2020 - the year of freedom

13/12/2019

✨The year ahead ✨

2020 for many of us is set to become the year we’ve all been longing for: the final release from karmic templates, slavery and victimiser programs and the birth into true freedom.
These are exciting times!

For many of us this will mean finally letting go of anything that no longer serves us. Letting go of anything out of balance and putting in place, very naturally, new and self-loving templates.

8 QUICK natural energy boosters

28/11/2019

I struggle during this time of year. I already start to miss the sunshine, the vitamin D, the plasma light, the nourishment in my body and soul.
⭐️
I start to feel depleted of energy, lethargic and occasionally my mood feels flatter too.

It’s a tricky time of year with the festivities around us as well, bringing with them mince pies, treats and snacks that perhaps we manage to successfully avoid throughout the year.

Where do you get your protein?

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN?

This is possibly the biggest question I get asked when I meet people or when I start working with clients.
Every single person has this deep fear of not getting enough protein - specifically from meat.

Proteins are in every cell in the body and are the building block of life and they come from amino acids. So though the more important answer is: where do we get our essential amino acids from?

Don't Play Small!

I love this passage in Brené Browns’ book, Rising Strong:

“There’s a pivotal scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Yoda is training Luke to be a Jedi Warrior, teaching him how to honourably use the Force and how the dark side of the Force - anger, fear, and aggression - can consume him if he doesn’t learn how to find calm and inner peace.

In this scene, Luke and Yoda are standing in the dark swap where they’ve been training when a strange look comes over Luke. He points towards a dark cave at the base of a giant tree and, looking at Yoda, he says, “There’s something not right here…I feel cold. Death”.”

“Yoda explains to Luke that the cave is dangerous and strong with the dark side of the Force. Luke looks confused and afraid, but Yoda’s response is simply, “In you must go”.”
At the end of the story, Luke goes into the cave only to have a fierce battle with Darth Vader, only to find that once he’s cut his head off that actually it’s Luke’s own head starting at him from the ground.

It can feel dangerous to confront ourselves with the truth but if we have to own our stories and our feelings if we’re to grow and move on.

One of the things I've been rumbling with for the last couple of weeks is this intense feeling of self-doubt that comes up often for me to work on. So when it does this is what I do first:

One of my favourite questions for uncovering the truth in any situation:
The story I’m Telling Myself Is:_____________________________

We're always telling ourselves stories, for example mine is around second guessing everything I do because of being a recovering perfectionist as well as having lived with low self-esteem for most of my life.

BUT no more!

These are the most perfect times to rumble with our stories, see what's behind them and break FREE!!

So what story are you telling yourself today?

The Surprising Secret to Loving Your Body

12/3/2019

For so many years I have focussed ALL of my attention on the areas of my body that I hate, that repulse me and which have been identified by others as not being ‘beautiful’.
.
I’ve written before about how my boobs have always been an obsession for me, and not being able to accept and love my body just as it is.

The Most Powerful Change You Can Make

I’ve often thought of myself a bit like a guinea pig. Have you ever seen one?

They get so excited when it’s dinner time and food is coming that they start to squeak. I can so relate to that! I love food. I am a foodie and just like guinea pigs I love plants.

Perhaps what you don’t know is that ever since I can remember I have craved substances.

First it was cheese, bread, pasta, chocolate, takeaways, orange juice, milk and pastries. Then it was cigarettes, alcohol, people’s company, attention, and weed.

Anxiety and the Empath

29/1/2019

The other day I wrote a post about how what we feed ourselves affects how we feel. If you haven’t read that then give it a read here.

What I didn’t mention the other day is how anxiety can be different for those of us who are highly sensitive and / or empaths.

If you’re not sure what a highly sensitive person is and whether you are one, check out this quick quiz (I love a quiz!).

Have you heard the saying: eat today how you want to feel tomorrow?

When I was growing up I had absolutely no idea that what I ate affected how I felt. Zero.

Many of us are also highly sensitive which means we experience the world slightly differently to others. I bet there are more people in your environment who are highly sensitive that you realise!

How To Stop Using Food To Fill The Void

“My head is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me" - Imama al-shafi’i.

So often we spend our time focussing on other people and their needs because we’re told that doing anything else is a selfish act.

Well I completely disagree and I believe that focussing on making sure our needs are met gives us more space and more time to be fully present and engaged with others.
