In my opinion if everyone learnt from a young age to meditate, the world would definitely be a happier and calmer place. I still can't believe that I am saying and writing that. Once upon a time and only a few years back, I hated meditation. There is no way in hell anyone could encourage or even pay me to stop, pause, be still and try to mediate. But then……………………………………. something happened. As the saying goes, “When the student is ready the teacher appears.” The only reason

I start most days with stillness and meditation, this is done without phones on or even in my vision. I feel the screen strain as soon as I look at the phone or TV. These devices really have the power to suck our energy if we let them. I take the first 20 minutes of my day to mediate, say my affirmations and take a moment to just pause, stop and listen. Listen to my breath and listen to another precious morning. Every day I walk my dog Shazza sometimes with friends, if not

The majority of us take time every day to clean our teeth. I say majority, I know that when growing up my oldest brother Daniel didn't clean his teeth every day, we were always harassing him about it. I do hope he is better with cleaning these days. I'm sure he must be, as his wife wouldn't let him share a bed otherwise. Having a shower is another task that the majority of us do each day, sometimes even more than once. I am deeply convinced it's just as important we take ca

How annoying is it when you find yourself around someone who keeps whining, complaining, bitching and moaning…it’s annoying, right? I’m sure at times we’ve all had our go at being that annoying whiner. I will be honest, when I’m around someone who is chronically whining, complaining, bitching and moaning it’s as difficult for me as it is for anyone else. The energy of those conversations is awful. If we are not conscious of it, we can often find ourselves becoming the whiner.

Who are you judging? Are you judging yourself? We can’t help it, all us human beings judge, but why are you judging others? We all hate when we feel judged but we still do it to ourselves and others. Make a list of the people that you find you are judging and ask yourself why? No one wants to be judgmental and whether you are judging yourself or others, this for sure, dims our energy, light and happy hormones. It never feels good. I can sometimes come home kicking myself if I

Even if it’s just one thing a day. Instead of eating breakfast on the run can you add an extra 15 minutes to sit outside and enjoy it whilst getting your daily dose of Vitamin D. Remember, you are the master of your choices, the master of your time and you need to own your day, not let your day, other people and circumstances own you. #happiness #joy #love #abundance #findyourhappy #sayyestolife

It has been a hard lesson to learn and most of us women love to try and do, and be everything to everyone all the time. We then wonder why we have a breakdown feeling overwhelmed like the world is on top of us at times. I genuinely had to get serious about taking this self-care wholeheartedly. Throughout the past and still at different points in my life I feel like I’m going to lose the plot, feeling so emotionally overwhelmed and at any point I could break. I love what I do,

Its time to do some soul work Get out your diary and have a look at your weekly, monthly, annual, and daily schedule and start to pencil in some magic moment appointments for your own self nourishment. How can you make time for YOU? What habit can you make a priority each day that you love to do that would bring sustenance and depth to your soul? You might have a few daily magic moments like me and some that are weekly. Once a fortnight I like to get a massage or go and have

I am a huge fan of owning my morning and doing the best I can to prepare myself for an awesome day. I’m even more passionate about taking time to make sure we are nourishing and giving to ourselves in a way that sparks joy each and every single day. If we cannot give to ourselves before anyone else wants a piece of us how can we possibly be expected to give to anyone else? The morning time is a great idea to get ready for the day and fuel yourself for success, but for many th

Time with Yourself.. So now we've really started diving in and you should have discovered what really makes you smile and fills your joy tank and what makes your happy hormones jump with glee. You should have also built up some awareness of what is not bringing you joy, resulting in the dimming of your light. This is the pleasurable and fun part. This is where we get to dive into being the master, the manager and director of your day. Looking at scheduling our daily routine s

Can we just let go, learn to accept ourselves, and others for who we are? A little affirmation that I like to often say, when doing the above exercises is: I accept and release all judgements I have made on myself or _____________________ Instead, I choose to act with love, kindness and compassion. Thank You. #love #abundance #joy #happiness #laughter #fun #sayyestolife #smile #findyourhappy

Make a list of the people who you would like to forgive, love and let go. This often is also ourselves. Often the biggest obstacles holding us back from forging forward in our lives is forgiving the people from our past. The ex-boyfriends, school friends, teachers, parents, who may have hurt us along our path. I’m not religious but I do love some of the messages in the bible especially this one on forgiveness. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who ca

In your journal also add a list of some of the tasks that you are ready to let go of. Some of mine were cleaning the house, washing the car, doing the food shopping. I’m sure you have a million things you would love to throw in the rubbish, let go of and allow more space for joy and smiles. The last list is.......... Judgements Who are you judging? Are you judging yourself? We can’t help it, all us human beings judge, but why are you judging others? We all hate when we feel j

Make a list of the expectations that you feel, you and others may have placed on you. I felt for a long time that so many of my family members expected me to meet a partner, get married and have a baby. No judgement to anyone that has done this but it's like we perceive this as the normal thing to do. It just at the time didn't feel like that was the path or journey for me. It didn’t feel right. Deep in my heart I wanted to travel, work and get to know myself, as I felt lost

It's journal time. When you are ready sit down with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Taking some time to write out and journal all the things that you can think of, that you know deep inside, you are holding onto. Things you feel ready and willing to start the process of letting go and even if you feel you are not ready yet, still write it out as something that you are hoping to move through in the future. A great way is to start listing out all the grudges that you sense are keep
