As Mental Health is a subject we are increasingly more aware of, it is clear that the one thing every human being on the planet is born with has been an under-educated, under-talked-about entity.

Overcome Fear With This Simple Distraction Method

by

Last week when we boarded a plane to Dublin, the lady directly in front of me was in a state of complete fear about the whole experience.  Clearly, she had a major internal imbalance causing her distress.  I had a pretty good sense that I could help if she was open to it.

This Is The Cost Of What You Want Most

by

It’s what makes the best novels great, the most captivating movies sell-out, the scenario in which the main character must pay the unthinkable cost for what they most desire. You lean in, hoping they don’t choose the option that means if the same were true for you in your current situation you’d be screwed.

How to BE in the moments you don’t want

by

Have you ever been in one of those situations where your body was there as your representative but that was about it.  You were there in person but completely absent inside?  It could’ve been a one-off event you endured or maybe it was a more painful experience which lasted a few weeks or even years.

When the struggle is real

by

When Adele collected her third Brit Award, we saw her ‘have a moment’.  Struggling through tears, she said, “I got really lost for a while… and I didn’t know if I’d come back”. The global, best-selling, multi-award-winning success of the record album that is ’25’ was almost never made, and the world would never have known about it.

WHEN THINGS GO TITS UP, it’s instinctive to scramble and try return life to how it was before. To get things BACK to what we’re used to. Back, back, back... “Keep it all together, how I like it and need it to be in order for me to be OK!” . The more of these seasons I’ve lived through (there have been a lot this past 8 years🤦🏻‍♀️) I’ve come to trust that these Universal shake-ups are things to embrace not resist. Painful as they are and loathe them as we may, they serve to make us stronger, more resilient and also less affected. It’s a good thing. How do we stop ourselves from jumping in and creating more stress trying to get life back to what we know? By sitting with the discomfort and allowing it to take us FORWARD.

YOU’RE STRONGER THAN you think because thinking is a condition of being human. But you, you’re a spiritual being having a human experience✨ Where your humanity doth protest too much: “this IS NOT the way, I canNOT do life like this”, your higher self waits patiently knowing YOU ARE EVERYTHING you need to make it 🙏🏻 . . . #corona #coronavirus #consciousness #spirituality #awakening #staystrong #wholeness #humanity
MANY OF US ARE FINDING beautiful upsides to the current life situation we find our self in. The pressure is off, the striving slowed, the treadmill halted. That in itself is a huge relief. You wouldn’t admit it though right? It might be considered inconsiderate. There’s people facing heartbreaking, stressful, and inconceivable circumstances every day... And so we don’t know quite what to say. If this is you, IT’S OK to allow yourself to feel content. I’m deeply thankful not everyone is in turmoil! I’m aware of many of us who feel this unforeseen situation is somehow a gift to life at this time. It doesn’t mean we’re ignorant of those who are facing private hardship, pain, loss and difficulties. Nor does it mean we are not ourselves ALSO experiencing them. It just means we’re able to weather this storm differently. Out of this I 🙏🏻 that we become more compassionate and understanding of each other. Sending love to you all 💙
THIS IS MAY BE MARMITE... we’ll see, it’s a fine line. I’m aware ‘essential survival’ is open to interpretation 😂, but many of us right now are simply not concerned about what we were even a week ago. Balance will return. We will spend again on the privileges in life - but right now most of the planet is still in survival mode. So let us know you’re there still, but lay off the hard sell. It’s too soon. Our greatest gift to each other at a time like this is to ask how we can be of service and IMPORTANTLY, how we can keep each others spirits up. . My 💛 has delighted in seeing so many acts of kindness, generosity, reaching out, love, and compassion here on these squares. Long may it continue. X
👋🏻YOU THERE - YES YOU! Hey friend, I just wanted to reach out today and say that I know a lot is uncertain right now but I know that you know how to do digging deep. I know that you know how to do curveballs. I know that you know how to do difficulty. I know that you know how to overcome hardship. I know that you know how to overcome feelings you’re unsure about. I know that you know how to overcome tough times. I know that you know how to rise above. I know that you know how to go again. I know that you know how to give to others when it’s also costing you. I know that you know how to look after yourself. How do I know? Because if you’re old enough to be reading this I know you’ve already survived and overcome many of these already that come part and parcel of being human. Though we’re not all facing this from the same background, or circumstances, or life-situation, it is happening to all of us and we each have strengths we can lend each other from what we know. So, I’m here for you 🤝 Now more than ever we have the greatest tools at our disposal for being able to have community and connection so let’s use them! If you want to open up a conversation or share something you think others would benefit from, just leave it in a comment below or DM me if you want to keep private. All the love ✨ . . . #coronacommunity #corona #community #coronavirus #consciousness #consciousliving
I RATHER APPRECIATE MY TOILET ROLL... sure, this virus situation isn’t ideal, but I’m choosing 1000% to activate love, and kindness, and compassion, and looking out for others the best I can right now. If you’ve followed me for any length of time on here, you’ll know I have a plumbline for life: LOVE or FEAR. Here’s how that’s playing out right now: 1.) I love my toilet roll as much as the next person (and yes I have bought-in extra), but I will not do so out of fear. I simply think it’s wise to take whatever precautionary measures I can right now. Nutrition, mental health, connection to others, supplies - I’m asking “what can I do to do this well?” . 2.) I will not judge how others handle this global situation. As humans we are hard wired to survive and I know that right now it’s natural for many to go into a survival-mode mind-set. Right and wrong is a conversation of our most basic selves, our egos - fear. Love is wise and non-judgemental. Sending ❤️. . . . #blossom #joy #corona #coronavirus #consciousness #consciousliving
UNPLANNED CONTENT! Who even does that these days?! I find it interesting how increasingly we’re moving towards stories; something to do with the less demanding, in-the-moment spontaneity and simplicity that Instagram was once known for d’ya think? Whatever it is, this is something I shared there this morning. Those of you who dip into my stories will know that for 12 years I’ve had a rule about hills: “We DO NOT RUN up any kind of incline. Ever! We walk on the hills, we run on the flat”. . That is until about two weeks ago when I decided I’d take on a couple of local hills, one lamppost at a time. Now I can make it half way up both hills. Small Steps Over None👣 . ⁉️WHAT COULD YOU TAKE ON if you just gave it the smallest go? What would 1% look like? For those of you still reading, THE REASON I had this rule was because then I knew that on any given day I would never be under any pressure to exercise in a way that I didn’t want to. It’s served me well - 12 years later I’m still exercising and have stacked many other things onto what began as walking. . . . #exercise #fitnessmotivation #encouragement #hillrunning #empowerment #coaching #mentor #lifebalance #balancementor #personalpower #lifementor #lifecoach #slowliving #livewell #success #inspiration #smallstepsovernone #consciousliving #wellbeing #personalgrowth #womenempoweringwomen #personaldevelopment
