25.01.2022 I'll be running a workshop, Living the Dream and Being on Purpose for the FB group Social Mums Bayside. October 10. It will be a great opportunity to focus on your life as well as meet other local mums.... Here is the link https://facebook.com//living-the-dream-a/609903679929625/

25.01.2022 Sometimes you got to parent yourself to get what's good for you. Eat the veggies. Put the music on. Paint the painting. Like we did at kindy!

24.01.2022 Food for thought.

23.01.2022 It is now 2 months in to the new year ... the year we hoped would be different. For many of us though it still seems to be running on the same lines. Covid is here, our friends and family are still far away, and then there's the random hospital admissions of those near and dear to me. The usual daily obstacles of living life are still there. So how do we deal with it? I don't mean the practical logistics. I mean, how do we find happiness in all this difficulty? First up is t...o examine, with kindness, our own attitudes. When are we cool with the ebb and flow and when are we losing our patience? This will outline our areas where we cope well and where we don't. We are social beings. When we are coping we have the presence to be there for others which is great. When we are not coping we have a choice to 'call in' the presence of others. Who can we ask for support? What would we like? A good chat? A massive distraction? A wordless hug? That's enough food for thought for now. Next post I'll cover what comes up for us when we are asking for support. Please comment below and let me know your experience.

23.01.2022 This is a thoughtful list of coping strategies, not your usual cliches.

23.01.2022 It is so easy to let time slide by. Living your purpose takes a lot of clarity and prioritising. In the meantime there are a lot of things that can distract you or demand your time and energy. Imagine for a moment that you knew with crystal clarity why you are here on this earth. You are so clear on it that every opportunity and choice is easily decided on by you. No dramas, no hesitation. Just clarity. Life becomes bigger and more beautiful day by day. You live a fulfilled life and at the end you have no regrets. When do you start really getting focused? Right Now! Find your purpose and how to work with it at the next workshop on Friday 6 March. Living the Dream and Being on Purpose.

23.01.2022 After one of the toughest years ever I am feeling in the mood to plan for 2021. Sometime soon I will make the time to dream of a year of wonderful things (big and small, whatever matters). It will be a relaxed, fun session. We all need this time to open up to the possibilities again after a year of limitations and uncertainty. We have survived and thrived in spite of all the craziness. Now it is time to attend to ourselves, to ask 'What do I really want for 2021?'. I will be ...running a workshop session or two for anyone who wants to get inspired about 2021. Is anyone ready for this right now? Or is it just me? Too soon? I'm ready to kiss goodbye to 2020. The only way is up. If you are interested just email me at [email protected] or text me on 0413931870.

20.01.2022 Come Find Your Purpose with me on March 6. Already got your purpose? Let's align your life to your purpose in achievable steps. https://facebook.com/events/s/living-the-dream-and-being-on-/177876080227853/?ti=as

20.01.2022 After 2020 you might feel a bit hesitant to plan for 2021. Why make a vision board if the world can throw a pandemic into the mix? Creating a vision board is really enjoyable and helps build a sense of excitement and hope. It also sets your subconscious up to spot the opportunities in the periphery that match your desires. Throughout the year the vision board acts as a friendly reminder of how you wanted to spend these 12 months. There may well be another wave of pandemics o...r fires or whatever. But if the year is easier you will want to make the most of it and your vision board will help you. A vision board is the start of setting new neural pathways between your joys and your day to day mental routines. So I invite you to take a few hours off and go for it... See more

19.01.2022 Time is fleeting. If you know you want a better life with more joy, connection and purpose... if you want to be in the driver's seat more often... then make the time to create the life you know you truly want. You might be too busy but isn't that half the problem? When are you ready to say enough? It's time to step away for a morning and gain a fresh perspective. There are 3 hours I'd love to spend with you on Friday 6 March. It could be the turning point. You can have the ...life you want once you get clear on what is important to you. There is nothing more wonderful than living the life you were meant to live. Why wait?

18.01.2022 Is it time for you?

18.01.2022 Hate being vulnerable? There is another way to experience it. This gem of a video is especially relevant for all of us at this time.

18.01.2022 This is on this coming Tuesday. Now is the time to book your tickets. Limited places and social distancing. Time to get your life into sharper focus and bring your passion to life?

18.01.2022 I'm just a little excited! We will have our first participant from interstate join us online for tomorrow night's workshop.I'm just a little excited! We will have our first participant from interstate join us online for tomorrow night's workshop.

17.01.2022 It is on this Thursday. Get your tickets now. Only 3 places left!

17.01.2022 Every day where something outside of your control goes your way is a blessing. But only if you see it as a bonus instead of an entitlement. A morning without the almost constant vertigo lately was my blessing yesterday.

16.01.2022 Painting is my happy place...doing something that is just about enjoyment and reminds you of what joy is, is so worthwhile.

16.01.2022 Interesting perspective on disappointing others. Their disappointment may be more about their expectations rather than your actions.

15.01.2022 Another amazing night of much laughter and some great insights at Living the Dream and Being On Purpose. We had our first mixed workshop including Rosa from Melbourne. Great to able to feel we can share some light and laughter with those in lockdown.

15.01.2022 Great clip on how people view happiness and the pursuit of it from The Project. https://www.facebook.com/TheProjectTV/videos/621986121977640/

12.01.2022 This a great way to look at addictions and the underlying context.

12.01.2022 Our stories either free us or limit us. And we can change them when we are ready to.

10.01.2022 We are hard wired to belong in a pack. Rejection is what we fear, it drives us without us even being aware of it. So many things this year have shaken the collective to our core. So what matters most now is offering kindness and togetherness to as many others as possible.

08.01.2022 FINANCIALLY SAVVY TIP Here is a great link that you can search for unclaimed money. If you don't claim it the govt keeps it. Every little bit counts. https://moneysmart.gov.au/find-unclaimed-money

08.01.2022 3 not so easy steps for having a great life. The first layer is having effective boundaries. In an ideal peaceful world we wouldn't need to set boundaries with people because they would never trample on us. In reality, humans will overstep their mark, just as cats sometimes scratch us. It catches us by surprise. We would rather humans didn't behave so crappily. But they do and so what can we do about it? We can set and express our boundaries clearly and calmly knowing that it... is our job to monitor our own boundary line. It is not their job to maintain our boundary. It is ours. Ofcourse their behaviour, good or bad, is their responsibility. There are many cultured layers to why women in particular may feel uncomfortable setting boundaries. The risk of being unloved for having a boundary is worth overcoming. It is only with firm boundaries that we can experience good loving relationships. When our boundaries are not clearly expressed it is as if we have left the front door open and hope no-one burgles the house. There are times when someone will strongly violate our boundaries and cause us harm. There are people who don't respect a boundary. The quicker you move to put them outside your boundary line the better. Do not hold onto resentment for what happened or feel guilty. Whatever you feel after the event is your business and no longer effects anyone but you and those near to you. So, have effective boundaries. Next up is opening up. There is a whole level of existence that is waiting to be appreciated by you. Once you dare seek to get clear of the obstacles (mostly internal), wonders will never cease. But, like the looking glass, the only way to experience this is to step right into it. If that seems scary or ludicrous start by asking yourself, 'why do I feel this way?' There can be a lot of processing to do to understand your personal obstacles and resistance. Every day is yours to either keep the blinkers on or to gradually drop the limiting thoughts. Wonders are there waiting for you once you start challenging your inner obstacles. Life really is a lot better than most people are open to. But as well as the wonderment there is suffering. There will be, and the trick is to not panic. What can't be fixed will be endured. If you have done what you can to deal with the suffering, you can rest in acceptance and endurance. And in this resting point even more wonders will be found. People often feel they are the victim when they suffer. They think that something or someone must be blamed. It's ok to analyse a problem and attribute responsibility. But just don't stay there. Move on and focus on what you can do in the situation. So in a nutshell, 1. Get clear about your boundaries. 2. Get vulnerable to be open to all the opportunities you dare for. 3. Get discerning and do not panic when it comes to suffering.

06.01.2022 What have you done this week to tend to your joy? It isn't easy to prioritise joy. But it sure is worth it. What makes you you? Where are your happy places?... This week I went a bit outside my comfort zone and took myself off in my shiny new skates (purple glitter ones) and my sassy new crash leggings to a roller skating rink in a faraway land. And I loved it! 2 hours of speed and sweat and music and wobbles and smiles. So. Many. Smiles. So where will you take yourself this week?

06.01.2022 Many people I speak with are not simply able to give themselves the things they need like peace, healthy boundaries, and solitude. Eventually though, the cost of ignoring self care and regard for self becomes apparent and change is on the cards. I help people understand their internal dialogue and create more freedom to choose.

06.01.2022 Finding your tribe is not the answer. You will hear success coaches talking about your circle of influence. It is true that your beliefs about yourself are either eroded or reinforced by your environment. So there is a widely accepted idea to find your tribe, limit the negative people in your life and to elevate yourself by hanging out with more successful people.... As a success coach this doesn't sit well with me. For one you have to start where you are at. For many of us, we are dealing with difficult family members and complex interdependent relationships. You could wake up tomorrow morning and walk away from all of that. But that comes at a fairly high price for most of us. The second reason I distance myself from this idea of only hanging with those more successful than you is this: compassion and balance. Life is a fruit salad, you may not love grapes but you'll cope with a few. Learning to value diversity in people is what will help the world be a better place. Growing some understanding of others comes from being around a mix of people. Empathy is a quality worth developing. On the other hand, finding your tribe of successful people and ditching all the ordinary people is not going to do wonders for humanity. By all means get very conscious of what and who you are influenced by. Be sure to have some influences that encourage you to be your best. Limit your interactions with truly toxic people. But don't lose your empathy in the quest to be more successful. The world needs us to join together and lift each other up. Wherever possible include those who might not be included. Finding your tribe is worthwhile as part of a balanced and inclusive approach.

05.01.2022 Reading Hamlet today. It's about failed leadership, personal choice, and responsibility. There is really only one way to go as Shakespeare said...

05.01.2022 There is a lot I could say at this time but above all, be kind, to everyone including yourself. If you have more quiet time and you are noticing the internal talk is negative, Just Notice. Then find one thing to encourage yourself with and go with that. We have a long way to go, so let's go with grace, kindness and love.

04.01.2022 Expanding Valentine Please read this for a different take on Valentine's Day. Dear all, I read something the other day which reminded me of the difference between the potential of romantic love and Big Love. I'm all for people experiencing the amazingness of romantic love. My message is: don't stop there. The heart opening adventure that you go on with that special other person is just the beginning of connecting to every beating heart on the planet. Why not get and give hugs... to all and sundry? Why not smile at strangers? Conduct your own social experiment along the lines of "What percentage of strangers can I get a return smile from today?" or for those with children "How many times can I get a smile out of each one today?" Create your own experiment to test your assumptions. Share the love. Let me know if anything surprising happens. In the meantime don't forget that this might be your last chance to show your appreciation of someone. On that note, I love you all. You have all enriched my life in some unexpected way and I wouldn't have missed out on any of it: good, bad and ugly!!! Big Love, Tam See more

03.01.2022 The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But researchers have discovered something fantastic. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therap...eutic effect on the body and mind. The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called "oxytocin", also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits in our physical and mental health, helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This wonderful calming is offered free of charge every time we have a person in our arms, who cradled a child, we cherish a dog or cat, we're dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or just hold the shoulders of a friend.

03.01.2022 Ever wondered why some people seem to have all the luck or why some people are happy despite their circumstances?

03.01.2022 This author SARK has been writing the good stuff for decades about stepping into our fullest selves.

03.01.2022 Why be creative? So many people drop their hobbies in the busy-ness of life. But here's what we stand to gain by playing creatively just for the sake of it.

02.01.2022 If you find you don't get any self care the first step is preparation. Give yourself time to write a set of ideas down of stuff you love doing. Make sure there is a range of cheap and easy ones all the way up to ones that don't even seem possible right now. Then create a small goal, say 10 mins a day for example. And start. You might not get there every day but the shift has begun. As the story says, 'an iced currant bun with one cherry on is better than a bun with none'. Once self care is well and truly part of your life all sorts of benefits arise: like more clarity, more happiness, more empathy, more connection with your self and others.... And who doesn't want that?

02.01.2022 I will reschedule the workshop Living the Dream and Being on Purpose to another day of the week and for about 2 weeks time. (Thank you vertigo for completely exhausting me!) What day suits you?

02.01.2022 Is your partner getting on your nerves? Are lots of things just so annoying? We played this game on the weekend. I call it Sarcastic Polyanna. Here's how it goes... For one hour noone was allowed to complain or be negative. If anyone said something negative the other one had to turn it into a positive. We made it a joke, nothing serious. ... E.g. Me: I have to pee. I hate those public toilets. They're disgusting. Him: but you love peeing don't you? Isn't it just the best thing. I mean how good is peeing right? And you get to do it in a public toilet. That's awesome! The upshot after an hour I was feeling happier and more connected. Still the same irritating stuff out there but now it seemed less powerful. It was fun to be creative and silly. At this stage of the lockdown, or chronic illness, or whatever is going on in your life, the fatigue is setting in. Gallows humour is a much needed relief. It has two effects on people. It provides distraction and it also strengthens bonds between people. Stay strong everyone. Or at least strong enough to wave for help.
