25.01.2022 The poem below perfectly describes what it is like for so many of us when we stop ourselves doing something because of our fear, because of the limiting beliefs we have about ourselves. Now I'm not usually a big fan of poetry but the message in this one shared by Tash Lewin is well worth sharing. Tash shared this poem on her own page this morning in regard to posting on FB but its relevance for all of us goes way beyond. Have a read a let me know if this resonates for you i...n the comments below. Thank you Tash. "For some reason, I hold back. I get nervous about posting... What if they don't like what I have to say? What if I get no likes or comments? Oh no...I posted and no one liked or commented, that means they don't like me, I am unlikeable. The story I have always told myself unfolds once more, I spiral, down, down, back to the depths. I search above me, I seek a way out, a way back up. But this time, instead of struggling upwards, I stop still. I examine the darkness around me. I pull the words out from the depths. Why, what is here? What wounds have I buried, deep down below the surface? When did this start, why does it continue? Who were you, where were you when you wrote this story? The answers race by me, hard to grasp, hard to connect. I slow down, I stop, I allow them to come to me. The story unfolds before me. A moment in time. A taunt or harsh word, spoken in haste at the most vulnerable moment and a seed was planted. The unworthy seed. The unlikeable seed. The unloved seed. The plant grew and wrapped my heart, squeezing ever so slightly but not enough to constrict, just enough to hold back. As I acknowledge and accept them, the tangles unwind, they let go, and I can see them for what they are. A beautiful garden, just waiting to be seen, waiting for visitors. I acknowledge the pain, and I let it recede. I no longer need it to survive, I can now thrive. I float to the surface, light as a feather. I am free. As I turn and look around, I notice tendrils creeping out of other's hearts. I realise they also have gardens waiting to be released, to be seen, to be visited. I have the key to unlock their gate, it must be shared, so they can see what I have seen. So they too can be free." - Tash Lewin

24.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 10 Be Part of Something Bigger People who have meaning and purpose in their lives are happier, feel more in control, and get more out of what they do. ... They also experience less stress, anxiety and depression. Meaning can come from religious faith, spirituality, being a parent or doing a job that makes a difference. The answer is different for each one of us, but they all involve being connected to something bigger than ourselves. There's something beyond us, and while we are here on earth, we need to be involved in things outside of us, as a way of contributing to a satisfying and fulfilling life. What are you part of that makes you feel good? I’d love you to share in the comments below.

23.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 4 Look After Your Body We only have one body. It is in this beautiful vessel that we travel our life. ...

23.01.2022 This quote from Glennon Doyle’s book Untamed is fabulous. Gift yourself a minute and feel into what is written and how you can use it for yourself.

23.01.2022 This month's 'Worth A Watch' is 4 Habits of ALL Successful Relationships - Dr Andrea & Jonathan Taylor-Cummings (16:42mins). ALL relationships face a similar set of hurdles. We all need to be equipped to get over the hurdles, so that our relationships don’t just survive, but thrive. Based on over 20+ years’ experience of working with countless couples, Dr. Andrea & Jon Taylor-Cummings share their observations of the 4 fundamental habits that all successful relationships exhib...it.

23.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 9 Look For What is Good Positive emotions like joy, gratitude, contentment, inspiration and pride are not just great at the time. ... Recent research shows that regularly experiencing them creates an upward spiral, helping to build our resources. The more we look at the things that are working in our life and feel into that, that becomes what we focus on. As a result, we experience more of that. Although we need to be realistic about life's up and ups and downs, it helps to focus on the good aspects of any situation. The glass half full, rather than a glass half empty. When things are tough, many of us have a tendency to focus on the things that aren't working but if we look at our lives overall, often it might only be 10% or 20% of our lives that we're having an issue with but we let it take over 100% of our feelings. We forget to focus on the fact that actually 80% of our life is going really well. I’m not saying the 20% doesn't matter, or that we don't need to deal with it, however, if we focus more on the 80%, and get more perspective about what's actually happening, we recognise that life isn't as bad as we might think. What's one good thing you have in your life right now? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.

22.01.2022 What are you going to choose? Everyday we get to choose what we do, how we do it, how we feel and who we want to be. What choices will you make that will bring you closer to happiness?

19.01.2022 I recently had the privilege of being interviewed as part of the "Answering the Call of Your Purpose" series hosted by Luanne Mareen and I am honoured to share it with you. If you are interested to know exactly how I help women to create lives and relationships they love, what I do and why I do it, then I invite you to have a listen. I do get a bit emotional through the interview as I recall what led me to doing what I do and I know many of you will resonate with my story.

19.01.2022 Have you put your dreams and goals on hold this year? Are you treading water waiting for things to change in your external world before you take steps towards what it is you want? Life is certainly throwing us some challenges so it’s time to get creative. Think and feel into what your next right step is. Keep moving towards the creation of what you want in your life - even if it’s just one tiny step at a time.

18.01.2022 This is my story in 2 mins - I wonder if its yours too!

18.01.2022 Yesterday I was having the first session with one of my new students and she shared with me her fear of what her work colleagues thought of her. She talked about her fear that she was being judged as not good enough in her chosen profession. As she did so she said I’ve never told anyone that before. The fear and the worry are real and I know it’s something many of us feel and worry about. The old what do/will others think of me? I want to share with you what I said to her which was what others think of you is none of your business . It doesn’t actually matter what others think of you. What matters is what you think of yourself. Let that sink in! The quote below from Brene Brown contains great wisdom. Read it and take it on as you bravely continue to show up and be all you can be.

17.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 8 Be Resilient Resilience can be described as the ability to bend, instead of breaking when under pressure or difficulty, or the ability to persevere and adapt when faced with challenges. ... Most of us have experienced periods of stress in our life such as loss, failure or trauma. It's how we respond to these events that have a biggest impact on our well-being, and our sense of our own ability to cope with what life throws at us. We can't choose what happens to us, but in principle, we can choose our own attitude and response to what happens. It's not what happens to us that matters, it's what we come to believe ourselves, as a result of what happens, that matters. We get to choose how we respond to what happens in our lives.

16.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 7 Have Goals Having goals, direction and aspirations and feeling positive about the future is important for our happiness. ... We need goals to inspire us and these need to be challenging enough to excite us but also be achievable. If our goal is too big a stretch, it can create unnecessary angst. If we are trying to attempt the impossible, that can agitate us rather than being an intrinsic motivator or inspiration. Choose ambitious but realistic goals to give your life direction and bring a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Your goals don't have to be world changing goals. A goal could be to work through the cupboards in your house and declutter so that you create new space and energy in the home. It could be having a goal about your health such as eating better, trying new recipes or walking every day. It's about having goals that bring enough of a challenge to excite you but not to add additional stress. What goals are you working on? I'd love you to share in the comments below.

16.01.2022 FREE eBook - The 10 Keys to Happiness KEY 2 - Connect with People People with strong and broad social relationships are happier, healthier, and live longer. Humans do better when we connect with other people. Humans are social animals so close relationships with family and friends provide love, meaning, support and increase our feelings of self-worth. ... Broader networks bring a sense of belonging, so taking action to strengthen our relationships, and build connections is essential for happiness, and it doesn't have to be with family. It can be connections with work colleagues, other people in our community and our neighbours. It's about having others in your life, that you can give a cheery hello to, and most importantly, if you need a hand, there's someone you can lean on. Connections with other people are at the heart of happiness, both theirs and ours. Click the link below to download your copy of "The 10 Keys to Happiness" Https://cathyfyffe.com/freebies/

14.01.2022 In what way can you be the One?

14.01.2022 May we all be brave enough to put down the masks that we think are protecting us and our hearts from being hurt, but are stopping us from being seen and loved for the truth of who we are! ( Of course, I’m referring to the metaphorical masks - not those we are wearing to reduce the spread of Corona virus).

13.01.2022 This month in Cathy's Corner, I talk about a topic that has been a big focal point for both myself and the women I work with lately - Expressing Emotions! We are often taught from a very young to stifle the expression of things like anger and sadness, because our loved ones don't like to see us hurting. How many times did you hear the word - "it's ok, don't cry" as a child? Being told this continually as children often results in us, as adults, developing strong suppressive ...habits around any emotions that we see as 'negative'. In my Create A Life To Love program, I work with women, teaching them how to dissolve these suppressive patterns and explore healthy ways to express all emotions (even the painful ones). One of the ways we do this is by understanding that emotions are merely just signposts. They are the body's way of sending us a message that there is something to look at and process. And think about it, if you were driving along a winding road and came across a sign that said "Danger - Falling Rocks", would you ignore the sign? Would you cover it up? Would you get angry at it, or try to bury it? I am thinking not! I am curious, what is your relationship with your emotions?

12.01.2022 2020 is not at all what I thought it would be. Yet the requirement to let go of all I had planned has opened and allowed space for other things. I am finding joy in the small things like hearing my son laughing as he plays online with his friends. Harvesting the vegetables I have growing in my garden. The weekly zoom call with my mum, brothers and sisters - that would never have happened without lockdown. I am exploring my creativity and we are playing games as a family a c...ouple of times a week. What is bringing you joy. I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

10.01.2022 Do you feel you are running on empty? Given all we have had to deal with lately this would not be surprising. This upcoming series may be of interest to you. Well respected presenters. I’ll be signing up to glean some new insights. https://exhaustedseries.com/trailer/?modal=admin_todo_tour

07.01.2022 With so much going on right now, I invite you to share how you are feeling using the sheep scale. Pick your number and share why you chose that. As always it’s better to acknowledge and express how feel than to bottle it up.

07.01.2022 Free eBook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 3 Do Things For Others Helping others makes us healthier, and happier, too. Contribution, or looking beyond our own selves, is really critical to feeling better about ourselves and our lives. When we give to others, we are the ones that actually receive - we feel better ourselves. ... Giving connects us to others, which creates stronger communities for everybody. We can give time, money, energy and ideas, so if you want to feel good, do good! Move out of your own head and give from the heart in whatever way you can. Scientific studies show that helping others boosts happiness, increases life satisfaction, provides a sense of meaning, increases feelings of competence, improves your mood and reduces stress. Doing things for others can help to take our minds off our own troubles too, because when we're helping others, we're not focusing on ourselves.

07.01.2022 This is a fabulous insight into genuine self care. Have a read.

07.01.2022 What stops you from living a life you love? I really want to understand what it is that gets in the way for you. I truly want to understand your experience and why the life you are living is not all you want it to be. I am not referring to the impact Covid has had on all our lives. I am referring to the things that stop you feeling happy and fulfilled in your life.... I know for me, it was feeling disconnected from my hubby and alone in our marriage. That feeling of not only being misunderstood but also being judged for who I was. Thankfully for me this is no longer the case and my hubby and I have completely rebuilt our relationship. I would love it if you could share either in the comments below or in a PM, what gets in the way of you loving your life. I would be very grateful as this will help me create better content and services to support you to live your best life.

06.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 6 Be a Lifelong Learner Learning exposes us to new ideas and helps us stay curious and engaged. It gives us a sense of accomplishment and helps boost our self-confidence and resilience. ... Learning can happen in lots of different ways. It doesn't have to be formal education. We can learn through watching documentaries on TV or listening to podcasts or signing up for a new class. I started learning watercolour painting this year and I love it. It's about having an openness to new experiences and new learning. The key is keeping your mind active. My mum, for example, is 88 years old and she does the crossword every day. It keeps her brain moving. It also gives her a sense of accomplishment when she gets the crossword out. She learns new words. It's about being open and staying curious about what there is available in our world. We are never too old to learn. What are you learning or would love to learn? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below. Click the link below to download your copy of the free eBook The 10 Keys to Happiness https://cathyfyffe.com/freebies/

05.01.2022 Free eBook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 1 Love and Accept Yourself To me, this is ultimately what the journey of life is all about. To know, love and accept who you are, exactly where you are, right now. ... No one is perfect! We all have stuff but so often we compare our insides to other people's outside. We look at others from outside, because that's all we can see, and generally we compare ourselves unfavourably. We dwell on our flaws, and on what we're not, rather than what we areand it makes it that much harder to be happy. When you look in the mirror, what is it that you see? Instead of focusing on your imperfections, focus on the beauty within. Focus on the fact that you are perfect in your imperfect human form. We all have the highs, the lows, the shadows, and the light within us. That is what being human is, and our journey is about working on our shadows, so that we can bring more of us into the light. Loving and being accepting of ourselves and being gentle as we go on that journey is the key. Learning to love and accept ourselves, and being kinder to ourselves when things go wrong, increases our enjoyment of life, our resilience and our well-being. It also helps us accept others as they are. When we can accept and love ourselves as we are, we are less judgemental of others and can bring that same generosity of spirit to the people around us.

03.01.2022 Free ebook The Ten Keys to Happiness Key 5 Be Mindful Being mindful and aware can do wonders for our wellbeing in all areas of our life. ... It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, so we can get more out of the day to day. Mindfulness is often defined as the state of being attentive to and aware of what is taking place in the present’ and that's really the key. Being present far more often. It’s about not dwelling on the past and worrying about all the things that we regret or we're not happy about. It’s also about not projecting ahead where we are worrying or anticipating possible future unhappiness. The more we can live in the present moment, the more we can take in what's going on around us, the happier we'll be. The two critical elements of mindfulness are that it is intentional we are consciously doing it, and we are accepting, rather than judging what we notice. It's about tuning into what we can see, hear, taste, touch, and what is happening inside. It’s noticing our thoughts and our feelings in the moment. You can do it formally in meditation or you can just go out and lie in the grass and feel the sun on your face, feel the earth beneath your body, feel your hand, on your belly. When you are doing that, your mind is not worrying about other things. Our mind can only think about one thing at a time. If we bring ourselves back to the present, it's a critical step in our happiness.

03.01.2022 I love the concept behind Kerry Duncan’s Goodness Gracious. As Kerry says, Giving supports your own health and wellbeing and is one of the 10 keys to happiness. When we give to others, we feel good. I’m going to be sharing more about the 10 keys to happiness and what they are so that we all know what we need to do and be in order to feel that inner contentment.

01.01.2022 Each week in my Create a Life to Love (CALTL) Program, we meet for a powerful Q & A session. This is where women get the support, they need to make the changes they want to make in their lives. It's also where they get to feel heard, seen and got, as we share our achievements, our challenges, our learnings and insights for the week. The challenges of change was a big discussion point in our session this week as many women find themselves feeling resistant to it for a myriad o...f reasons. Change can be scary and very uncomfortable at times, but we all know the saying 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!" In CALTL we explore the ways in which we can plan and action change in a healthy way that identifies each stage and the steps we need to take to move towards the changes we want to make permanently in our lives. This ensures we have the tools to get unstuck and continually grow our ability to embrace the changes we need to make to create a life we love. Our willingness to embrace our vulnerability, to connect with our own heart and what is truly going on for us and to communicate that with those that matter to us. It's in our vulnerability that we recognise what we need to own in terms of our share of what's not working in our lives and then our willingness to express what we need and want in a way that honours ourselves and others. What is your relationship to change?
