21.01.2022 We want it done for us. The seven steps, the quick fix, the magic pill. Someone to not just tell us what to do or how to do it, but to actually do it for us. We just want it to be easy. But often it isn’t. We have to participate in our own healing. We have to show up. Do the work. Feel the pain. With as much grit and grace as we can find.... Affirmation I do what it takes to heal.

19.01.2022 When we eat well, it can be the fuel we need to support us on our quest for living a good life. When our nutrition is not so healthy, it can completely undo us and leave us feeling like bingeing on Netflix instead of following our dreams. You are an individual so what you need to eat to thrive is also individual. But there are some common themes that we can probably agree on that we could all incorporate into our daily life. Eat whole foods from nature, not food that is proce...ssed; eat seasonal and farm fresh, where possible; eat your greens with every single meal; drink water; cut out the white stuff in the form of white sugar, flour, rice, starches; limit the amount of meat you eat and increase your intake of plant-based foods (you don’t have to cut meat out altogether, just eat plants whenever possible); moderate your alcohol; remove or limit dairy; get rid of your vices. Be mindful about what you are putting into your body and start to view food as fuel, not simply pleasure. Your body will thank you for it. Affirmation I fuel my body with nourishment.

16.01.2022 Do you currently get seven to eight hours of sleep a night? If you have little ones at home, are caring for someone, or are working the night shift, you get a pass on this one. But for the rest of us, we really do need to make sleep a priority. If you struggle with getting to sleep or staying asleep, I feel for you I have used all the excuses in the book, as I used to live on a lot less than I do now. I was always too busy working or thinking about working. But after many y...ears of research into the science of sleep, the conclusions are irrefutable you need your sleep to function like a good human, and it’s essential to your overall wellbeing and vitality. There are some things that can really help in the sleep department. Set yourself an evening routine to help you wind down from the busyness of your day. Give yourself a curfew for work, email, television, social media and anything that stimulates you and amps up your cortisol and adrenalin levels. Count back from when you need to get up, so you know what time you need to go to sleep to get your (ideally) eight hours in. Then, the bedtime routine. It could be some gentle yoga, a brief meditation, some light reading, reflection, journaling time, a lovely cup of relaxing tea like chamomile, some calming essential oils like lavender, and perhaps a gratitude practice or whatever else calms and relaxes you. It doesn’t need to be long even 15 minutes is enough to help you switch off and wind down but the break in your behavioural pattern from these practices will signal to your mind and body that it’s time for sleep, not action. After that, lights out. Sleep really is the best path to restoration, having more energy, a greater sense of happiness and just feeling good. It’s also one of our most essential coping mechanisms. Giving yourself the gift of sleep. Affirmation My sleep restores me on every level.
