25.01.2022 #LLOTS in the Amat Household... Just a little excited to share this article with everyone ! https://www.swtimes.com.au//home-schooling-unearths-talent...

24.01.2022 #Selfcare Today I would love to know what you going to do to satisfy your soul ? OFTEN WE ARE SO BUSY DOING WHAT WE FEEL NEEDS TO BE DONE THAT WE NEGLECT NURTURING OURSELVES FROM WITHIN... I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY. TRAVELLING A JOURNEY WHICH HAS TAKEN ME PLACES I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD GO WITH EXPERIENCES I DO NOT WISH TO REVISIT OR WISH ON ANYONE EITHER.... Experiences that have shown me, that I need to take more time for me as the continuous pushing is of no value now or in the future. When we are not coping emotionally we begin to suffer physically, with ailments and disorders that may not move on until we acknowledge the emotions that are connected to situations in this journey we are on... THIS IS WHY DOING THINGS TO SATISFY OUR SOUL IS OF SO MUCH VALUE. ITS ABOUT NURTURING YOU FROM DEEP WITHIN. ITS ABOUT BRINGING PEACE, HAPPINESS, JOY, LOVE AND HONOUR BACK INTO YOUR LIFE AS WHEN WE DO THIS WE THEN START TO SEE WAYS TO NURTURE OUR CHILDREN WHICH WE MAY HAVE NOT CONSIDER BEFORE. With this in mind, what is one thing you can do to nurture your soul this week ?

23.01.2022 Awesome followers I am keen to know how many of you see my posts. If you can comment below that would be greatly assist me in the decisions I make moving forward.

22.01.2022 When did you last compliment yourself ? Some days we need to stop and look in the mirror to honour the amazing person you see for who they are from deep within rather than the external image that everyone sees or the thoughts that sabotage who you are as you travel this journey. YOU ARE NO LESS THAN AMAZING AND TODAY I WANT YOU TO TAKE A COMPLIMENT THAT WILL HELP YOU TO FILL YOUR INNER BUCKET, AS WE ALL NEED TO HONOUR OURSELVES MORE TO GET THROUGH EACH DAY.... Now, to choose a compliment for you and then I would like you to choose one to give to someone else, to help fill their bucket too. This person may be in our group or another contact you have that you feel needs some extra nurturing... Which compliments will you choose ?

22.01.2022 #Wisdom When life gives you lemons, what do you do ? Do you become filled with unhealthy emotions that have no value or do you turn them into lemon meringue pie and savour the moment ? Many years ago you may recall a song by Meatloaf - 'Life is a lemon and I want my money back'. I have to say at that time this song resonated well with me. I had many things impact my world from a young age which influenced what I did, how I perceived the world and people that are in it. There ...were many regrets, a lot of anger and sadness as a lot of what happen I did not have control over but I did not understand this at the time. All I knew is that I did not like the brick walls I kept hitting, the mountains I had to climb, the doors being slammed in my face or the lemons the universe kindly shared with me... As years went by, my direction in life changed and I search for things that filled me with joy and gave me opportunities I started to see events in life from a whole new perspective. I began to understand that I could not control what others did or how they responded to things, what I could control is whether I responded or reacted to a situation. It was all up to me. If I wanted situations and events in my life to change I was the one that needed to change my perceptions. I had to learn how we could seek the good in bad situations. I had to learn that with every negative there came a positive. I had to learn that I did have the means to turn obstacles into opportunities if I really wanted. I had to learn that lemons did not have to remain sour for ever. In actual fact with the right ingredients they would make the most amazing lemon meringue pie to add sweetness to your life... It is a process that has taken time to work through and something I still reflect on and have to remind myself of too. It's easy to get caught up in our own thoughts, peoples situations and manifesting unhealthy emotions but those who are willing to dig deeper and go beyond their comfort zone will discover how much value their is when we change our perceptions. You will see the world in a different light and approach situations very differently. Most of all you will begin to see connections you can create to better assist your ASD child/ren and family... Life is an interesting journey and none of us know how long we will be here for, but what I do know is that there is so much more to life when we begin to manifest healthy emotions into our life. There is more to gain, see and enjoy for you as an individual, as a parent, as a partner and until you begin to dig deeper you will not find what you are really seeking

22.01.2022 #Manifesto Welcome to this awesome day and a new month where we can all gain from the amazing lives we have and the adventures we take, which is why I am sharing our Manifesto with you today... OUR MANIFESTO IS A GREAT WAY TO MANIFEST INSPIRATION INTO OUR DAY, WEEK OR YEAR AND TODAY I WOULD LOVE YOU TO READ THROUGH THE INSPIRATION IT SHARES WITH EACH ONE OF US.... Let me know which statement inspires or resonates with you and then stay tuned as I share more details about what value you can gain from each affirmation I share... #Inspiration #Quotes #Nurturing #Together

21.01.2022 #Thought When you have a flat tyre or you see someone with a flat tyre may it be a reminder to check in with how your attitude may be travelling, or you may end up in a similar situation... IS IT TIME FOR YOU TO CHANGE YOUR FLAT TYRE ?... A bad attitude gets us no where. In actual fact it holds us back from moving forward, where on the other hand a positive attitude not only changes your focus and direction, it changes the way people think in your surroundings. With a bad attitude we achieve nothing, no matter how much we may convince ourselves otherwise. In actual fact it often leads to us creating more issues than we already had as we are focusing on the negative and manifesting this, rather than embracing the positive. IS THAT TYRE LOOKING LIKE IT NEEDS A CHANGE ? Today I want you to take a really hard look at your attitude and if it is of value or do you need to change the flat tyre that is worn out for a new fresh look ?

20.01.2022 #Teachable OFTEN WE DESIRE TO GAIN #FREEDOM IN OUR LIFE ONLY WE HAVE FORGOTTEN ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR.... WHEN WE ALLOW OTHERS TO ANGER US WE ARE GIVING THEM #CONTROL OF OUR JOURNEY TOO... TO MAINTAIN OUR FREEDOM WE NEED TO FIND THE BALANCE IN WHEN WE LET GO OF THE CONTROL AND WHEN WE KEEP IT... Giving away our Control to others does not improve our situation or create more Freedom it often creates more unhealthy emotions like Anger intensifying, Guilt, Hatred and Resentment ju...st to name a few... You may not experience all of these but its likely you will experience at least one of them as we are human and emotions is how our decisions are often made... THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE NOT GIVE OUR CONTROL AWAY TO OTHERS ? It is all about learning what is important to you and why you are responding the way you do. Its about looking at your core beliefs that you have been taught and working out which ones are important to you now... Its about discovery the real you deep within by being open to experience new things... It's about being okay with changing your values to meet your needs rather than everyone elses... I WANT YOU TO TAKE A MOMENT TO IMAGINE HOW DIFFERENT YOUR JOURNEY WOULD BE IF YOU LEARNT TO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR CONTROL TO OTHERS... IMAGINE HAVING FREEDOM IN ALL THAT YOU DO, ALONG WITH PEACE AND TRANQUILITY FILLING YOUR INNER BUCKET AND SURROUNDING YOU. IMAGINE EMBRACING THIS JOURNEY IN A WAY YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE ? How different would life really be ?

19.01.2022 #FEELGOOD How is it that as parents you are always making sure your phone or tablet is charged as its a necessity in life to have access at any time of the day but when it comes to making sure you remain charged it doesn't matter ?... To feel good within can only happen when you make your selfcare a priority. Nurturing you is not selfish, it is what needs to happen in the best interest of your whole family. Running on empty, feeling fatigued, with continuous headaches, sore eyes, no appetite and feeding your addictions means you are only existing not living, which is a recipe for disaster... You can not continue on this path without consequences that usually happen without you realising, as that you do results in a new default pattern to cope with all that is happening. A pattern that you will rely on whenever you are not coping or the stress levels increase as this is how you have taught yourself to cope when really you aren't... Today I want you to ask yourself is this the life you really want ? Is this the life you wish to be living in 3 months, 6 months or even 12 months from now. If not, is it time for you to do something about manifesting those feel good emotions from within... No it's not easy to do as I have been there, but I can also share that it is worth every step you take to become a better person so that you can provide greater value for you and your family... IS IT TIME YOU TOOK A STEP TOWARDS MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR WELLBEING ?

18.01.2022 #OneThing Each day our life is filled with tasks to do and what we achieve is impacted by how we feel and what is happening around us in any given moment, often changing the outcome of our intentions quite easily. AT THE MOMENT THIS IS NO DIFFERENT TO PREVIOUSLY EVEN THOUGH OUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY HAVE CHANGED DUE TO COVID-19 AND WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN 'NORMAL' NO LONGER EXISTS AS THE PATH WE ARE ON IS NOW VERY DIFFERENT TO WHAT IT USED TO BE.... TO ASSIST WITH THIS WE NEED TO LEARN TO ADAPT OUR WAYS, BY CHANGING HOW WE DO THINGS, EXPECTATIONS OF OURSELVES AND IN A LOT CASES THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR CHILDREN WHILE THEY ADJUST TO ALL THAT IS HAPPENING IN THEIR WORLD. Which is why today I would love to know what is one thing you could do to embrace this coming week with ease and grace, to reduce the stress, frustration, obstacles you are experiencing to create productivity within your journey. Now to share your idea/s below...

15.01.2022 So excited to share our young man has officially sold his first piece of art to an awesome lady that has been part of his Discovery Journey...

15.01.2022 #LLOTS in the Amat Household ! Welcome to the Autism Roller Coaster Ride that has so many highs, lows, twists, turns and sudden stops that impact us daily. It's not a ride that many would choose but one that we have been blessed with, having children diagnosed with Autism. I always remember saying to people stop the world I want to get off until one day I really thought about it and realised to be honest I don't think I would really want to be on the outside looking in. At th...Continue reading

12.01.2022 #Wisdom As I sat here pondering what inspiration I may share today the words 'walk alone' came to mind which led me to find this quote to share as I feel it is so true for many of us who on this journey no matter what stage you may be at. The path we travel is not always how we envisioned it to be, but rather an adventure we have learnt to embrace. Its about knowing your limits and understanding that sometimes you will need to walk alone to gain the most value from the world ...that surrounds you... I know this may feel like one of the biggest obstacles when friends come and go but not everyone will stay with you on your journey as it is your journey and not theirs. The path we travel and how it looks to us is very different then it does to friends and connections and that's okay. As we move through life you will discover that there is value in all people who enter our lives and new people will enter our lives when the time is right for us to align with them... Throughout my journey I have had connections come and go for many reasons. Often I did not understand and felt broken at the time but the more self development I have done the more I have learnt to see that letting go was the best thing I could do for me and them. Trying to hold on to relationships due to the memories made has no value, as it only holds us back from moving forward to be best version of ourselves that we can be on this journey. It's about letting go of the ideals that we have created or been brought up to believe and often no longer exist. It's about accepting that life may be different to everyone else's but it does not mean we have to sabotage it by being stuck in our thoughts of things we want and can't have. Today take time to process that moving forward will involve letting go of how you wanted things to be so you can open doors to new opportunities. When you allow this to happen you will see your surrounds from a whole new perspective... Here's to finding peace from within...

07.01.2022 WHO'S LOST THEIR ZIPPITY ? Some days our zippity just disappears out the door and we spend the whole day feeling guilty about what we should be doing instead of embracing this opportunity. Yes you read right, as did you ever consider this is the universes way of slowing you down so you can nurture you and refuel your energy and inner bucket too... LIFE WITH OUR CHILDREN IS NON-STOP FOR MOST OF US AS IF ITS NOT PHYSICAL ITS THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WORK BEHIND WHAT IS HAPPENIN...G THAT TAKES ITS TOLL ON US. WHEN WE DON'T STOP LIKE WE SHOULD IT MEANS WE AREN'T LISTENING TO OUR BODY AND IN TIME OUR BODY WILL FIND A WAY TO SLOW US DOWN, WHICH CAN HAPPEN IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS DEPENDING ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE AT THAT TIME ... I feel sometimes it's a common occurrence that happens in our households and I am sure it is something you all resonate with well. The key is learning to listen to your body and take time out if that's what you need to do. I know it is easier said then done but the value you can gain goes beyond what you can often see on the surface. Today my zippity has run away and I am going to embrace it with ease and grace, without rushing, knowing what will be, will be. The chores that need to be done have been will happen when they happen and for the rest it can wait as I know the value in nurturing me is of greater value to ensure that I get through today and the rest of the week. NEXT TIME YOU LOSE YOUR ZIPPITY TAKE THE TIME TO UNWIND AS YOU OBVIOUSLY NEED IT TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR JOURNEY... BY DOING THIS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL GAIN FROM THE EXPERIENCE IN SO MANY WAYS. I UNDERSTAND ITS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EASILY BUT YOU NEED TO START SOMEWHERE AND TODAY IS A GOOD A DAY AS ANY TO BEGIN HONOURING YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO... For those who have lost your zippity I hope it returns soon. For those who have some extra, can you share it around and can everyone keep an eye out in case someones zippity passes by so you can send it on it's way back to it's rightful owner so we can all get through the week, as I know how much we struggle without motivation... HERE'S HOPING EVERYONE WHO HAS LOST THEIR ZIPPITY IN THEIR DO DAH DAY GAINS IT BACK SOON TO HELP YOU THROUGH TODAY...

04.01.2022 #LLOTS in the Amat Household... Hi all just dropping by to let you know I am still here. Life of recent has become more consuming with our young man resulting in me needing to redisperse my time. With him struggling in every day life, training a new Support Worker and doing our NDIS Review amongst the many other things that come with being a mum life has been crazy but I will be back to share more inspiration when things settle again.... 'Til then I hope all of you are keeping well and safe in these crazy times that we are experiencing throughout the world.
