Try these 4 things to bring more joy to your life

Leave a comment

Here are 4 things to try doing less of, to get more joy from your life!

  • Less saying, ‘yes’ to everything, more protecting your own boundaries
  • Less worrying about what others think, more staying in your power
  • Less seeing self care as selfish, more seeing self care as a necessity
  • Less denying yourself your true desires, more belief in the possibilities

Which one hits home the most for you?

Change can be just one intentional action away.
One ‘no, thats not what I want to do today’,
One reframe around ignoring that nagging inner voice around others’ perceptions,
One positive statement to yourself about why you deserve that *insert self care activity here*, or
One moment of dreaming up all of the possibilities.

If you need support in putting these into practice so that you can find more joy in your life, click here to see the ways I can support you.

My upcoming ‘Activating Authentic Authority’© program is designed to support you through implementing these changes, with the support of a group of likeminded people who will be experiencing similar changes along the way. Over 8 weeks, we will shift any feelings of being stuck, lost, unworthy, or disempowered, to building your confidence to shine your light and show up as your unique expression! Give yourself the space to get clear on the who, what and why of you, reclaim your life.

If you’re currently in a place where your friendship circle or job or business is no longer aligning with you… you are not alone!
This is completely normal when you are either already growing and evolving or you are ready to grow and evolve.
I have experienced this feeling many times before and I’m here to tell you that it will be okay. It will all work out.
Your life will turn out better than you can imagine!

  • You can have a beautiful tribe or circle that supports you and accepts you exactly as you are

It starts with creating the space to work out who you authentically are, what supports that in your life, and what it is you truly want!

Whilst this might feel scary, the braver you are to take the first steps towards change, the greater the benefits will be.

Journaling tips to get you started!

2 Comments

Like the idea of journaling but struggle to get started?
These tips are for you!

  1. Take the pressure off yourself. Your journal is for you and only you. It is not being presented to or judged by anyone else… Nor is anyone keeping tabs on how often you’re journaling or for how long.
  2. Create a space that inspires you to write and reflect. This might be as simple as some quiet alone time, relaxed on the lounge, or you might choose to set up a dedicated writing space. You might also like to take a notebook down to the beach or a park. Again, this will be something unique to you, & what space you can create.
  3. Start small. Just noting down one sentence about how you’re feeling or about something that has happened, or noting down the answer to one question can get the flow going. Pick a topic that you want to write about, it can be anything!
  4. Don’t give up. Keep experimenting until you find what works for you! Try morning, try night, try different settings. Your journal doesn’t even need words. If you’re not feeling the words and are more comfortable drawing, or scrapbooking, then explore and reflect this way!

The Rock

Leave a comment

You are the rock,
Solid and stable
You are the rock,
Strong and able
You are the rock,
Brave and bold
You are the rock,
Power you hold

But should you be left unprotected for long,
Is there not a chance, you will get weathered and worn?

How are you preserving yourself?
What protection mechanisms do you have in place?

If you’re like me, and you are the rock in your family, and your relationship, and your work, or one of these or any other area of your life, this is your reminder that you still need protection. You still need some sheltering or nurturing, for too much weathering of storms can lead to erosion.

How are you looking after yourself to prevent the wearing out or burning out that comes with being the rock in all aspect of your life for a long period of time?
Is that how you really want to show up?
Who can you or do you turn to for protection? For the occasional sheltering from the elements?

We can only be the rock for so long.
It is not failing to ask for help or support,
To need a break from being the rock all the time.
Taking time to nurture yourself, will only empower you to stand stronger and to weather the storms when those time arise.

How can you or do you create some space for yourself to have that much needed reprieve?

I’d love to know if this resonates with you 💛

Adding Value

Leave a comment

Over the weekend hubby & I watched a couple of documentaries, & one of those was on the minimalist lifestyle. It offered great perspective & gave lots of food for thought, but one thing that really resonated with me was the idea that we bring all these ‘things’ into our life without questioning them, & whether they’re adding value to our lives or not.

What I loved about this idea, & this simplicity in questioning, is that it doesn’t just stop at material ‘things’, it can be applied to just about anything in our lives, from the food we eat, the relationships we keep, the thoughts we have, etc.

Over the past week, I’ve found myself questioning how I use my time on my phone on social media for example. I’m questioning, why I’m picking up my phone or pressing the home button to light up the screen?
What is it that I’m seeking from it?
What do I feel is lacking?
Is all my time on social media adding value to my life?
Where does the value lie?
I’m asking these questions, not because I see no value, as this is not the case, but rather to question the value vs the time spent so that I can be more purposeful with my time.

Today, these thoughts extended to my email accounts. I took a quick look through my emails & questioned what value they were adding to my life?
Do I need to receive multiple emails a week (sometimes a day) full of all these ‘things’ that I don’t need right now & wont be buying? When for me, I know that I will do my research when it comes time to buy something.
Are all these emails just adding to my list of things to do (cleaning out the inbox) & creating clutter in my online space?
Needless to say, I’ve now unsubscribed from over 20 mailing lists, & will continue this as different emails come through.

These are just a couple of examples where I’m choosing to question how things are adding value so that I am more in alignment with my purpose & where & how I want to be expending my energy.

What is something that you’ve never thought to question in your life?
Why you have it?
Why you use it?
Why you need it?
Why you give away your energy to it?

And what are some things that really add value to your life?
