Our bodies are such amazing creations and our health is a gift for us to cherish every day. Have you ever thought about how you can support the 5 key elements of your health?
Well on this video, I talk about ways to give yourself targeted support for the 5 key areas of your health, and suggest steps you can take towards more well-rounded health and more balance in your health. I just want to feel well, and be balanced. How about you?
I’m sending my light and my love to my first 100 followers! Thank you and I appreciate you!
To my fellow entrepreneurs, creators, bloggers and everyone who has the courage to step out and share their message, as best as they can, I salute you all!
It feels good to share my message through writing and videos and I am a work in progress! We fail and fall down, but that’s all part of our success journey isn’t it?
Thank you for doing what you do. Abundance in the Universe is Infinite. There is unlimited abundance for us all. So step out and create, write, blog, vlog and shine your light, in whatever small way you can. It’s fun, and because, you’re giving your talents with love, more and more goodness will flow your way.
There are so many great webinars and learning materials out there on how to create your life vision. Maybe after this period many people are calling the ‘Great Reset’, you feel you have changed, or your life has changed, or perhaps you just have a fresh outlook on life. It may be a good time to look again.
What a great way to start framing your life vision with these questions taken from the amazing author and success coach Brendon Burchard. I love his work and his mission. I got excited about these questions and just had to share. Enjoy!
If you’re into journalling like me, you’ll find these questions a very rich source of introspection and helpful in discerning your way forward in life. I had a revealing experience, which actually was so rich that I had to take a break and come back to it a few times.
What no meat???
So I became a vegan in September 2020, and it’s been a great 5 months so far. I think my body has adjusted to a plant-based eating pattern without too many dramas, or longings for fish or seafood.
It has been interesting learning to re-educate myself as to what could be more go-to sources of protein now that fish, meat, chicken and eggs are off the table.
In this video I share my excitement at discovering that there is a plethora of protein sources in vegan friendly food.
Are you a newbie vegan like me? More established on your vegan journey? I’d love to hear from you!
Have you been listening to your body?
Do you ever wonder whether your body is giving you all the signs and alarm bells but maybe you’ve not seen or heard them because you’re just not paying attention? You’re too busy?
Speaking for my fellow Entrepreneurs, I think it’s fair to say that in our quest to produce value and content for our audience and customers, in addition to our existing commitments, we’re not always the best at taking time out, or listening to our bodies and having some ‘non-work’ time to just stop, be still and switch off.
Would that be fair to say?
Sometimes we’re forced to stop and listen to our bodies due to illness, and then it’s like we have a valid reason to take some time off right?
Yeah, that used to be me. Waiting until my body forces me to stop before I do anything. Now I try to be more responsive to my body, but also making time for self-care. I am a work in progress!
On this video, I share ‘6 Signs You May Have Burnout’, as a way to start the conversation and get us all thinking what we can do ( or do less of) to avoid reaching that awful point of ‘Burnout’.
How on earth can I start to address my career in the middle of such uncertainty and chaos? Yes you may be thinking this along with millions of other good people like you. Well, you’ve gotta start somewhere right? The worst thing would be to get stuck in the ‘freeze’ zone and not move forward at all. The earth keeps spinning whether you are having an extended ‘duvet day/week/month/year’ or not.
So here are a few tips to start the conversation and perhaps get you back into your groove again.
As we are spending more time indoors during this period of lockdown, we are hearing much talk about the importance of Vitamin D. On this video I share some information that I found interesting:
Sometimes it can be a little daunting embarking upon the task of Goal-Setting. Maybe it’s an alien concept to you, or maybe you’re an old hand! There’s so much great material out there on goals so we have no excuse! Goals are important for us to have in all areas of life, not just in business.
Here I share a general approach and some top tips that have helped me set my goals, and some teaching from an awesome success coach that I follow.
Fear and his well known partner Doubt, are militant and rife, on a mission to wreak havoc and secretly collaborate with us to sabotage our new goals and projects. However, Fear can be minimised and rendered less effective when you know how, and have the tools.
I love the iconic book, Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway, by Susan Jeffers, and she helpfully leaves us with some bite size chunks of knowledge to take away from her book. She summarises what she calls the 5 Truths about Fear which I take you through in the video. Great ammunition for us all, on our journey to achieve our goals this year.
It’s New Year’s Eve. I’m in my favourite hoodie-pyjama combo, my new 2020 WFH look (apparently); dinner’s in the oven, one of my favourite vegan pies; and I’m enjoying a second glass of Prosecco (yes it’s 9pm so that’s allowed); whilst singing at the top of my voice to ‘Lonely Stranger’ by Eric Clapton (OMGoodness I love this song! Sorry neighbours, yes I know the CD is on repeat, but I’ve been such a good quiet neighbour; at least wait until track 6 ‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out’ until you start thinking about knocking at my door!) Anyway……… I’m feeling all this creativity bubbling up and just felt the need to write. So the oven timer has 25 minutes left so here goes…….
If I had to describe 2020 in one or two words, I would say it’s been character-building. Character-Building.
So many people seem to have nothing but negative things to focus on and recollect, but that just doesn’t sit well with me. We have all lost something, or someone, in some way. Granted, losing a dear one to Covid is not in the same category as losing a boyfriend or girlfriend due to the realities of lockdown living, or losing the ability to feel the joy of spending time with others when you’re shielding as a ‘clinically extremely vulnerable person to Covid’. Isolation is challenging, and we’ve all had that in some small way.
However, I choose to see the joy in this character-building year. I see that I have been given some lessons to learn. I only hope that I have been a good student, and improved my life in some way because of this year.
If I could use a second/third word to describe 2020, it would be gratitude. Gratitude. OMGoodness! The overwhelming feeling of being carried, guided, protected and loved brings me to tears. I’m talking about His Presence. God. In the absence of anyone else in my isolation, any physical person, His Presence has been palpable, like a heart-beat, a warm blanket around me, a feeling, a throbbing hug; sometimes it feels like a big belly laugh that fills me with laughter and a deep down feeling of joy; joy amidst the lockdown; a silent joy amidst the gloom; a feeling of hope ahead.
I’m so grateful for my life. I love my life. Warts and all. It is a gift. As Jake Ducey says in this affirmation:
I hear the oven beeping, so dinner’s ready and it’s time for me to wrap up. Eric Clapton is on his second play and I’m ready for another Prosecco top up.
I look to 2021 with excitement and hope. I am a different person now, compared to 12 months ago. I think it is even more important now, to show up and be counted; share your message; share your gifts; reach out to others; spread the joy and love; be your authentic you as I am going to be, and anticipate good things for your future by entering into this new year with the right intention.
Can you set your intention now? How would you like your 2021 to be? Who are you going to be? What brings you joy? How can you contribute? What do you have to say? Whether you know it or not, you are blessed! You have so much to give! You have something to say! You are very powerful (provided you know just how powerful you are!) Don’t let any of that go to waste because of a pervading and continuous negative outlook on life, perpetuated by the media, and people who don’t understand the damage caused by their negative, draining state of mind and energy, who persist in rolling in it like pigs in mud.
I wish you a 2021 filled with joy, peace and much love. May you be filled with good things; all those things your heart desires; proclaim them and call them to you; don’t be afraid to say them out loud and most importantly, write them down. Start being that person that you know you can be, that you dream of being!
Sending you my light and my love.
Dinner time! (I’m easily pleased)
