The Way Out Of Our Struggles Is Through Accepting Them For What They Are In The First Place I've found over the years of my own emotional healing journey, as well as when guiding others on theirs, that being in resistance to what is showing up in our Iives is often the very stumbling block that will stop us from being able to make progress and see the changes that we are hoping for long term. So in moments of self doubt, when your inner critic is shouting abuse at you again, you feel like you're not making progress, are not good enough, or maybe even struggle to find your why for getting up in the morning, remember that healing is a not a linear path and therefore it's normal to default to those lower states of being from time to time as we try to explore and understand our psyche and emotional makeup better. But I also firmly believe that sometimes the key to overcoming those difficult moments lies in showing that wounded and doubtful part of yourself a lot of love and compassion for feeling the way you do, rather then trying to problem solve your way to feeling better straight away. Because as the saying goes - what we resist persists. How can you show your discouraged and doubting self some love and encouragement on your healing journey? #holisticnutritionist# #psychologyofeatingcoach# #bettermoodsolutions# #burnoutsolutions# #chronicfatiguesolutions#

Are You Childish Or Childlike? A slightly different than normal post from me today, just to get you thinking about the importance of cultivating joy in our lives. Who else thinks that welcoming simple joys and pleasures into their lives, as well as keeping their inner child alive and well, are some of the keys to slowing down the passage of time and enjoying the best possible physical and emotional health and wellbeing? 😊 I value joy so much that I have included it as guidance in one of the health coaching cards from the beautiful Reclaim Your Radiance deck I wrote and designed 2 years ago.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique And How Does It Fit In The Reclaim Your Radiance Method I Have Developed? 🔑 You may have seen some of my previous posts describing the method I developed and work with called Reclaim Your Radiance, which comprises of: - nutritional therapy - dynamic eating psychology principles - lifestyle modification - mindfulness coaching - EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Today, I would like to shed some light on EFT, as I feel it's a modality which many of you may not be familiar with, even though it can be an amazingly effective, quick, and safe method to use for a number of instances where our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings might be affecting our physical and mental health in negative ways. EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a powerful mind-body healing technique that combines elements of modern psychology and ancient acupressure principles. It involves gently tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on the issue or emotion you want to address. This simple yet profound practice can help you release emotional blockages, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote a profound sense of calm and clarity. As part of the Reclaim Your Radiance Method, I integrate EFT alongside other holistic modalities to provide a comprehensive approach to your well-being. By addressing the emotional root causes of physical and mental challenges, EFT can be a game-changer in your journey toward reclaiming your radiance from the inside out. Don't let negative emotions hold you back any longer. Embrace the transformative power of EFT and unlock your full potential, radiating confidence, energy, and inner peace. But don’t just take my word for it. A stressed-out friend who works in sales had an emergency online EFT session with me a week ago after a particularly horrible day at work that resulted in temporary loss of his confidence, massive anxiety, a nagging headache, stiff neck and a really low mood, and the testimonial underneath was the feedback I had from him the following day. By the end of our tapping session both the headache and neck ache eased off significantly and he also reported feeling better about himself and his abilities again. If you would like to know more about my work and how it might benefit your health, both on physical and emotional levels, why not arrange a complimentary 30 minute Zoom discovery session with me. We will chat about your most burning health problem and brainstorm the ways in which you could start addressing it. I am really looking forward to being of service to you! #EFT #EmotionalFreedomTechniques #ReclaimYourRadiance #HolisticHealth #MindBodyHealing #EmotionalWellness #StressRelief #Mindfulness #WomenEmpowerment

One thing I’ve noticed on this platform is much of your content is better and more engaging than those influencers with massive reach. Your content reaches your X number of followers The biggest influencers are not interested in thinking about what to post next. So what’s their secret? They share amazing content with their circle ⭕️ The content creator loves the fact their content gets a 10x boost and the influencer never runs out of ideas. They then get a team to scrape the landscape finding, not creating content! Now they have Ai tools that can do that faster and even more efficiently while you rack your brains for hours on what your network might enjoy.

What is THE most important tool when it comes to delivering an effective public speaking talk? Well, let me start by telling you what it is not... - It's not your qualifications - It's not your experience - It's not your story (believe it or not) - It's not talking and walking like a Ted-X robot - It's not your accolades or awards - It's not your Rolex watch or how expensive your shoes are - It's not the correct use of your diaphragm to properly project - It's not your body language - It's not scanning the room in a Z pattern over the top of people's heads so you're not actually looking at people, but to them it feels like you are... The most powerful tool a speaker has in his or her arsenal is the power of CONNECTION. Whether you're doing a 5 minute, 15 minute, or 45 minute speech, if you don't make your audience FEEL from the moment you're on that stage then it doesn't matter what you have to say, it just won't land the same. Well how do we build connection from the outset you ask?? Here's a few things to think about... 1. Don't change your accent to sound a bit more professional or corporate. If you're a Mancunian - Let that northern loveliness out! Throw in some slang or 'colloquial language' (if you remember your Year 9 English class) to show people who you really are. If you're from Liverpool, let it rip! If you're from Scotland... Well, maybe forget all of the above so people can understand at least some of your speech. 2. Our clothes introduce us before we even open our mouths, be you, be comfortable. If you wear some quirky garments don't dull down your outfit. If you spend your life in gym clothes for the comfort don't pull out your old prom suit just because you've got a hot speaking gig coming up. 3. If you're absolutely shitting yourself because this is the first time you've ever stood up and spoken to an audience, be real... TELL THEM! 4. People love to laugh... make them. I personally have a very dry sense of humour and have multiple dad jokes strategically placed through-out my talk. Again, it's the humour that I LOVE. I'm being myself, even in humour. 5. Create seeming unique points of synergy between you and your audience. Whether it's the fact you had 2 dogs and a cat growing up, or that your Mum is called Brenda, or that you eat the filling of your cheesecake first then the biscuit separately, weave in parts of you and your life into your talk. If people share just a few of these, it will feel like you're talking directly to them. The best version of you on stage is the version of you that is most authentic, that isn't trying to be someone different now that spotlight is hitting your face. YOU do YOU best. Don't forget it!

Today I helped my client to take a closer look at her thoughts about her partner's ability to handle a problem. ‘He can’t cope’ ‘He shuts down on me’ ‘He doesn’t care’ ‘He’s not doing what he needs to do to sort this’ ‘I have to do everything’ ‘It’s all on me’ When I asked her how she was feeling she broke down in tears. So much of what she was saying about her partner applied to her too. When we took a look at her thoughts they were mainly fears for the future. Under pressure it’s normal to doubt your partner and fear they won’t step up. You may have had experiences in your life where people didn’t show up when they were supposed to. But you might not have. Because regardless of your experiences this is a normal reaction to stress and pressure. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻❓ Learn how to catch that you’re doing this and then communicate to your partner your feelings and your fears. ‘I'm scared, stressed, overwhelmed’. Then describe the situation, not your partner. ‘There is all this to be sorted out and I can’t relax until it’s done.’ ‘Can you help me?’ When you describe how you are feeling and what you need to feel better and then ask for help. You’ll be amazed at the difference in the response you get. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.

For #mentalhealthawarenessweek it has been all about movement, but for Day 5, improving your #mentalhealth its not all about getting up and getting out. You have to do what’s right for you, its not a one size fits all. So today we are looking at other ways of improving your mental health and #selfcare There are many different ways that you can improve your mental health. For example: . Spending time with friends or family – Spending some quality time with those around you can give your mental health a huge boost! . Listening to music – Music is an amazing way to relax and focus on yourself. Plus, you can choose what to listen to and what makes you happy. . Play videogames – Sometimes all you need is a little break from reality and escape the day to do and do some epic quests! . Vist the Park – Just sit on a bench in the park and listen, see, and smell the world around you. Its beautiful in every way. Enjoy it! . Watch television – Sometimes just getting invested in the latest Rom-Com or serial drama can improve your mood dramatically. Also, it gives for a great time to socialise with those around you. Mental Health isn’t a one solution stick, and it can come in many different forms for many different people so what really matters is what is best for you. Whether it be go out for a walk, exercise or simply relaxing at home. Do what ever is best for you. Not what people tell you is best for you!

When the skies are grey outside, the temperatures are starting to drop rapidly and summer time seems just like a distant and long forgotten memory, some of us might start noticing the signs of SAD - otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern and is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter. Symptoms of SAD can include: - a persistent low mood - a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities - irritability - feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness - feeling lethargic and sleepy during the day - sleeping for longer than normal and finding it hard to get up in the morning - craving carbohydrates and gaining weight - difficulty concentrating - decreased sex drive From the holistic point of view, some of the strategies that seem to work really well to help minimise or eliminate the impact of SAD on our lives are: - spending some time outside in the mornings and / or light therapy - adequate vitamin D consumption - maintaining as positive mindset as possible by using various mindfulness tools and practices - planning pleasurable activities into our days If you haven't checked it out already, my free e-book called "Radiant Spa Boost In a Day" might be just the ticket for a bit of holistic pampering and rebalancing on a miserable rainy day. Inside there you will find: - delicious and nutritionally balanced recipes - mindfulness practices - suggestions for embodiment practices - some simple home made beauty recipes But don't just take my word for it - listen to what my past client Delia had to say about it. And don't put off looking after your emotional well-being any longer. You deserve that time out to replenish and rejuvenate yourself. And once you take that first step on the road back to more radiant health, you will be really glad that you did.
