Ep 40: Comparing with others

Today we chat about a topic that many of us do daily and it really impacts our self-care on many levels. Comparing ourselves to others and making it mean something more than we should.

We are all individual and how we look after ourselves is completely different so when we start to compare ourselves to others it can really bring up alot of background stuff that changes how we act, what we do and how we think not only about ourselves but our lives.

It can have a positive vibe to help motivate us at times but today we chat about different ways we can shift our awareness to how it is impacting your life and why it is important to reflect on.

Ep 37: Stress

Join us today as we chat about the power of acceptance.

How do you manage stress?

Stress is a natural and very normal process in the body, not to mention a little bit of stress is actually good for us!

So how can we be more aware when we have too much stress in our life creating much more damage than we realise long term.

It can be something we can become numb to and very easily feel quite normal while being hard to discern because it could be happening every single day.

We are here to share with you that this doesn't have to be the case. You can experience stress and find many ways to manage it, shift it, and use it to your advantage. If we don't learn how to do these things over time, it doesn't matter how well you look after yourself, stress can be the one blindspot that flushes all your self care hard work down drain.

Ep 36: Power Of Acceptance

Join us today as we chat about the power of acceptance.

How we relate to situations in life and how we accept the things that happen or are happening around us is an important part of self-care and self-love. Some things are out of our control and learning the power of accepting what is and not allowing it to have a strong hold over us allows more ease to show in our system and in our life.

Seeing circumstances for what they are and not allowing it to become bigger than us plays a big role in our health journey and long term results.

Learning skills and having an awareness around claiming power back and accepting things that are happening helps to unhook ourselves from getting drawn into a space that isn't allowing us to move forward.

We would love you to join us to bring more awareness around areas in your life that you can claim back some power by accepting what is.

Ep 35: Growth Mindset

How do you approach situations, circumstances or outcomes? Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?

In this episode we break down the difference between what a growth and fixed mindset is, and how we can get the most out of being able to learn and grow when we feel stuck or perhaps things aren't going our way, as opposed to letting it determine what we are capable of.

Applying a growth mindset can make all the difference when we have big dreams, goals, and or even little ideas on our journey towards the best version of ourselves.

Ep 33: Life Seasons

In this episode we discuss the seasons of life and how our self care is affected by what might may be happening around and or within us.

We are always in a season, the important thing to remember is to be aware of it so you can make the most of it and use it to your advantage.

It's important to not over think this and compare yourself to others, but tune in to your body and timeline in order for you to honour it as an opportunity for growth.

There are so many seasons of life that we get to experience, we encourage you to enquire what season you may be in so you don't beat yourself up if your self care takes a step back or feel guilty if you start prioritising more self care as a response.

Seasons are unique and so should be your response to them. Not paying attention to them could result in burn out or a feeling of imbalance and dis ease.

We hope you take away a personal insight into not just doing what you have to get done in life, but adapting to the bigger picture of your own personal needs and desires to make room for life and it's beautiful seasonal changes.

Ep 29: Overcoming Challenges

Everyday challenges can play a big part in holding us back from looking after ourselves in a way that really serves us.

Today we chat about the importance of recognising these challenges and being present to what impact they are having on our self-care practices. It is then we can prioritise what needs to be done and learn ways to recognise challenges when they pop up. It may be from the shiny distractions that pull us away from doing what we know we should be doing to help look after ourselves or life challenges that pop up and need our attention.

Bringing more awareness to our goals, what we want to achieve and putting some things into practice, these chaellenges when they show themselves, don't have the same power over us as we can learn to focus our attention where it is needed and build inner resources to cope with them.

We want you to most importantly understand that the boundaries you set are the ultimate keys to creating quality of life.

Ep 26: Boundaries Part 1

What are Boundaries? How do we set them, and why are they important?

Self Care is about balance and to achieve balance it's important to know (or at least have an understanding) how much of ourselves we give towards particular environments, people, careers, seasons, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Put simply, how you spend your time. How to manage your cup.

In this episode we discuss how a boundary works, what they look like and how they shape the foundations of our lives. If you're not entirely sure of your boundaries, take a look around, you may surprise yourself and have some already in place.

Gently take a step back and feel into where you might be over giving, pleasing, or pouring. Draw a line in areas that require less or more of you, and discover how life unfolds in your favour.

We want to encourage you to find the quiet moments, before your schedule begins or anyone needs anything from you. You'll be surprised the ripple affect that occurs for the rest of the day when you're not pouring from an empty cup.

Ep 24: Inspiration

Do you actively, consciously, and deliberately check in on how much inspiration fulfills your life?

When was the last time you truly felt inspired? Why is it important to create environments that birth inspiration? Inspiration can be the fuel for so many incredible achievements and goals.

Without inspiration how can we truly have long-lasting motivation and results for ourselves? The reason why having a "Why" behind your goals or aspirations is because the root of the bigger picture is within that why, what matters most.

We encourage you to allow yourself to feel inspired and go after what inspires you, to bring happiness into your life, and to feel alive!

You can connect with us via our websites or social media platforms.
