Today we discuss the value and importance of being true to your word and how we ever so slightly change the truth and the impact that may have on our lives and authenticity. 

In some way we all do this for many different reasons and can root from past experiences that lead to people pleasing, fear of failure and how we want to be seen by others. 
We encourage you today to be true to you and challenge yourself to have the awareness around this topic and ask yourself why, and explore what comes up.

There is a powerfully humble practice that comes with practicing and being true to your word. We hope you enjoy this topic and are able to have some authentic dialogue with yourself as well as others. 

Today we talk about the power of Self Worth and how that bleeds into almost every single area of our lives and especially our self care.

What are some beliefs or stories that you still identify with that don't allow your self worth to grow? How can we connect to our authenticity genuinely while creating a strong foundation of self trust, which then creates a strong sense of discernment and self worth. 

Self care can be multi dimensional so take time to sit, reflect and listen to how you are treating yourself internally, and how you want to grow that relationship with your body and mind. 

This is a great topic in regards to self-care because healing therapies can bring so much balance to your practices.

Today we want to tune in to the power of touch and all things healing. There are so many amazing therpaies out there and many people may not realise how great it can help your wellness by adding these into your day, week or month.

Have you ever noticed how when someone is sad or not well we are drawn to give them a hug or put our hand on their shoulder? Even to people we don't know that well. It is part of us that can give comfort to others and bring about a real sense of helping.  This is the unspoken language of healing.

We discuss many ways you can help yourself heal through natural therapies and the benefits for being open to giving them ago. Something so simple but so very rewarding for your health.

Welcome Back! Today is all about Celebrating, and we chose this because we literally are celebrating our 50th episode here at the Press Pause Podcast.
We could easily carry on and perhaps wait for our 100th episode but why? when we can celebrate right NOW.

This is our message and as simple as it sounds it can be the difference weather you succeed or give up. How do you celebrate along the way?
It can be as little as a high five, or as big as buying yourself a trip away somewhere you've always wanted to go, whatever you choose, it's just as important as the goal itself. 

If we are really wanting long term results we must celebrate to keep it fun, keep us motivated and it actually helps us achieve even more when we stop to reflect and acknowledge ourselves and efforts.

What can you celebrate today? 

Todays topic is something we feel is one of the most important things when it comes to creating long-term self-care for yourself.

Have you ever felt like you're in a boat going down stream with no awes to steer yourself in a specific direction?

Today we explore the power of tuning in. What does tuning in mean? Have you ever had a gut feeling or intuition play out where it came true? This is one level of what we discuss today.

We all know nature is the world greatest teacher, healer and provides everything we needs to survive, yet somehow we can forget to integrate with nature everyday and take advantage of these free healing benefits.

Do you stretch your body? Do you stretch before a workout? After a workout? or perhaps first thing in the morning? or perhaps never?

Why do people stretch?

In today's episode we want to unravel the reason why stretching has such significant benefit short and long term, as well as how to get your journey started.

Stretching plays a huge role in in many factors of self care, starting with stress management, blood circulation, aches and pains and can determine how you feel in your later years of life.

In this episode we discuss how beliefs play a role in our health and wellbeing. Whether it's things we believe about ourselves, the world around us and how you can use this incredible power to your advantage.

Beliefs are the root cause of so many of our manifestations, results and patterns that show up in all areas of our lives. Are they serving you? Are you really getting the results and growth that you desire?

Perhaps today you take a deep look within and feel into your own beliefs, and use the self care tools that works best for you to get really clear and aware of what they are.

Make sure you aren't limiting yourself with your beliefs, and instead remain open to growing and learning with understanding around many types of beliefs.

We have attached a great book below called the Biology of Belief By Bruce Lipton which can be a great listen and place to start to dive into this topic.

Have you ever meditated, wanted to meditate or wondered where to start around the topic of meditation?

Today we discuss the variety of ways you can engage with meditation, why we do it and what is the ultimate goal around what it means to meditate.

We like to help you find your way of doing things at the press pause podcast and what suits your self care journey. Mediation can be just as unique and personal as what you eat for breakfast or how you choose to exercise and when.

Join us as we chat about the variety of ways you can still the mind and create more awareness of self and thoughts to allow yourself to have more power than the thoughts itself, rather than feeling pressured to empty all thoughts completely.

Again as we always say, there's no right or wrong, find what works for you as you start with what is simple, doable and what resonates with where you are right now in the present moment.

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.

Can you possibly be your own healer from home? Absolutely!

Today we give you simple secrets from our own cupboards and self care tool kits to get you thinking outside the box and becoming your own at home Doc.

A lot of us put our trust, dependancy and aid in others and there is nothing wrong with this, what we want to emphasize is the amount of power you have in your own hands, backyard and kitchen that can truly help you overcome many minor issues before they get beyond your control.

Press play and pause with us today as we unpack the many ways, ideas and methods to create the ultimate self care kit, helping you take your power back and to be responsible for your health from home.

How do you maintain self care while travelling?

In this episode we discuss all things Self Care while traveling. How we look after ourselves, what we can pack in our tool kit, and how we can accept that our self care and day to day habits may change and that's ok.

Travel can be very stressful but it doesn't have to be. Join us as we share our tips, tricks and secrets to get you on your journey with joy and a little more comfort.

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.

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.

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.

Today is a carry on from last weeks conversation on seasons with a slight shift in focus.

Today we look at the change in the Earth Seasons, Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring and how the different times of the year can play a big role in how we look after ourselves.

Different seasons allow us to adapt and change to the enviroment and we talk about some ways to shift your focus from one season to another while learning more about your body and what it needs.

Knowing it is ok to change what you do and discover how earth seasons can guide us is such an opportunity of growth within and help establlish good healthy practices to support our ongoing changing journey.

We encourgae you to look at what you do from season to season and what practices work well through each season and maybe some areas that need to shift.
