If your choices and thoughts are geared towards others approval or what they might think this was once a survival response. Something you did to be accepted, approved of & perhaps even perceived to be how to obtain love. This then becomes a programme you run on, often described as just the way we are.

When we live our lives in this survival mode we limit our joy, our happiness, successes and abundance. These limitations crush our soul.

If this resonates with you please know there is another way. There is a life available to you where you dance to your song.

If making choices based on your wants & needs alone is alien could you begin with making a choice each day based solely in your opinion?
This could, for example, be choosing
🔸️What to wear
🔸️A new outfit
🔸️What to have for lunch or tea
🔸️ Where to book for a meal
🔸️Applying for the job you want

It may feel uncomfortable to begin with but little tiny action steps reap great rewards. Begin the process of trusting yourself ❤

I Love this!

Beliefs and Programmes

I talk alot about beliefs and programmes as they are what help to shape our reality.
A high proportion of our beliefs are formed within the first 7 years of our life, beliefs are most often formed through;
*Conditioning
*Learnt behaviour
*Experiences.

These beliefs then act as truths that we live by in the form of programmes aka auto pilot programmed responses and internal dialogue.

When you have a negative or self sabotage thought have you ever questioned where it came from? Do you ever doubt or reject them or accept them as truths?

When we have beliefs we will frequently look for evidence to justify them whilst often ignoring any evidence to the contrary and its all happening subconsciously.
This behaviour can keep us stuck within the walls of familiarity, conditioning and past experiences.

Beliefs and programmes impact every relationship we have including the one with ourselves. They impact how we think, feel, react to experiences and every decision we make.

Beliefs and programmes can be changed and quite often our happiness and wellbeing depends upon this change.

"Thoughts are not facts".

🧡 One to one sessions, our workshops and private Facebook group (link in bio) can all help with making those changes.

💚 Children's yogabears sessions coming soon to help give children strong foundations for self love and confidence.

Its a great week to love yourself with courage & intensity 💜

This quote really got me thinking, what am I prioritising.
What am I giving space to expand?

Is it action steps towards what I say I want or need.

Or are my priorities keeping me in cycles of repeated behaviour and thought I say I want to change.

We get to choose. What we prioritise is given space to expand.

Have a great day 🧡

Not everybody's Christmas is merry and bright and there will be lots of people experiencing emotional hangovers around this time. What is an emotional hangover?
Its the byproduct of big emotions which can be triggered by the following to name just a few:
*Grief
*Navigating strained relationships
*Missing somebody
*Expectations not being met
*Worry
*Mental health dips

Emotional hangovers can be at times debilitating in that the mental and physical symptoms share similarities with a alcohol hangovers such as headaches, anxiety, overwhelm and exhaustion.

My top tips for emotional hangovers are captured below. Take what you need, a pick & mix if you like:

1. Say yes to how you feel, your feelings are valid.
2. Get some fresh air. Fresh air can help with fresh perspectives.
3. Get a good night's sleep 7-8 hours if possible.
4. Avoid stimulants such a alcohol
5. Meditation in any form (guided, walking/nature observing or silent transcend).
6. Move your body, walk, dance, stretch or sweat.

Please know you're not alone, this is a human experience and it will pass. Be kind to you 🧡

You can't out-think feelings

How many times have you felt a certain way and then attempted to change how you feel through specific thoughts and were successful?

For many this approach will prove fruitless or temporary. If, for example, you focus on gratitude as a way to change feelings but it doesn't work (as in you're not immediately flooded with feelings of gratefulness) this sets us up to doubt the power of thought and if we are doing it "right".

In reality the average person has approx 41 thoughts per minute so whilst some thoughts may be intentional, the vast majority occur subconsciously. We are not consciously aware of a high proportion of our thoughts and they generally stem from:

* Stimuli
* Past experiences / memories
* Evidence gathering stories

The feelings we experience offers great insight into those subconscious thoughts.

How do we navigate this?

Accept how we feel, let go of resistance for it to be any other way.
Get curious about how you feel , feelings are body messengers.

All feelings are valid, there is no good or bad these are labels we assign to them.
When we accept how we feel and move through those feelings through acceptance, we give them permission to go as opposed to suppression. This process allows us to redirect our thoughts without the inner conflict of thoughts & feelings not in alignment.

My favourite way to do this is to say Yes! Yes to how you feel.

I'd love to know how you move through feelings.

How can we make the new week not like the old week?
By taking a step back, pausing, reflecting and then deciding if something actually warrants a response.
Your wellbeing depends on this approach, for every scenario we play in our heads our bodies prepare for battle which puts/keeps us in fight or flight.

Running around in fight or flight is scientifically proven to;
*Impair judgement
*Make us reactive
*Have a negative impact on our immune system
*Keep us replaying past experiences in an attempt to "keep us safe"
*Have physical and mental side effects such as anxiety, over thinking, hyper vigilance or zoning out etc.

How do we counter act this? Bringing our awareness to our breath, noticing the breath in and the breath out, deep exhalations and practising the pause.

"Breathe it in, let it out"

Its a great week to love yourself 🧡

We are presented with the choice to evolve or remain.

This is something nobody can do for you, only you can make this decision and carry it through.

Each day offers a new opportunity to take those little action steps towards evolve if we so choose to take them.

What are you choosing?

Its a great week to love yourself 🧡

When you honestly look at yourself how loving are you?

Do you love yourself?
Do you love people?
Do you love life?

If the answer is no my loving suggestion is to start with loving yourself and watch love grow ❤

The benefits of therapy can be far reaching and life changing in the most enpowering way.

Until we become aware of subconscious beliefs its not unusal to call them gut feelings.

What drives your decision making?

Its a great week to love yourself! 🧡

Evolve can help you to Rise Up.

Let's do this 🧡

Ain't that the truth.

Shame is something I have and still am working through, and having a safe space to talk and process these emotions has been key in accepting and loving myself.

It is reported that shame is the lowest vibrational energy, I would agree with this, carrying shame is heavy and can be all consuming.

What is shame?
Scientific findings say "Shame is the uncomfortable sensation we feel in the pit of our stomach when it seems we have no safe haven from the judging gaze of others. We feel small and bad about ourselves."

Whilst the emotion of shame may have been initially triggered by another's reaction or their beliefs its not usual for the source of ongoing critical judgement to come from ourselves.

You're not alone, we can lighten the load. You deserve to feel good about yourself.

Myself & my Monday night group contemplated what energy we are going to bring to November last night.
Given Dr Joe's theory that everything is energy or information it makes this personal pledge a great one to focus on.

What energy could you focus on and commit to this month? I'd love to know your thoughts 💜

I read this little beauty of a statement yesterday and wanted to share.

Another way to look at it is.......

Do you like the person you've become, do you like you?

Do you know when to stick or twist? And when you know do you do it?

Wellness Wednesday

Just because you've always done it, tolerated it or thought it, doesn't mean you have to stick with it if it doesn't make you feel good.

Having loyalty to or sticking with something that you have an innerstanding isn't good for you is likely a trauma response.

Good Morning

I have been quiet on here this last week and I am taking a little bit more time before beginning to post more frequently once again.

A social media break is just one example of giving yourself time to get clarity, refocus and channel your energy into what is a priority.

All sessions and workshops are completely unaffected and my dm's remain open as always.

Its a great week to love yourself 🧡

Big day in the Shallcross House!! A year 4 and year 2, time flies ❤

Back to school and there is an air of uncertainty for parents, in terms of what challenges await, how will schools handle ever changing guidance, will our children like their new classes, will school be enjoyable for them.
The only advice I have is to be kind to yourself and your little people, they are watching you for guidance ❤

Feelings are valid. If you are feeling emotion, it is valid because the emotion is real, you feel it.

The thought process (particularly if generated by a belief/programme) may not be factual or a little off kilter but the feelings are real.

Getting to know and reflect upon the relationship between your beliefs, thoughts and feelings is the gateway to understanding self.

Today could you check in with how you are feeling? As always this is done from a place of compassionate curiosity and not judgement.

Its a great week to love yourself 🧡
