Hello October 🤩new month with new goals

September was pretty special
🫶10 year wedding anniversary
🫶Sophie's 9th birthday
🫶Ibiza yoga holiday
🫶lots of fun days & evenings with friends

Now it's time to turn inward, slow down , take time for myself, nourish & mind myself. Unfortunately I'm still having a lot of back pain & a recent mri has shown some new issues with the disc above the one I had surgery on. I am going to have to review how I'm working over the next few months, my body needs to heal, even though I'm doing regular walking, Pilates & physio I feel like my beloved work is aggravating my spine & I know this because new issues are presenting that were not there last year. This means I'll have to lower down the amount of people I see , to see if this will allow me less time sitting & more time to focus on my rehab. As you can imagine it's incredibly frustrating, I found a job that I adore, with the best most amazing & supportive clients. I'm going to play around a bit with my hours /times for Nov/Dec as October is pretty much full. Thank you as always for understanding 👻🎃

2️⃣ Prioritize Self-Care: Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as taking baths, reading a book, or going for a walk in nature. Remember, taking care of yourself is crucial for maintaining mental and emotional well-being.

3️⃣ Establish Boundaries: Learn to say no when you feel overwhelmed.Setting boundaries will allow you to protect your time and energy, ensuring that you have enough resources to focus on what truly matters.

4️⃣ Find Healthy Outlets: Explore activities that help you release stress in a healthy way. Whether it's practicing yoga, journaling, painting, or listening to soothing music, finding an outlet for your emotions can be incredibly therapeutic.

5️⃣ Connect with Others: Remember that you're not alone on this journey. Reach out to your loved ones, friends, or support groups when you need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. Building a strong support network can provide comfort and perspective during challenging times.

6️⃣ Get Moving: Physical activity is a fantastic stress reliever. Find an exercise routine that suits your preferences, be it jogging, dancing, or attending fitness classes. Not only will it help you blow off steam, but it will also boost your mood and overall well-being.

Remember, managing stress is a journey, and it's important to be patient and kind to yourself along the way. Incorporate these tips into your daily routine and watch the positive impact they can have on your well-being. 🌈

We live in an epidemic of chronic stress, it's mostly emotional or mental stress we face these days due to overexposure to social media, bad news, state of comparison, focus on achieving and high expectations of self, feeling like we are not good enough etc.

The reason it's so important for women's health is because the endocrine system and nervous system work very closely together, the nervous system sends out electrical signals whereas the endo system sends out chemical signals to keep the body in balance ( homeostasis) the autonomic nervous system controls the body's internal processes, such as blood pressure, body temp, digestion etc. it also plays a direct role in the physical response to stress

The stress hormone cortisol has a direct effect on our female s*x hormones estrogen & progesterone. Progesterone can transform into estrogen when there is too little but progesterone can also transform into cortisol when the adrenals can't keep up with the body's demand ( remember cortisol is sent out from the adrenals when the body is in fight or flight) the body will always prioritise survival so may "shut down" the non life saving reproductive system as it's deemed " unsafe" to reproduce. This is why it's so important to manage stress on a daily basis and super important when TTC

Reflexology acts on the nervous system bringing the body naturally back to homeostasis as the main goal *xhormones *xhormones

This picture on the right popped up on my Facebook memories …. Taken on a night out with my best friend in 2008 15 years ago…..

I was working on recruitment, earning thousands a month, flying off to vegas, New York, Amsterdam at the drop of a hat, on the outside I had it all. I was successful in a job I hated for two reasons - my people skills & I cared about my personal rep and doing a good job.

Unfortunately I was also suffering with imposter syndrome, extreme anxiety, people pleasing, no boundaries and zero connection to myself ( who I was or what I wanted) I was chained by golden handcuffs of money -never could I have imagined there was a way out

Here I am 15 years later, still a work in progress, still learning & figuring out who I am, what balance looks like to me. Trying to be kinder to myself, nurture myself as I do others. But I have found the spark , the joy, my passion & purpose and that inner glow & peace cannot be bought

I just had to share this as the photo genuinely hit me like holy s**t I don’t even recognise that person but I send her love ❤️ she did her best

Hi guys, im noticing so many people struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, stress. Life has gone back crazy again, please mind yourselves & try to take time daily for YOU. I hope you find these tips useful

So it’s Mid January, it’s Baltic, everyone I’m seeing is still exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed. Most feel like they “ should” be doing, doing , doing

Here’s the thing, January is winter, nature is still asleep, it’s freezing cold, be slow and gentle with yourself. Stop looking at what others are doing & feeling pressured , just do YOU. This is not a race. Take it easy. My biggest thing so far this year with clients is “ what are the small manageable changes you can make towards a healthier / more balanced lifestyle “ don’t try to do alllll the things, it doesn’t work. Find the most pressing issue , or change you want to make & start small. Slow & steady wins the race

Do you want to have fun, get creative, get clear on your vision for the future & your goals. We will start by looking at the wheel of life and plotting & planning your goal. I will supply all materials for the visionboard ( however feel free to bring along any inspiring magazines you have)

We will look at working with crystals for manifesting and amplifying your intentions and a little about new moons

🌺you will create your own vision board
🌺you will have clear & concise vision of your goals
🌺you will learn about crystals for manifesting and new moons for manifesting
🌺some theory about visualisation and goal setting
🌺mostly you will have fun, play, laugh, connect with others and let the creative juices flow

Where : Sandymount Community Centre
When: Friday 27th Jan 6-730pm
Investment: €40
What’s included: all materials for vision board & little self care goody bag. Tea & light refreshments

Goodbye 2022 Hello 2023, from our family to yours , I wish you nothing but love, peace, happiness & joy for the New Year. Thanks for all your support this year & see you in 23 🤩❤️🤩

As 2022 comes to a close it’s a lovely time to sit back and reflect on the last 12 months, please remember we were all still in survival mode from the pandemic, life went from 0 to 100 very quickly and I think it’s safe to say we were all feeling pretty burnt out by the end. Please don’t make drastic changes and feel you aren’t enough. You are, you always have been. Only focus on things that bring you joy & peace, let go of guilt, beating yourself up & comparison. Unfollow accounts that make you feel s**t. Your diet is not only what you eat, but what you consume on social media. I’m going to spend a few hours looking back and setting some new goals for 2023. Mine will all be based pretty much on my own personal health & wellbeing. I’ll be practicing what I preach a lot more this year. Building up a business coupled with a pandemic has been very challenging and I was overstretched a lot of the time. I physically can’t do this anymore so I will be spending more time eating well, cooking, exercising, meditating and trying to tackle some ongoing health issues I’ve accumulated. I am ready 🙏🙏

I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has interacted with me on here. My amazing clients thank you for allowing me to hold space for you. The countless transformations I’ve witnessed, you are all amazing. All of the beautiful texts with the “I’m pregnant” and then to see you through the pregnancy and meet the beautiful babies in person or the photos you send me, you’ve no idea how much that lights up my soul. The support & love I was shown this year when I had covid & my back surgery and you were all patiently waiting for me with big smiles. As a small business owner it can be very lonely at times but getting to work with the most amazing clients really is the best feeling on the world. I cannot wait to see what 2023 has in store for us all.

I’d like to wish you all a healthy happy Christmas and peace & love for 2023
