📣 Mental health Awareness Week

Here at SELF collective mental health is a key pillar of my holistic approach to health and wellness.

Mental health can look very different and is not a one size fits all approach which is why I enjoy working 1:1 with clients.

Tailoring an individualised program that not only aids in physical improvements but emotional & mental growth also is where the integration happens ✨

Utilising Mindfulness tools & strategies such as meditation, personalised journal prompts, breathwork exercises and personal touch points can help navigate days that maybe a little more tricky than others. Additionally utilising a therapy called system mapping Aka systemic constellations can help in releasing held trauma, blocks and emotions stored within the body allowing you to move forward with freedom and self sovereignty.

Creating little daily rituals of the above tools has been proven to increase joy, happiness & calm moments.

And for those days that you may find yourself in the darkness, just know this too shall pass and it’s ok to ask for help.

Please feel free to always connect with me or someone you love.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." - Ashley Smith

This quote reminds us that beauty is all around us, even in the midst of difficult times. Rainbows after a storm are a perfect example of this. They are a symbol of hope and remind us that there is always something to look forward to.
It's up to us to choose whether or not we want to see the beauty in the world.

By focusing on the positive and keeping a hopeful attitude, we can find joy even in the darkest of moments. ✨🌈

Reflection 💭

I’m a deep thinker. Not always a good thing as I often overthink, over analyse and try to find meaning in literally EV.ER.Y.THING.

Trying to be conscious in allowing life to flow as it is without attachement or judgement is a work in progress.

Mindfulness is a practice I lean into to check in with myself and align body, mind and soul.

Having awareness of your SELF and being willing to take responsibility & ownership are two very different concepts.
Often we project what we are doing/being onto loved ones instead of seeing it as ourselves.
It is when we can look in the mirror or become bigger than the situation that we can see it for what it is and what we bring to the situation.
Relationships can begin to to flourish when we take ownership for ourselves without judgment.

I think it’s great that therapy and mental wellness are part of the mainstream conversation. The more information we share and the more knowledge that is out there, the better.

It’s important to understand that therapy is a tool. Like all things, it’s *how* you use the tool that determines the outcome. Not everyone is going to therapy to self reflect, to own their role, or to gain more emotional tools. Some people are looking to be validated that others are the issue. Or, to just declare that they’re in therapy.

It is not a magic fix. No therapist can make someone change their patterns— or even see them. The habits and patterns that happen every week outside of that hour are equally important. Without true dedication to doing the work, change doesn’t happen.

Ideally, a person comes ready to learn new tools and break generational patterns. They’re ready to face the discomfort, the shame, and they have the humility to be introspective. This takes courage and radical transformation happens.

📌Some Infrared Sauna common questions

🔥 WHAT IS THE BEST TEMPERATURE FOR AN INFRARED SAUANA?
An ideal temperature is 60 degrees Celsius however, it is important with infrared that the panels are kept on to maximise detoxification, weight loss, sore muscle and pain relief benefits. If the cabin temperature gets too hot for your liking open the door or vent to regulate the temperature.

🔥 HOW LONG SHOULD I STAY IN THE SAUNA?
Beginners should aim for 15mins and increasing time to 20-45mins.
Experienced users can enjoy 45+mins in any given sauna.
However, exact time frames are personal preference to one’s ability to withstand the heat. This will increase over time.

🔥 HOW LONG BEFORE I FEEL THE BENEFITS?
On average, it takes 3 months of regular sauna use (3x per week) to notice and physiological health benefits.
The more frequently you stay in the sauna, the potential increase in health benefits.

🔥 WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
In a dry sauna like infrared it is best to expose as much skin to the panels as possible to allow the heat to contact the skin & body directly. Therefore, naked with towels to dry your skin as you sweat is fine.
A reminder our sauna is a private 2 person.

Taking some time to reset on a Sunday can be an excellent way to prepare for the week ahead and improve your overall productivity.

Here are three tips on how to reset on a Sunday and why it's important:

🗓️Review your schedule: Take some time on Sunday to review your schedule for the upcoming week. This will help you prepare mentally for what's to come and set realistic expectations for yourself.

🛁Practice self-care: Sundays are a great day to practice self-care and recharge your batteries. This could mean taking a relaxing bath, going for a walk, or practicing meditation or yoga.

✍🏻Plan your meals: Planning your meals for the week ahead can save you time and money and help you make healthier choices. Spend some time on Sunday prepping your meals for the week or planning out your grocery list.

Resetting on a Sunday is important because it helps you start the week off on the right foot & with the best mindset. By taking the time to review your schedule, practice self-care, and plan your meals, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
So take some time this Sunday to reset and prepare for a productive week ahead! ✨

Whether you are a professional athlete or simply enjoy staying active, incorporating infrared therapy into your recovery routine can help you to stay healthy, strong, and injury-free. 🫠✨🔥💦

Infrared rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that pe*****te deep into the body's tissues, causing a warming effect that can offer numerous benefits to athletes.

One of the primary benefits of infrared therapy is increased blood flow. This can help to deliver vital nutrients and oxygen to the muscles that have been damaged during exercise, which can speed up the body's natural healing process.

Additionally, the warmth generated by infrared rays can help to relax muscles and relieve stiffness, which can help to reduce the risk of future injuries.

Infrared therapy has also been shown to be effective at reducing pain and inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who are dealing with chronic pain or inflammation related to overuse injuries. By helping to reduce inflammation, infrared therapy can improve joint mobility and help athletes get back to training more quickly.

Let’s talk Capacity.

Capacity can be different for everyone.
It can be a maximum client base, or amount of time in a day / week.
It can be energetic capacity or feeling of overwhelm.

Ultimately, capacity is boundaries that you create & hold for yourself in order to maintain some balance and harmony in your world.
To avoid living in flight or flight & burn out, get clear on your boundaries around CAPACITY and what you can hold.

Do it for yourself.

🗓️ mid year! How are we here already?!

This time of year is a great opportunity to reflect and reset 💭

Consider your mindset and intentions. Ask yourself what is currently serving you and what is no longer serving you.

This can apply to any aspect of your life, including relationships, habits, goals or vision you hold for yourself.

Use this time to focus on what truly matters and make any necessary changes to align with vision of your future SELF ❤️‍🔥

Growth happens with the changes that take place every day. Small habits of consistency, showing up for yourself & the desire to be better. 📈

It’s not just about meditating & exercise, or drinking 2L water. Be conscious of your time & energy.

What are you absorbing?

What are you expending?
Does it align to your values and the identity you desire for yourself?

Food for thought 💭

✨✨✨✨

✨ Rest for me has been an intentional value I am creating space for and implementing lately.

Rest for me is finding joy in slowness, those ‘lazy’ mornings on a Sunday where I may lie in longer with a coffee and book or stay in my pjs until lunchtime.
Scheduling ‘break | food’ slots in my calendar on a Sunday so I am nourishing my body & taking time to breath. 😮‍💨

Going to bed early when I know I have an early wake time to ensure I am getting adequate sleep. Yes, often I am in bed the same time as my kids 😆

Rest is part of my self care and a value that is important for vitality & growth 🌱on days like today — I feel so good for it 🥰

Friendly reminder...

Be mindful with your time 💭✨
