The problem is….we think we have time.

✨Time to make that phone call another day.

✨Check in with our loved ones when we are not so busy.

✨Apologise when our ego is not in the way.

✨ Express our love for others only when we know the love will be returned.

✨ Put off living our dreams until the day we are “ready”.

✨ Travel and explore the world once we retire.

✨Put happiness on hold until we have enough dollars in the bank.

✨ Hide our vulnerabilities and soft side until it is too late.

✨Step out with courage only when we know we won’t fail.

Stop putting limitations on your life and waiting for that “perfect” day. There is no more opportune time than NOW. After all, no one on this earth is guaranteed another day.

START LIVING YOUR DREAM LIFE NOW.

Show up. Be seen. Tell your loved ones how much you care. Hold them tight and don’t let go. Forgive yourself and others. Smell the roses. Enjoy the sunshine. Pick up the phone. Nurture yourself. Smile. Allow yourself permission to feel JOY!

 

Love

I am sitting here pondering ~ how have we got things so wrong in our society??? The stigma surrounding seeking mental health support and the notion that it is weak to speak. What I witness in my clinic every day is powerful beyond measure. If people saw what therapists saw – mental health, speaking up and weakness would never be used in the same sentence again. It takes VULNERABILITY, COURAGE and STRENGTH to allow yourself to be truly seen by another. I often have sessions so powerful that they leave me speechless and with a small tear in my eye. When you witness someone shifting a lifetime of trauma and limiting beliefs – it would be impossible (at least in my eyes) to see weakness. When you look at someone with tears rolling down their face and know that the “work” you have just witnessed will change them on a deep level. To know that they are leaving your therapy room a different person to who they were when they walked in an hour ago is incredible. A person who looks deep within themselves to transform their lives for the better is a fierce warrior. Let’s change our dialogue around mental health support and see it for what it actually is!! A strength! Speak up, reach out and get support if you need it ❤️

It’s okay to admit that I can’t do it all
And that some days I feel I am sinking

It is okay to admit that I am exhausted and flat
And that I am stuck in my negative thinking

It is okay for me to talk about my hard days
The days I cry, scream and want to run away

It is okay to admit that I don’t love every motherhood phase
And that I miss my freedom and ease

It is okay to long for quiet time and time just for me
It is okay for me to ask for help and accept it along the way

It is okay for me to feel these emotions and allow them just to be
It is okay to feel love, joy, anger, guilt and every other emotion in between

It is okay for me to surrender control and let go of all the small things
It is okay for me to be kinder to myself and embrace my imperfections

It is okay for me to shift my perspective and notice all of my blessings
It is okay for me to get knocked down and to get up again

It is okay to go with the ebb and flow of life
Some days are good and some days are hard

It is okay to honour myself as friend, mother and wife
It is okay to live a life with self-love, compassion, lows and highs

It is okay for me to speak my truth and encourage others to do the same
When we step up and lead the way, we pave the path for all to rise.

 

Love

She got caught up in the rushing.
The overwhelming responsibilities.
The crowded calendar.
The to-do-list.
The heaviness of life.
She felt trapped.
She had lost a part of herself.
She had lost the carefree child in her.
The one who used to run free.
The one who used to play.
Laugh.
Not take life so seriously.
She missed her.
She missed the space.
She missed the lightness.
And she knew she needed to find that little lost part of herself.
She needed to reconnect.
To nurture herself.
To clear space in her overcrowded days.
To follow the things that light her up.
To let go and surrender more.
To close her eyes and turn within.
To quieten her overburdened mind.
And then within the silence…it came.
She had arrived.
She felt spacious and free.
She felt connected and whole.
The stress within her body had melted away.
Her mind was still.
She was light and carefree once again.
She had arrived home. ✨💗
