I think you will agree with me that over the past year most of us have felt some kind of overwhelm. In this article I will share a couple of tips to help to reduce overwhelm.  

Life can seem overwhelming enough.. add a global pandemic alongside some home schooling, working from home, massive change and I believe that overwhelm is high on the list of experiences from the past year.

When we are in a state of overwhelm we don’t get much done. Our nervous system is in ‘fight or flight’ mode, or in its ‘survival state’, which means that we are either ready to run off or fight something which is endangering our lives. You see, our nervous system wasn’t created with home schooling and modern challenges in mind. It’s literally our survival mechanism and when it is constantly being triggered, overwhelm is what we face. 

When we are in this ‘state’ it is a huge challenge to be in...

I help all kinds of people to set and achieve their goals. Whether it’s tangible goals of manifesting their dream home, getting a promotion or increasing their income or goals that enable my clients to feel and be a certain way; like calm and centred instead of anxious.  More self-belief instead of self-doubt. Goals can come in many different shapes and sizes. 

Let’s address something here; 

Whose goals are you creating?

Are they things that you want?

Or are they things that society or family told you that you should be aiming for?

This indoctrination of who we are destined to be starts young.

Remember questions like, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Well, we can be, do and have anything that we want.

We are expected to make decisions at the tender age of 15/16 about what we want to do with our futures and if we don’t know we can be made to feel like we have no direction, focus or drive. 

The thing is,...

Kindness. Being kind. What does this mean? 

Well, kindness is about being friendly, considerate of thoughts and feelings of others and generous.  Kindness is a high vibration emotion. If someone does something kind for you, how does it make you feel? Warm and fluffy!  When you do something kind for others it allows you to fulfil one of the 6 basic human needs; contribution.  We can choose to contribute with our careers, within our family unit or by choosing to volunteer for a charity. It is important for us all to recognise that contributing creates fulfilment.

Whilst I am talking about human needs lets talk about connection. Connection/love is something that we can’t live without.  Kindness also taps into this need and allows us to feel a sense of connection to the person that we are giving kindness to or the person that we are receiving kindness from.  Also, if we are part of a group that is generating kindness then we are both...

Self-love, self-love, self-love and all that jazz.. We keep hearing all about this stuff from self-love experts and coaches, but what on earth do they all mean!? 

I think that we have to look at what self-love means to the individual and we need to ask, why is there such an issue around the subject of self-love and why do so many of us find it so damn tough?  

When you are void of self-love and acceptance, what do you have instead?  What is lying under the dark depths of our daily tasks, chores and responsibilities? It’s time we dove deeper into the psychology behind self-love, or lack there of.

Let’s start at the beginning.

What is self-love?

What does it mean to you?

How do you know that you’ve got it?

How does it feel?

How does it look, sound and feel?

What would you do differently if you had lashings of self-love?

LOVE. FOR. SELF.

That is it!  Sounds simple, however hundreds of clients and years of experience and research tell me that this...

Now, this is a subject that I think we can all relate to. 

Whether we’ve just messed up our diet, drank alcohol in dry January or sabotaged a relationship, I believe we have all been there in some form.

Wouldn’t you agree?

The thing is, we usually won’t realise when we are in that space of self-sabotage as what we decide most of the time comes from a place in our unconscious mind where our belief structure lives.  Our core belief structure was largely created when we were children; we picked up ways of thinking and believing from our parents or carers and we didn’t even question why we believed what we did.

Most of us rarely question our beliefs until later on in life when we are in therapy, on some kind of self-discovery journey or wanting to unpick some traumatic or past events that we realise are holding us back from being a better version of ourselves.

From my experience, self-sabotage is a sneaky episode that creeps up when we least expect it...

I have always been a massive hugger. I love to hug. It’s the best way of saying hello to people in your life and it brings so many benefits that it needs to be talked about some more.

It’s a shame that right now we are being told that we are not allowed to hug our friends and family because hugging has been scientifically proven over and over again to support not only mental and emotional well-being but amazingly, it helps to boost physical health, including your immune system.

There have been studies on various species that show that the power of touch is hugely beneficial in the development and growth of each animal.

In 2018, Tiffany Field, Head of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, travelled to different airports to watch people interacting.  The findings were shocking; nobody was touching each other anymore. Everybody was so busy on their phones, even the toddlers were interacting with their devices rather...

Exactly 6 years ago when I was in LA, I met one of my gurus: Micheal Bernard Beckwith.

Michael Bernard Beckwith is a New Thought minister, author and founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Beverly Hills, California, this is where I met him.

Micheal is more famously known for appearing in The Secret. I am a massive lover of all things to do with The Law of Attraction and first heard of this concept over 20 years ago. Since then, I have used vision boards combined with other techniques to help me to create the amazing life that I now live.

I remember the excitement that I felt walking into the Agape Center in LA.  I had gone along by myself, by the recommendation of a famous actor dude who I had met at the retreat that I was revisiting in California the week before. 

I walked in not knowing what to expect yet having the intention that I was going to meet Micheal Bernard Beckwith no matter what happened.

As I entered the door, there stood a stylish, well put...

Manifesting

Now this, ladies and gents, is one of my favourite subjects to talk about!

I get super excited about the subject of manifestation, I love the magic of believing that you can create so much in your life, so much joy, so much fulfilment, so much peace, so much connection, love and wonderment to be had, yes, this is YOUR life I am talking about here.

Whoop!

As humans, we are so flipping amazing! We have the potential to be the creator of our own lives. In fact, it’s not that we have the potential, it is what we do, whether we know it or not! That means your destiny really is in your hands! It is so easy to forget what magnificent beings that we really are!

We often get so bogged down by the day to day of life that we forget to live, I mean like really live, with passion, awareness and consciousness. You may find that much of the time you’re not living in the present moment and you are thinking of one million things all at the same time, that’s when...

Do you want to feel AMAZING? The holistic approach to detoxing and how changing your lifestyle choices will improve physical, mental and emotional health.

Detoxes often get a bad wrap as they can be misconstrued as some kind of unhelpful fad diet, something that may set you off into a yo-yo diet mentality. I am not an advocate for any type of fad diet or quick fix, however detoxing your mind and body holistically by looking into not only diet, but lifestyle choices can help physical, mental and emotional health.

What is holistic detox?

The holistic approach to detox sees us focus on food and drinks that create stress on the internal organs while also ridding toxins that we put into our bodies, our hair, toxic habits, relationships and even silver mercury fillings if you want to go down that path! Basically, anything that can stop us from being our best, most vibrant, energetic, aligned, strong and fabulous self!

The things that I recommend removing from your diet are meat,...
