You are not defined by your past, your struggles, or your circumstances. You are defined by your strength, your kindness, and your ability to overcome. - Lynda Dodds

I would also add your choices made as an adult. The faster you recognise your patterns and belief systems the faster you can bounce back.

Live in the moment, pause, breathe and reflect.

🌿 When did we forget how to just BE?

I've spent so much of my life being busy. Raising kids, working, building a life, looking after everyone and everything. Always something to do, somewhere to be or someone needing something.

And somewhere in amongst all that, I think we forget how to sit with ourselves.

Not doing the washing, scrolling through our phones or mentally writing tomorrow's to-do list. 😂

I mean actually sitting. In silence. With ourselves.

And bloody hell, that can feel uncomfortable at first!

But I've come to realise that solitude isn't selfish, and stillness isn't wasted time.

Sometimes we need to step away from everyone else's noise to hear our own thoughts, feel what's happening in our bodies and recognise what we've been carrying around without even realising it.

And sometimes we need to be bored! Remember that? Before we had a screen to fill every spare second?

That's often when the imagination wakes up, ideas start flowing and that quiet inner knowing gets a chance to speak.

So I'm learning to give myself those moments.

❤️Breathing in, coming back to myself, feeling and connecting.

❤️Breathing out, softening, releasing, allowing and trusting.

No fixing. No forcing. No need to achieve a damn thing.

Just being human for a little while. ❤️

Because sometimes the most important connection we can nurture is the one we have with ourselves.

When You've Become Really Good At Ignoring Yourself

I used to think I was pretty emotionally intelligent.
I can read a room.
I can tell when someone’s upset before they’ve said a word.
I know when the kids aren’t quite themselves.
I can sense when my partner’s had a crap day.
I can usually tell when someone needs a cuppa, a hug, some space or a good old fashioned “pull your head in.”

But recognising what I need?

Apparently that department has been closed for renovations since about 1999. 😂

And I think a lot of women around my age are the same.

We’ve spent decades working, raising families, keeping households running, remembering birthdays, solving problems, supporting everyone else and generally being the emotional air traffic controller for half the bloody family.

Somewhere along the way, we got very good at functioning
and not necessarily very good at noticing ourselves.

Tired?
Keep going.

Jaw clenched?
Probably nothing.

Shoulders permanently living somewhere near your ears?
Standard operating procedure.

Can’t switch your brain off at night?
Must be getting older.

Brain fog?
Menopause.

Snappy over something completely ridiculous?
Clearly everyone else is annoying. 😂

Holding your breath while answering emails?
Normal.

Feeling flat, disconnected or wondering what the hell you actually enjoy anymore?

Well ... there’s no bloody time to unpack THAT little suitcase today.

The body whispers long before it starts yelling.
A shallow breath.
A tight chest.
A knotted stomach.
Restlessness.
Poor sleep.
Headaches.
Tension.
Exhaustion that a weekend doesn’t seem to fix.

That feeling of being permanently “on” even when there’s technically nothing happening. But when you’ve spent years pushing through, those cues can become so normal that you stop recognising them as communication.

You just call it life.

Perhaps emotional intelligence isn’t only about understanding our emotions. Maybe it’s also learning to recognise our needs before we reach breaking point.

To notice:
I need rest.
I need space.
I need quiet.
I need connection.
I need to move my body.
I need to breathe.
I need to say no.
I need to stop fixing everyone else's s**t for five minutes.

I need something in my life that belongs to me.

That last one can hit differently in your 50s, because after decades of being needed, life changes.

The kids grow up.
The roles shift.
Work feels different.
Your body changes.
The house gets quieter... although somehow there is still an alarming amount of washing and underneath all that busyness you suddenly realise:

I know what everybody else needs but I’m not actually sure what I need anymore.

That isn’t something to judge. It’s something to get curious about.
Because your body has probably been talking to you all along.
Maybe this stage of life isn’t about reinventing yourself, fixing yourself or becoming some shiny new version of you.

Maybe it’s much simpler.
Learning your own language again.
Noticing the little cues.
Listening before your body needs a bloody megaphone.
Taking 60 minutes where nobody needs anything from you.
Breathing.
Coming back into your body.
Getting quiet enough to hear yourself underneath all the noise.
A gentle return to you.
Because after spending so many years being emotionally available to everyone else it’s time to become a little more emotionally available to yourself. ❤️

Forgive Yourself

A friend once said to me " You don't know what you don't know". How true.

We operate from a belief system of our past. Until we have new experiences and have had a chance to grow we are judging ourselves harshly from a broken belief system and story that is not true.

We aquire these beliefs and stories from external influences and circumstances and only time and self realisation can change that.

So forgive yourself, breathe and be a better version of you each day in small ways.

❤️

I don’t believe natural therapists should be chasing the title of healer.

Because this work doesn’t start with learning a modality, getting a certificate and suddenly deciding we have the answers for everybody else.

It starts with us.

With our own journey.

Getting to know our patterns.

Our beliefs.

Our conditioning.

Our triggers.

The stories we’ve carried for years without ever stopping to ask whether they’re actually ours.

It starts with pulling things apart.

Questioning.

Unlearning.

Relearning.

Getting curious about why we react the way we do, why the same situations keep appearing, why certain things hit a nerve and why we sometimes keep walking through the same bloody door expecting to find a different room.

And one modality is never the whole answer.
I’ve never believed you learn one thing and you’re done.

Because people aren’t textbooks.
What creates an enormous shift for one person might do absolutely nothing for another.

So we keep learning.

We explore the body, breath, nervous system, mind, emotions, energy, beliefs, behaviour, relationships and all the strange little pieces that make us beautifully complicated humans.

And somewhere in that process, something changes.

Our own healing journey begins to show us that other people are carrying pain too.
Not because they’re broken.

Not because they need rescuing.

But because sometimes they simply haven’t been given the keys to their own kingdom yet.
And THAT, to me, is where the role of a natural therapist begins.

Not standing above someone saying,
“I can heal you."

No. I cannot heal you.

And anyone promising to swoop in and magically fix your entire life should probably come with a cape and a healthy dose of scepticism.

What I can do is walk beside you.

I can share what I’ve learned.

I can offer tools.

I can help you recognise patterns you may not have been able to see from inside them.

I can create a space where you feel safe enough to become curious about yourself.

I can help calm your nervous system to allow change.

I can help you find the key.

But you turn it.

You decide whether that door opens a tiny crack today.

You decide whether you fling the bloody thing wide open.

You decide whether you’re ready to make a change at all.

Because it is your body.

Your life.

Your timing.

Your choices.

Your journey.

And everyone’s journey will look different.
Not everyone will resonate with me.
They’re not supposed to.

I won’t have every piece of your puzzle, and neither will any other therapist, teacher or practitioner.

But every person we meet can carry a piece of knowledge, wisdom or experience that brings us one step closer to understanding ourselves.

One puzzle piece closer to peace.

One piece closer to joy.

One piece closer to feeling at home inside ourselves.

Perhaps that is what this work is really about.
Not creating followers.

Not becoming somebody’s healer.

But helping people remember that the keys were never meant to stay in somebody else’s hands.

They belong in yours.

Interestingly we spend up to 50% of our time in our heads.

We create stories around situations or thoughts that are not true. We worry, we stress, we hurry, we doubt causing wasted hours around the what ifs.

This often leads to stress, snxiety, sleepless nights, tossing and turning, and having a knock on effect in how you perform. It also affects your mental and physical resiliance, it can even affect gut health.

Just saying, "stay positive", isn't really the answer here. Or using positive reinforcements such as mantras because your brain will still over ride these on a subconscious level.

What really needs to happen is for your nervous system to get out of the "flight or fight" response into a "rest and digest" state of being and there are only a few ways to achieve this.

Breathwork is one way and it is easy to learn and has immediate results. It lowers cortisol levels, promotes deep relaxation, can reduces inflammation and be the catalyst to better emotional control. It has been proven to reduce anxiety, improve cardiovascular health and can stimulate the release of endorphins leading to less pain and over all wellbeing.

Sometimes it's just like that, no matter how hard you try something always seems to go wrong.

Maybe that's the point. You're trying too hard, pushing too hard and forcing an outcome rather than going with the flow.

Sure chase your dreams, but maybe the way you are going about it, is not the path for you.

Maybe you're not in the right headspace and perhaps you are not aligning with the right people.

Maybe you are pushing against the natural order of things instead of seeing the path of least resistsnce.

Most times we push and force out of fear and limiting beliefs we don't even know are there.

A program running us in the background of negative beliefs and life patterns that always tends to lead to self sabotage keeping us stuck in failed attempts and looping lifestyles.

Why? Because most of us live in our heads. Our heads create scenarios and stories we can repeat on demand over and over to ourselves or whomever will listen.

But that is where it gets interesting, because we are not our stories nor our limiting beliefs but we do run the patterns. Recognise the patterns, break the limiting beliefs, stop the self sabotage and voila you move forward.

Sounds simple - right! Well it is when you have the right tools.

Put "Faith" in the comments if you want more info on the programme I am running.

We create so much pain by the thoughts we loop around in our brains. We are constantly judging, scolding and growling at ourselves in a fictitious world that is of our making - the pain, the fails, the not good enoughs. This creates anxiety, worry, negative thoughts, sleeplessness and so much more.

We don't allow ourselves to be in our body. We have not been taught what that is like. We don't have the equipment to just be and and do nothing, to actually feel the feels and allow them to travel through us, without the thoughts, without the preconceived ideas, the negative beliefs and patterns.

It is so important to just sit in contemplation.

To let the thoughts run their course to where you find the peace and quiet of the moment.

Where you can see how and when the frustration, anger, disappointment, sadness, judgement came from and giving it time and space to be let go instead of pushing it down or rushing it away (and it never ever goes away - trust me, your body always keeps the score).
