They say a problem shared is a problem halved, and that’s true of course. Talking things through can be helpful. But, in my own personal experience, when things get tough, there are far more benefits to immersing yourself in things that feel good.

Now, before we rush to call that ‘denial and avoidance’ let me explain.

Denial and avoidance involve ignoring problems and challenges and doing everything you can to move AROUND them whilst you distract yourself by ruminating on all the limitations you face.

What I’m talking about is, fully acknowledging problems and challenges, and then creating the space, time, nourishment and support I need to allow for growth and expansion THROUGH them. Moving towards solutions from a well resourced place.

In recent weeks I’ve been experiencing what has felt at times like a tsunami of challenges. I’ve given myself time to moan, stress and complain of course, but then… I’ve made a conscious decision to find a focus that feels better.

A better feeling thought, time with positive and uplifting people, moving my body and taking much better care of myself even when I don’t think I’ve got the time. In fact, especially when I don’t think I’ve got the time.

I’ll share more about the challenges at some point but for today, if you’re facing tough times, my hope is that you too will head towards the things that feel good to you. Immerse yourself in them. Do whatever you need to do to stay afloat.

That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been serving me far better than the ruminating.

How about you? Do you prefer to chew things over and run them through with everyone you know, or do you give yourself time to acknowledge challenges before moving on?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and strategies.

There’s a tell tale sign that happens to me when my brain gets too busy, I feel overwhelmed or my stress is preparing to become burn out…

I find that my mind will spontaneously replay a song or rhyme over and over again for a little while. Typically something silly like a radio jingle, a chorus of a song I might not even like that much or a rhyme I remember from childhood.

How about you? What’s a telltale sign that you are too busy or overwhelmed?

In psychology and neuroscience, a song/rhyme/music looping in your mind is known as involuntary musical imagery (INMI). In every day speak, you might call it an earworm.

Apparently, more than 90% of people experience earworms at least once a week, and a third of people experience them daily.

And yes, stress can be a linking factor.

So, does that mean that a huge proportion of us are walking around in a state of stress weekly, maybe even daily?

I think we all know the answer to that!

Whatever you want to call it, I know when it crops up for me it’s time to hit pause.

So, here’s what I’m taking action on this week.

✨Carving out dedicated time to rest.
✨Reprioritising anything that has fallen through the net in terms of my own wellbeing and care.
✨And I’ve already booked some nurturing treatments and experiences for myself.

What’s your telltale sign and what action will you commit to this week?

Sometimes it can just be about pleasure, happiness and the deep sense that life is joyous.

The GODDESS Herself is the ultimate testament to that. A ceremonial facial ritual that is unique and exclusive to

I know because I created it.

Come try it for yourself, for the pleasure, for the happiness, for the joy of it.

Here’s the truth of it…

If you’re not sleeping well, you’re less focused, struggle to think clearly and feel less resilient.

If you’re in pain, you’re more likely to feel irritable, exhausted and have less patience.

If you’re struggling with a chronic illness, you might expect too much of yourself, push through when you really need to rest, or feel frustrated that you can’t do everything you used to.

It can be tempting to feel that investing in your wellbeing by booking a massage or a facial is a luxury or treat.

It can be tempting to feel that investing in improving your health with a treatment like Zone Technique is lavish when healthcare is accessible on the NHS.

But you and I both know that when you’re running on empty, it’s so much harder to show up as the person you want to be for the people you love and care about.

If you’re suffering, it’s likely they are too.

So, maybe it’s time to get ahead of the hospital waiting lists and put down that never ending to do list, and prioritise yourself for just a little while.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

It’s not about putting yourself above everyone else. It’s about recognising that you matter too.

Because when you prioritise your wellbeing, you give yourself a better chance of being more present, more patient, more compassionate and more able to support others.

You don’t have to keep pushing through at the expense of your own wellbeing. And you don’t have to wish you’d found me sooner. I’m right here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

You deserve to be cared for, too.

✨ So, what’s one thing you could do for yourself today?✨

There’s been a theme in the studio lately. For my clients and for me…

Overwhelm.

I’ve seen numerous women (and men) who, despite being proud and resilient ‘copers’, are finding that the sheer volume of commitments, tasks and responsibilities has simply become too much.

Me too.

Maybe there’s something in the air.
Maybe it’s the planets doing their thing right now.

Maybe it’s because I actually have (slightly 😬) over estimated what’s possible and underestimated the time and energy I have available. 🤔

Whatever the root cause, once I hit that wall I knew immediately what I needed to do about it.

Create a pause.

So, I’ve made myself a priority. Despite the ever growing to do list, I’ve removed myself from the overwhelm and booked a relaxing treat for myself.

I declared ‘that’s enough!’ and grabbed my diary to see how I could make it work rather than why the work meant I couldn’t pause.

So, time slot created and treat booked. In just a couple of weeks from now, I’ll be doing something very wonderful for myself that will slow time, regulate my nervous system and give me some breathing space.

If that resonates, come find me in the studio. I’ll be refreshed and ready for you. My couch is warm, comfortable and calming.

Every now and again, I like to check in with myself and ask…

Am I actually walking my talk?

If I’m making recommendations, asking you to try something new, or encouraging you to prioritise your wellbeing, I want to know that I’m doing it authentically — and with integrity.

So recently, I found myself wondering:

How much of my own income do I actually dedicate to my wellbeing? Not cosmetics and beauty - activities, experiences, subscriptions and products that support my health span.

So I did the maths.

✨15%.✨

And honestly? That number surprised me.

It’s considerably higher than the average typical spend on wellbeing — at a time when we can so easily spend more on takeaways, alcohol, coffees, nights out, TV subscriptions and other things that feel good in the moment.

And it got me thinking…

What if we stopped seeing wellbeing as an indulgence to look at after we’re done numbing and distracting ourselves - and started seeing it as a priority investment?

Not something we squeeze in when everything else is paid for.

Not something we deserve only when we’ve been productive enough.

But something we deliberately make space for because HOW WE FEEL MATTERS.

So I’m curious…

What percentage of your income do you think you spend on your own wellbeing?

No judgement. Just awareness.

And if you’ve been telling yourself that you should be prioritising your wellbeing but keep putting it off, maybe this is your sign.

If you’re ready to make yourself a priority, I’d love to help. Book via the link in my bio.
