Why do we self-sabotage? What are the stories we play on repeat? What are the behaviours that continue to stand in our own way of our goals? Self-sabotage can be reflective in many ways such as; emotional eating, procrastination, self-soothing with drugs/ alcohol, avoidance, self-harm and result in internal conflict with our core values and beliefs. These behaviours can start small but left unidentified, can interfere with our long term goals. When we really look at our emoti

It become apparently clear to me this week that regardless of our upbringing, our siblings don't share the same perspective on many things, outlook on life being number one. Is the cup half full or half empty kinda thing.. Holism is the theory that all things are interconnected. As such as we get older and take lessons from our younger days these intermingle with experiences that we uniquely take as we traverse this life game. Our beliefs and values change overtime and its of

Given it was Valentine’s day yesterday and there is a whole lotta love and devotion, not to mention chocolate, and cut flowers (you know they die when you cut them right?!Buy a plant instead) going around on socials, and in stores, I thought what better time than to look at ways we can cultivate a little self-love.

Intuitively, deep within our bones there is an instinct, a euphoric feeling that is often hard to describe when we immerse ourselves in Nature. We crave this feeling, this sense of well-being, this sense of comfort physiologically. Being in Nature will restore our energy,

Want a different result? Change it up, gain different perspective and approach through alternate actions. Do you want to stop the cycle of stress, fatigue, and frustration and bring balance back into your life? Our lives seem more chaotic than ever, with diminishing health, longer work hours, and rising levels of anxiety, depression with mental illness affecting young children. It’s almost worn as a badge of honor within today’s society, competing for the title of the busiest

Xin; the Chinese word meaning Head-Heart. This philosophy is that we each have a rational mind in which we make decisions and our hearts full of emotion and instinctual knowing. In certain situations you may lead with either your head or your heart however it is imperative that we utilise both heart and mind to make a good decision. One balances the other. When we make decisions with our heart, emotions can taint the truth. They are reactive and unpracticed responses which do

As another week comes to an end I feel an overwhelming sense of in-completion. Between work roles this week and that of Mother and wife, the pressure that I put on myself to complete an unattainable amount of work has left me with the sense of dizziness from my self-made hamster wheel. Anxious and filled with self-doubt, it can be a vicious cycle if you don’t quieten the mind and body. This is not new to me or to any other women trying to “do it all”. Am I right? There is a
