Struggling? Please know you are never alone. 🌸

Struggling? Please know you are never alone. 🌸 One vital element of self-compassion is the understanding that suffering is universal; it's an inevitable part of being human and experiencing a full life.

Acknowledging that suffering is a common human experience allows us to move beyond self-judgement and the misconception that we are 'wrong' to feel how we feel. Instead, we realise we are not alone in our suffering and that others are ‘just like me’. In this mindset, we can become a loving friend to ourselves and foster self-compassion, empathy, and healing. 🌟

Slow down, and savour🍽️ In our busy lives, mindful eating helps us reconnect with our body's natural signals. What is mindful eating? Pay attention to hunger cues, leave ample time for meals, savour each bite, and make conscious food choices that nourish body, mind, and soul.

A well body supports a well mind and when we are more mindful about our relationship with food, we are able to enjoy the fullest form of wellbeing! ✨

When was the last time you were truly spontaneous?

When was the last time you were truly spontaneous? True spontaneity, rooted in spiritual intelligence, allows us to act with authenticity and intuition. By embracing life's unfolding moments with an open heart, we connect deeply with our inner selves. This genuine expression fosters creativity, joy, and resilience, helping us thrive.

Living spontaneously nurtures our ability to adapt, explore new possibilities, and experience profound fulfillment. So, let's embrace the freedom to respond naturally and authentically to life’s adventures. 🌟

Let mindful colour help you thrive. 🌈 Mindfulness helps us thrive by keeping us present and connected to the moment.

🌿 Embracing Taha Tinana. 🌿

This month, I encourage you to focus on the physical dimension in the Whare Tapa Whā model of wellbeing. Just as our body needs nourishment and care, so does our overall health. And, when we honour our physical self, we build a foundation of strength and vitality that supports our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

What can you do today that celebrates the incredible connection between your body, mind, and spirit?

Over the past few months, I've been learning more

Over the past few months, I've been learning more about the concept of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) - our ability to connect with our inner self and understand deeper life meanings.

The key to greater SQ? Self-awareness! By understanding our inner thoughts and feelings, we connect deeply with our ineffable 'centre'.

To cultivate greater self-awareness, try keeping a reflective journal. Write down your thoughts and emotions daily, observing patterns and gaining insights. This practice helps you stay in tune with your true self, enhancing your spiritual intelligence. 🌟

3 days after going missing, Snuggles appeared to me in a dream and showed me the inside of a garage. Sure enough, the next day, we heard her calling softly from inside a neigbour's locked garage, and set her free. Our intuition is *always* working to keep us safe, fulfilled, and on the right track.

🌟 Feel-Good Podcast Alert! "The more we can be in tune with nature, the more we can get in touch with ourselves and our inner compass, and surely that's a good way to guide ourselves through life."🌳

I had a wonderful time chatting with PJ Harding on the Slow It Down podcast. We explored the ways we can reconnect - with our natural selves, others, and our quiet inner GPS. If you fancy an uplifting weekend podcast, check out Slow it Down: 🔗 in bio, or search Slow it Down on your favourite podcast app. 🎧

My sincere thanks to @pjdeejay for her curiosity, kindness, and graciousness.
