“You are the sky - everything else is just weather.” – Pema Chödrön.

This is a helpful analogy often used in meditation that can put things into perspective for us. It’s something we can learn to tap into when we meditate - the notion that we have an ever present still space within us that reflects the qualities of the sky. Thoughts, emotions, interactions with others and reactions to our circumstances are all transient and ever changing, much like the weather.

If we practise in meditation, over and over again, letting go and allowing these things to come and go, we start to form less of an attachment. In doing so, we can begin to experience the sense of peace that comes with accessing that still space within, even if it is just in brief moments and tiny glimpses. Over time that can make such a great, accumulative impact on your life for the better.

It’s not an easy thing to accept life when it’s challenging or be in the moment when you're struggling. A question like this can help open up the possibility of that though. What if? It can ease you into a space of widening your perspective and reflecting on acceptance. As a way of being with the discomfort, of being present to whatever is happening for you and whatever you’re feeling.

“What would it be like if I could accept life – accept this moment – exactly as it is?” – Tara Brach

Happy New Year! I hope you’re settling into 2021 ok without too many bumps in the road. January can be a good time for easing into the year, figuring things out and not being too hard on yourself.

If things aren’t going to plan, that’s completely ok. Try to be kind and patient with yourself. And if they are going well, make sure you remember to be grateful and celebrate all your wins (big and small!).

I’ve been working on creating some beginners content for people wanting to learn to meditate this year and also preparing to get back into 1:1 Life Coaching at some point. My website is still in the making. I’m hoping to have that up and running this year but I do say that to myself every year, so we’ll just have to wait and see if this is the year it actually happens! 😂

Anyway, enjoy your weekend! 💜

Here’s a little gratitude prompt for you this Friday. Take a minute to think of five things you are grateful for today.

They might be big things or small things. They could be to do with people in your life, pets, or nature. They might relate to creature comforts of the modern world, things that help you live comfortably or make you happy. The possibilities are endless and there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Just see if you can come up with a list of five for today.

To give you some ideas or help get you started, mine for today are:

1.Family
2.Friends
3.Nourishing food
4.Clean drinking water
5.Time to rest and recharge

It’s almost been a full month in this new season of Spring, or Autumn depending on where you live in the world.

Spring is commonly a time for renewal and Autumn can be a time for letting go. Whatever the season is for you, I invite you to take a moment to reflect and check in with yourself.

How can you renew your commitment to taking care of yourself?

How can you use this season to recommit to prioritising time for rest?

There is much wisdom in the cycle of each season, so much so that it can assist in the process of change and growth in our lives.

What would it look like to embrace the meaning of renewal or letting go in your life right now?

Something to ponder…

“Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness we know what to do and what not to do to help.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

We often associate spring time as the season in which plants flower and come into full bloom, but I love how for some, winter is their time to shine.

The pink is so vibrant on this Camellia flower in the garden at the moment! 🌸🍃

Taking some time to connect with nature (whether in person or even looking at pictures if you’re stuck inside) is so important for our well-being and can give us a much needed boost. Noticing through all the senses can enhance the effects even more.

Change happens slowly, over time with committed effort.

When you decide to work on transforming and growing as a person it’s all the stuff that happens internally that makes the biggest difference in your external life. The action you take off social media, off line, the inner resources you build up, the changes that happen in your mind and heart that can’t be seen.

It’s the self development work you do in the quiet moments that creates the momentum when you do the outer work in the rest of your life.

I see this with my coaching clients. Starting with small steps in their inner world and then creating meaningful changes in their outer world.

So remember change starts small, like planting a seed in your heart and mind, and it grows from there. It can’t always be seen, measured or appreciated by someone else, but you feel and know it’s happening which is an important awareness to have.

Are you going through personal growth and changes lately? I know I always am.

I’m muting myself this week in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). I’m taking time to be present, to listen deeply, and to learn sincerely. I see you. I hear you. You matter.

I’m following and learning from these incredible BIPOC creators and encouraging you to follow them too so that their voices are amplified:

Thank you all for your work and showing up in the world in the way you do.

Feel free to share more in the comments, my learning is just beginning.

Black lives matter.

I’m not using the “Black Lives Matter” hashtag as its misuse is taking up valuable space in the feed for people sharing timely and useful information to assist the cause.

Instead using the hashtags:

Taking action can feel overwhelming.

When we think of the future and where we want to be, especially when working towards an important goal or dream, we can sometimes have an all or nothing approach. It can feel so big and out of reach we can either procrastinate by putting it on the back burner or focus so intently on it we lose sight of everything else, including the present.

What helps me personally, and my coaching clients when we are working together, is breaking it down into really simple steps.

Taking one day,
one moment,
one step

at a time can help you move forward in an achievable, steady way.

Whether that’s making a start or continuing to work towards a personal goal, you’re more likely to have better results if you methodically take action one step at a time, rather than trying to take on too much at once.

Wherever you are in your journey, whenever you feel a sense of overwhelm taking over, ask yourself,
“What's my next step?”

Then breathe, and let the answer come to you. Once you know what it is, just focus on taking that one next step. Even if it seems like something small or insignificant, do it anyway. There’s no right or wrong way to do something and you will be moving in the right direction regardless of the perceivable “size” of the step.

When we stay connected to both our bigger life dreams or goals AND our present moment experience, we can feel more grounded and happy along the way to achieving what we want.

Tell me in the comments, what’s your next step? However small it may seem.

Here’s a really brief mindfulness exercise you can do next time you are about to drink your next beverage.

Whether it’s a cup of tea, mug of coffee, glass of water or juice, it doesn’t matter, just whatever you are drinking next.

First pause a moment and notice what it looks like,
notice the colour of the liquid,
any steam you can see coming off the top if it’s hot,
notice the shape and colour of the cup/mug/glass,
observe how it feels in your hand/s,
for example the temperature and texture of the outside,
next smell the aroma if there is one,
and
finally take a slow sip and really taste the flavour in your mouth,
notice what it’s like to drink in this mindful way.

Savour the experience of drinking your beverage with your full attention and appreciation, even for a brief time, before moving on with your day.

Let me know if you’re going to try this or if you’ve tried this before and will do it again.
