😇 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY

At this time of the year, we start seeing end of year assemblies at schools and yearly wrap ups.

We coach our children that merit awards will be given out at end of year assemblies and they may not receive one, but the important thing is the effort that they have put in throughout the year.

Us adults need to remember the same.
Maybe this wasn’t your year.
Maybe your fitness goal didn’t get achieved.
Maybe work didn’t go as planned.
Maybe you spent the year just surviving. Just showing up.
 I see you.

I see you giving it what you have each day - some days that is 100% and other days it’s 25%.
I see you making small steps.
I see you dealing with loss, heart break and grief.

Don’t compare yourself to others and what they have achieved.
Just showing up is the achievement.
Be compassionate.
Go softly with yourself and take time to breathe and rest.
You don’t need grand plans or big goals.
You just need to show up for yourself in whatever capacity you have. That is your reward.

The art of practising patience

It’s the time of the year when patience can run thin! 😤🤯

I’ve seen it in shopping centres, car parks, on the roads and with life in general.

Let’s take the traffic for an example. You are sitting in line and you can’t go anywhere.
You just have to wait until the traffic moves 🚦
You have a choice here - you can toot your horn and yell 🤬 (make your situation worse) or you can take a deep breath and practice acceptance 😇
Sit in silence.
Just be in the moment.
You will get to where you want to go.
It may not be on your time line but you will move again.

When you come across a time in your life when you feel impatient with your progress or a situation you are in.
Pause, breathe.
Focus on what is within your capacity.
Time will pass anyway.

Do something for your future self.

At this time of the year, there can be a tendency to feel overwhelmed, stressed and tired.

There are extra demands placed on us with the end of the year looming.

To help with this, do something each day that your future self will thank you for.

This could be:
- preparing lunch for yourself
- Changing the sheets on your bed
- Setting out your workout clothes so they are ready
- Actually doing the workout 😉
- Scheduling in some rest time

Try to do one of these per day and see how it impacts on your mood and resilience 😇

These little acts are saying to the future you ‘I love you and I care about you.’

Notice the small joys 🌱

When life is hard, stressors are present, or you are having a nice day, notice the small joys.

Notice the good things that are happening around you.

Notice the people who are there for you.

Take pleasure in the little things.

Love this!

‘Lift others up.’

We are all trying our best.
Some of us are going through hard times.
It costs nothing to be nice.
To give a smile, a compliment, a word of encouragement costs nothing and could really make someone’s day.

😇 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY 😇

Somewhat similar to the serenity prayer 😇

It’s a nice little comforter to keep in your back pocket.

At the end of each day, practice gratitude for what you have and what is going well in your life.

Acknowledge there are things in life (and people) that you can’t change. Instead of trying to change them or live with regret, learn from them and decide what you want your actions to be.

Always have hope for the future: for change, better times, new experiences.

This is something I speak a lot about with clients. Our brains can change. Just because we have been told something for a long time (and we have come to believe it and repeat the thought automatically), doesn’t mean it can’t be changed.

Changing a negative thought or a self-criticism to even a more neutral thought changes your neural pathways 🧠

😇 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY 😇

In these days of social media, we often expect validation through views, likes, follows, comments… anything that tells us we have been noticed by someone else.

True confidence comes from within.
Be comfortable with you who are and choose your behaviours to reflect this without the need to be noticed by others.

This will actually help to build self esteem and make you more resilient because you won’t be so affected by what other people think.

12 years ago I took this photo whilst taking a run in my hometown (Wollongong, NSW).

It was the month before I made the big move to Melbourne.

A few years later it would become the logo for my business.

It reminds me that with every sunrise there will be a new opportunity.
A fresh start.
Hope.

I have used this symbol to get me through the toughest days in my life. I’ve used it as a reminder that no matter how tough it got, the sun would rise again in the morning and another 24 hours would begin.

If you are going through a tough time, remember the sunrise.
Take one day at a time 🌅

We often feel shame and regret in regard to our mistakes.
Mistakes are inevitable.

However, what would our life be if we erased all of our mistakes?

We learn from them.
We change.
We evolve.
We learn humility.
We grow.
We gain wisdom.

So forgive yourself for your mistakes, but also learn from them.
