60 Days of Summer Self Care.
Day 43. Something NEW
There is nothing quite like the feeling of NEWNESS
Something
Someone
.
Somewhere
NEW
In moments of our life we might find ourselves feeling a little lack lustre, uninspired, stale, bored or frustrated.
I find newness can help me get of my funk.
I know this about myself
That I thrive on the feeling of newness
A new experience brings about a fresh energy for life
A new connection brings in new perspectives, new ways to see the world & refreshing conversations.
Nothing beats a new friendship
A new addition to the wardrobe makes you feel alive and excited again about getting dressed in the morning
A new item for your home, a new book to absorb, a new food to taste.
For me and my family, going places we have never been before excites us. Exploring new towns, discovering new cafes, finding new walking tracks.
All of it feels good. So damn good!
Newness doesn't have to be hard and doesnt have to cost a cent.
It could be as small as going to a different supermarket to do your groceries or engaging with someone new on your morning walk.
If we are not aware that newness has the power to transform our feelings or the direction of our day, we might not consciously invite it in
For me it sparks joy and ignites creatvity
Trying something unfamilar often is where growth happens within oursleves.
I know some people say they like predictability and routine and thrive on the familiar
But im curious to know if newness is part of a human need and some people have just got comfortable feeling comfortable.
For me routine and predictability often feels uncomfortable
Im curious to know whether those that thrive on the familar have simply forgotten how good newness feels
Please share with me, as hearing from others is what lights me up most... what is something NEW that you have enjoyed recently?

Day 4. Grab Your Keys and Go Challenge
Ok Recap Day Three...
Take a moment to see what is already good in your life, and if you are not there yet, be grateful for what you are about to bring in. It works the same.
Day 4. GRACIOUS EXIT

We are getting so close now. It's exciting but it can also be a little challenging!
You have something picked out, the reminder has already gone off, you have been focussing on what's possible and now the time is here.
It’s time to leave the mess, the busy household, the washing, the dishes, the children’s requests, the partners mood, your mood and move through the mother guilt, to make your way to your YES.
No matter what (unless a true emergency is occuring) you are making your gracious exit in this moment.
This is my favourite step, hear her story in the video below.
Nat and I get it. It's not always that easy, there are other things getting in the way of you saying YES to yourself.
So we put our heads together, our knowledge together, our talents together and our experiences, to invite you into a unique space.
A space for you to reconnect and remember who you are AND what you love, with support from a community of women cheering you on. Xx
It is still in creation, so we are on the lookout for founding members to help us with the finishing touches.
If this feels like the space for you, if you would like to be part of building this community with us, we will be opening the doors tomorrow.
Stay tuned...

DAY 2 - Grab Your Keys and Go Challenge

Ok Recap Day one. Find your gap and write a list of ways you can fill it with an activity that you love.

Step 2. GIVE Yourself a Reminder
Nat and I are well versed in the game of, ‘Oh it’s that time already, I'm not ready, there is too much to do, I don’t think I can do that thing anymore’.
It creeps up so quickly, because your mind has been conditioned to think of everyone else first!
We have a way to get your head back in the game.
Yep it's simple, but all the good things in life are.
Step two, put simply is to add a reminder/alarm in your phone/computer an hour before your Grab Your Keys and Go moment so that you can start to mentally prepare for your much anticipated activity.
This activity could be reading a book, painting, napping! (Legit activity in my house), going out for lunch, or a beach walk.

Check out my story in the video below.

Day 2. RECAP
Put the activity into your calendar
Set a reminder on your phone 60mins before the activity.

Check out our 5 Steps to Grab Your Keys and Go podcast episode released yesterday.

Today's bonus: Grab your 5 Supportive Steps to Grab Your Keys and Go Guide. (Link in the comments)

DAY 1. Grab Your Keys and Go Challenge

Step 1. GAPS
Check out the video for your first step!!!

It's time to say Yes to You, mess and all.

The first step is all about the possibilities. Mel and I call these 'The Gaps'.
It's the times in your week that you could create some 'You Time'.

However if you are not looking for them, you definitely won't find them.

Your task today is to:
Check out your week, see where you have a gap.
If there isn’t one, see what you can shift, look for things that are not a priority and make way to spend time with yourself.
Oh and if you are having trouble figuring out what to do at that time, make a quick list of things you love.

RECAP:
Find a gap in your week
Write down some ideas for things you could do in that gap and circle the best ones!!
Love Mel and Natalie xo

SO TELL ME AGAIN... WHAT IS A RETREAT?
I was hanging out with a good friend over the holidays. She follows all my posts. She intrigued by what she reads. So much of what I share resonated with her, but then she came to ask me… tell me again…. what actually is a retreat? I still don’t really understand.
There and then, it dawned on me. This blissful world I know and live in every day where wellness, retreats, holistic spaces, healing, sound baths , journalling, breathwork, meditation, women’s circles and spaciousness is now my every day.
It would have only been a few years back that I wouldn’t have known this wonderful world myself. I would have been just as confused with what a retreat really was.
So I thought it was time I painted a picture of these wonderful things we call “RETREATs”
Soul Presence Retreat is a place and time for you to release, relax and reconnect. A time for you to choose YOU again, prioritizing yourself sometimes for the first time in a long time.
They can be what you make them to be. You get out of them what you choose to put in.
They are a beautiful reset, a chance to press pause, recharge and reconnect within yourself.
Some people like to say they can be the start of the ‘coming home to yourself’
Where relaxation meets transformation. Where day naps, soul searching, deep and meaningful on the way to the bathroom, choc consumption and PJs til lunchtime are a perfectly acceptable activity.
Some guests like to say the retreat was just like a spa day for your mind, body and spirit.
A blissful escape where you can prioritise your well being guilt free and practice the forgotten art of ‘receiving’.
Imagine a space where everything is taken care of for you, with plenty of spaciousness to take in all the goodness.
Retreats can act as a circuit breaker, a break from the routine of life where we sometimes find ourselves on auto pilot, micro managing all the daily tasks and time commitments. Lost in the busy - we now to choose to find ourselves.
Still a little unsure what to really expect? Well stick around as we share with you a few little snippets to paint a clearer picture over the next few days.
You might even come to realise that a Retreat could well be the missing piece of your puzzle.
