Do you have 8-minutes …

🌿 Wellness Tip - 8-minute check in 🌿

Sometimes when things are a bit overwhelming - what we need most is connection, being listened to.

Simon Sineks 8-minute rule is a beautiful reminder of this. It’s a gentle reach out for support when you are having a hard time. Just say “do you have 8 minutes?” It’s a simple meaningful code that let's a friend know you need a listening ear.

It’s not about fixing. It’s about being present, intentional listening and a calm connection.

At Jiva Rise, we understand the importance of connection. A heartfelt pause shared with someone who truly listens, reminds us of belonging.

✨ Try this today

- Offer someone 8 mindful minutes of connection.
- Tell your friends and make this a code between you

🌸 When we take a few meaningful moments to pause, connect and show up for one another - we rise together 🌸

Changing directions

Years before I graduated high school, I had a career in mind. I don’t know where the idea came from originally.
It may have been mine.
It may have been passed down the generations, or perhaps a missed opportunity by someone else.

It does really matter, because I worked (3 years at uni) to achieve the goal, but knew very quickly it was not for me and left in less than 2 years.

To say I was lost was an understatement.
I had carved my identity in this profession.
The energy behind any other idea I contemplated was swiftly flattened with:
‘You have to be REALLY smart for that’
‘Why not keep it a hobby so you will always love doing it’
‘Girls don’t do that’

Well meaning input from onlookers help shape our identity in the younger years, just as much as (social) media, friends, partner influences us as adults.
There comes a time when there is a yearning for different.
When we are called remember our true path and calling.
Sometimes, it can take chaos to trigger this - a crisis of sorts, job loss, relationship breakdown, illness, loss of a loved one.

BUT what if it was possible to make change before the chaos?

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it,” Nelson Mandela

Taking up a new hobby, changing jobs, starting to run again, moving towns - these are all things I have done over the last three years - not because I have been courageous but because my heart felt heavy at the thought of no change.

I had thought to myself one day I would
‘Move to the country’
‘Run a half marathon’
‘Complete my masters’
‘Learn to ride gracefully’

But I didn’t have a plan on when. Perhaps deep down I didn’t believe I was capable of or deserving of all these things.

But then one day I thought to myself … what if you are stronger than you ever imagined.
What if there is no limit to what I can achieve.

There had been a series of events leading up to this point that were excruciatingly uncomfortable and through these events I learned to choose ME. I acknowledge those who showed up in my world at that time when it was not shiny and fully of rainbows, and I learned to prioritise what makes my heart sing and not what I thought others expected or needed from me.

I open the invitation to you to begin to CHOOSE YOU. What would that look like??? If you would like support working through this then let’s connect.

In November, I am offering a 4-week program where you will deep dive into COURAGE and your personal version of what this looks and feels like in your world. It will include 4 1:1 sessions online with me, creative worksheets and goal planners.

PM to book your place for the introductory price $256

What a blessing to be busy.

The last month or so has been a little different for me with buying, moving, going to pony camp. So many amazing opportunities and experiences while also continuing to work, serve clients, tend my ponies and parent with a milestone birthday in between. As the year end fast approaches I felt to share some tips on navigating the busy seasons of life.

If your also in a ‘busy’ season, here are a few insights to help maintain/ create balance:

1. Prioritise Needs: We can’t always do everything, and sometimes the best way to move forward is to make a list of your most urgent commitments. What needs your immediate attention? This can help reduce the feeling of being pulled in too many directions.

2. Set Boundaries: Communicate openly about your limits. It’s okay to say no to additional responsibilities if you’re already stretched thin and it’s ok to pause and have a rest afternoon or an early night amongst everything.

3. Practice Mindfulness: Take a few moments each day to center yourself. Simple breathing exercises or a short meditation, colouring a picture can help restore calm and clarity.

4. Ask for help! Involving your friends or family in tasks can lighten your load and foster a sense of teamwork. Organising someone outside your normal network - either paid or a service such as woofing.

5. Schedule ‘Me Time’: Even 10-15 minutes of self-care each day can make a significant difference. Whether it’s a walk, reading a book, early morning cuppa at sunrise or indulging in a hobby, prioritise that time for yourself.

The last few weeks I am being inspired to add more play and whimsical into my life.

When I sign in at my job, in the purpose column, instead of writing ‘work’ I include something like ‘divine creation’ or ‘magic’.

When I need to navigate down a hallway full of packing boxes and furniture I ‘commando crawled’.

Now I want to write letters and send postcards to people, but I don’t have anyone’s physical address because my address book long ago departed as technology moved in.

If you would like a letter or postcard, feel free to private message me your address and possibly your birthday so I can bring back the art of birthday cards too.
