Love love love this book so far 💪

As a chronic apologiser - especially when other people don’t “get” my goals or dreams, this book is such a good reminder that you matter, your dreams matter - and it’s damn ok to dream big ❤️❤️

As we gear up for a long weekend, share your favourite self care tip in the comments...

I’m hoping for a crackling 🔥 , maybe take the boys for a nice bush walk somewhere and then pottering in the backyard ...

What are your plans ?

What does self-care look like for you?

Good morning!!!

On Monday, I threw out a gratitude challenge to choose one amazing woman and let her know the depths of your appreciation for her.

Did anyone get a chance to do this? Would love to hear how it went!!

But it got me thinking to how we deal with praise when we are on the receiving end. I have always been terrible at receiving compliments - beet red face, awkward squirming, fumbled words. I wonder why it is so difficult for women (I am presuming I'm not the only one here who doesn't do this well) to accept praise. To accept the fact that someone actually thinks we are doing a great job at something, or we look nice, or our meal was divine.

I'm guilty of this all the time - someone will compliment my cooking and I immediately jump to 'oh don't you think it was too salty' or 'the meat is so dry'... etc etc... which leads to more compliments, which leads to more denying of said compliments and further awkwardness ensues!I

I've decided to come up with a few stock standards answers that can sit in my brain and pop out on autopilot whenever I receive a compliment. Such as "Thank you that's so lovely of you to say", or "I'm so glad you liked it".

It might sound ridiculous, but I think if we have some standard replies we can use, then eventually it will become less awkward to be on the receiving end.

And then who knows - over time, we may just end up believing what we are told!

How do you respond to praise - awkward fumbling, or proud acceptance? Let us know in the comments xx

Have a wonderful day

Good morning Aware Women!

Happy Monday | GRATITUDE

Gratitude has become a bit of a buzz word over recent years and while the concept has obviously been around since the dawn of time, there is mounting scientific evidence that incorporating daily gratitude practices into our daily rhythms can have a remarkable effect on our mindset and mental health.

Is this something you consciously build into your day? Do you use a gratitude journal? Do you silently whisper thoughts of thankfulness to yourself while driving the kids to school? When you acknowledge gratitude towards someone - do you then extend to actually acknowledge them personally and express your gratitude directly?

Today's challenge (should you choose to accept it haha) is to think about an amazing woman who you are incredibly grateful to have in your life. Why are they so amazing? What would life be like without them?

And then after you have thought about an amazing Aware Woman (or women - no need to limit yourself to just one woman!), I invite you to let them know. To either pick up the phone, or send an email, or have a video chat and express your gratitude to them directly. Let them know what an amazing friend they are and how much you appreciate them.

Imagine for just one second, how amazing you would feel if someone did this to you! YOU CAN DO THIS FOR ANOTHER STRONG WOMAN!!!!!!

So enjoy this challenge - nothing gives us the warm and fuzzies than knowing we have made a difference to someone's day and this is an incredible way to do that for someone.

If you have any Aware Women you think would enjoy this group, ask them to join! (I don't recommend just adding people because some people don't like that) - but tell them they can find the group by searching for Aware Women in the FB search bar.

Happy Monday Aware Women!!!

I'm beyond thrilled to launch my website tonight!

My vision is to support women to take charge of their life, love, happiness and health.

With a few tweaks I'm sure along the way, I'm pumped to now be able to offer affordable ONLINE counselling and coaching to women.

If you have a second to share or tag some beautiful women who you think may be looking for something like this, that would be amazing :)

Check it out here >> www.awarewomen.com

Hope you are having an amazing weekend :)
