Here is a simple technique that can help you stop setting expectations on things that are out of your control πŸ‘‡

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying "I HOPE this or I HOPE that will happen". I know I do all the time!

When we do this on things that are out of our control, (the majority of things), we are setting an expectation, attempting to control the uncontrollable. This can cause problems long term, such as on our mood when we are constantly feeling disappointed, or feel like nothing ever goes right for us.

Sometimes it feels as though life is controlling us, rather than the other way round. When that happens, it's useful to ...

Sometimes it feels as though life is controlling us, rather than the other way round. When that happens, it's useful to remind ourselves that, while we may not be able to control everything that happens to us, we can control our reactions and responses.

Begin by writing down the thing that is causing you to feel out of control- "I am putting on weight" or "I have too much to do at work" for example.

Now make a list of ways you can resolve the situation, beginning each possible solution with the phrase "I CAN CHOOSE".

"I can choose to walk home rather than take the bus"

"I can choose to speak to my boss about my workload"

"I can choose to make healthy choices in the supermarket"

Marke sure you say each sentence aloud, it will help you connect with it and empower to take action πŸ’ͺ

Addiction to social media, phones, and the internet as a whole is a genuine problem that many people experience. There is no reason to feel ashamed, but it's essential to seek help when these behaviours become problematic.

Some signs that indicate the need for assistance include isolating ourselves from others, neglecting self-care, losing the ability to focus or enjoy activities we once loved, and experiencing mood disturbances.

It can either overwhelm us with emotions or leave us feeling emotionally numb. As a life coach, I specialise in helping individuals overcome various types of addictions, and it's important to remember that you're not alone. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out 🌼

What is our life's purpose?

This is a question that comes up a lot when I'm doing life coaching with clients. It's actually a question I ask myself regularly too.

We can't know for sure what the purpose of humans is on this earth 🌎 but we can try and figure what our individual purpose is 🌟

This simple exercise can also help us identify our values which serves as a compass, guiding us through life on what is most important to us.

Love in Micro-Moments πŸ₯°

With Valentine's day around the corner, we start to think more about the big L word 'LOVE' ❀.

The way we define and measure love is actually always changing. Research by Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson on positive emotions found that love can be achieved in MICRO-MOMENTS of connection with other people. This can be your partner, family, friends, neighbours, and even strangers.

A few seconds of connection with others triggers a flood of pleasant emotions. Oxytocin, the hormone of attachment and bonding also spikes during these micro-moments πŸ’‘.

Our Social Experiment πŸ§ͺ

After reading about this a few years back, my now husband and I decided to put it to the test and consciously practice 3 micro-moments throughout each day, "Time for an M&M" as we call it.

How does it work? It's so simple πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

The key is not in the length of time but in the QUALITY. This means that you and your partner both need to be physically TOGETHER, OPEN, and fully PRESENT in the moment. It doesn’t have to last long, just a few seconds can be enough for it to work its magic ✨

A few EXAMPLES include:

β€’ A long meaningful hug
β€’ Holding hands whilst watching a movie or lying in bed
β€’ Cuddling or spooning
β€’ Simple eye contact
β€’ Forehead to forehead
β€’ Having a good belly laugh
β€’ Saying I love you to each other

For us, creating these micro-moments meant that even when we were busy and didn't have much time together we would still feel connected and feel loved by one another πŸ₯°. If we ever did feel disconnected, due to stress or feeling blue, having a micro-moment would reconnect us right away.

These little moments are everywhere, not just with your partner but with everyone 🌍.

Remember you can CHOOSE to create more feelings of warmth and connection. Just like you get what you expect, you also get what you project. And what goes around, comes around πŸ₯°

What is happiness and a few things you can do to increase it? πŸŒžπŸ‘‡

These are just a few examples of what can help increase levels of happiness, there is also:

πŸ‘‰ connection with others, playing with our pet's or a really warm cuddle (releases oxytocin), laughing and signing (stimulates the vagus nerve), the sun, music, food, dancing and exercise (boosts serotonin, dopamine and endorphins) or perhaps you enjoy your job (gives us a sense of purpose).

There are so many πŸ€—πŸŒŸ......................

Just REMEMBER that happiness is an emotion and like all emotions, they only last TEMPORARILY, don't think there is anything wrong with you because your not happy permanently, its not really possible. Make sure you allow yourself to experience unpleasant emotions too like fear and sadness, they are important, they makes us human and equality they have important messages for us (I'm in danger or I'm missing something important).

πŸ‘‰ Reflect for a few minutes and think about what brings you feelings of happiness 🌞
*The 4 main happy chemicals: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphins.

Tapping into your inner warrior πŸ›‘οΈβš”οΈ

I've named my inner warrior Bella (might not sound like much of a warrior but trust me, she is badass πŸ’ͺ).

Bella is super strong, both mentally and physically, she can accomplish anything and believes in herself 100%.

Me as Sara, I will experience moments of self doubt and fear like everyone, fear of failing or fear of being judged.

When these beliefs and emotions start to become barriers in my life, stopping me from accomplishing things, I will call on my inner warrior for some help πŸ™‹.

Bella is always there ready to deliver and she never disappoints!

Tapping into this state of mind can really elevate you when you most need it and help you through the toughest times.

See if you can also start tapping into your inner warrior, they are already there it's just about digging deep to find them.

Would love to know what you would call your inner warrior, please share in the comments 😊

Often our Monday thoughts set the tone for the rest of the week, so how will you start week number 47? (I still can't believe we only have 5️⃣ weeks left of 2022 πŸ™ˆ)

Here's a few things to help you today :

βˆ† Remember your still here after everything you have gone through, your stronger than you think!

βˆ† It's ok to pause and breathe!

βˆ† Remember all the lovely people in your life that keep you going!

βˆ† Pick one thing you would like to achieve this week.

βˆ† Remember you are human and you will make mistakes (accept, reflect, change and let it go)

Wishing you all success for your week ahead 🌺

It's Friday! πŸ’ƒ
Most of you have probably had a long week of work and looking forward to the weekend to disconnect and unwind 😌. Perhaps this weekend you can also dedicate some time to think about your goals πŸ“πŸ₯…β˜‘οΈ . You are actually far more likely to succeed when you set them whilst in a relaxed state of mind!

"Well begun is half done"- Aristotle

Having goals is part of being human, even though the path towards our goals might not always run in a smooth or very straight line. Goals are aligned with our sense of meaning and purpose and how engaged we feel. We don't have to be rigidly attached to the goal outcomes but they can certainly help keep us focused and moving forward.

Before you set any goals ask yourself these three questions.

1. What do I really want?
2. Why do I want it?
3. What actions do I need to take?

And don't forget to congratulate yourself and feel proud when you have achieved a goal! πŸ€—πŸ₯³

Your core values tell you what you consider most important or deeply meaningful 🌺. These personal values should reflect your life’s purpose and who you want to be.

Remember that every person's values will be different and unique, there is no right or wrong. Values also change all the time, try not to think of them as books that line up nicely on a bookshelf. They will continually shift and change positions.
