Meet Pippa, my client, who chats with me about how both coaching and Pilates really helped her journey back to "Becoming Her"

Often our bodies hold the score of trauma and we just need to let go.

If you would like some help to release your trauma and get involved in my "Becoming You" programme just comment below or send me a DM.

I offer a FREE Discovery session too.

Working to gain greater knowledge is so important to me. It gives me more tools and resources to help my clients.

Celebrating our achievements is so important too ❤️

Thank you to those that helped me and to me for believing in myself 💞

When you have had an absolute "pig" of a day ..(sorry lovely piggies!)... But, you have also had the most beautiful and amazing day....

Choosing where you put your focus is your choice...
It takes practice...

I found today so difficult.

I had an absolute assault on my senses and it was really raw.
But...
I have the resources to shift my focus, ground myself and give gratitude 😍

I saw the sun rise, the sun set, the beauty of nature and had a beautiful gift from a student.

I am blessed ❤️

What doesn't break us, makes us stronger 💪
You got this. You got your back. I've got your back 😍
Change your posture...
Dance in your kitchen...
Take a walk..
Do something you love doing...
Do absolutely Nothing!!!

Do you struggle to meditate, do breath practice, or relax?

Our monkey minds , thoughts or emotions often creep in and take over don't they?

Instead of trying to stop them, push them away or distract yourself instead turn towards them. Yes, you heard me right!

Allow them to come, be heard and gently leave like ripples in the stream....

Then quietly, softly with kindness return to your relaxed meditation or breathing ...

Keep repeating the process as necessary...

You got this..

Breathe in the good s**t...
Breathe out the bad s**t!
😜😍

This poem resonates with us all and I have been sharing it with my clients this week.

Beautifully written by Donna Ashworth...there is a link below 👇

Enjoy...

Sadness came to tea last night
as she’s often done before
but I didn’t let her in this time
I stopped her at the door

“I’m off to meet with friends”, I said
“your timing isn’t right
I can’t allow your atmosphere
it’s not the place tonight”

but sadness wouldn’t take the hint
her manners lack finesse
her pace was slow and heavy
yet she kept up nonetheless

and even when I took my place
amongst my laughing friends
she squeezed herself right in-between
her boldness never ends

and I was sure my friends would see
this spectre at the feast
and somehow think me lesser
for inviting such a beast

but no, their warmth was undeterred
as if nothing was new
I think perhaps they know by now
I sometimes come as two

and even sadness seemed to glow
a lighter shade of grey
to know that she’s accepted
seemed to lighten up her day

so let your sad accompany you
don’t think her hard to bear
no need to face her all alone
just pull an extra chair.

Giving gratitude every day....with reflection.

What happens when you give gratitude?

What happens when you don't give gratitude?

What doesn't happen when you don't give gratitude?

Ask yourself these questions...????

Giving gratitude brings joy, can shift our mood and prepare us for the start of our day, can shift a grumpy mood or prepare us for a peaceful deep sleep.

Reflecting back for me here are two pictures.

The first I came home to and was a gift from a beautiful client and friend that touched me and moved me to tears. A handmade card of my two dogs...and many of you know I lost my beautiful girl just before Christmas.

The second is of my mum again around Christmas time. We had a few fleeting hours of fun at the seaside when I saw the old mum I knew and loved.

Thankful and grateful for both of these. Neither are materialistic...

The first was precious because time, love , care and thoughtfulness were part of this gift.

The second held memories of special times, love, connection and joy of being in the moment.

Treasure in both

Does this resonate with you?

All the gifts, money and materialistic things in life could not have given me these and these were my best Christmas presents this year together with togetherness with those important to me. They are my family, my friends and my community.

That's you, if you are reading this!

"It is not joy that makes us grateful...it is gratitude that makes us joyful"

Today I was grateful for this beautiful walk on the beach in the winter sun.
I saw a murmuration, heard the waves, tasted the salt in the air, felt the wind tossle my hair and I felt truly alive and in the moment.

Giving gratitude is so important to me. I have been sharing this practice with my clients in a meditation of "Drifting of with gratitude"

Follow these simple steps for yours ❤️

Focus on your breath as you settle down to sleep and relax into a comfortable position.

After a short time take your awareness to your heart and begin to shift to Gratitude.

The best way to fall asleep is to shine a bright light on all the good in our lives.

Breathe in gratitude and exhale appreciation for all the simple things in our lives, like food in our fridge, hobbies, work, a walk, reading a book.

Our family, friends, pets and their support and encouragement. People who know and love you and are constant.

Breathe in gratitude and exhale warm feelings of love and kindness to them and allow this ripple to spill out into the world 🌎 for all to share and pass on.

Add in your own personal gratitude's....and as you exhale, let go allow your body to soften even further. Grounded and still, knowing this moment is all you need as you drift off to a deep, deep peaceful sleep full of gratitude. ❤️

Warmest sunshine wishes always
Melissa
