✨ Making Memories ✨

I’m back from a spellbindingly wonderful visit to Edinburgh having been visiting my love 💕

We hadn’t seen each other for over a month, which has felt like a long time! Especially considering the monumental changes I’ve been making to my life over the Summer.

We made the most of every minute - visiting graveyards, going on ghostly bus tours, listening to amazing choirs, climbing hills to see the views, going to fringe shows, eating amazing food, watching horror films. Basically just enjoying each other and all the things around us.

When I left my job earlier in the year, I was quietly determined to make conscious choices about how I spent my time. Dreaming of a life where I wouldn’t be spending most of my day wishing the day was over - where I could drink in everything around me without feeling resentful because I wanted to do something else instead.

It’s not been easy to stick to this - I think we’re genuinely conditioned to be pretty unhappy most of the time - but I can say with honesty that I’m getting there. And this past week or so has been an absolute joy.

There’s nothing like graveyard visits to remind you of where we’re headed. We only have one life - how dare we even contemplate wishing it away.

✨ Extra Baggage ✨

I think it’s safe to say that most of us carry a bit of baggage - sometimes it’s stuff that we’re aware of, and sometimes it’s stuff that we’re completely oblivious to. Putting it down is sometimes easier said than done.

You may have seen my story about a parcel I picked up a few days ago...

It was delivered to a shop about 15 minute away, so I walked, but when I arrived, the parcel was A LOT bigger than I expected. However, it was light, so with a combination of different carrying techniques, I hoped for the best and started to make my way home.

I was almost at the end of my street, when I realised I'd just struggled with the massive box for no reason. Because in the box was a bag… I could’ve just taken the bag out of the box. And carried it. You know… like a bag. Furthermore, I had bought this bag to carry my ocean drum (for when I do soundbaths outside of the studio) because I usually carry it around in a massive cardboard box, which makes it a huge faff.

Talk about full circle! I was carrying a bag in a box, a bag that I’d bought so I didn’t have to carry around a box. That got me thinking about where else in my life I make things hard for myself, and it turns out that I think that’s a bit of a thing!

But… if there’s anything that I’ve learnt over the years, it’s that collecting sticks to beat myself with isn’t much use. So instead of looking for ways I’m making things hard for myself, I’m concentrating on ways I can make things easier. Sound good?

And this led me to pondering on the five Reiki principles and how it seems that their aim is to make things a little but smoother and calmer.

Just for today, I will be free from anger
Just for today, I will be free from worry
Just for today, I will be grateful
Just for today, I will do my work honestly
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing

What do you reckon? Are these a guide to a simpler life - a way to drop the baggage?

If you'd like a helping hand, or to learn more about Reiki, I can absolutely support you with that 💕 (However, I can't promise that you won't still make silly mistakes like carrying bags in awkward boxes!)

✨ Habit Loops ✨

This week, I’ve been thinking about habit loops and how they show up for me and for others.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about - a habit loop is when we do something familiar - like choosing the same parking spot every time we visit a certain place.

I got thinking about it after a woman used a gym locker ridiculously close to me (you can read about that in a previous post) and I’ve been mindful of habit loops ever since.

In the latest blog on my website, and in this weeks newsletter, I share how even when I was thinking about habit loops, I still almost followed one through 😂 but today, I want to cover the ways in which consciously breaking habit loops can be helpful and even beneficial for us.

Without a doubt, habit loops can provide us with a sense of control, comfort and familiarity. It’s helpful to sometimes know exactly where we are, and what the specific outcome of something will be. However, it’s also a form of attachment and when we’re attached to a specific outcome and rigid in our thinking, things can sometimes start to become a problem.

As humans, many of us don’t like change, however, change can help us to be more resilient and adaptable. Being aware and changing up our habit loops can encourage more mindfulness in our day to day activities and can lead us to being more creative - after all, if we remove things having to be done a certain way, we can open up new ways of being and the world is our oyster. Ask yourself what would happen if instead of doing it the same way, you did it differently. Liberating, right!?

Furthermore, weakening our automatic actions and responses by doing something different can be helpful when it comes to other automatic responses and habit loops, like reaching for a snack when things feel overwhelming.

Breaking habit loops is good for us and we all have small things we can practice with until the bigger stuff feels less scary. In short… use another locker lady! The world won’t end! 😂

✨ Creatures of Habit ✨

Aren’t we human beings funny creatures!?

The other morning in the gym, I was getting dressed after my shower when a woman arrived nearby. The changing room was quiet and despite having the choice of many more lockers, she chose to put her stuff in the locker directly behind where I was standing. Literally about two foot away from me.

I don’t enjoy people being in my personal space (especially when I’m putting my bra on 😂) so I had to move out of her way.

I said I’d give her some space, gathered my stuff and moved around the corner to where there was a further 50 odd lockers and NOBODY THERE! She assured me that it was okay and that she was just putting stuff in her locker. No clue as to why getting in someone’s personal space would be a problem.

And I think I know why - because that was ‘her’ locker. The one she uses every time she goes to the gym. It probably never even occurs to her to use a different one.

I get it - I used to have ‘my’ gym locker. So I’m not judging (well, maybe I am a little bit 😂) but it really got me thinking about all the ways we play out rigid habits loops - unconscious behaviours.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole… I share more about it, and about my unconscious habit loops in the latest blog on my website (link in bio).

In the meantime… where do your habit loops play out? And what can you do to try and break those habit loops?

✨ Boxes ✨

Life is full of labels and boxes - it’s how we make sense of the world and each other. How we find our way.

Sometimes it’s useful. Sometimes it’s not.

As a small business owner, I’ve felt the pressure to put myself in a box and give myself a label - decide who I am, and what I offer.

Clear marketing, clear message, clear product. Niching. Strategy. Plans.

The thing is… I don’t fit into boxes and I don’t want to. I’m really good at lots of things.

My abilities, gifts and offerings are a reflection of my life experience, beliefs and passions. And those things make me who I am. I don’t want to narrow them down to make it easier for people to understand. And I don’t want to choose one thing over another.

I am what I am, and after many many years of working through my stuff, I’m REALLY happy with who I am and the way I show up in the world. In all the different and varied ways.

But I can umbrella what I do… I support people going through life’s transitions, and I do that in loads of different ways.

Sometimes that looks like 1:2:1 work, grief coaching, reiki, meditation, sound. Sometimes that looks like death planning and working on our relationship with the inevitable. Sometimes that looks like group work, day retreats or bespoke private ceremonies. Sometimes that looks like teaching - learning reiki for yourself, and your loved ones. Sometimes it looks like me holding space so you can explore what you’re going through while someone listens with understanding and without judgement.

So many different things and different ways - because we’re all different and what works for one, doesn’t work for others.

Plus, I really don’t feel that the work I do belongs in a strict structure. Life flows and so should we. What do you reckon?
