Our body is capable of doing some pretty darn hard things... I love that saying. But to elaborate even further, our body is not where strength originates, strength comes from a resilient mind.

Resilience can't be easily thought, for most of us resilience started out from our exposure to physical challenges from a young age. When we are young our brain develop at the same rate as our body. Complex movements like learning to running, jumping, climbing etc. builds strong connecting neurones within our brain and triggering it's pleasure centers every-time we accomplish something challenging. This opportunity to learn resilience becomes lesser when we spend less time in the playground and more time in the classroom. Mental challenges isn't the same when we don't pair them with the physical.

You might have heard of the yogic term ‘Chakras’ being mentioned before.
What used to be something coined as mythical now has correlation with science.
Charakas also known as Energy Centres are point in our body that houses energy that harnesses our body’s “natural intelligence”.

Where science, meets myth is that these energy centres ironically are situated very closely to points of our hormonal glands which influence with the regulation of our body’s natural ability self regulate and to support our automatic nervous system to function optimally for our optimal health.

This obviously gets disrupted by our struggles in stress management.

As a bullet journal user, there is so much we can share on how best to utilise our note books. This is one great tip I am implementing into my journaling this holiday season. Carving out moments for personal 'Me Time" seems so much more doable when written creatively!

A Sense of Self-Worth Posted on November 7, 2024November 7, 2024 by sheila.chapman@urbankandy.com The past couple of weeks was pretty interesting to say the least. There is lots of internal questions of “Am I good enough?”, “Am I likeable?”, “Was it something I did or something I said?”....
