●●● BREATHE THANKS ●●●

Try it .. How far do you get before other thoughts drift in & you become distracted? ⏰️

You are doing good 💪 You are training your monkey mind

Sometimes these cards can be a trigger, especially if living in 'challenging times'. Sometimes we have been in pain for so long it can be hard to find something to be thankful for especially if we see our body as the enemy.

Sometimes we have to start small .. like grateful for my skin that holds everything in .. 🤷‍♀️

Coming up against a rush of emotions of anger or unjustness is a natural reaction to long term suffering - Good job, You have identified a 'kink'; an algorithm that is running in the back of your mind that is blocking progress. Work with it, question your resistance, reason with it, then .. Look for things to be thankful for ...

& Remember .. Every day is a brand new day to re-set & start again. When we wake up each morning we pick Up where we left-off the night before ..

Make your last thoughts of the day good ones, full of hopes, desires & gratitude .. And your subconscious will work throughout the night planning how to deliver 🎯

APHANTASIA .. This is interesting. How many of you have a MINDS EYE?

The ability to see pictures in your head.

Apparently 95% of you, but it's still a scale.

A small % see nothing at all .. counting sheep is a mystery!!
But for others their minds can be an explosion of colour accompanying every thought.

Did you know that our Minds Eye is an integral part of our 'Learning system '?

The Fastest way to bring about CHANGE is to FOCUS on what you want using your conscious thought, emotion & Minds Eye. Some people are also able to 'envisage' smell & audio.

This is why Visualisation Boards & Affirmations work so well for some people.

The mind can't tell the difference between fantasy & reality, we create reality from our fantasy 😱
Our Thoughts & Minds Eye evoke feelings & the feelings evoke chemical reactions in the body.

MINDS EYE + THOUGHT + FEELING = SUPERPOWER

Old you keeps thinking & worrying about the same things each time your mind drifts.
New you is consciously replacing idle thoughts with NEW AFFIRMATIONS

Best time to bring your New You to mind is just as drifting off to sleep & just as waking up for the day. These are the times we are most intouch with our subconscious mind

My All time favourite affirmation is

EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY I AM BETTER AND BETTER ✨️

●●● PICK OUT THE POSITIVE WORDS ●●●

It is so easy to lose sight of the words we think & say. It is surmised that 95% of our daily life is run on habit. Habitual thoughts & worries that we drift back to time & time again.

These habitual thoughts & words are habitually producing chemical reactions in our bodies.

Becoming aware of our self-talk is the 1st step in reprogramming our minds & bodies. The words we think & say are literally the commands we are typing into Google & the algorithms we are getting back, the mind responds accordingly ..

Have you ever watched any of the bullying plant experiments? There are many!

When I started my healing journey, my self-talk was shameful & hateful 😱 I was forever name-calling & berating my body for its perceived inadequacies, little knowing that I was inadvertently adding to the problem.

We are biologically engineered for Love ❤️

Try it .. Get yourself a can of canned food.
Stand up & take a couple of deep breaths. Now start calling yourself names, stupid, thick, pathetic, weak ... Now lift the can over your head & hold it there, still calling yourself names.
Note how your arm feels & the weight of the can, or how far you managed to get ..

Put the can down, give yourself a wobble, perhaps stamp your feet, take a couple of deep breaths allowing the oxygen rich air to fill your Lungs & diaphragm ..

Now tell yourself how amazing you are. How Strong. Really appreciate all you have done to be here right here, right now ✨️ All you have survived & endured because You are Awesome ... now lift the can again over your head & note how it feels ..

This is AI narrated which is annoying. But it is accurate.
What is interesting about this particular short is that it not only breaks down the benefits of fasting 🔥 but also explains what happens if you go to far 🤯 ..... When a person has been suffering chronic stress for some time the body goes into a state of fight & flight, digestion & immunity are toned down, the body stops absorbing nutrients. After time it starts to eat itself as described within.
& before we know it we can't open jars & get blown over in the wind 😱

If you fast long enough, your body will eventually turn to stubborn belly fat for energy — but what happens after that point is something most people don’t u...

●●● CONCENTRATE ON ONE THING ●●●

Ironically I have sat down quietly in another room to pull a 'Stress-less', card & my son has followed me, 1st engaging me in conversation then talking loudly on the phone whilst my 3 year old toilet-training, granddaughter took a p**p, and I am reminded of the challenges of taking control in daily life 🤯

I honestly have no idea what Trump, Starmer or anyone else is up to, but I do know that thinking about them causes an unnecessary stress in me & that is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. So I don't 🤷‍♀️

Recovery from adrenal fatigue, fatigue, ME, brain fog, Chronic stress, chronic anxiety & probably a high % of insulin resistance & diabetes 2... all depend on bringing your stress levels down.

Change means change 🤷‍♀️ We have to think about different things than the things that we thought about before.

You can't just stop thinking about something without replacing it with something else, and that is where these little Card of the Day, exercises come in.

Every time we consciously re-focus our thoughts on our current action we are actively re-training our mind to our desired outcome.

Without a 💯 thoughts flying around, the body begins to calm & soothe

We all gotta start somewhere 🌱 The more often we practice calming the mind & replacing stress causing thoughts, the faster it will become the norm.

Remember to praise yourself each time you practice an exercise, each time you notice thoughts stressing your body & replace them ..

YOU GOT THIS 💪

Hands in the soil gardening has been shown in studies to improve & strengthen Gut Biome.
It has also been shown to reduce stress & cortisol levels.
Even if you don't have a big space Now is the perfect time of year to think about growing a few herbs. Here's 2 of my favourites ...

☆ Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a versatile medicinal herb, widely recognized for reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia while improving cognitive function.
It aids digestion, eases menstrual cramps, and possesses antiviral properties useful for treating cold sores, it has a calming, antispasmodic effect on the nervous system and heart. Makes a perfect tea 🎵

☆ Parsley is used in traditional medicine for its diuretic, digestive, and antioxidant properties, supporting kidney health, reducing bloating, and potentially aiding blood sugar/pressure control, while also providing vitamins K, C, and minerals for bone and heart health
