We don’t need to fix anything - we don’t need to fix our bodies or our trauma . We need to understand, accept and support what is , to nourish ourselves like we do for loved ones . I see this constant thing where we are trying to make ourselves “better “ let’s try to nourish ourselves into heather mindsets rather than trying to push and force change .

We’re conditioned to ignore our feelings - We are bred to “drive on” - “it’s only a flesh wound” lol . We are resilient and we soundly survive with out it - but eventually it catches up - maybe it’s our generation that sits with and deals with the difficult situations
We move quickly through hard things difficult feelings - pushing emotions down to survive , but it will come through eventually . Your body holds the score and it will call it .

Fed up of the daily grind ?How do you regulate your system ?
It’s all about leaning to slow down your nervous system . Stress , hormones, safety ,trauma all these things can have your feeling overwhelmed - you can be - hyper vigilant (a good thing as a mother sometimes ) you feel wired but tired / too busy / can’t sleep properly
All this leads to anxiety ,moods swings , weight issues , physical aches and pain, exhaustion and plenty more issues . There are many ways to regulate and they are all over social media - even that in itself can be overwhelming 🤦‍♀️.
Like most women I’m busy , self care is nearly a chore , something I have to do to function - but a few minutes in the morning to walk barefoot in the garden and admire the beauty will reset my system . Just noticing the dewy grass on my toes , hearing the birds and the ocean and feeling the rising sun on my face . All these things regulate your system - if you can take 5 mins to yourself do it . It’s about feeling things in your body , noticing sensations - that brings you out of your head and into your body - where the real info and relaxation is .

Summer cold going around ? This is a great way to get plenty fluids .

Skip the artificial sports drinks! For a simple, natural electrolyte boost, mix:
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup 100% juice (like orange, watermelon, or coconut water)
• 1 cup water (optional, to dilute)

Sea salt replenishes sodium and minerals, while juice provides potassium and natural sugars for energy. Especially important these days when the kids are training hard on hot days! 🌞💪

There’s a lot of talk about generational trauma , and yes we carry the pain and sufferance our ancestors suffered through , but along side that we inherited their resilience , their strength their knowledge - at your lowest ebb if you can listen, you’ll hear them whisper gentle support or sometimes a demand to get back up! . They are always there reminding us of what we’re made of - pure strength and resilience. For healing I believe we need to accept all parts of ourselves ,the broken bits and also the powerful bits we can leave anything to the side - we must embrace it all , with a sense of wholeness in ourselves .
