Not all things come to those who wait, at times it takes work to fulfil the hope and dreams of better situations.

Being intentional and drawing attention to that what requires time, effort, discussion and work, will refocus the day dreaming, wishing and hoping that things will improve.

Have a go, write down what you would like to accomplish date it and start.

May each day bring a moment to reveal hope, grateful thoughts and stepping into the awe of being who you are, and the difference you make to someone else's life.

Yea 🎉the fault has been repaired, so emails will be cleared shortly.

I saw this cartoon this morning and thought yep it's all that we can do sometimes.

Take care it's still heavy rain in parts, and as we build towards this special weekend may you and family have time to remember those who went before you, are with you now and the legacy that is yet to come.

Take time today to pause, breath out, drop those shoulders and let go of what is causing the tension, which can include shaking the arms, jumping, doing a little dance around and let the body know all is ok, there is Hope and you are revaluating the process.

Letting go of what you can not change, or trying to please others expectations robs you of who you are in this moment.

Consider what is possible, make plans and in those plans create the space your body needs to pause, heal, restore and step forward.

Contact me for information on how to plan for the future at a pace that suits your needs.

New Premises
After 24 years of being in the Council building New Hope has moved, however I am still based in Waiuku.

Along with the excitement of the move, clients comments are 'The Cabin' is a lovely peaceful place, feels safe and comfortable.
The added pleasure of the Tui's visiting, singing and the other birdlife all enjoying popping down into the fountain to have a bath makes the time an experience not just an appointment with a therapist.

All courses will be held at a different venue and will be advertised, currently the 'Coffee & Catch Up' group is on hold until a venue is secured. ( please contact me if you would be interested).

If you would like to make an appointment contact Judy on 027 293 2517

At times growth happens despite the hard challenges.

Is your struggle creating a new journey, while holding on to what is no longer helpful.

Take time to explore and write down what you can ponder on.

The quote below is one I saw recently, take time to explore what where and when you have noticed that anxiety, anger, fear, panic have gripped you when you have had to make a decision?

Take time to notice, and write down the answer, then ask yourself, is this because I don't feel or think I measure up to the other person's standard, or perception of me?

Below the surface will be a belief about yourself and others opinions, have fun exploring the 'true you'.

If you would like to know more or book a session about exploring your authentic self, phone me on 027 293 2517.

Remember this is a fun exercise, as soon as the faulty belief starts to cause unease, stress, anxiety plus more, it is simply telling you something.

You are not faulty broken, hopeless or any of the other negatives that would like to sabotage your growth.
If anything you are more courageous, brave and wanting learn more, don't let Shame steal your truth.

May you look at each day as a gift, a busy life will still be busy the next day and after that.

Take time to pause enjoy what nature has set around you, let those in your life know you appreciate them and in turn rest on their appreciation of you, the thank you' s, hugs, gentle smiles and more.

Remember also, with the pressure of Valentines day there are 364 days to which letting those around know how much you value them. Money and gifts do not account for personal interaction, kindness and acknowledging the presence of the person or persons you are with.
