THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

A number of years ago I went on a weekend away with a group of woman who I was getting to know. It was such an awesome weekend get away...always is with girlfriends right. One night we decided to play a game of truth....ohhh truth! Ekkkkk scary. We all took a chair and questions were fired at the us to answer. If, it was NOT OUR TRUTH, we got to stay seated where we were. If it WAS TRUE, we had to get up and swap to another seat with someone else who's truth it also was. We

When you think about freedom what comes to mind? Freedom for many is to be able to do what ever they want in life, To be able to come and go as they please, travel the world, And, yes of course, there is definitely freedom in that. But for me true freedom is this... Having strong healthy boundaries in all areas of life, Having open and honest conversations, even the most challenging of them. Saying No to anyone for the things that don't fit well for you. Asking for your nee

The woman I love to work with are the ones who are done pretending like they have it all together. * No one has it together fully, completely, everyday, always. The woman I love to work with are the ones who are open to being honest in how they feel and what they actually want. The woman I love to work with are the ones who have their hands up to their mask ready to reveal their truth to herself and to the world around her. She's the woman who... No longer wants to feel b

Attachment will suffocate you and those around you. We can become so attached to many things in our life. Attached to our partner, Attached to our friendships, Attached to our work, Attached to our children. Thinking we need them and they need us. And in some cases sure...we all need one another, we all require and love connection. Yet attachment has no freedom. When I was married and even in my past relationships...I relied so much on my partners. Not wanting space from th

Yesterday I challenged a lady to something that she felt scared to do, yet wanted to do. Her reply 'Oh f%#@' haha She was getting all flustered just thinking about it. She felt like she's still too early in her learnings to go there...still a beginner. We had a good laugh about it and then she accepted....ending with 'Dammit' She knew she was about to really challenger herself. So much can come up for us when we are stepping into a new space, stretching ourselves that litt

There was a time where I felt like a caged animal. Although calm on the surface, inside of me I felt so frustrated, my mind racing most of the time, All because I couldn't find it in me to express myself in the ways I wanted to. Afraid of not being accepted fully by family, friends and my partner at the time, Afraid of being different to those around me, I was so afraid to be me. And anytime that a small part of me came out...I'd apologise and closed back down. Until it wor

The body begins to ache, The jaw tightens, The stomach feels unsettled, The tension throughout your body is hard. You try to relax, yet nothing soothes the aches and pains. Your body is unhappy. And so you say to yourself, I must eat better, I must start excising, either begin or add more I must mediate, do yoga.... I MUST, I MUST, I MUST And then....then everything will be better. Then you will feel happy. Although they are good for you, this I do not deny And we all need

As the lids of her eyes closed, She set off on her journey through her minds eye. Ever so slowly at first, dipping one toe into her dreams, into her desires, Checking to see if it was safe to explore these parts of her. With every inhale, hope swept over her, With every exhale, she grounded more and more into her self and her truth, Every step she took, her world in her minds eye opened up. Baring it all, she danced, As the warm breeze wrapped around her naked body, she felt

Little by little, Bit by bit, Piece by piece We get to adjust things as we go. Us crazy little humans can become so used to being one way, That trying things another way, thinking there could possibly be another way, can find our minds throwing a wobbly. We can become so used to chaos that sitting in peace can be challenging, We can become so used to peace that it can take only a little to throw our mind into a spinning wheel. We can become so reliant on one person, we're
