In the Pursuit of Wellness

What hormones and sleep deprivation has reminded me

This life skill is actually one I've been taught before, but as I get older I realise it is the ultimate lesson and one that life will keep bashing me over the head with. That is: acceptance.

Find your flow

Flow is when you have that magical experience of becoming so immersed in your focus on a task, be that for pleasure or work, that you forget about all other distractions, including the time! I know I am in flow when I am not conscious of where my phone is - tragic, I know.

Context matters

Research has proven time and time again that motivation cannot be relied on when creating new habits. That is why I am so obsessed with consistency. Once you have confirmed an aspiration or goal is genuinely aligned and something you want on a soul level, then consistency is the only way to arrive there.

How gratitude can change your physiology 

Gratitude allows you to become more cognisant of all that you have. It is easy for our possessions, achievements and special people to be taken for granted. But if you take the time to be intentionally appreciative, you'll be amazed at how much abundance you really do have already.

How I went from chronic illness to a romanticised life

How I went from chronic illness to a romanticised life:

I was ultimately diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome but it took almost a year for that very vague label. I let go of needing to name my experience - it was eventually redundant. It didn't change the reality of my existence. However that reality changed SO MUCH for me.

I genuinely thought I was going to die.

When I started getting better I felt full to bursting with gratitude. Not in a cheesy #grateful way, but on a soul level. I would shower my legs with adoration for carrying me to the art supply shop and home again. I was on cloud 9 when I simply had enough energy to paint.

Sliding doors

I pushed my son up the hill and saw this patch of grass near a couple having a picnic. I sat there when I was newly sober and shook with grief and pain that I had numbed for so long. I starred at the pub in eyesight and tears ran down my cheeks. I didn’t know how to exist without escapism. I imagined walking into the pub and beginning the descent into freedom from my thoughts. However I now knew that it would ultimately only exacerbate my pain. And so I was stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Self-care during silly season

Ooft. December is a challenging month when it comes to wellness and self-care.Yet arguably it is a month when we need it most.

Our calendar is suddenly full to bursting. We're exhausted from all the socialising (as nice as it sounds in theory). It is darker and colder for those in the northern hemisphere. We are uninspired to honour our fitness routine. Work deadlines are mounting. People are drinking more, which might make you feel pressured to as well. And we're supposed to be having the most fun we've had all year.

Why consistency means being imperfect and restarting.

Instead of fixating on perfection, let's shift our focus to the willingness to restart. Life happens on life's terms, and we all make mistakes along the way. It's not about avoiding failure; it's about how we respond to it. Embracing the willingness to restart means acknowledging our missteps, learning from them, and moving forward with renewed determination.

While a little bit of stress can be beneficial, too much stress can have a negative impact on your mental and physical health.
