When you’ve fallen off the bandwagon with your health, fitness, goals.. The guilt and shame that ensues can be overwhelming. 😌🫶🏼 I get it, I’ve been there many a time. But shame and guilt don’t actually get you anywhere. In fact, it can leave you feeling more stuck, more lost, more defeated than ever before.

I used to think that the only times I was ‘healthy’ were the days that I was 'perfect' in my health. If ANYTHING was out, I would not let myself believe that I was healthy, and I felt I needed to 'start again' the next day.. This is absolutely NOT the case!!

Do you secretly ~ hate ~ your self care practices? 🙈 (It’s ok if you do.. even if you struggle to admit it yourself (let alone anyone else)). Do you wish sooooo much that the thing that works for maybe your friend, apparently everyone on IG, your gym bestie, also worked for you..? *But it actually leaves you feeling like crap? 💩🙃 Drained, annoyed, hungry, bored, etc.

Breathing is probably one of THE most transformative tools I utilise (on almost a day-to-day basis) in one way or another, to regulate, calm, ground, and support my body, mind, and soul. 🪽 Read this blog to find out how I utilise breathing on a day-to-day basis.

If we think about how our current state (our weight, size, energy levels, etc.) are *generally* a reflection of our lifestyle and health status up until that point (more specifically our lifestyle and health status over the last days, weeks, even months or years), it makes sense then that in order to see or feel a shift within our state as a result of our recent changes in lifestyle habits (ie as a result of changing things up and adding in new healthy habits) it will TAKE TIME (days, weeks, months, or years) to see that shift on a physical, mental, and/or energetic level.

Stepping outside your comfort zone: An act that can at times feel like the absolute scariest and most terrifying option available to you- So much so that the mere idea of embracing it has you feeling that your life might end as you know it, and that you would be left totally exposed and vulnerable without knowing where to turn next or how to find your way forward.

If you have ever felt triggered by the idea of embodying a particular emotion, ashamed or put-down for expressing your sexuality, embarrassed for wearing certain clothes or for showing up a particular way, or even felt triggered when someone ELSE does/says/has a particular look that you wouldn’t feel comfortable expressing yourself, then lean into why. This is your shadow coming up: any area of yourself that through shame, pain and programming, you have learnt is not worthy, lovable, enough.

Have you ever noticed that the more something feels truly ‘right’ for you in your core, the more you fight it, run away from it, ignore it?… maybe even for years… or for your entire life? Read this to find out how to get out of your own way.
