Boundaries – a lesson in self love
Have you ever wondered….. Why am I still here doing this, when everyone else has gone? Why am I the only one that cares? I don’t want to do this and I’m getting irritated but I said I would. Why did I say yes when I meant no? I’m being told off and it has…

The Desire for Change

Dosage – our path to inner satisfaction.
Has your yoga teacher ever offered an intention at the beginning of the class? If yes, did it makes sense? Did you remember it throughout the class? What was your takeaway?

What happens to our cognitive flexibility when we don’t feel ourselves?
I’ve been doing a deep dive into decision making, how it feels for me when I have big decisions to make when I am aligned and when I’m not and when I’m in a hurry and just need an outcome either way! I’ve been considering how I feel when I’m coming up against change, and…

What it feels like when we have a purpose?
What do you want?!” Something I used to hear as a child but not always asked in a kind and open way. Not just from my inner circle but the outer circle too. It was more like a standard phrase that was used to move me on or away. This week I have been considering what it…
