In the Pursuit of Wellness
Why good enough is good enough
For a long time in our hustle culture we have had perfectionism on a proverbial pedestal. We have believed that to be perfectionist is to be excellent.
Times are a changin', my friend. Perfectionism is no longer the aspiration.
Read on to find out why and what the alternative is.
Keep it simple
I have come here to share an epiphany I had this week.
Epiphany: Feeling content is actually super easy.
It is us that makes it hard. Hear me out…
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.

Statistically speaking, most of you will have dropped off with something by now. But we are here for effective change. We want actualisation. So let’s recalibrate.
Here is a quick strategy to support you in your journey. Ask yourself the following questions:
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 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.
Do THIS instead of setting New Year Resolutions!
INSTEAD of setting new years resolutions, revel in the feeling that you get when you imagine all of your answers to those ten questions and remember that vision. Hold this front and centre. The answers combined create a life. A life that is totally within reach. A life that you are entirely worthy of living.
What it really means to be of service.
To be of service is to let your light shine bright. Denying your true calling or playing small means denying the world of your unique expertise and brilliance. We were each made differently, purposefully, so that we can contribute in a special way.
You will fail if you don’t do this.
Vision boards are about two things. Clarity and intention. You don’t have to make a pretty looking board but I would implore you to take some time to get clear on what it is you want from the next 12 months. You can literally do this at anytime; in fact life often throws such unexpected curve balls that it is beneficial to update one’s vision to accommodate. And your intention is a commitment. It is the investment that you are ready to make in yourself, your life…. your happiness.
Why your self worth affects your goals
Your relationship with yourself affects your ability to see goals through to completion. If your self worth is low, how will you truly believe you are deserving of that success you long for? Here is how you can improve your self worth and your chances of achieving your dreams.
