It’s Time To Set Some Boundaries

Posted January 14, 2013

“Love yourself enough to say no to others’ demands on your time and energy” – Doreen Virtue’s Goddess Guidance Cards

This is usually what runs through my head when I’m asked to do something that I don’t really want to do:

“Aww crap, I really don’t want to do that.”
“But If I say no, they won’t think I’m a nice person …”
“But I really don’t feel like doing this …”
“Damn it, I’ll just do it. Grr.”

What’s that? You too!

How To Crush The Comparison Curse And Befriend Your Competition

Comparison is stifling. It stops us dead in our tracks, drains us of our energy in an instant, and keeps us separate from those around us. It makes us feel small and unworthy and hopeless. Even worse, it puts our dreams way out there; piling the success of others up around us tends to make us feels as though there’s still many a mountain to climb.

I realised something a little while ago: It’s not lack of information that causes us to make poor choices for ourselves. It’s not lack of knowledge that makes us devour an entire tub of ice cream while watching Gossip Girl on a Friday night. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve never actually thought I was doing my health a favour by downing two bottles on wine. No, it’s certainly not lack of knowledge that causes us to do these things. It’s lack of support, lack of guidance, lack of accountability, and the big one – lack of self love.

It was this realisation that led me to create my coaching program, The Lifestyle Transformation Guide, and it’s going deeper into this realisation that has led me to making one very important addition to the program: monthly coaching calls.

My 3 Guiding Themes For 2013

Posted January 7, 2013

Jess Ainscough

For the past three years (and actually a whole lot longer before that too) it’s felt like the dictating themes of my life have been structure, discipline and healing. Those themes served me then, being what was needed to initiate my complete lifestyle transformation, but I feel like I’ve now outgrown them. In fact, at the moment I feel as though structure is one theme that will work against me if I don’t let go of it to a certain extent. My body is craving freedom. It’s craving the unbounded bliss that ricochets from pure, unrestricted fun.

2012 Reflections: A Moment Of Celebration

I don’t know about you, but this guest post from Rachel MacDonald made me realise that I don’t spend nearly enough time celebrating my achievements. I acknowledge them briefly, but I’m usually too focused on moving on to the next goal on my list without pausing to give the previous one the commemorative space it deserves. So, that’s what I’m doing. Before I dive deep into mapping out what I want to create for myself in 2013, I want to take the opportunity of this blog to publicly celebrate the lessons I’ve learnt and the goals I’ve kicked over the past year.

How To Master These Turbulent Times

GUEST POST BY BELINDA DAVIDSON.

In my previous blog post, I spoke about how many people would find 2012, 2013 and beyond turbulent. They would find the rate and pace of change frightening and would fearfully resist the ‘great shift.’
When I ‘saw’ in 2006 what was to come in 2012, I knew that not changing yourself and your life was not an option.

Stop Wishing For Things To Be Different

“It’s easy to get lost in endless speculation. So today, release the need to know why things happen as they do. Instead, ask for the insight to recognize what you’re meant to learn.” – Caroline Myss

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to acceptance lately. I’ve been doing more yoga than usual, and while I love it, moving my body into downward dogs and chaturangas and other poses that call for hands to be pressed flat into the ground, automatically makes me wish that my left hand would go back to normal.

Are You Living Authentically? 3 Powerful Questions To Help You Find Out

GUEST POST BY CONNIE CHAPMAN.

I recently made a commitment to myself to live completely authentically. When I made this decision, I knew within my heart that it was time to shed anything and everything that was not in line with who I felt I truly was. All I wanted was to just be me, and to live my life as I had always dreamed.

Kombucha Addiction And My Osteopathic Shaman

GUEST POST BY BRIAN LEAF.

I used to have a Kombucha problem. Which came to a head when my wife kicked me in the head and broke my nose. That’s also when I met my shaman, Edmund. Let me start from the beginning.
