The deeper side to self love and why every mum should have it

If I could champion just one thing for the Mums in my community it would be to love themselves.Self love is often conveyed in the vein of filling up your cup first so you can pour love into others. For me this is a great side effect of self love but it is not and should not be the motivational factor driving more self love.I whole heartedly believe that the driving force should be to champion the relationship you have with yourself, because at the end of the day that is the most important one in your life. Self love is not a physical thing that you have or a part[...]

3 things I have learned about myself from lockdown

I think we can all agree that 2020 was a bit of a rough ride and 2021 is seemingly following in its footsteps. It's easy to want to write it off and trust me when I say I have felt that deep wish to erase the last 12 months from my memory banks too. But much like some of the other challenging times in my life I am drawn to find the good, the lesson or even the silver lining. I'm sharing these with you not because I want to mask over the difficulties of the last year but to provide an avenue for you to perhaps explore your own breakthroughs or silver linings[...]

Why knowledge isn’t necessarily power

Although the phrase ‘Knowledge is Power’ is often accredited to Thomas Jefferson, the expression actually started with Sir Frances Bacon who said "ipsa scientia potestas est" meaning ‘Knowledge Itself is Power’. My personal view on this (and I know I’m taking this expression out of it’s original context) is that acquiring knowledge won’t create change for you. Knowledge Itself Is Power We are surrounded by knowledge in the modern world and to the extreme since the internet hit the masses. There are blogs (case in point), books on all subjects, m[...]

5 Valuable Questions to Ask Yourself to Gain More Clarity

Creating clarity is not a case of ‘haves and have nots’. It’s more about the approach you take to creating clarity that moves the needle. Not having clarity on what your next steps are can feel suffocating and exhausting. Your headspace is constantly full of ‘What ifs’ and ‘How do I’s?’ and ‘Can I actually do it’s?’. We live in a society that touts the abundance of opportunity and ‘If you want something bad enough you’ll find a way’. All well and good, but what happens when you don’t have a clue which opportunity is the right on[...]

The 3 pillars of self

Often when the subject of personal growth and development comes up the concepts of self worth, self confidence and self belief will drop in there somewhere. When you are in the season of being down on yourself or struggling to see wood for trees these concepts can seem entirely unobtainable and in way ethereal. In this blog I am going to demystify what these concepts actually mean, give you tangible ways to nurture each one and give you the kind of pep talk that will leave you wanting to take over the world! Self Worth Let me start by saying that self worth is a[...]

RE-PARENTING, SELF AWARENESS, THE SUBCONSCIOUS

July 19, 2020

what is childhood conditioning?

What is childhood conditioning? Childhood conditioning is the process of beliefs, thinking patterns or behaviours being learned and reinforced over time. These beliefs are imprinted into your subconscious by the age of about 8 and will form the foundation of what all other information gets filtered through. We learn these things through observing and interacting with our main care givers. Up until the age of about 8 or 9 children we like sponges, we are egocentric (believing things happen to us and for us) and our brain is in a Theta state (the same state you[...]

RE-PARENTING, THE SUBCONSCIOUS

What is re-parenting & how does it work?

When we are children up until the age of about 8 we are sponges. We just soak up information; how to behave, how to react, how to understand and express emotions, our belief systems and even our perceived limitations. The skills and tools that we have to navigate our world, the ups and downs, the wins and challenges are set out in these foundational years and are predominantly learned through our parents or whoever was our main caregiver when we were children. From the age of 8 onwards we begin to develop logic and critical thinking and will star[...]
