The power of words

  Are you aware of the power of the words you’re using day in and day out? 🗣️  I was listening to my coach talk about this on her podcast The Mind School where she was interviewing a psychologist who said the term “experiencing depression” instead of “struggling with depression“.  A lot of people wouldn’t pick up on the intentional change in wording there, but this is something I do too.

The ups + downs of chronic pain

  Sexy photo isn’t it! 😂 That’s me in traction. I do this when the pain in my neck gets hectic.  About 11 years ago I wrote off my motorbike and landed on my head… that turned into a couple of bulging discs in my neck.

Heal your pain with forgiveness

    Last week I was chatting with a friend who is on a break from her boyfriend.    She was having a hard time dealing with it and was wanting to heal her pain, so I explained a process to her that I’ve found really helpful in the past.   It’s called ho’oponopono and it’s a Hawaiian mantra for reparation, healing and forgiveness.   The process is really simple ~ you bring to mind a certain situation or memory…
