Training that is effective and beneficial, to a person and organisation, is more than an information dump. The integration of the required knowledge and skills is critical for effective task ex*****on. 🙌 When learning something new ensure the learning also includes application practices. 👩‍🏫

Logic doesn’t always make everything alright. 😣 The beauty of being human is that we are a complex construction of many systems and sometimes those systems glitch. 😳 But hey, don’t stress, that’s why we Kinesiologists exist…🙋‍♀️…to move you through the experience or neural loop so you are free to live and enjoy your life. 💃🤩🙌 Life doesn’t need to be hard. 😮‍💨

Anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else yet you are the only one who gets burnt. 😮‍💨 Drop it NOW!!!

Whatever you are feeling or doing right now … it makes sense in the context of you. 🤩

You don’t owe anyone perfection nor explanations. Simply be you, do your best, and that is ALL that matters.

{Sunday 18 January} It might be uncool to tell you that I am not 100% comfortable with how my body looks but I will loudly tell you that I absolutely love what my body can do. 🙌👏💃🤩

PS Failure is simply feedback so you can adjust the path to your goal. 🤗 Don’t hold back…life is too short.

I second what Scott Clary has to say here. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Your life is happening right now. Not after the promotion. Not after you lose the weight. Not when you finally feel ready.

Now.

Most people treat the present like a waiting room. Just killing time until conditions improve.

→ “Once I make more money, I’ll relax”
→ “Once I’m in shape, I’ll put myself out there”
→ “Once things slow down, I’ll enjoy it”

Things don’t slow down. Conditions don’t magically improve. The goalpost just moves.

I’ve met plenty of people who hit the milestone they were waiting for. Same person on the other side. Still waiting for the next thing before they let themselves enjoy it.

That’s not ambition. That’s a habit of postponing your own life.

The future you’re banking on isn’t guaranteed. Today is.

Stop waiting for perfect. Start with now.

Absolutely!!! 100% spot on with the platitudes, kindness and compassion. THIS is how you deserve your inner dialogue to speak to you. If it’s not; time to change it up Beautiful because you deserve better. 🤗

Small changes culminate in big progress. 🤩

Question: Is it possible for me to be less judgmental/critical of others when this is the type of environment I was raised in? 🤔

Answer: Hell YES 🙌 PS I am sorry you experienced this criticism and negative evaluation at the hands of your life role model. ❤️‍🩹

➡️ Negative behaviour such as this is used by the perpetrator to manage personal insecurities yet is detrimental to the children growing up in the home, hearing such comments, and being personally criticised. 🥺

Social media is chockablock with perfect, shiny, happy moments. Let me keep things REAL. 🥴

I’ve worked really hard to ‘slow down’ over the last eighteen months. My country mate would chip me about rushing and being from north-western Queensland, well, life runs on a slower schedule out there. People move more slowly, take their time and talk a bit slower, they live with greater awareness of each day, and connect beautifully each time they bump into each other as there is always ‘time for a yarn’.

I have lost count of how many times he has told me, ‘See? If you’d just slow down…’ So I’ve been really proud of my imperfect progress to date and then today … I’ve had a good stuff up. 🙃😩

This morning, I rushed getting a load of laundry on. 😬 In my haste to top up the automatic liquid dispenser in my washing machine (the low level alert was flashing‼️) I failed to realise it was NOT laundry liquid I added but rather - once bubbles were going crazy 🤪 - that I had in fact filled up the whole dispenser with DISH LIQUID. 🙄

Yep, ‘slow down, just slow down will you?’ I can hear him saying and oh my, don’t I wish I could turn back the time and take note of the bottle label. Alas, too late. 🤷‍♀️

Now I have created myself an additional job of flushing out the dispenser and the machine, rewashing the clothes and thinking 🤔 ’Man, I wish I’d been more present this morning and focused on the task at hand.’ Too late for that now but I’ve been curtly reminded of the importance of slowing down and being present. 💝

Let this be your gentle reminder to not be like me 😆 and take a moment to chill and slow down. Enjoy life. 🤗 Smell the roses. 🌹
