A bit on body image... naked legs... embarrassment... post-preggers chubbyness... Why?!

a) body image is a big one for many when it comes to self confidence... so as I'm running a workshop next Sat 29th 'I Am Enough' ( www.mindfulbodymovement.co.uk/i-am-enough/ ) - I figured I'd share something honest about where I'm at

b) It's part of my new effort to just do stuff and not overly think about it... or spend too much time making it perfect... which I kind of achieved... ;-)

Oh - and in the making of this video I also realised I'd inadvertently covered a 2nd HUGE area that effects our 'not feeling enough' ... our sense of skill & competence... I'll see if I can post something on that separately...

but let's just say - I tried to make this video 20+ times and in the end just thought SOD IT - publish away... it's good enough... plus baby Finn was getting reeeeeally bored... which was bringing up feelings of not being a good enough mother lol

Sometimes self-awareness is exhausting ha ha!!

mwah x

ps/ if you're around on Sat 29th July in South West London and fancy a creative and experiential day's workshop looking at transforming self-doubt & low self-esteem - then do check it out...
It's also a pay what you want - so affordable for all ;-)

May be bit controversial however I pretty much agree with this article...

I say 'pretty much' because it's really blimmin long and wordy and there were a few points were I felt a twinge inside, but couldn't always be bothered ( 😂) to really check in and see if it was a point I disagreed with, something I didn't fully understand (it can get wordy lol and I've got the excuse that I have a baby) or if it was triggering part of my shadow 😜

Good read though.

Liked these two quotes at the end of the article...

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.”
~ Carl G. Jung

When one is habituated to see the things behind, one is no longer prone to be touched by the outward aspects – or to expect any remedy from political, institutional or social changes; the only way out is through the descent of an [embodied] consciousness which is not the puppet of these forces but is greater than they are.”
~ Sri Aurobindo

Considering the hype around the latest celebrity statement about Trump by Meryl Streep and the upcoming ritual to put “the man” into “power” officially (which will most likely result in protests by moral, upstanding patriotic citizens), I thought to repost what I wrote (trigger warning!) right after...

Feeling rather obsessed with truth / honesty at the moment... and this one from Oprah nicely merges with my other favourite theme - purpose & meaning. You've got to love oprah... knows how to add humour ;-)

I had the funniest realisation whilst walking down the road. I can really overthink (yeh I know, this is no revelation!)... I can really really overthink what to post on things like FB / blog posts / heck even text messages.

And the thing is, it doesn't really matter.

People will either like it or not like it (and I don't mean the actual 'like button' I mean the old fashioned 'like' as in what you feel inside lol).

So really the answer is do what you want... with the caveat of coming from a decent place / intention of course ;)

PS/ well aware this is no massive revelation.. but you know how sometimes it can feel like it's re-smacked you in the face? It did that ;)

I've been pretty absent on social media for a long time... in honesty I got a bit sick of it, then I felt a bit exposed, and then I didn't know how I wanted to engage with it... so thought I'd take some time out to figure that out... turns out sometimes clarity doesn't come and time can move rather quickly lol (so it's currently a sad looking page with a few events listed here and there 😶😬☺️ )

Well I keep feeling called to re-engage... so even though I don't have a clear focus... I'm going to follow my pull, which is saying to just get stuck in without the answers and see what happens. And as this also falls into my 'practice what you preach' category, I'm going to act on my intuition.

Thus, I'm back. And it may well be a rather creative messy missmatch whilst I find my facebook flow 😜

What I do know is this.

I'm committed to being on my path & following my intuition... and helping others to do the same. So this will be me sharing some of what my path looks like, and perhaps some of it will help you too. 😘
