Wellness Journey

31/12/2025

As I cleared my cabinet of some old makeup I haven't been using, I had a thought...

"What else should I be throwing, that's no longer serving me well?"

Not just physical items, but habits, thought patterns and behaviours too.

We shouldn't be carrying everything with us into the new year, just because they're familiar, or have become autopilot.

Here's wishing all my connections and followers on LinkedIn, a great start to the new year in 2026.

More importantly, the image of open hands represents:

☑️ Letting go of what no longer serves us, letting go of grudges and unhappiness.

☑️ Being open/ready to receive new adventures, perspectives and opportunities, even if we don't know exactly what/when/how it's going to be like.

Cheers to 2026! 🥂 🥳
I'm looking forward to continued growth in my work at Wellness Journey, providing quality counselling, online courses, wellbeing workshops and retreats!

It's increasingly clear that the current reality of work involves pressures from multiple sources and relentless changes that employees are struggling to keep up with.

Across all industries - healthcare, social services, finance, tech... 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀.

So how to sustain, if you can't step away from the job completely?

Consider redefining your boundaries, work out a feasible way to balance what matters to you and your wellbeing. It's either you adjust or you end up sacrificing your health - which is never ever worth it.

On 16 August, our first mini retreat-style event took place at Tea Time 茶侍 - combining relaxing ambience, wellness strategies and delicious food.

We practised tuning in to our body through mindful movement, activating our awareness and sense of balance.

We enhanced our appreciation of the ambience, using our 5 senses to soak in the relaxing vibes and warm comforting sips of Chinese tea.

We helped each other gain insights on how our daily habits affect our mood and energy.

As one participant said, "I'm not used to slowing down like this." Others agreed, life tends to be a constant hustle of responsibilities and numbing, automatic habits.

Yet, by the end of the session, they all felt the intentional slowing down gave them a much needed reset.

✨💡✨
The common takeaway was to be more intentional, more mindful in their daily lives, and make better choices that balance their wellbeing.

I'm pleased to announce the launch of my first video course!

It's designed for you to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦.

There's no exciting bells and whistles, flashy captions, popping elements to grab your attention. Because there's TOO MUCH of that in our lives already.

The 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 around us has 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱 and 𝗱𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱 our senses, we are constantly seeking more to feel the same highs, and ignoring signs of problems until it blows up in our faces.

Mindfulness brings us back to the basics of what it means to be 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻.

To feel the full range of our human experience, without denying those little signals and
without getting overwhelmed by the intense ones.

To see the world with more curiosity and compassion, instead of judgment and competition.

When we are calm and balanced from within, we navigate the world with more wisdom and ease.
