Oh yeah vs Oh Wow!

Yesterday I was at a park when I discovered 2 Wompoo Fruit Doves in a fig tree. I was so excited that I found the birds by following their unique sounds and called a Mum and her little boy over to see them. She looked up and said "oh yeah" with no enthusiasm and didn't show her child.

I then approached the only other people at the park and asked if they were into birds and whether they could tell me if they were Wompoo Fruit Doves- the four people joined me and said "oh WOW, yes they are!"
"Ohh look at how exquisite their feathers are!" "The colours are amazing! "
"Oh look there's more"
Thank you so much for showing us! It has made my day"

The contrast struck me... and reminded me that we can easily slip into approaching life with "oh yeah' and lose a sense of awe that is filled with "oh wow".

In a time when a lot of our connections have been restricted- it can be also used as a time to reflect on our approach to life.... have we unintentionally restricted our connection to the simple wonders of our natural world? Or connecting with a stranger? Of simply looking up? .......

A timely reminder.... times of stress can also become times of immense growth.

This is a video I made about my favorite story that I usually tell to anyone dealing with stress. The voiceover is from a video with Mr. Rabbi Dr. Abraham Tw...

Fear and anxiety are spiralling all around us at the moment and this week I've been providing Herbal Body Treatments to help nourish clients nervous systems and all have mentioned how relaxed and grounded they feel afterwards.

It is really important we find ways to lessen our stress to support our immune systems.

It's that time of the year when a lot of us have attempted to adhere to our New Years Resolutions, only to find we have 'fallen off the wagon' so to speak.

In getting back on track- it might be worth looking at what helps you keep motivated and feel supported------>

- some of us need a lot of variety and spontaneity
- some need to have a lot of fun and have friends on board
- some need a lot of time and planning to reduce the feelings of overwhelm and time spent in beautiful environments
- some of us need a lot of calm and time alone
- some of us need inspiring leaders to look up to
- some of us can't do it without our family support

We're all different.
What helps you feel motivated and supported?

After flying back from France, I dove straight into a 3 day incredible medical conference over the weekend, sharing with an intimate community of integrative doctors, futurists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, exercise scientists, nutritionists, fellow Naturopaths and one of my greatest inspirations, Dr.Alberto Garoli.

The sense of community was an inexplicable experience and to be surrounded by such passionate, intelligent, dynamic and caring health professionals filled me with so much hope for the future of health care.

My heart and mind is bursting and I cant wait to begin sharing the wisdom I was gifted with! 🎇🌠🎆

I'm currently in France at the moment and we have been picking the most delicious figs from the garden each day.

What's your favourite way to eat them?

What a story. I'm so glad she worked with a psychologist that ignited her passion and then helped her to rediscover her purpose. Really inspiring.

I can relate so strongly to this story. Gardening acts as my greatest anti-depressant. The combination of movement, microbes, being present, connected, in nature, dirty, with animals and sun.

Always so excited when I find new, interesting and locally grown foods to try.

Anyone want to guess what it is? Grows underground, originally from South America, high inulin content and so tasty to eat fresh.....
