Nature the Healer

Nature is such a great healer.

It is all around us and yet we can easily take it for granted.

Often we can feel stressed, but the one big stress release is all around us.

Nature offers a wonderful way to watch life in progress, the seedlings grow, the sun rises, the sun setting, the tide coming in and going out, the magnificent formations of clouds in the sky, the life cycle of living things around us.

We can get really caught up in the day to day life and forget or just not see these beautiful things because we are so busy.

Take time to look around and appreciate the wonderful nature that is around us, it is free, it is soothing, it is amazing, it has an incredible ability to calm and make us humble.

Enjoy your day

Empowering Women

Since having children I have found that I have a love of writing.

Over the years I have written many things, from magazine articles, newspaper articles, monthly columns, self help eBooks, self help booklets and I have just completed a book on Empowering Women.

Writing is such an awesome way to get knowledge, thoughts and ideas down, and you just never know when someone might just need to be reading what you have written...

Is there a writer in you?

Check out our other website full with information and inspiration from our team.

Clearing the Clutter

We all get very busy in our lives.  We seem to think we have so much to do.  We can rush from one thing to the other and sometimes not completing things.

The clutter around us can start to build.  If you are feeling a bit jumbled, take a moment to stop and think about how you are doing life.  We can get so busy on the roller coaster of life that we tend to go with the flow, creating a ground hog day feel.  We need to hop of the roller coaster and take a look at ourselves from another perspective. 

Take a moment.

Watch yourself on the roller coaster.

What do you notice?  Is there anything you can see yourself doing really well?  Is there anything you might need to change?

Has the clutter in your mind been building?  Do you need to have a sort through your worries and stresses and see what you really need to be worrying about and drop the rest?

Same goes for where you are living.  Most of us can feel great after a clean out.  We can sell things we don't need. We can donate things or if no other options, throw them away.

Either way our mind and our environment need to be uncluttered.

We can often feel that life is like ground hog day, take time to hop of the roller coaster and see where your time and energy is going.

Time and energy are super important.  It pays to use it for the things you love to do.

Enjoy your day

Posiive Influences

Positive Influences are so important in life.

I strongly believe in the saying that it is easier to build strong children than fix broken adults.

There is always a point of choice between being negative and positive.

We all have different perceptions of incoming events that are unfolding around us.  How we react to them is key.

Our values and morals will have a direct impact on our reaction.  If something happens and it breaches our values system, we will have quiet a reaction. 

Our values are our soul, our values are what makes us who we are, our values are what defines us.

If our values are breached then our reaction can be very strong.

Being around negativity can have a lasting impact, so how much we allow ourselves to be around is important to monitor.

Negativity can be linked to illnesses, depression and sleeping issues.

On the flip side, to be positive and be around like minded positive people, you can feel empowered, uplifted and feel like you can take on a lot.

If you have an empowering workplace and boss, you don't mind going the extra mile. 

Having a positive nature also has a good spin off health wise.  Research has shown that people who are of a positive disposition will often be happier, healthier and have good sleep patterns. This becomes a positive cycle, and becomes a win win situation for everyone.

One of the easiest ways to change your negative reactions is, to often think about the good things you have going on and secondly, catch yourself out when you hear yourself being negative.  The mind can be retrained, because remember we, ourselves have trained our mind to be the way it is.

Having Fun with Dream Boards

Dream Boards are so much fun.

All you need is a nice piece of coloured cardboard, some magazines, glue, pens and pencils, scissors and a great imagination.

Put everything you would like to achieve on your Dream Board, whether you believe you can achieve it or not, it doesn't matter.

Make it colourful, make it personal, make it yours.

When you have finished creating, pop your dream board up somewhere where you will see it often.

This is a great reminder to the unconscious mind of where you are planning on heading and what you are wanting to achieve, even in your wildest dreams.

Have fun

Gratitude

We can get very caught up in life and events that happen.

Sometimes it is hard to stop and think what is there to be grateful for.

We are busy, busy, busy, doing, doing, doing, but how often to we make time to just STOP and take STOCK.

It is always interesting listening to peoples perceptions of life.  Some people can be hit so hard and through no fault of their own, you wonder how they get up in the morning. And others seem to get stuck on the little stuff.

What is one way you could build some extra coping resources today?

Having a gratitude journal is one way, and instead of letting your mind control you, take control of your mind, and when things get on top of you, take 5 to see how you could handle that differently next time, instead of the automatic pilot patterns taking over.

Have a super day,

2016 Make it YOUR year

Well 2016 is well and truly here.

How has it been so far?

Some of those New Years Resolutions might have already gone out the door, or maybe not even started.

How do we engage ourselves into our goals and dreams and make them become reality?

Often we can have ideas of things we want to do and we carry them with us for many years.  What we forgot to do sometimes is update the goal list.  A goal that you set years ago might not even be that relevant now, but for whatever reason we carry it with us as something we need to do.

Goals and Dreams always need to be inline with our values.  Our values are our CORE, what makes up our SOUL, what we live for, what we live by.

Effective goal setting always needs to have that first key of being inline with values.  If we are caught up with keeping up with the Jones and keeping up with the "in group" , we can often work hard, achieve things and they become bitter sweet on completion with success feelings not being that satisfying.

A great thing to do after checking in with your values, is create a Dream Board.  Our family have done these for many years, and I have run workshops on Dream Boards. They are fun and very effective for ALL AGES.

The idea of a Dream Board is to think about what you would like to achieve in life, big stuff, small stuff, stuff you think you might never be able to achieve.  If it interests you, it is important.  Find some magazines, books, brochures, internet info etc and cut out the pictures around your dreams that you like. Find words or print words that have meaning to you.  Make sure all of it is POSITIVE. Arrange them on a big piece of cardboard/ paper. Stick them on your Dream Board and pop that Dream Board up somewhere were you are going to see it often.

The mind is very, very clever.  Our conscious mind is busy helping us out with our tasks that we need to be thinking about, and our unconscious mind has a whole load of other processes going on. One of which is being aware of your dream board every time you see it, even if you haven't really consciously noticed you are looking.  Its the same thing as putting pictures of goals and dreams on the fridge. We visit the fridge many times a day, we glance at the picture, not really thinking about it too much as we are going to the fridge.  Meantime your unconscious mind is noticing and reconfirming over and over that this is important.  The power of positive reinforcement.

So have a think, and have some fun, Maybe you might like to create your own dream board, maybe you might like to create a family one.  Kids love this stuff.  Be mindful not to put your dreams and input into others dream boards, as we all hold our own values, beliefs, visions and dreams.

GO FORTH,   HAVE FUN,   MAKE 2016 YOUR YEAR

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greetings to all...

December is such a busy time of year.

As the year draws to an end, it can have positive and negative feelings around it.

Be kind to yourself and be realistic about what you can and can't achieve this festive season.

Enlist the help of others if you need it, people are often happy to help if they know what you need.

Try to be in the moment and enjoy time with family and friends.
Avoid being the one running around, stressed out, trying to please everyone !!

Next year is a whole new year, a time to achieve whatever your heart desires.

What are your dreams for next year ?

Take care and stay safe this festive season
Kim and family

What is your Dream?

Have you ever had a dream?

Is it close or far away?

What will you need to do to make this dream become a reality?

What is the reality around this dream right now?

Is it toooo big, or toooo far away, or toooo complex to even know where to begin?

Is there someone out there doing something similar?  Is there someone out there that you could ask some advice from?

Is there some research you could be doing?

Is there a network you could be building to get you closer to your dream?

Is there different options you can take to start feeling your way around this dream?

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TODAY TO MOVE YOU

ONE STEP CLOSER...

Work/Life Balance

It is hard for some of us these days to get a good work/life balance.

How do you juggle all the things you need to do, in the time you have?

Life is busy, but does it need to be as busy as we are making it?

Are all the things on your "To do list" actually things that need to be done, or could some of them just be your personality type or programming, telling you that you MUST do all these things.

We can all get caught up in life and get caught up being busy.

A useful exercise is to write down where all your times goes.  Just keep a note for a week or so, and see where you times goes.

Then think about your values and what is important to you.  More than likely there will be things on your list that you need to do, and things that you probably might not need to do or you can delegate.

Think carefully about your list.  The great thing about making a list is you actually see where your times goes.  Time is one of those things that we can waste away and if we do not use our time efficiently, we end up robbing ourselves of quality time to do the things we really want to and the things that are important to us.

Success, What is it ?

The world "Success" gets thrown around a lot.

What is success?

Have you ever stopped to think about your own meaning of Success?

We can get badgered by subliminal advertising which is telling us what we need to do and own to be successful.  But by who's standards?

Our own personal success needs to be inline with our values.  If we don't honour our values, then goals and ambitions we have will be bitter sweet when we achieve them.

Our values are our true self.  If we listen to what others perceive as successful, it might not be in line with our personal/ family values.

Set your goals according to your values, believe you already are successful and life will become a lot more simple.

Forget what the Jones are up to next door or down the road, and live according to your values and your ambitions.
