Overcome your happiness blocks

Have you ever been stuck in a cycle of wanting to change your life and not knowing why you're not? Watching yourself do exactly the thing that's making you unhappy, yet having no understanding of why you're not taking the action that you want to?

Maybe you long to create a better life where you're earning more money, are at peace with your body, have found your soul mate, or where you're living in the location of your dreams - but something inside feels like it's blocking you. Or maybe you've achieved all of those goals but you're still not happy, and you don't know why - you're longing for a feeling of internal success.

OTHER PEOPLE'S STRESS...isn't yours to carry

Whether you're at home or work, visiting with friends or catching up with family, the start of the year can stir up old emotions and leave us feeling a little off-kilter. Because New Year's stress doesn't just come from the dark, the weather or even the lack of cash - it's also from the people around us.

Don't fear the D-WORD

MOVING FROM GUILT TO GRACE

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying sorry? ‘Sorry, could I just…?’ ‘Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.’ ‘Sorry, I’m not free.’ We apologise for taking up space, for saying no, for changing our minds, even for wanting something different. Sometimes it just slips out before you’ve even had time to check if it belongs there.
