Gratitude as a powerful tool to reduce stress
It is said that you cannot feel fear whilst simultaneously feeling grateful. When we’re stressed, we’re up in our heads and our thoughts, when we feel grateful, we open and connect with our hearts. So, gratitude simultaneously lowers stress levels and makes us...
Polarity: a universal law to remember
I am big believer in the ‘Universal Laws’ and the one I often bear in mind in times of struggle is the Law of Polarity. According to the Law of Polarity, everything is dual. So, things that appear to be opposites are actually two inseparable parts...
Breathe away your stress
When we’re feeling stressed, the stress hormones make us fixate on potential threats – this makes us laser focus in on the potential worst-case scenarios. Yes, there are things to be concerned about at the moment, however staying in a state of worry and fear does not...

How to stop worrying
Are you a bit of a worrier? … I’ll admit I can be! I have got a lot better over the years though … I mean I can’t really coach my clients around mindset, fear, anxiety etc. and not use those tools and techniques myself!! … But sometimes, I do find myself...
Love…
Like me, you may be feeling a little over saturated with everyone on social media posting quotes or advice about love or sharing photos and stories about their loved ones and Valentine’s celebrations! I’m all for love of course, when you add love to the...
Where your stress comes from…
I hope last week’s blog on 'good stress' gave you a slightly different perspective on how we can use stress to our advantage and not immediately see it as a problem to fix? A number of people reached out to share how reframing stress to ‘tension’ really helped...
