I wanted to take this moment to say a huge thank you for having the curiosity and courage to invest in your growth this year, and for allowing me the privilege of joining you on your journey to living a life you truly desire - whether it’s been through 1:1 coaching, at a speaking event, or simply by inspiring each other through Social Media posts ❤️

I also wanted to take this moment to bring your attention to all the goodness that is happening around you, and to remind you that you're not alone. I truly believe that one drop, joined by many, becomes a powerful force, and as a result we collectively make a greater impact on the world and the lives of those around us. So, please take this moment to see just how powerful of a force we can be when we’re together.

✨Collectively through coaching, the greater ‘we’….✨
- Got engaged.
- Sold and bought houses.
- Left jobs that didn’t serve us.
- Dropped other’s expectations for how our life should be, and committed to our own ways of living.
- Stepped into leadership roles at work.
- Grieved and moved through the loss of loved ones.
- Sold businesses.
- Learnt how to truly love ourselves, just as we are.
- Discovered our own boundaries within relationships, and how to stand firmly inside of them.
- Created our first ever CV and confidently applied for jobs.
- Left un-healthy relationships and reignited the love in important ones.
- Stopped giving the power to our negative thoughts and rediscovered the joy in our lives.
- Discovered how to communicate in a healthy way with ourselves and others.
- Re-ignited healthy habits around food, movement and spirituality.
- Let go of the outdated versions of ourselves and re-claimed our innate worth.
…and much, much more…

Sitting with your results, and seeing what you’ve gone through, proves that even in the most difficult of times we can still all experience immense joy, growth, and hope.

Once again, I’m so proud of all that you’ve achieved this year - you continue to inspire me and constantly remind me of why I love doing what I do.

Have a wonderful Christmas break and I look forward to see you in 2021!
All my love, Sarah xx

Gentle reminder as we head into the holiday season 🎄

A check in phone call,
A smile,
Asking if there’s anything they need help with,
Even a free cup of coffee in the morning….

Small gestures go a long way in helping someone feel seen, heard, loved, and supported this time of year.

The first thing that comes to mind when you say Christmas, is family, and no matter how much you love your family, spending time with them over the holiday season can be draining.

Often we find ourselves slipping into old behavioural patterns, playing a particular role within the family dynamic, or dropping good habits to accommodate and appease others. All in all, it can feel frustrating.

If this is a common feeling for you over the holidays, I invite you shift your focus towards what you can do to stay truthful to who you are and your needs over the break 💕 Now I'm not saying this is easy, it can feel really uncomfortable, as our family are the ones who resist change in us the most, and it feels easier to revert back to the version of us they want. YET the long term benefits are far more rewarding when you give yourself and others a chance to accept and see you as you are.

👉 So, over to you: What does staying true to you these holidays, look like? What roles have you outgrown, and what do you need to do to honour this?

For me I’m exploring offering up new traditions for Christmas with the wider family, acknowledging I’m not the ‘ensure everyone’s having a good time’ person, and spending time by myself each day to ground and recharge.

Self-care check in...

Wrapping up the end of the year can feel as though you’re trying to squeeze every little activity into your days and being there for everyone else, all at the expense of your own energy.

This is a reminder that your mental and physical health, and how you recharge, isn’t a nice-to-do…it’s a priority. 🧡 Even just 5 minutes a day will make a huge difference to how you feel.

👉 Which activity’s on your menu this week?

I invite you to really sit with this question and see what comes up for you.

✨ What would happen if you chose to honour these on a regular basis?
✨ What would that look like exactly?

#reflection #healthandwellness #consciousliving #boundaries #selfresponsibility #recharging #powerfulquestions #designyourlife #lifecoaching #livelifewell ...

Who is it for? If the answer isn’t you then I invite you to do one little thing to shift this. It doesnt have to be a huge big overhaul - it could be as simple as…
- Picking something to wear tomorrow that makes you feel more like you.
- Arranging your bedroom to reflect your style.
- Picking flowers that you love regardless if anyone else sees them.
- Listening to music that you love.

All I ask is make it a conscious choice every day to live your life true to you.

Fill in the blank and read it back to yourself - how does it make you feel? What does this tell you about your beliefs around self-worth and being ‘good’ enough?

Is there anything you'd like to change about this sentence, when it comes to believing that you are already enough?

Have you heard the phrase ‘You’re not your thoughts, you’re the person experiencing them’? When I first heard this it felt too abstract, and it ended up wafting in one ear and out the other.

However, the more work I did around my beliefs and consciously choosing to observe my thoughts, I finally allowed it to sink in.

Thoughts are neurons that fire away in the brain, based off what we see, hear, and feel. In a sense they’re a representation of your experiences.

Over time your brain makes a map of your experiences and stores them as neural pathways that it directs you along. It does this to save energy as well as to protect you from any future ‘threats’.

This is where the 'separating yourself from your thoughts' part comes in. Because your brain has coded your experiences (right from childhood), you unconsciously live inside the patterns, unaware that they’re influencing everything from how you feel to how you think and behave. The more that you allow the pattern to occur the more habitual it becomes, eventually making you feel trapped inside your thoughts and in turn believing that they are you.

But they aren’t. Thoughts are simply patterns based on previous experiences, that you have the power to change through the act of awareness. The more you step back and observe your thoughts the more aware you become of the underlying beliefs that created them in the first place – putting you in the position to decide whether or not they are true or useful for you to have any more.

This is where true freedom sits 🍃.

Often when we start trusting ourselves, and truly listening in on our own needs and desires, it can feel disconcerting - as though we’re lost in the woods with no clear markings on which direction to take.

When we feel like this the default response is to stiffen up and freak out. We fall into thinking:

- We should already be two steps ahead of ourselves.
- We should already know what’s next.
- We should already be back up and running full steam.

And if we're not…we’re failing.

Well, what if this wasn’t the case? What if instead of being lost and failing, you were forging new unchartered territory? Territory that’s more aligned with who you truly are – free from the beliefs of others and stories around who you should be?

What if that feeling of disconcertment was the first sign of a new horizon, full of previously unseen possibilities guiding you closer to yourself? 🧡

I used to put perfectionist as a character strength on my CV when I was at school, and it was something I wore as a badge of honour as I got older. I was proud to be seen as perfect.

But the funny thing was I knew it was an illusion, that there is no such thing as perfect, yet I still aimed for it. It had become an expectation I’d unconsciously set for myself that I had to maintain in everything I did.

When I finally challenged this belief and it's role in my life, I realised I’d attached the word perfect to being the best, and it was causing me so much unnecessary pain…

- down time was filled with things I could do to improve on,
- achievement was brushed off with ‘well of course I should’ve got that’, and,
- activities were assessed on how successful or worthwhile they’d be, over and above simply having fun.

Because here's the thing, when you claim yourself as a perfectionist you become paralysed by the fear of not being good enough, and you end up placing your entire sense of worth on being productive and successful 24/7, and in getting things 'right' all of the time.

As a result you end up hiding in order to feel safe, and this is why people who aim for perfect continually feel dissatisfied.

I wanted to share this with you as you approach the end of the year, because it's typically when you can become stressed and anxious over getting things right, and judging yourself harshly for not meeting expectations - whether it’s in your relationships, your work, your body, or your activities.

👉 I invite you to challenge your relationship with perfectionism and success. How is this driving your behaviour right now?

With love, Sarah 💕
