Whether it be around income, economic and market stability, career growth, health, family…there seems to be a little bit more worry in the air recently.

If you’ve been feeling this way, know that it’s 100% ok. Just take a second to breath in nice and deep and let it out slowly.

We tend to worry when we feel things are slipping outside of our control, or as though things might affect our sense of security in life.

In the majority of cases there is no real or immediate threat to your safety, it’s simply a tool your mind uses to try gain back control so that you can operate in the realm you feel most comfortable in.

✨ Although well intended, this protective mechanism doesn’t work that well, in fact it’s the perfect way to stay stuck spinning your wheels ✨

It’s important to understand that uncertainty is a natural part of life, none of us know exactly what’s going to happen from moment to moment, and in every situation there will be things within your control and things that aren’t.

A happy, healthy life comes from learning how to release this attachment to control.

👉 So that’s my invitation to you - where in life you giving the power over to worry, in order to gain more control?

Practice is the art of transferring what you know to be true, into a lived experience.

What is truly enough for you?

How much do you need to live the life you desire? I was listening to a great podcast the other day between Marie Forleo and Jenna Kutcher, where they were discussing Jenna’s career growth over the years, and how she had been working her butt off to meet this expectation of reaching six figures in order to feel as though she was enough. Yet on the day she hit that goal she felt nothing.

Jenna realised that she felt happier with less, and that she didn’t need to be earning MORE in order to enjoy her life more. It made her stop and question what was truly enough for her to live the life she desired?

I think this question is so powerful and can be applied to every element of our lives, not just financial. In this fast-paced world, driven by platforms that profit off comparison, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing you have to always be pushing for more, or that when you have xyz you will feel fulfilled.

Yet if you were to be honest with yourself in these situations, that feeling of happiness and fulfilment you’re seeking wouldn’t necessarily come from having more of what you’re chasing, it would come from embracing more of what you’ve already got.

If this is something you feel you’ve been battling with lately jump on over to the blog to read the full article and to get you hands on some great journal questions to help guide you further. Link in bio. 💗

Lots of love, Sarah xx

Dane and I found a rogue squash growing in our backyard, and decided to let it run wild to see what happened. It bloomed and recently we were able to harvest dozens! They are beautiful and orange, and I couldn’t think of a better way to use them than to make a soup!

This creamy pumpkin and orange soup is the perfect winter warmer, and instantly makes me feel comforted, PLUS it’s packed with anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties to help support your body during these winter days.

Give it a try this weekend - you can find the recipe over on my blog, link in bio.

AND if you want more recipes like this one, sign up for my Monthly Dose of Wellness newsletter (you can find this at the bottom of the homepage at sarahtrass.com). Every month I pop into your inbox to share some of my favourite tips and tools for living a healthy and fulfilling life, as well as recipes I’m trying, and musings on what’s new in the world of development 💛

Enjoy!

The wellness industry is one that’s boomed over the last few years, and who doesn’t want to focus on their health? Yet as I engage in this world of wellness – both professionally and personally, I find myself wondering how well is it? How are we communicating and promoting what is truly healthy to each other – is it helping or is it causing further dis-ease?

We knowingly spend hours on platforms that are rooted in perfectionism and hyper individualism. Where photos and videos of people’s faces, bodies, and daily lives are used as markers around what's healthy, giving it viewership priority and funding purely because it ‘looks’ a certain way. In turn creating cycles of competition and comparison based on visual standards.

Platforms where you feel pressured to simplify complex concepts and tools into daily hooks that vanish immediately in the sea of forgotten threads, or lost in the posts that are saved for later. Leading us down a path of inertia and mental overwhelm, where we sort of ‘know’ what we can do but never get round to actually doing it.

These wellness trends, rather than making us collectively healthy, are feeding into the very concepts that we know make us unwell. And our daily choices continue to support it.

I know this isn’t new, that advertising has been used across the board for centuries, I’m also aware of the fact I’m not immune to it, I’m putting this out there as a point of reflection – in the hopes that we can start to encourage each other to find opportunities to push back against the trends that don’t contribute to our wellness, and to start exploring other ways in which we can engage and consume wellness.

✨ Some thoughts for reflection…✨
- How do you use your or other’s platforms to engage in health and wellness?
- What’s your intention behind the content you create or consume? Does it encourage and support you from a healthy place of love/inspiration/wellness?
- How can we make shifts in the way we use wellness trends and platforms to ensure we’re contributing to the health and wellness of us all?

Bringing a client journey to a close and hearing this type of feedback is so heartwarming and humbling.

I get so excited by my job because I love working with women like Bayley -
- women who want to step away from the niggling voice inside their head that shackles them to self-doubt,
- women who want to stop feeling weighed down by perfectionism and people pleasing,
- women who want to claim a life that’s authentically them.

Thank you for choosing me to be a part of this journey, and for trusting me to hold the space for your growth 💗

Living a life that truly lights you up, brings you contentment, and reminds you that you're already enough just as you are, is not a one-time choice, it’s a process. A process that I believe, is the journey of a lifetime.

👉 So, if you’re ready to embark on this journey, I’d be honoured to guide you through it. Reach out and let’s have a chat.

With Love, Sarah xx
