I woke up with a sore throat... Want to see what I am doing about it?

Want to see what supplements I took this morning? 

I have a big weekend coming up with work tomorrow, a Halloween party tomorrow night and my workshop on Sunday. I simply cannot afford to get sick or lose my voice. That is why I am making sure to do everything I can to help my body heal and give my immune system any support I can.

This includes taking whatever supplements I have at home and eating foods that will support my body.

I will not take this lying down!

Well I suppose that is only part of the truth. I do believe that when our body shows us a symptom its not random. I believe there is ALWAYS a message behind it. Something that we have been doing that isn’t working, something emotional we are suppressing, something that we need to learn or simply that we need to give ourselves more TLC.

So this morning I did take it lying. I cancelled my morning plans and slept in. I felt I needed it and so I made the choice to do what I knew was right for me. Sure I had made plans, sure I was actually really disappointed to be cancelling them but I also knew that it was the right decision for me. I listened to my body and that was what I knew I had to do.

But I also feel its important to connect to what the message is. Why is my body run down and why is it specifically affecting my throat.

The throat is all about communication, owning your power, speaking your truth, and expressing yourself.

Although I may have caught something from one of the adorable kinder children I was working with on Wednesday, I believe that my sore throat has a lot to do with the fact that I have been focusing the last few months on owning my power and speaking my truth. Obviously there is still some resistance there hence my throat being an area of weakness (to be honest it has always been an area of weakness for me and communication and speaking my truth has also always been a challenge for me). I have always felt resistance at simply speaking what I believe and a great need to be liked. I am learning that those who are supposed to be in my life, the right people for my tribe will obviously like me regardless, especially when I speak my truth.

Life is a journey for each and every one of us and we all come across challenges. In order to move past them and not get stuck we must first identify what they are. Delve deep inside our heart where the message ALWAYS lies and simply listen. Our consciousness knows the answers; they are all there waiting for us.

We just need to listen.

For me I feel a shift and I believe that each time we are unwell or experience pain or suffering it is an opportunity for growth. We can either ignore the message and keep repeating the same mistakes, traveling away from our purpose. Which is pure love by the way. Or listen to what our body and soul is telling us, learn the lesson and move forward on our path towards alignment and wholeness.

It’s not always easy, but on the other hand it is always easy. Things flow with such ease when we follow our purpose, when we listen to our soul and move towards love rather than fear. If you are living a life by following fear you are not on the path to your highest good and greatest potential and you never will be.

Don’t let fear win.

Its love you need.

Its love we all need.

We are all love and we are all one.

It will flow.

Life will be easy if you simply move AWAY from fear and TOWARDS love.

When it comes to my journey I am choosing to check in and listen to what my body needs on a daily basis. I have learnt that it is not always linear in its progression. Sometimes you climb mountains and other times you slip and fall. But it is all about the journey, the experience and the lessons we learn along the way. You know you are on the right path if you are heading towards love, joy, wonder and happiness. If it feels good deep in your soul then simply keep going.

It’s that simple.

For true health and happiness all you need to do is make a choice. A choice about how you are going to live your life. Do it with conviction and make the commitment to yourself to live a life that is fulfilling for you. One that allows you to shine your light and come from a place of love.

P.S. Its only 2 days until my Joy workshop. If you have been living in a place of fear and are ready to move towards love then you must come join me. I will teach you how to release those feeling and beliefs that are no longer serving you so you can bring more joy into your life. Surround yourself with the frequency of joy every day and feel each and every cell in your body dance to the vibration of joy.

P.P.S. Never forget that it is your life and it is 100% your choice how you live it. Your experiences are 100% your choice. You simply need to listen.

What's the point?

Sometimes I sit and wonder what is the point of all this?

We wake up each morning and head out to work mostly looking forward to the day ending or the weekend so we can relax.

We do this to make money. Money is essential ­to survive, yes. However, we also have the belief that with money we will find happiness, a feeling of success, freedom and security. To some extent this is true. Money can make certain aspects of life easier but does it have the value we place on it?

We complain that life is so hard, that the world can be a terrible place, that we would much prefer to still be in bed rather than doing whatever it is that takes most of our time.

We look at others. Judge others and compare ourselves to others. We do this mostly in a critical way, sometime more in an envious way. This is despite having no idea what is going on in their world.

We have decided what is most important in our society and once again this comes back to money, power and this to us means success.

But if we really are on the right path, if we really are progressing as a society, moving forward and achieving greatness than why don’t we feel AMAZING.

Why do we feel stressed, anxious, unsettles. Why are we all getting so sick? Why are we making money but not feeling happy, or simply just not making enough money at all. Why is life so hard and why do we crave time away from the place we spend most of our waking hours, being our work?

I’ve been pondering many things of late. Our priorities as a society, the fact that despite advancements in many fields we as a human race only appear to be becoming more disconnected from one another, more unhappy, more tired and more sick.

Everything in my logic explains that we are moving forward. There are new medical advancements all the time, new scientific discoveries, more technological creations to make our lives easier, more ways of communication (even from the comfort of our own homes), more convenient and cheap food, easy accessibility to clean water, rules and regulations to make the workplace safe and fair. With the Internet the world and all the knowledge we could ever desire is literally at our fingertips.

But as a society are we really happy? I mean truly happy, filled with joy? Are we actually healthy? We may be living to an older age but who doesn’t have something wrong with them? How rare is it to find someone over the age of 50 not taking any form of medication?

So what is missing?

I believe it comes down to one fundamental thing. That thing is LOVE. SELF LOVE. We are totally missing this in our society. It is so not a priority. Even worse than that it even has a negative connotation.

“Look how much that guy loves himself.” Does that sound like a compliment? No.

What we fail to realise is that true self-love is not narcissistic but pure, generous and honest. Narcissistic people don’t love themselves or they wouldn’t need to show off and would treat others with the same love and respect they give themselves.

Take a moment and really look into yourself. Do you honestly, openly and without judgement love yourself?

If you completely and genuinely do then why would you allow yourself to suffer so much and so often. Why would you fill your body with what we know to be toxic or unhealthy? Why would you spend your entire life doing tasks you don’t enjoy? Why wouldn’t you prioritise time to do things that bring you joy and inner peace?

I mean really what the point of this life if you are not truly living it. Life is too short to spend each day miserable, or even just neutral. Life should be fun, full of joy, personal growth and most of all love.

You only have one life and you are the only one in control of it. This year, 2017 is one of new opportunities and if you are reading this and it resonates with you then I believe this is the wake up call you need. Don’t spend another minute living the life that society dictates instead of the one you know you have the potential to live. Most of all don’t forget the infinite power of love. Love yourself and love others unconditionally.
