Ever heard of TFT or thought field therapy? It’s a life and mind shifter.

TFT is a type of psychotherapy that manipulates how energy travels through your body. When you feel an energy being built up and blocked, TFT will help you release it through your thought fields. It is said to give long lasting and rapid results. It’s also related to EFT – emotional freedom technique.⁠⁠Rosanna Mosca at Feeling Healthy Wellness Hub is an incredible counsellor and psychotherapist and she helped me move through multiple sessions of TFT in addressing some anxiety and phobia related…

How to identify wasteful thoughts – what Brahma Kumaris taught me.

In my mid twenties, I discovered the Brahma Kumaris spiritual community. And yes, I thought it may have been a cult, and no it wasn’t (phew!). ⁠ Together with a close girlfriend, we joined their positive thinking course program, and learnt all about how our thoughts are seperate to who we are, and how to identify different types of thoughts. It was a pivotal point in my life where I started to really understand the power of our thoughts and…

It’s good to be on your own sometimes.

We live in a world that feel likes it’s travelling at the speed of light sometimes. Well not literally, but you know what I mean. Since coming out of lockdown in Melbourne late last year, life has started to ramp up again. Coordinating and enjoying holidays away, getting the kids ready for school about to start, playdates, errands, activities, housework…that elusive “me” time. I still can’t process that it’s a new year. Anyone else feel like last year has just…

Clear your mind with a journal.

“Journaling is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time.” – Mina Murray ⁠ A great activity for encouraging mindfulness is journaling. Remember writing in your secret diary when you were a kid, well journaling is the adult version of that. If you’re feeling stressed, anxious or worried, picking up a pen and writing down what you’re feeling can help you take your mind off things. It’s also great for when you feel great too – it…

Harmonise your mind and body with yoga.

⁠⁠I remember when I first started my yoga practice around 8 or so years ago now, which was a combination of tai chi, pilates and yoga. The soulful Liana from Akari Yoga & Fitness ran classes near me at the time (I highly recommend you look her up both online and if you’re near Kyneton). ⁠ It was a time I had a racing mind pretty much constantly and needed to find a way to calm it the F down,…

Invest in a personal coach, why?

Investing in personal coaching has been something I have wanted to do for a very long time. ⁠⁠And a few months back, after a deep struggle with being in initial lockdown in Melbourne, I decided it was the right time. I was a big fuzzy hot mess. My head hurt with the overwhelm. Isolation at home with two young active children for a prolonged period, whilst running a household and a business with my hubby and a lack of outside…

What’s emotional intelligence and why is it important?

🧠 Emotional intelligence and having an understanding of what it is and how I can hone it, is one of those life skills I have found invaluable.⁠⁠Have you heard of it? 🤷🏻⁠⁠I hadn’t. Until I worked in corporate over 10 years ago, and we had an EI coach run an assessment for the all male exec team (bar me…surprise surprise). After a ratings test, it appeared that as a female I rated higher than my other 13 male colleagues and…

Listening to the whispers…thanks to Oprah

Back in December 2015 I heard Oprah speak live in Melbourne with one of my best friends (so special!). It was truly a pivotal moment for me personally and spiritually. In the short time she spoke, there was lesson after lesson after lesson.⁠⁠One of the most profound was this, and one I remember all the time.⁠ “Your life is speaking to you all the time. ⁠ Life whispers to you. ⁠ The whisper gets louder. ⁠ It becomes a pebble (problem). ⁠…

RUOK Day

Last week, on Thursday, 8th September, it was RUOK day in Australia. It is run by an Aussie suicide prevention charity inspiring people to meaningfully connect and support those struggling with life. This is a cause very close to my heart, and it got me thinking. Many years ago, I suffered from horrendous panic attacks and I hid my feelings about it and never gave a glimpse to anyone that anything was wrong. So no one knew that they needed…

Mental Health – my inside story.

Mental Health – the stigma, the shame, the secrecy. It’s not helping anyone. Not the afflicted person, their family, their children, their friends, the greater world at large. We need to talk openly and candidly with an aim to educate so that everyone, including our children, understand what it means, can identify the signs within themselves if it be the case, but also and importantly, to pave the way for an informed and easy vehicle for recovery and management. This…
