Press Pause Podcast

Today we chat about a topic that many of us do daily and it really impacts our self-care on many levels. Comparing ourselves to others and making it mean something more than we should. 
We are all individual and how we look after ourselves is completely different so when we start to compare ourselves to others it can really bring up alot of background stuff that changes how we act, what we do and how we think not only about ourselves but  our lives.
It can have a positive vibe to help motivate us at times but today we chat about different ways we can shift our awareness to how it is impacting your life and why it is important to reflect on.

How do you manage stress?
Stress is a natural and very normal process in the body, not to mention a little bit of stress is actually good for us!

So how can we be more aware when we have too much stress in our life creating much more damage than we realise long term. 
It can be something we can become numb to and very easily feel quite normal while being hard to discern because it could be happening every single day. 

We are here to share with you that this doesn't have to be the case. You can experience stress and find many ways to manage it, shift it, and use it to your advantage. If we don't learn how to do these things over time, it doesn't matter how well you look after yourself, stress can be the one blindspot that flushes all your self care hard work down drain. 

So join us as we dive right into the good, the bad and the not pretty side of stress to shift our awareness and gain our control back for our health and longevity.

Join us today as we chat about the power of acceptance.

How we relate to situations in life and how we accept the things that happen or are happening around us is an important part of self-care and self-love. Some things are out of our control and learning the power of accepting what is and not allowing it to have a strong hold over us allows more ease to show in our system and in our life.

Seeing circumstances for what they are and not allowing it to become bigger than us plays a big role in our health journey and long term results.

Learning skills and having an awareness around claiming power back and accepting things that are happening helps to unhook ourselves from getting drawn into a space that isn't allowing us to move forward.

We would love you to join us to bring more awareness around areas in your life that you can claim back some power by accepting what is.

How do you approach situations, circumstances or outcomes? Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?

In this episode we break down the difference between what a growth and fixed mindset is, and how we can get the most out of being able to learn and grow when we feel stuck or perhaps things aren't going our way, as opposed to letting it determine what we are capable of.

Applying a growth mindset can make all the difference when we have big dreams, goals, and or even little ideas on our journey towards the best version of ourselves.

Knowing it is ok to change what you do and discover how earth seasons can guide us is such an opportunity of growth within and help establlish good healthy practices to support our ongoing changing journey.

In this episode we discuss the seasons of life and how our self care is affected by what might may be happening around and or within us. 

We are always in a season, the important thing to remember is to be aware of it so you can make the most of it and use it to your advantage.
It's important to not over think this and compare yourself to others, but tune in to your body and timeline in order for you to honour it as an opportunity for growth.

There are so many seasons of life that we get to experience, we encourage you to enquire what season you may be in so you don't beat yourself up if your self care takes a step back or feel guilty if you start prioritising more self care as a response.
Seasons are unique and so should be your response to them. Not paying attention to them could result in burn out or a feeling of imbalance and dis ease.

We hope you take away a personal insight into not just doing what you have to get done in life, but adapting to the bigger picture of your own personal needs and desires to make room for life and it's beautiful seasonal changes.
