SELF Care 101

In this episode, I’m going to be ranting a little a bit about society and the disparity of behaviour in social media during the current crisis.

Mental wellbeing is essential for us all. It does not discriminate. Why then am I seeing publicity stunt after publicity stunt like free pizzas for NHS staff, a round of applause by the nation. Did you know that they are having to work in a way that neither them nor us could have ever fathomed?

When a NHS employee sits down to rest and scrolls social media - the same way we are all connecting at present - they need to be seeing uplifting content not anger-filled posts. They need to see practical tips that are realistic for them and they need to have their mental wellbeing supported by kind, funny content.

In this episode, I talk about Fear and Belief. Specifically, the language we use and the way we process thoughts without really connecting to self awareness or true consciousness. It’s not that deep, I keep it light but I do want us to focus on self awareness a bit for this podcast and also how you can learn to understand when fear, belief or language isn't yours. It’s actually someone else’s. 

By learning the difference, you can be better equipped to handle events in your life, focus on your goals better and probably achieve all that you want for yourself. Self awareness is key.

On this episode I interview a lady that I am very humbled to also have the privilege of working with. Dr Deepa Apté is a renowned Ayurvedic Practitioner and MD. Her spa Ayurveda Pura is where she treats clients with traditional healing practices and hosts a number of a courses for therapists and practitioners.

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian holistic medical system. It is based on achieving physical and mental harmony with nature which has been practised for more than 5000 years. Ayurveda means science of life, Ayur meaning life and veda meaning science and was first recorded in the Vedas, the world’s oldest surviving literature.

As my practice has grown and developed, I’ve realised that without even knowing it I have been incorporating Ayurvedic principles of balance and holistic views in my techniques, always looking to work on a clients goals by reviewing their whole life. So when I met Deepa, we chatted for hours and she endorsed to me herself that so much of what I was saying about my coaching practice was Ayurvedic. 

I hope this podcast enlightens you on Ayurveda, the truth about yoga and how you can bring some of these principles into your own life.

On this episode, I talk about how we can be judgemental, how that affects and creates anxiety and I’m going to offer mindfulness meditation techniques that you can use to help better manage these deep-rooted feelings.

Deep-rooted habits can be a block to happiness. Whilst practicing mindfulness meditation is the most effective way to dissolve the force of habit, we can make a start by bringing compassionate attention to our habits.

This is a very special episode for me. I get to interview one of my clients, India who shares her journey from struggling with depression to thriving by learning how to manage her mental health. I met India at my first retreat, she came to me after leaving a job and not feeling motivated to do anything. She was low but she was hiding it. On the retreat itself, she opened up about a traumatic experience that snowballed into affecting her work and her mental wellbeing. As the topic of the trauma is still very sensitive, we won’t be disclosing it but trust me, it was traumatic and her life could have gone in a very different direction if she hadn’t found the strength within her to fight. I personally adore India. She is such a vibrant, infectious and beautiful person to be around - I’m sure you’ll see how fun she is on this show. We also talk a little about a topic that India and I are very passionate about, mental health awareness. Our opinions are pretty strong and I have to stress that every person must do what is right for them and that we are only sharing our own opinions from the experiences we have both had with depression.

On this episode I’m going to talk about energy and more specifically, energy exchange. Science now accepts that the universe, including us, is made up of energy, not matter. This is not actually new – it was posited by Socrates in Europe way back when, and by the ancient Rishis in India thousands of years before that.

Quantum physics says that as you go deeper and deeper into the workings of the atom, you see that there is nothing there – just energy waves. It says an atom is actually an invisible force field, a kind of miniature tornado, which emits waves of electrical energy.

Those energy waves can be measured and their effects seen, but they are not a material reality, they have no substance because they are… well, just electricity. So science now embraces the idea that the universe is made of energy.

This means it is important to be aware of whether you are in an environment where you are getting entangled in destructive energy waves or constructive energy waves.

On this episode I’m going to talk about how to let go of the need to be perfect. Perfectionism tends to stem from fear. This is usually very deep rooted from childhood and then this fear is fed as we become adults and start working towards life goals. Depending on your upbringing, it can be really hard to ascertain what you are ok with and what you’ve been conditioned to believe is ok. Experts have found that perfectionism is more than an attitude or excess attention to detail — it has become a way of life that creates and amplifies mental health issues. It’s a clear signal that we have a problematic relationship with our sense of self.

On this episode, I address overthinking, why it’s bad for your health and how you can start taking steps today to manage it better. There’s likely something from the past that triggers this behaviour. And with that, it means you have a choice to stop it or to carry on. There’s a meme about how many tabs you have open in your mind - if there are multiple thoughts whirling around your mind all the time, it’s going to not only affect your sleep, your decision-making, it ultimately harms your mental wellbeing and we can prevent this.

On this episode, I interview Anna Davidson - a survivior of domestic violence who is starting to share her experience with others who may need help. Domestic abuse will affect 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men in their lifetime. This Leads to, on average, two women being murdered each week and 30 men per year and accounts for 16% of all violent crime, however it is still the violent crime least likely to be reported to the police. Domestic violence has more repeat victims than any other crime. This is not only an inspiring story of resilience, strength and determination, it's also a moving, sad and frightening one. Anna is a strong woman, she shares her story of working in a successful corporate career, being the breadwinner in a loving marriage to taking redundancy and everything she knew and trusted being taken from her. N.B Apologies for the random beeping in the show.

A lot of the time we talk about being positive people but our actions don't always reflect this. Having a healthy mindset is looking at yourself as a whole, knowing how to use your energy to affect good things in your life and how to reframe your thinking whenever something bad happens. On this episode, I've shared a tip inspired by NLP techniques to help you get to working on your mindset goals.
