Self Love Podcast

“The word diversity has been reduced in today’s world to mean gender and race. But really diversity in its pure definition is around every single difference that you can imagine in life and how unconditionally loving you can be towards every single difference, particularly the ones at the other of the spectrum of your beliefs and views and behaviours. How compassionate can you be towards the things that you vehemently, and the people that you vehemently disagree with and continue to live your life with love?”  Marcus Pearce

From smoking, drinking, workaholic, TV producer to radical, preaching, vegan health nut, this week we have the gorgeous Marcus Pearce talking openly about the pathway to health and living an exceptional life. He shares his journey from being a corporate executive to parenthood, from event organiser to best-selling author, from directing others to podcaster all with love, intelligence, enquiry and compassion.

Marcus gets us to think more openly around topics on nutrition, diversity, wellness, beliefs, values, drive, purpose and love. We talk about being hypnotised in life.

Marcus believes all of our values are an illusion, in fact we are all in the illusion of life. And what if everything we believed was wrong? He talks about our identity and how it might suit us better to let go of always being ‘right’ in fact it might be better to be wrong. It allows you to have a more diverse and wider experience of the world.

As a father, Marcus does not want his children to feel shackled by his own thoughts and beliefs, he wants nothing more than for his four kids to grow up with an open mindset reminding us all to read an excerpt from the Prophet by Kahlil Gabran.

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

On the topic of changing the people around us to live the way we do he is reminded of a Benjamin Franklin quote:

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.”

If only we could love people for who they are. The most loving thing we can do sometimes is the cruel to be kind or at other times let bygones be bygones. Do we really need a right and wrong? He thinks it’s important to love people for who they are and gives examples in his book of the most unforgiveable acts where forgiveness takes place.

Marcus describes the 8 parts of his Exceptional Life Blueprint that includes Life Purpose, Movement, Social Life, Nutrition, Family, Growth, Finances and Spirit.

He talks about rituals and how they have made a huge difference to his life and how they constantly change depending on his needs and wants. He insists they should be rituals for winning and that means sometimes they change. Your ritual should compliment every other part of your day.

He says the 4 cardinals mentioned in his book are: generosity, respect, kindness and helpfulness.

Marcus has been a part of The Wellness Couch for many years, he is the head of marketing and running the Wellness events with well over 4,500 attendees. He said it has taken him to Ikaria, he launched 100 Not Out Podcast which is now the longest standing podcast on the couch and now it feels it is a reason, season and lifetime. It has served a massive purpose and now the time has come to end it.

Below you will find the link to attend or get the replay of this life inspiring and wonderful platform of exceptional people. Hope to see you there.

Marcus talks about the path of detachment and the path of compassion and talks about all of our differences are what makes life so colourful.

He believes self love is loving yourself in a conscious way. Self love is everything. The soul part and life purpose part of your world. It effects every part but it is yours and yours alone. It’s about the relationship with yourself.

Make sure you get a copy of Marcus’s book on the link below too, it truly is exceptional.

Favourite quote is a Sufi prayer:

“My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me. And what misses me was never meant for me.”

The post SLP 85: Your Exceptional Life with Marcus Pearce appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Peppermint oil creates a refreshing, cooling, warming and activating feeling. It has been used in many cultures for thousands of years, mainly due to its extremely useful health-promoting properties. It is an excellent digestive aid, helps with the respiratory and circulatory systems and is a fantastic anti-inflammatory and antiseptic oil and this week we look a little deeper into the benefits and qualities of this incredible oil.

On top of this peppermint is an exceptional flavour, particularly when it comes to dark chocolate and is excellent to use in the bathroom as it’s familiar aroma and taste is in most toothpastes and mouth washes.  It even keeps mice, fleas and ants away. There is no doubt every home should have a bottle of this on hand.

One of my most favourite ways to use peppermint is in a footbath. Simply fill a large stainless steel bowl with warm/hot water and place 3 drops Lavender and 3 drops Peppermint into the water. Agitate the water then immerse both feet and soak for a minimum of ten minutes. Even better place a face washer at the bottom and two large marbles on top of that. Now rub your feet over them massaging any sore points and triggering as much of the sole as possible. If you add ½ cup magnesium salt to this footbath you really are giving yourself the best of best home spa foot treatments around!

Peppermint compresses are also fantastic. A cold compress on the forehead and extremities when a fever or headache is present is ideal and the perfect way to help bring comfort when unwell. Placing a warm compress on the tummy when there are digestive issues is a real winner as is a peppermint spritzer when suffering with morning or travel sickness!

One of the most common questions I get asked in relation to peppermint is ‘How safe is the toothpaste I buy with peppermint oil in it? Let’s think about everyday toothpaste… Did you know that toothpaste is not regulated as a food but as a cosmetic product? Understandably we are not meant to swallow it but we all know small amounts do trickle down the back of the throat even when we do not intend to.  And most international well-known brands – particularly if they are sold into China – will definitely have been animal tested as part of their importing legislation.

The safety testing of cosmetic products is incredibly lax compared to food products and we all know there are many cosmetic brands on the market today that have well known questionable and scary ingredients. This means sadly, that the manufacturers of toothpaste can just about fill the tube with whatever ingredients look, smell, feel and taste great without ever giving a thought to our health and wellbeing.

If you ever want to check your ingredients you can suss out the Environmental Working Group safety chart http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ but for now some questionable ingredients to look out for in your toothpaste are:

Triclosan – an antibacterial agent and preservative used in some toothpastes. According to the EWG Triclosan has been shown to be an endocrine disrupter, skin irritant and can cause allergic reactions.

Sorbitol – this is a liquid that stops toothpaste from drying out. It has a laxative effect if too much is consumed.

Aspartame/Sachharin – well known sweeteners that have been linked to all sorts of problems and conditions like alzeihmers, dementia. They are considered neuro-toxins so best to be avoided at all times.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) – is a foaming agent and detergent that is added to most toothpastes on the market. It has known side effects that are detrimental to the body as well as during the process of it there may be ethylene oxide which has moderate cancer risk associated to it.

FD & C Blue Dye No 2 – this so-called fun ‘stripe’ in toothpastes is most likely from a synthetic dye which are known have adverse effects including hyperactivity in children, allergic reactions and even cancer.

Fluoride – probably the most publicized ingredient of all and deserves a whole article itself but put simply fluoride is dangerous and toxic. Too much can have serious side effects including fluorosis (spotting and discoloration on teeth). The FDA now requires  all manufacturers put a ‘poison warning’ on all fluoride toothpastes.

Many natural health food stores will stock quality toothpastes without these nasties. I look for chemical-free ones that and contain no parabens, SLS, added fluoride, sugar and artificial sweeteners or petrochemicals and chemical bleach. It has mild foaming, a nice mint flavour and is NOT tested on animals.

Here is a link to some natural toothpastes as recommended by Women’s Health Magazine.

If you would like to make your own toothpaste then here is a recipe you can make at home!

Homemade Toothpaste

6Tbsp coconut oil

6Tbsp baking soda

10 drops Peppermint oil

2 drops stevia

Mix all together and keep in a glass jar.

It might take a little getting used to at first but it may well be worth persisting.

If you would like to get yourself some organic Peppermint oil here is the Twenty8 one.

The post SLP 84: Self Love Quicky – Peppermint Oil appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

“Like you said, ‘there are no accidents’ and I just trusted. I feel like I have always had this belief, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ So even through the heart break, even through the disappointments of careers and boys and all these kinds of things, it’s all been leading to something bigger and so I’ve just trusted that living in the moment of pain is going to lead to something better.”  ~ Tayla Morrison

What an absolute honour to interview my very own precious daughter. This week we get to hear from a young woman on a mission. A woman who has lived a lot in 23 years. Tayla Morrison has always had a passion for dance and through hearing her story you will see how she has navigated the pains and joys and the highs and lows of this crazy world and how it has become a strong metaphor for her to attain her dreams.

We discuss what it was like for her to go through school, how to learn about who she was, who she could be and how other people made her feel. Her advice to parents and teenagers is liberating and so important.

We talk about how dance is a metaphor for life and how the teachings gave her freedom to aim for perfection in her own way. The ballet world can be very harsh, almost cruel, but it can also teach you resilience and self-awareness.

Tayla mentions how her teachers all supported her to find her own unique pathway. She gives thanks to the many important teachers who gave her hope, guidance, patience, love and support. From Suncoast Calisthenics to the Sunshine Coast Conservatory of Dance to the Queensland National Ballet. They all helped to build her confidence around her artistry and technique, and Tayla worked these attributes the best way she could.

One of the toughest times in her life was the realisation she had been training and dancing with a broken back. It ruptured her world and hit her hard. She talks about how this experience not only broke her but also humbled her.

After many auditions and lots of no’s Tayla learned from Li Cunxin from the Queensland Ballet who reminded her to remember that a no today does not mean a no forever.

We then talk about her Crazy Horse Audition in France and her first contract that came to fruition in Germany. BUT, then COVID hit and her dream came crashing down. Tayla shares how she pulled herself out of her rock bottom moment and where she put her energy to refuel broken heart.

Tayla shares the amazing thing that came out of COVID and where her life is now in regards to love and her career. And she talks about the big losses in her life.

She is one remarkable being… but then I know… I am biased!

Tayla’s definition of self-love is all about self-respect. Putting yourself out there, putting yourself first, loving yourself, embracing who you are, doing the right things for you, taking risks and taking opportunities, to want better for yourself.

Tayla’s favourite quote: ‘Don’t make a habit out of choosing what feels good over what’s actually good for you.’

The post SLP 83: Pain Always Leads To Something Better with Tayla Morrison appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

How often do you find exercise a chore? A guilt-ridden ‘have to’? For some it is even a filthy word! But if we only realised just a little bit often can have huge impact on how we feel, how we look and how we age, we might get over ourselves a tad! This week I share with you my Fab 4 In 5. Just 4 exercises done everyday in just 5 minutes, after all doing a little of something is better than a whole lot of nothing!

Resistance (strength) training helps promote human growth hormone (HGH), a great anti-aging hormone that boosts new cell growth. It also helps to boost your immune system, increase strength, shape and build muscle, burn fat and tone your skin. Research to date shows you don’t have to a lot of exercise for good results but if you at least do something every day it becomes a healthy habit that you will stay in for life. 

However, many are constantly pushed for time, don’t want to spend any more money, maybe don’t like gyms, yoga or pilates or maybe don’t even like to sweat! In fact, there are plenty of excuses why people don’t exercise! This is why I created the Fab 4 in 5 some 20 years ago, which is a couple of great exercises to be done each day that only take a few minutes and can even be done naked! If you have been making excuses its time to stop, get up off your butt and give it a go. Take it on for 28 days and you might just love the results!

If you are reasonably fit, then start with whatever number is comfortable, maybe 20 or 30 of each. But if you haven’t done this sort of exercise for some time, or any at all, then start with just five of each. The next day try an extra one and so on. The key to doing these four exercises and with good results, is to do them slowly. Count slowly to three on the resistance and three on the release. The release is just as important as the resistance. If you wake the next day feeling sore (lactic acid is one of the by-products of over extended muscles) then lower the number you started with and build it up more gently.

Here are the fabulous four exercises that should take you just five minutes to perform each morning. Chances are at the end of 28 days you may even like what you are doing and who knows what that might inspire you to take on next!

Sit-ups are great for toning the stomach and lower back. You should be on your back with your knees bent. Wedge your toes under a chair or bed to hold yourself secure. Place hands behind the head and lift from the stomach only. Keep arms in one position and look at the ceiling. Only lift as far as you can feel resistance and hold for three seconds, pushing a little farther each time.

Press-ups are fantastic for firming and toning the chest and shoulder areas. They can be done with your knees touching the ground. Take each one slowly, counting to three as you take your nose to the ground and counting to three again on the way up. Once you feel strong enough in the back and arms, try one or two in the full press-up position, with legs straight, increasing the number by one each day.

Tricep Dips help give shape and strength to the shoulders and upper arms. A great exercise to reduce ‘ta ta’ arms (you know, the underarm bit that wobbles when you wave to someone!). Find a stable chair or low table. Sit on the edge and place your arms at your sides with hands on the table. Take your legs out to a comfortable distance and, taking your weight on your arms, lift your bottom off the table but keep it as close to the table as possible. Slowly lower your body as far as you can go, hold, then slowly come up.

Squats are brilliant at helping tone the butt and legs. Stand with your feet at hip distance apart. Stand tall with hands on hips. Take a large step out in front of you with your right leg, bending at the knee and taking your body as low as you can go, but making sure your right knee does not go past your right foot; if it does you have not stepped out wide enough. Hold, then bring the leg back to the starting position. Repeat with the left leg.

The key is to remember to do these exercises in a controlled manner and make sure you do them at least every second day. It will only take 5 minutes and could be the best investment in your health you’ve ever made. Check out Dr Google or follow your favourite exercise experts for more exercise ideas, photos and videos on how to do them correctly.

Most importantly ENJOY!

The post SLP 82: Self Love Quicky – Fab 4 In 5 appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

“I really don’t know mum’s here that are loving and feeling amazing in early motherhood. I just felt like it was a very common discussion to talk about, ‘Far out I’m just so tired,’ ‘Where has my libido gone?’ ‘Where has my energy gone?’ ‘But I can’t sleep and why do I have anxiety now? I never used to have that.’ So again, possibly a little biased, but I was looking around and just going this isn’t normal, this isn’t right. This isn’t how early motherhood is supposed to be. And I started to really think about those early years of mothering and what they do to the rest of our mothering journey.”

Charmaine Newmark, is the Nourished Naturopath, an Embodied Alchemist and a teacher of earth, body and soul wisdom. This week we hear her amazing story and how she worked through her break down after believing success was doing all the things to tick the boxes of the perfect super woman. And even though this was her darkest moment it was also the greatest catalyst for a bigger awakening which has since became her super-power.

With a deep passion for reconnecting women, to the innate wisdom of our bodies and our world, she has an intuitive visual reference for what life would of been like, long before we were told ‘what healthy should be’, before the busy and before the technology.

Charmaine is on a mission to change the narratives of challenging times, to empower the next generation of women and to remind us, what it can feel like to live in this modern world, yet still remain anchored in the innate way of being, our bodies where designed to live amongst.

Charmaine’s own health journey, took her on a healing process of the gut and the mind, as she navigated recovery from depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue which she now sees as one of her greatest awakenings, and greatest teachers. She has helped open the doors of healing for many women recovering from mental health and gut health challenges and loves to practise the simplicities of healing with plants, energy and love.

Slowing down, breathing open life and finding safety and joy in the body, have been Charmaine’s greatest teachers as she navigated the constant growth points of health, relationship and parenting. This personal journey and wisdom, alongside her training as a Nutritionist, Naturopath and Embodied Healer, have really created a unique way of teaching and leading her family, community and her clients to greater fulfilment in their own lives, through body and soul medicine.

Charmaine suggests we all have a ‘Self Love Mirror’ where no nasty words are ever said. Intentionally look for something you can adore in that body.

You are going to love hearing Charmaine’s story, her journey through motherhood and her current pregnancy. She talks health, marriage, fears, pregnancy, family, healing and love. It is a real honour to share her with you.

Charmaine’s definition of Self Love –  The ability to love yourself, radically, through all of the parts of yourself you wish could be different and that you label as ‘wrong’.

Self-love to me is seeing how everything I have created and choose for my life, has been created from trying to do the best for myself. Even the traits I don’t ‘feel’ I love. 

Under the layers of self-awareness, we are always choosing yourself. We are always choosing to survive, and we are always choosing love. 

Favourite quote is:

‘It’s is not bigger than you, it is you’ – Nourishing the Mother. 

Those things can feel so hard to get through or to look at, are already part of you are coming from you. That profound peace that you feel when you meditate or attend a healing session, is not from outside of you, it is you. You did that. The next contraction that you don’t feel you can make it through, its coming from your body, it is you. It’s not bigger than you.

The post SLP 81: Be Innately Guided Through Motherhood with Charmaine Newmark appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

If you ever feel like you need an energy boost or that you want to rediscover your zest for life then grapefruit might just be the ‘pep’ you are after! In this week’s Self Love Quicky we talk all things Grapefruit. Perfect for winter and to help boost your immune system, Grapefruit is also one of the best oils to help detox the body and heal the soul.

You can use this exquisite oil in your diffuser or in an aroma mist as the most effective way to embrace its virtues.

Grapefruit is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the rind of the fruit. It is not only used in aromatherapy but also as a flavoring agent in soft drinks and as a fragrance component in soaps, detergents and personal care products.

This light, citrus oil has very uplifting effects. It is refreshing and revitalising and has wonderful detoxifying qualities – both mentally and emotionally. This can be particularly beneficial in the work place where deadlines can be pressing and demands may be high.

It is the oil to help focus on life’s positives and is one of the best oils to help nourish the soul and inspire the heart.

With well-regarded therapeutic actions grapefruit is considered an antidepressant, diuretic, antiseptic, disinfectant and stimulant.

Combined with exercise and a clean diet you can have remarkable results using grapefruit it in a body blend with oils like juniper, cypress and rosemary. This beautiful combination can be helpful for cellulite, weight-loss and fluid retention. Just make sure you massage onto the effected areas with care and gently show your body how much you appreciate – not loathe – it.

This valuable oil is ideal for treating stress, anxiety and nervous exhaustion and is perfect for people who feel wrung out, disappointed, maybe even depressed.  A great winter oil – especially when energy levels may be low – you can add one drop onto a tissue with one drop of frankincense for an instant lift. Simply tuck this tissue into your shirt pocket or bra and enjoy its aroma throughout the day.

From a skincare point of view grapefruit is particularly beneficial in helping treat conditions like acne and oily skin. Fill your bathroom sink or a small bowl with warm to tepid water, add 2 drops grapefruit, 1 drop tea tree and 1 drop lavender. Agitate the water and immerse a cotton face cloth. Gently wring out the cloth and compress onto a clean face, pressing into the skin with love and care. Repeat 3-4 times before using a natural, deeply replenishing serum or moisturizer.

An all-over body massage in the morning using 1 teaspoon of carrier oil like sweet almond or coconut and 1 drop each of grapefruit, geranium and sandalwood is a beautiful way to use grapefruit’s cooling, cleansing and detoxifying properties which can also help relieve a sluggish lymphatic system.

The important thing to remember is when we have skin conditions or health concerns it is the body’s way of communicating with us that something is not quite right. By honouring these conditions and treating them with care and high quality oils – especially beautiful grapefruit oil – we are giving the body the best chance to restore and repair.

From an emotional and mental point of view grapefruit can help to release feelings of self-doubt and frustration and it is one of the best oils to help instigate playfulness, fun and child-like wonder back into your world.

In the amazing Aroma Cards you will find the essential oil of Grapefruit is for the heart chakra and is considered a euphoric oil. It is described in 4 words as ~ Refreshing, Revitalising, Uplifting and Detoxifying.

The quote channelled for Grapefruit is:

” I recognise my self-worth and step into my power with love, grace and ease.”

‘And I also know from being through all those things that emotions pass. And moments pass. And in business if you’re having a, ‘It’s not turning out how I expected’, ‘I work so hard and this is what’s happening’, or if you go into any victim mentality or any of that sort of stuff, it’s really great to be able to sit there and say, ‘Ok, this is just in the now moment, this isn’t a moment forever.’ And to be able to either sit in that yourself and say what do I have to do to get out of this feeling or to be able to coach others to understand that this isn’t for now, how do you get out if it? What do you need to implement to either change the emotion or change the outcome? Are things that come from going through all of those highs and lows in life in general.’  Cathy Spaulding

Cathy Spaulding lost her third child tragically and as you will hear in her story this horrendous experience taught her more about herself than she could have ever imagined. She also believes it was this significant emotional event that led her to working for a company where she could work from home and protect her family but also learn to love herself and heal wholeheartedly through the power of her sisterhood.

Cathy shares how she kept going in those early days because of the love of her other children. It was tragic circumstances, and she knew she would never be the same person ever again. She does not remember how long it took to pull herself out of this big black hole but there was one day she said to herself… ‘I will not be the sad mum who has lost her child to my other children.’

She shares her story around grief and that there is no right or wrong answer on how to process it. She compares the time of 1998 when she lost her baby to the modern day now and the different levels of support and acceptance for feeling ok to go down a self-love journey.

Cathy Spaulding is a Sunshine Coast based businesswoman, a proud mum and now GG (Glamorous Grandma), a loving wife and a loyal friend. She lives a busy, yet fulfilling life, directing an empowering well-known lingerie brand, Intimo, whose soul mission is to make women feel good, every day. Cathy is an expert bra fitting specialist, who understands the beautifully diverse range of body shapes, proportions, breast types, life stages and personal preferences of women.

Nowadays, she spends most of her time being a business mentor, mentoring and liaising with like-minded entrepreneurs all over Australia and New Zealand. When she is not working, you’ll find her spending time with her family and close friends, cruising around the waterways on her beloved boat, sipping red wine and indulging in good food.

Cathy believes that everything that does come into our life definitely puts us together and makes us the person we end up being.

She openly shares her lowest of low points and the highest of highs.

She is proud of herself for digging deep and building what has now done in her Intimo business. She knows it is all about aligning with your true values that helps to build success.

She says if you are ever not feeling the love for what you are doing to ask yourself these questions:

1. Why are you doing it?

And if you are finding it hard ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you love it?

And if it’s not there you need to ask if you can find the love again or is it time for you to make a change?

Raising three children who she believes are true pillars of society is one of her proudest moments and now her two beautiful granddaughters have opened her heart even more.

She also knows the power of self-love is what helped her to value herself enough to find her most perfect husband. And she is proud of the fact she is a kind and caring woman who cares deeply for others.

Cathy’s definition of self-love is:

‘Having an acceptance of oneself. Kind words to yourself. Taking time for oneself without guilt or reasoning. Not accepting other’s behaviours that do not align with my values. And being strong enough to say no.’

Cathy shares how much she is loving being a grandparent. And the love she has for her two granddaughters is paramount. She is super excited to share her wisdom and importance of self-love to these precious beings.

Her favourite quotes are:

‘Be somebody who makes everyone feel like a somebody!’

‘The women who does not require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet!’

‘Turn your wounds into wisdom.’

The post SLP 79: The Power Of Sisterhood with Cathy Spaulding appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

There are moments in our lives where we can feel out of sorts, a bit blah or in a wee funk. It’s quite common and happens to us all, what’s not good however, is staying in that funk. In this week’s Self Love Quicky we look at three powerful neurotransmitters that contribute to our happiness and wellbeing and some quick tips to give each of them a boost along with my favourite essential oils to get out of a funk and back on top again.

1. SEROTONIN ~ MORE CALM

Sometimes bad moods and funks can happen when we feel listless, out of control, or overly emotional. This can happen when we feel overwhelmed and out of sorts.

Serotonin is a hormone and neurotransmitter that helps us feel balanced and contributes to our sense of happiness, well-being and state of calm. If you have low levels you might feel irritable or aggressive, have sleep issues, feel tired, have decreased appetite, experience nausea or crave sweets and carbohydrate-rich foods. Of the millions and millions of brain cells we have, most are influenced either directly or indirectly by serotonin – including memory and learning, and social behaviour. When your serotonin is not right, it feels like everything is not right. Research suggests that an imbalance in serotonin levels may influence mood in a way that leads to anxiety, depression and sleep issues.

BOOST YOUR SEROTONIN:

A fantastic way to naturally boost serotonin is exercise, spend time in sunshine and have a massage. You can also reminisce over things like looking at old photos or noticing your achievements, things that you have positive memories with. Some like to scroll through Instagram posts, camera roll on your phone or a box of hard copy photos. If you have a journal write down the things that have brought you the most amount of happiness, remind yourself of the things that make you feel good. You might notice you just revel in taking a nice long deep breath and you get the sense everything will work out ok. As you take deep breaths, notice the calm and you will now be aware that is the serotonin working its brilliance.

2. DOPAMINE ~ MORE PLEASURE

If  you have ever been in that “blah” mood or have feelings of lacklustre, it could be a lack of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is released when we feel pleasure, get a reward of some kind, or receive a gift. It’s the chemical that helps us strive, focus and find things interesting. Dopamine helps us regulate our emotional responses and reactions.

Dopamine is the basis for hope. It engages our brain to look out for potential rewards, and to take action to move towards them. Dopamine is our biggest motivator for fighting bad moods and and controlling our emotions and motor reactions. Research has found that dopamine deficiency results in decreased enthusiasm and reduced motivation. It has been linked to Parkinson’s Disease and obesity and people with low dopamine activity may be more prone to addiction.

BOOST DOPAMINE:

There are lots of ways to create pleasure for your mind and body. Getting enough sleep, exercising, listening to music, meditating and being in sunshine can all boost dopamine. Another way to do this naturally and easily is by creating a bucket list! These can help harness the beautiful feelings of hope, curiosity and pleasure. List 50-75 Bucket List things you would love to do with time and money as no problem. Dream big and see how you feel. There are so many amazing things you can do in your life. Don’t ever forget that the best time to get started is in this present moment.

3. OXYTOCIN ~ MORE CUDDLES AND LAUGHS

Oxytocin is a hormone also known as the ‘cuddle hormone’ because it makes us feel loved and connected. It is grouped with the happy hormones known to have a positive effect on our moods and emotions. It plays a major role in human bonding, childbirth and childcare, helping mothers and fathers feel connected and responsible for their babies.  It is when we have a really good belly-ache laugh that we release oxytocin so who is your one friend or family member that makes you fall into hysteria?

Oxytocin is crucial to understanding our moods. Oxytocin primarily is produced and affected by the people around us. Oxytocin is high at the beginning of a new relationship because our mind and body are working together to make a bond and connection. It is also why other people can change our moods so greatly—either flipping us into a happy state or spreading negativity and we allow it to effect our mental state.

BOOST OXYTOCIN:

There are a number of ways to boost oxytocin including yoga, listening to music, meditating, having a massage and spending time with pets and friends. The best way to help boost your oxytocin is by tapping into your support network. The moment you are feeling in a funk or in a bad mood, think about someone who can boost your oxytocin. Specifically, who’s the person who makes you belly-ache laugh? Who’s the best listener? Who would you love to have a meal with? Who can you hug? Call in the team! Not only are moods infectious, but they also can produce that warm and fuzzy feeling of belonging and connection! And let’s not forget the power of positive intimate relations too!

BOOST YOUR HAPPY HORMONES AND COME TO THE ESSENTIAL SELF-CARE WEEKEND

“We live in a world where everything is moving so fast, it can be easy to get swept up in what is happening outside of ourselves and forget to take the time to care for ourselves. This is an essential step if you are to realise all you can be, leave stress and reactive behaviour behind and experience the fullness and delight life is meant to be. Be kind to yourself.” – Kim Morrison

I would love to meet you in person for this weekend immersion event where you will learn many ways to boost your hormones, immune health and wellbeing. Click here for more information.

GUT HEALTH:

And let’s not forget he state of your gut health affects almost every physiological process in the human body. An unhealthy gut causes hormonal disruptions and chronic inflammation which can precede serious diseases such as diabetes, obesity, depression, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer and a number of other illnesses. If you are concerned or would like to know more around the gut microbiome and gut health then there are a number of amazing people who specialise including:

The post SLP 78: Self Love Quicky – 3 Hormone Boosters To Get Out Of A Funk appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

“I guess where I got to was, look I can probably be a bit of a conduit to sort of get people inspired about these, pursuing their passion quests and passion projects which for whatever reason often fall to the wayside, we get busy, we have kids, we get into careers that feel like they’re so extremely important and all-consuming that we forget the little simple pleasures of life.” Mike Drohan

If you have found yourself feeling like life is on a never-ending treadmill, that you are doing the status quo, have lost your mojo or feeling like you have lost your purpose and passion then you are going to love this conversation with Mike Drohan. It’s Mike’s firmly held belief that finding your extraordinary is a critical ingredient in the mix required to shift people from ‘wishing they were doing their epic’ to ‘doing their epic stuff’. Get ready to level up and step into your extraordinary.

Mike shares his experiences and ability to step up and into living his dreams. And here are 3 of his North Stars to Live Your Passion:

1. Finding and living your extraordinary way is a process, sometimes a challenge

Mike shares how he took a plunge by asking one of his greatest mentors, someone he almost idilised, to be interviewed and that simple question was answered with a yes, lead him to start his own podcast ‘Doing Epic Stuff’.

He believes there are many reasons to be inspired to root for people you look up to which includes their ability to be human, their culture and identity, their inspirational approach to food and diet, their constant desire to experiment in life as well as the personal and business synergy. Keep finding souls to inspire you.

Constantly revisit your why, your purpose and redefine your reasons for doing what you do. It’s important to make time for internal review as it can pay dividends. Look at your outcome vision, it doesn’t have to be huge or too far away. And do this often.

Ask yourself how can you effect positive change? If you are leading a lifestyle where you can do that you are going to feel pretty good. How can you amplify your own story.

An important aspect Mike shares is the management of your own time. How to take control of your time in workflow processes and habits.

Mike believes the definition of elf-love is pursuing your extraordinary and making the time to do it. It is about prioritising your passions. And if you are not sure what that is, it is anything that gives you joy.

Mike is on a daily mission: to empower more people to find and follow their extraordinary.

Why should/would he care, one might ask?

Mike’s been fortunate enough to live a life greatly enriched by pursuing his extraordinary things and, through them; experienced the sustained positive change (aka levelling up!) in all aspects of his own life.

This mission is the intersect of something he’s truly passionate about, something he can do best and something that will create positive change. If he can do all three and manage not to go broke in the process; even better!!

When I asked Mike what is he into this is what he shared:

Boot-strapping a charity event to raise $10K for Livestrong Foundation (yep; the same one that old mate Lance Armstrong was the public figurehead for before he got busted for systemic doping) in order to shortcut secure a ticket to limp pitifully participate in the New York Marathon.

Getting my but kicked Trained Muay Thai (The Combat Art of 8 Limbs) throughout gyms in Thailand.

Surfed survived some of the best breaks in the world across APAC and Europe.

Backpacked from Brazil to Colombia over 13 months (surviving multiple run ins with a severe peanut allergy along the way –oops!)

Boot-strapped a digital advertising agency (back in 2010) before I had more sense it was a thing…

Lived ‘La Vida Digital Nomad’ across 8 countries, 3 continents and 13 mobile sim cards whilst managing the demands of several major advertiser clients based in Australia.

Launched the Doing Epic Stuff podcast during a pandemic + an extremely soul crushing high stress professional role in the advertising industry

Coaching Girls under 11s basketball –‘what have I gotten myself into’

Mike’s favourite quote from Drake is:

‘You know you’ve made it when you are who you think you are.”

And finally, Mike says take control of what you want to do. Take the steps, put it in action, get started, get going. Spend time today or this week put it in the calendar that is blank. Make time for you for self-exploration and a passion lead life.

The post SLP 77: Finding Your Extraordinary with Mike Drohan appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

You only have to picture yourself walking through a pine forest to understand the qualities of this incredible essential oil. An oil of uncompromising will, endurance and strength pine has been used for centuries to help lift self-esteem and confidence and awaken one’s spirit. Here are a number of ways you can embrace its virtues and use it in your everyday life for more focus, clarity, strength, endurance and power.

The long needles of a pine tree indicate its direct power and qualities and this part of the tree is used in pharmaceutical preparations particularly for coughs, colds and flu symptoms.  Blended with oils like peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, lavender or lemon make it one of the best expectorants, antiseptic and antibacterial oils.

One of the best ways to help clear the sinuses and phlegm from the chest is by doing an inhalation. Place 3 drops of pine, 1 drop of lemon and 1 drop of black pepper into a bowl of warm to boiling water. Place your head over the bowl, place a towel over the head, close your eyes and breathe these precious vapors deep into the lungs, nice and slowly for at least 5minutes.

You could use these same oils in a diffuser to keep any bugs at bay and help create a more pleasant antiseptic environment.

Pine has a very stimulating effect on the circulatory system and can be used in a carrier oil like macadamia or sweet almond oil with oils of lavender and wintergreen as a sports liniment. You can place 2 drops of pine, 2 drops of marjoram and 2 drops of grapefruit into a warm bath and add 1 cup of magnesium salts to help reduce muscle aches and pains, and tired muscles with a build up of lactic acid.

A very tonifying oil, pine is known to support kidney and lung function and help alleviate mental fatigue and nervous exhaustion. When recovering from a long-term illness or injury pine can help increase strength, resilience and endurance. One drop massaged into the kidney region is said to be a wonderful adrenal stimulant and support.

Pine, lemon and rosemary make an excellent combination when inspiration, clear thinking and new ideas are needed. Simply place 2 drops of each into a diffuser or vaporizer, take some nice deep breaths and focus on the outcome you are wanting.

One drop each of pine, lavender and chamomile into a shallow bath is ideal to support the relief of cystitis.

A special festive blend would include frankincense, myrrh, orange and pine and make a beautiful blend to use in a diffuser for the month of December.

Pine and orange are two of the best and most effective cleaning oils both containing d-limonene which is an excellent disinfectant and grease remover. Pine is often used in room fresheners, disinfectants, detergents, soaps and body washes given its amazing purifying qualities.

Think back again to the incredible pine forest. A place for inspiration, focus, clarity and clear thinking. Pine is certainly an oil you could use in meditation and prayer.

Pine Oil Aroma Card quote says:

‘Feeling inspired, I go into today invigorated and alert, ready for anything.’

And the four words to remind you of the virtues of Pine are: stimulating, inspiring, soothing and warming.

Aroma Cards (a pack of 50 essential oils) is available when you click here.
