In this episode, we’re super excited to chit chat to Amarjot Bhogal. Amarjot works as a coach to help people feel ease in their currently stressful lives, and has a passion for empowering women and reminding them to Shine their Light. Amarjot is on a quest to understand self-love as deeply as possible and to share her learnings with as many people as possible, through her self-love research project.

Amarjot believes change happens over time, and enjoys supporting people through that change and challenge, to create more happiness and resilience in their own way.

When it’s not easy to slow down, especially when you love what you do, Amarjot reminds herself to listen to her body, because it tells her what she needs to know. Slowing down is always useful, and being with mother nature and trees is regenerating for her. Amarjot loves dancing in the kitchen whilst cooking, diving into other worlds through reading and watching fantasy adventure and crime thrillers, and is currently loving playing with calligraphy.

In this episode we dive into:

• Amarjot’s burnout and recovery from cancer. Setting up and running her own resilience coaching and training business.
• Tools implemented to recover from personal struggles and ill health
• The tell tale signs for women in particular that need to slow down
• Most common scenarios seen today in women regards to burnout
• Advice for women going through burn out

And so much more!

Daily routines. This can be a tough one.

Is any day the same? No. Is there a right or perfect time to carry out your daily rituals? No. You have to do what works for you. And we are all different. Try not to fall into the Comparison/Google/Scroll trap - what works for you, might not work for others.

It is, however, good to get some routine into your mornings to get ready and “primed” for the days, and ultimately a successful one.

Mornings can differ. That’s OK. Make it work for you and your family and your lifestyle. It depends on you. Are you creative in the morning? Are you sharper then? Use that time to work and create and do your routine a bit later.

Routine Tips:

• Don’t look at your phone until you have done certain things
• Carve out time - even if it’s 5 mins a day
• Breathe. Just sit and breathe and observe
• Meditation - don’t put a time ‘must’ on it
• Pop to the loo to take 5 minutes out of your day
• Journaling - what your day will look like, reflection, conversations and meetings you'll have that day and how they will work out, issue, theme
• Read a book
• Listen to a podcast or audiobook
• Movement - yoga, walk, run, cycle, gym
• Be mindful - with food, people you hang out with, your thoughts… EVERYTHING!
• Learn. Choose to learn and apply learnings yourself, rather than being fed or relying on someone else

Tools:

• Insight Timer - meditation timer, guided meditations, courses and more
• Down Dog Yoga App - varied ability and length yoga practice
• Balanced diet - good food and a good relationship with food - check out Anna’s post
• The great outdoors - GET OUTSIDE!
• Friends - share with others and try out different activities to help you become more selfish!
• Get rid of emails/Instagram Accounts etc that don’t serve you!
• Essential oils that can promote positive feelings and support you daily

When overwhelm, fear, pressure, lack of control strikes - DON’T BE HARD ON YOURSELF! Have boundaries. Be true to you and respect your own energy.

There is so much you could do but let’s face it, it all depends on you and your lifestyle and your time.

Both Anna and Nicola are HUGE believers in choices. And we all choose to do things, or not, on the daily. They are realists and we don’t always practice what we preach BUT we try to do know a few things, and thanks to experience, we know that a little change and simple practice can do a whopping amount.

4 Tips to Become More Mindful Around Food Welcome to another episode of The Selfish Podcast. Today, Anna and Nicola chat all about mindful eating, why this is so important in today’s society and how you can implement 4 easy strategies into your life to help you become more mindful around food. This episode will be particularly helpful for anyone that is struggling with restricted dieting and irregular eating patterns, eating on the go and over consuming. Women that are struggling with finding the balance between creating a healthy lifestyle but still allowing some unhealthy foods in moderation. Mindful eating is so foreign for many women these days, with women having more demanding schedules, more tasks and more expectations of themselves, taking time to nourish themselves in a healthy way can often be at the bottom of the list. Anna uses mindfulness techniques with her clients to help them create more stable eating habits that can help women with losing weight in a healthy sustainable way. She sees women leading mindless lifestyles and doing many daily tasks on autopilot and on many occasions this includes food. Working at your laptop for long periods and eating while on the go are all situations that make mindful eating very difficult. This is because there is no awareness, no attention to eating itself as you are focused on something else and so this can often lead to overconsumption or that feeling that you haven’t actually eaten. 4 Tips To Become More Mindful Around Food

1. Eating slow
2. Checking in while eating your meals
3. Eating at regular intervals
4. Removing negative self-talk

Anna and Nicola discuss that how they try to be more mindful around food in their busy lives. They agree it’s not about eating perfect, small steps and even have one mindful meal a day is progress.

Meet Anna and Nicola. They met in at a wee outdoor spot in Amsterdam, to chew the entrepreneurial fat over an afternoon cuppa. They connected via a mutual online hub geared toward female entrepreneurs, and they both say, it was like they had been sent to each other. Both female entrepreneurs and dabblers in leading a more balanced, mindful, self-caring lives, they spent hours gushing over business, its highs and lows, journaling, visualisation, manifestation, leading a healthy lifestyle and more. 

From that moment, they continued to support and lean on each other. They figured there must be heaps more women in similar situations! Did they feel supported? Were they suffering in silence? Did they need a community or an outlet for everyday women to connect with and learn from? The initial idea was to just launch a podcast, but after some consideration, brainstorming, and let’s face it, more talking, SELFISH.in its entity was born. With heaps more to come!

In this episode:

- Meet Anna and Nicola. - Find out how SELFISH came about- Learn what's to come - Self-love - Self-Care -Self-Help
