Last week we talked about common cognitive distortions – many of you resonated with this topic, so this week I thought we could explore some ways to work more effectively with these distortions.

You can use one or any combination of the methods described in the podcast to combat irrational thoughts and cognitive distortions.

Try them out and look for the one that seems to work best for you because we all respond to different methods.

I also recommend listening to last weeks podcast first if you haven't already.

Negative thought patterns, otherwise known as cognitive distortions are thought patterns in our minds that convince us of something that isn't true.

These thoughts are usually used to back up our negative thinking. We tell ourselves things that sound rational and accurate but really only serve to keep us feeling bad about ourselves.

In this week's podcast, I'll be helping you to identify any cognitive distortions that may be ruling your mind and keeping you in patterns of stuck-ness. 

Sometimes we need a quick hand out of a funk. In this podcast, I'll run through some super easy techniques that you can use to lift you out of a bad day.

This may seem like an odd question, but have you ever considered your relationship with time?

​

Most of us feel incredibly frustrated when it comes to time. I continuously hear my clients tell me, "I don't have enough time" or "wouldn't that be great if I had space to do such & such”.

​

Not to mention our societies gripping fear of ageing, regret, and wasting time– that is a lot of pressure we put on ourselves regarding time.

​

The truth is, most of us have a pretty adversarial relationship to time.

​

There's never enough. We're always behind. It goes by too fast. We can't do important things because we don't have enough time.

​

This week I talk about how daily (or even weekly) spiritual practice can redefine our relationship with time, so we end up feeling we have MORE time rather than less time.

​

I give you lots of actionable tips and tricks to help you redefine your relationship with time so you can start using it in a way that serves you and your spiritual goals better.

This week we're getting practical! I want to share my understanding of Sacred Objects and how they can be used in our spiritual practice and daily lives.

Despair. It's something that most of us will experience at some point in our lives. 

It can feel all-consuming, but there are things we can do to get out from under it. 

This episode takes a deep dive into despair and how we can overcome it. 

Self-worth is such a big topic! And yet, it is a symptom of deeper issues, not a problem in itself. So focusing on low self-worth can sometimes be detrimental.

In this week’s podcast, we’ll look into the symptoms of low self-worth and what you can do if you find yourself having these issues.

In this episode, I'm covering toxic positivity which is defined as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralisation of a happy, optimistic state across all situations.

The toxic positivity process results in the denial, minimisation, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.

You can't truly be positive while burying and denying your feelings. 

As usual, there will be lots of actionable hints and tips to help you avoid this trait and focus on working through your emotions in a healthy way so that you are a more balanced and whole person.
