What happens when The Universe listens to you

For the past few years I’ve been feeling … bleh ๐Ÿ˜›


No energy, aches and pain in my body, a feeling of heaviness, the list went on …

I turned 70 last year and on one hand I don’t believe that the number of birthdays impacts your vitality on the other I had a battle going on with what society has to say about it.

Trust me, they have much to say and you suddenly get treated very differently!

My body was giving me lots of messages that it was old – pain, heaviness, lack of stamina, brain fog, lethargy …

I took the first six months of this year off to focus on myself, to decide whether I would close up my business or continue on with a structure and at a pace I could manage moving forward … long story which I won’t bore you with here.

I started back working, dipping my toe in. I listened and The Universe listened and slowly the clients started to arrive and I was invited to collaborate with different people.

I was still concerned that I wouldn’t have the stamina if I got busy, so I know I had the brakes on.

Then I read a post by Tamala Ridge, who I had followed, and been impressed with, for years. What she wrote spoke to my soul and I knew The Mental Health Wellness Company was the right fit for me. It was what I needed and also my clients.

Because that is what my work has been about for the past thirty years – supporting people with their mental, emotional, physical & spiritual health.

Now here we have something new in the mental health and wellness space which has never been done before in Australia … and it’s only just arrived here!

At last, a company focusing on mental health.

After the last few years everyone needs support for their mental health.

I know how crucial our gut health is, I have read heaps about it. I understand the relationship between it and the brain, and how important it is to get your gut microbiome balanced.

Did you know that 95% of serotonin is made in your gut and only 5% in your brain?

50% of dopamine is made in the gut

And 400 times more melatonin is produced in the gut than in the pineal gland

It’s easy to see how imperative it is that we take care of our guts!

Then I heard about Happy Juice, a product that worked on the gut / brain axis and the results women were having was amazing. It ticked all the boxes for me. It doesn’t affect the nervous system, it directly targets the gut by utilising specific strains of pre, pro and meta biotics to completely regenerate your gut microbiome. Sounded amazing.

But first I had to try it myself before I talked about it

I have tried SO many things over the years.

I made a promise to myself that I would listen to my intuition and my intuition told me to get it!

So I started Happy Juice ๐Ÿฅค (the name says it all!) 8 days ago and I was saying to a friend how different I felt, yet it was hard to explain.

As I pondered on how I felt ๐Ÿค” and realised:

๐Ÿ’ƒ I feel lighter inside! (I guess it’s because the heaviness is lifting)

๐Ÿ’ƒ I have more stamina

๐Ÿ’ƒ I feel motivated, energised

๐Ÿ’ƒ I have more clarity

๐Ÿ’ƒ Ideas for my business are flowing

๐Ÿ’ƒ Pain in my body has diminished

๐Ÿ’ƒ Reflux has diminished!

๐Ÿ’ƒ Sugar cravings are disappearing

(I was using sugar to give me energy ๐Ÿ˜ … I know, I know, it makes the inflammation and reflux worse)

๐ŸŽŠ . . . and the most amazing thing (and this is what’s hard to explain) ๐Ÿฅ

I have no anger inside me. I realised as I was talking to my friend and then as I thought back over the past few days the things that used to both me are not there, I just shrug my shoulders now.

Wow! ๐Ÿคฏ

I can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds and share it with you

If you’d like to know more comment Happy Juice ๐Ÿฅค below and I’ll send you some info

PS I’ve just been out gardening and I realised that not only do I feel motivated and energised to do something physical … I feel alive!! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŽŠ

Self-Responsibility

We hear that word bandied around but what does it actually mean? It means taking ownership of your decisions, your words, your actions, and all the consequences that come as a result. It means acknowledging the role you play in both the successes and failures

The importance of loving yourself

“The fundamental problem that most patients face is the inability to love themselves.” Bernie Siegel MD

I remember reading his book Love, Medicine and Miracles back at the end of the ’80’s and it resonated so deeply with me, something shifted inside.

Women of my generation have been taught to be perfectionists

We were taught that we need to be all things to all people

We were taught that to do something for ourselves,

to think of ourself was selfish … the very worst sin you could commit it seemed

Then you had people screaming that women can have it all

You could have children, be a mother AND have a high powered job

You could do anything and everything a man could do

What happened as a result of those high expectations was a generation of women who exhausted their bodies and their spirits trying to pack in all that they thought they were supposed to do

Be the 1950’s housewife with the perfect home & perfectly behaved children
and at the same time compete with men in the corporate world.

What an unsustainable, insurmountable goal that was!

In order to attempt to juggle all those balls in the air women had to sublimate their own needs to the needs of others.

When that happens our emotions have to shout louder and louder in order to get out attention

and because there is no time or space to focus on ourselves, plus we’ve been taught that to do so is wrong
thoughts and emotions get pushed further and further down
and that’s when the physical symptoms begin

[I read that martyrs experience chronic resentment – that was so me when my children were younger!]

When you look at this very simplified explanation you can see the problems this created,

both in my generation and the generations to follow.

Each generation tries to rebalance the wrongs they felt the previous generation inflicted upon them

I see the same things manifesting in my clients,
each generation having their own set of issues
and most of them say they feel stuck.

At the crux of all of it is the need
to be seen and heard, to be validated and acknowledged

and how quick the turnaround and change begins when that happens!

Focusing on yourself is not selfish,
experiencing pleasure is not selfish,
they are both crucial for vibrant health!
