So, I wrote this blog post about a month ago, then I sat on it, rewrote it, and have now rewritten it again.
Why did I do that? It was a masterpiece!
Maybe it’s because my office that day was in Fiji.
Maybe I felt guilty celebrating how lucky I was – to be in Fiji, to have been invited to experience incredible properties for future conference groups and wellness retreats, while everyone else was stuck at home, freezing their bazookas off in the cold and torrential rain…
No… not funny
I don’t know… why do we do that? We — not just me.
Why do we talk ourselves out of moments when creativity sparks and the words flow, but when it comes time to share and bare our truths, we freeze?
Perhaps it’s that fear of judgment, though I thought I was past caring about things like that.
Maybe it’s that I feel I have so much to say and don’t know how to say it?
Maybe I’m really just writing for myself and it doesn’t matter who reads what I have to say – those who are meant to read it, will…
I don’t know!
One thing’s for sure, this blog post is certainly different to the previous version I wrote and then sat on…
that version went on existential tangents, because that, my friends, is how my mind works.
So, for now, I’m just laying low, burning my tongue as I sip on boiling hot tea… as I continue to contemplate the universe.
Last month certainly was exciting!! lots of industry events to attend, showcases, and a famil trip to Fiji thrown in.
The title of my blog, ‘This is my office today…’ was really meant to be an inspirational post — one that highlights that you really can create the life you want.
I’m still working at it — but to be reinventing myself again at age 50 still takes me by surprise sometimes.
My life has shifted and continues to, in so many ways!
And I guess perhaps I feel there is stuff within me that I want to share…
It’s energetic 🙌
There’s more… so much more, than what we’ve been conditioned to believe.
A little nudge, perhaps, my friends – to aspire to shift yours in some small way, shape, or form… toward something you truly desire??
Not what anyone else expects, but what YOU truly want.
It doesn’t have to be a big grandiose gesture….
At a conference many years ago I met Dr Phil, and during a session he was asked a question about how to effect massive change — and in true Dr Phil fashion, he answered:
“How do you eat an elephant? 🦣
…HELL, start by chewin’ on an ear!”
Sounds simple enough?
That’s it. You start small. You don’t have to overhaul your entire life overnight.
Keep at it until the neurons in your brain start forming new pathways that begin to interrupt the old ones.
Over time, those new patterns override, and eventually replace, the old.
New neural pathways that shift both your body and your mind.
That’s how neuroplasticity works… neuro – brain + plasticity – to mould or shape = the brain’s ability to change.
It all starts with the smallest, most subtle shifts…
How do you speak about yourself and your life?
Are you speaking from a place of power, or from a place of victimhood?
How do you carry your body?
Do you walk with slumped shoulders and a sense of defeat, or with an open heart and a feeling of purpose?
How do you respond when something wonderful happens, even something tiny? Do you celebrate your wins, however small?
It’s all about shifting perception, mindset, and everything in between, one small step at a time.
So that’s it for now, my friends — keeping it short and sweet for a Saturday night.
Just wanted to say hi… 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve been keeping quiet for a bit, so felt like dropping in.
What I will say is that a lot of the content I’ve been writing and developing runs deep.
It will form part of my workshops and sessions for my wellness retreats, which I’m working on launching soon…
and I’m excited like a giggly little girl about it!
If you think you might be interested in joining my upcoming retreat — scheduled for the first quarter of 2026, send me a little message!
Happy to delve deeper if you are…
In the meantime, I send you all my love ❤️
Yours in Energetic Health,
