• Do you celebrate the tiny wins? The small steps? The almost imperceptible shifts? The “half-way there”, new beginnings and “I didn’t do so badly after all”? I know I never used to. But celebrating progress and tiny shifts is a powerful act of self-love that builds your self-belief muscles. What can you celebrate right now? Pictured: my favourite tea and the new teapot I gifted myself to celebrate sending my coaching certification application✨

  • ✨I’m a finalist in the @bycacademy Awards for Trainee of the Year Award!✨ It’s an award given to a Beautiful You coach that the Senior Trainers judge to be the most outstanding, committed and encouraging trainee of the year. This is a huge honour and I could not be prouder! Finding coaching was a pivotal moment in my life, and training to become a coach with the BYCA team under the guidance of @julesyparker was one of the best decisions I have made. It is hard to express in words the energy and support that I felt throughout my training l and in person at the Inspiration Day from both my trainers and fellow coaches. I am only just starting my journey as a coach, and there is so much I want to do and share, but one thing I know is that my training has given me a solid foundation based on heart, purpose and service. I really cannot wait to see what will unfold in my coaching and creative journey. But for now, I’m just going to sit here with a big smile on my face and savour this achievement 😊🎉❤️

  • This morning, the stars must have aligned in a particular way because I managed to find half an hour to play music and sing before starting work. After that my morning of work just flowed. I felt relaxed, focused and in a great mood, getting a ton of admin done. So perhaps the key to productivity is to allow ourselves time for the fun part first, instead of keeping it for last, when it inevitably ends up being overlooked? Of course this doesn’t work every day (any parent will tell you the concept of a “miracle morning” is a load of cr*p when you live around unpredictable small people) but perhaps when everything does align for you, you could try and sneak your passion and pleasure to the very top of your list for a change? #nourishingtheartist

  • C O M P A R I S O N kills creativity ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all do it. Whether we’re conscious of it or not. We compare our style. Our output. Our skills. Our purpose. Our popularity. And how could we not? With everyone sharing their work online, an innocent, curious look can quickly turn into a spiral of self-loathing and wanting to give up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But your creativity is a sacred thing that lives within you. It is the physical expression of your life force. The way you view the world around you. Your vision. It tells the story about the unique path you’re on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comparing your creativity to others reduces the act of creating to a performance contest. It makes us feel like there is not enough creativity or ideas for everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Comparison brings a finite mindset to an infinite process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Try to pay attention to your comparison triggers and thought patterns. Catch them in flight and simply say “not now.” If that means you need to stay in a bit of a bubble for a while, that’s absolutely fine. Creativity can be fragile and vulnerable at times. It is your job to protect it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to compare your work, look at what you were doing a year ago. Five years ago. Ten years ago. Reflect on your own Artist’s journey and how it keeps unfolding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You totally got this ❤️
