Life is opening up again, but let Lola still be your guide 🐢 
(Re-post since I managed to spell ‘health’ wrong before 🤣🤷🏼♀️...) Thought I'd drop this in here in honour of #WorldHealthDay today... The theme for this year is equality and fairness in health – one of most important issues society faces. Essentially, some people have the luxury to think about their health, while others do not. In case you hadn't noticed, so much of "wellness" is exclusive, prohibitive, and also, frankly, pretty bullshit. Health and "wellness" are so often used interchangeably, but they are very different things (and I know this innately, having previously studied and worked in global health...) Health has nothing to do with a £25 exercise class or a green smoothie, but rather is a profoundly complicated and multi-faceted concept, both on a personal level and a global one. Wellness is most often a very individual-centred industry, with an image (generally - white, thin woman) that is simply used to sell us more stuff. So I invite you today to ignore anything to do with "wellness", and to instead think about the kind of health that we can all, no matter our circumstances, strive for - the health of our thoughts and the words we use to communicate with others. True, it's not going to eliminate global health inequities, but it's a healthy mindset shift, and (I think) that's a good place for many of us to start 💛 #healthnotwellness 
Channeling Big Bird 🐥 Happy Easter all 💛🌻💛

Plum found my free Mindful Moment sessions on Insta during lockdown 3 and I couldn't have been happier to hear that she now takes the tools and methods and integrates them into her daily routine! This is really the aim of my work - my hope is that eventually you won't need to do any guided sessions with me... you'll just be living the MM method day-to-day! Have you tried Mindful Moment yet? I'd love to hear how it's helped you!? Let me know below 👇🏻 💛 #mindfulmoment 
While plenty of people are looking forward to the non-stop partying, I know many others are feeling really apprehensive about lockdown ending... I shared my top tools and advice for adjusting to life post-pandemic for @buro.london 💛 Many thanks to @gwyther & @dangarbergarber for sharing their experiences with me 🌻 Link to read via ‘Writings’ in bio 👆🏻 
Annoying truth: Life is always going to happen 🤷🏼♀️ It's going to be messy and complicated and most of all just HARD sometimes. There is nothing we can do to avoid that... however, we can set ourselves up so that we can deal with life more effectively if/when it comes at us... Here are 5 simple mindset suggestions to help you better navigate your world this week. It may seem like small stuff, but it adds up I promise. Bookmark for when you need a reminder 🌻 Personally, I find No.2 makes a huge difference to my outlook. Which one do you find most helpful? 👇🏻💛 #mindsetcoaching #mindsetcoachingforwomen #positivemindsettraining #sundayselfcaretips #mindfulmoment #getreadyfortheweek 
🧠MENTAL HEALTH & THE LITTLE MOMENTS💛 For a long time my mental health wasn't great, and for an even longer time after that it was on unstable ground – easily disrupted by life's many challenges. When I think about the things that have led me to a place where I can say that I have very strong mental health – even in the face of difficult, life-changing events, of which there have been a few – I don't have one big incident in mind. Rather, it was a matter of gradually, gradually, gradually... and then suddenly, life was different. Small changes, little moments. Discovering a daily mindfulness practice, learning to control my thoughts, using breathwork to manage my emotions, accepting myself and others... It all added up to something very robust. So that now I feel very lucky to say that I have a mind that (95% of the time) works FOR me, rather than AGAINST me. If that resonates with you, then I'd love for you to join me in this week's Mindful Moment Insta lives where we'll be covering small, positive mindset changes to help with those mental health 👿 demons 👿 - stress & burnout. Today (Mon) & Thurs, 8.15am GMT for 15 mins of meditation, breathwork, movement and a deep dive into improving your mental health. It was good to have a week off last week, but I'm excited to be back and hope to see some of you there 👋🏼💖 #mindfulmoment #breathworkforrecovery #breathworkmeditation #growthmindsetcoach #mindsetcoachforwomen #innerbalance #calmthemind #meditationinspiration #reconnecting #mentalhealthsupport #freeinstameditation #graduallyandthensuddenly 
Honestly, I am the absolute worst at this. I naturally lean towards constant busyness, & tend to listen most often to the part of me that says DO MORE, NOW! (In fact in our house it's a running joke that whenever I say I'm exhausted and won't start a new project for at least a few months, you can almost guarantee I'll be taking on something new the following day...) It's something I really need to work on, so I've been trying to do just that this week. I admitted to myself that I needed more rest – both mental and physical – and took some time off from certain commitments, and I definitely feel better for it! How about you? How are you feeling? It seems like in not too long now, the world is about to come flooding back in, so... Do you also need to take a step back today and prioritise rest? And if not on a Sunday, then when!? Aaaaand, if the answer is yes, but you're not sure where to start, then I have so many videos & recordings to support you with this on Mindful Moment. Start your free 7 day trial today, and roll straight into my Sunday Self Care retreat - a collection of practices guaranteed to help you step back, press pause and truly rest. Link in bio 💛 
It's a meditate from bed kind of day! One of my favourite aspects of building Mindful Moment was creating ‘Collections’, whereby I put together a selection of videos for specific purposes… Really feeling the energy drain from this growing bump at the moment, so this week I've pushed pause on a few work commitments and decided to commit to doing my ‘7 Days of Mindful Moment’ Collection – 7 hero practices, one for each day to help boost, motivate, invigorate and bring about a feeling of calm. Now obviously I will not be watching my own videos – I am not a psychopath – I'll just be doing the practices I’ve laid out each day. I started with the 10 min Positive Change meditation this morning (from bed), and tmr I'll do a 30 min (bump adapted) Energising Yoga Flow. And so on for the rest of the week… I can’t wait for Sunday, when I can enjoy @aaron_horn_ 's 60 min Healing Sound Journey, maybe even from the bath…? If you too could do with a boost this week, I’d love for you to join me in trying 7 days of these simple but transformative practices – click the link in my bio to start your FREE TRIAL today 💛
