Maintaining balance will be the key to you reaching your potential.

Firstly I would like to acknowledge, it can be difficult with responsibilities, children, house work, social commitments, care giving commitments… the list I could create could be long…

There are going to be times in life where reaching your potential in different areas of your life are going to slip however this does not have to be all of the time. Communicating with friends, family, colleagues, people you chose to surround yourself with at a time where you wish to adapt and grow will be nessisary. Making yourself vulnerable through communication will be your key to success. Making those people aware of the plates that are dropping during your struggle to maintain balance. What you are struggling with to achieve your goals. The commitments they may have to take off your hands. The emotional impact that you are experiencing - positive and negative.

The people around you should be supporting, celebrating and pushing you forward not holding you back from your dreams, happiness and achievements.

Which is where you can’t underestimate the energy you are giving to others, outsourcing your energy has a limitation! If you are giving all of your energy to achieve a goal right now, say that is to gain a promotion at work. Your focus on your relationships (romantic or not) or health won’t also be able to be a key focus. The same if you are trying to have a perfect schedule/routine in every area of your life…

Health,

Wealth,

Relationships.

Spinning all plates, wanting perfection or calm in all three areas has to stay in your dreams. I can assure you it just is not possible. If you want to reach your potential in an area of your life, this is where understanding balance is key. This is what will allow you to have focus while having a flexible mindset to adapt, take time and make adjustments to your priorities with a calm mind to reach that potential within you.

When we don’t have calm in the mind our nervous system struggles to regulate leaving us with the thought ‘Will life ever just stop for a moment?’.

The world to stop going around. People to be quiet. No movement around because you maybe feel totally overwhelmed and out of control? Well I want to reassure you that you are not alone. This feeling often comes when we are put in a learning phase of life. This can bring emotions strong enough to create thoughts that don’t make sense to you. They can come and go. They can fill you with upset, anger, confusion, delusion, doubt… the list could go on. This phase of your life will pass and I encourage you to be patient in this time. As hard as it can be, give yourself time to understand this phase. Journaling, talking to a loved one, moving your body in a way that feels right for you, feeding yourself with nutritious foods to replenish your energy, ask a friend to stay the night or hug your partner tight. This growth phase is not one you have to do alone.

Like I said before the people close to you should want to see you flourish and when you flourish you should see your connections thrive but that all starts by being vulnerable with yourself and others.

I learnt this when I struggled to be vulnerable.

I have always been one to want to hit a target; sales, salary, weight… because I was in desperate need to prove my success to people that I shouldn’t have to ‘prove’ anything to. This meant I suppressed my feelings and was in toxic relationships, jobs that were ethically immoral - that were below my worth and I was fluctuating weight constantly. I was always chasing the next thing in an attempt to forget what I really needed to address. As soon as I decided to actually take a stand, ending that toxic relationship that was mentally degrading me, leaving that job that was making me feel like a needle in a hay stack and started prioritising myself over the friendships that wanted me when it was a good time for them, or because they wanted to get drunk or because they could gain from my low state in a selfish act of absorbing the small amount of energy I had left…

II hadn’t even been able to see it was happening in all of the chaos and the only way I stopped the chaos was to do the hard thing of communicating.

The clarity and realisation I now have, takes me right back to when I remember starting to feel this way at the age of 10! 10!! The child trauma. The friendships that didn’t work. The subjects I enjoyed the most at school. The topics I went on to study. The jobs I decided to take. The companies that I felt never believed in me. The relationships that gave me different lessons. It all lead me to here.

Drama, business and english all my best subjects at school then continuing my studies into media production and the focus of work being around different human emotions and reactions, leading to sales roles, some selling the joy of travel, others coaching on the tactics of communicating with different personalities, to then being incredibly lost after a trauma, to then acceptting all the wrong jobs, relationships, friendships, actions that did not align with me because I was just surviving. Experiencing a ride of different traumatic events during it all and making some incredible memories all in the mix. But the last part of accepting less than I was worth, lead me to take a stand, to be who I genuinely knew myself to be, with no judgement or need of acceptance…

I had gained confidence to no longer need validation from people who didn’t see my worth and i no longer needed to prove myself to anyone, as I had already proven to myself what I am worth.

I put myself first with action, fell in love with myself and the most incredible woman who made me truly understand the meaning of soul mate, that gave me the courage to be honest with my sexuality, giving my self worth back to myself to follow my pursuit of showing the differences in personalities and the gift that this brings leading me to a job that reflects every part of my studying, career path, passions, working to give back to a community empowering their beliefs….

So this is your calling to ride the wave you are on, some won’t be as smooth as others, but resist your gut instinct and the journey will only be be turbulent, follow this and you will soon have a clear path of where you belong.

Hopefully this can help you find direction…

Taking care of the three elements of health -

🧠Mind

🫁Body

🌳Spirit

Is essential for your overall health which will lead you to finding balance.

Your mind - Practicing mindfulness, self-care, seeking emotional support when needed and engaging in activities that bring joy, reducing stress.

Your body - Regular physical activity and a balanced diet work hand in hand here. Exercise can help boost mood, improve heart health and increase overall energy levels. Eating a nutritious/whole food diet will provide the necessary fuel for your body to function and feel its best.

Your spirit - Connecting with something larger than yourself, whether that's through meditation, prayer, spending time in nature or joining a meaningful community. It's about finding a sense of purpose and inner peace.

With every aspect of health being interconnected in various ways. When one aspect is out of balance, it can affect the others. Nurturing all elements of the interconnection of the mind, body, and spirit health allows you to exist in a harmonious state, leading to a greater sense of overall wellbeing and fulfillment.

Synergy - Your mental health can impact your physical wellbeing. For example, stress and anxiety can manifest as physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues. Keeping your mind healthy through practices like meditation, therapy, or mindfulness can improve your overall wellbeing.

Awareness - Paying attention to the interconnection of the mind, body, and spirit can help you become more self-aware. Understanding how these aspects influence each other allows you to make conscious choices that enhance balance and contentment in your life.

Holistic Approach - By addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit simultaneously, you can treat yourself as a whole being rather than focusing on isolated problems. This holistic approach  involves finding meaning and purpose in life, this can lead to a greater sense of wellbeing and balance from the sense of connection.

Resilience - Building strength in all three areas of health can enhance your resilience to stress, challenges, and life's ups and downs. When your mind, body, and spirit are in balance, you are better equipped to navigate difficulties with grace and maintain a sense of stability.

Which one do you need to prioritise nurturing?

Allowing you to find your balance?

There can be obstacles in the way but the more your needs are left unattended the more obstacles will come. Allow yourself the time you deserve to give yourself what you need.

The truth behind rewiring your mind to skyrocket your confidence, health & wealth to overcome these obstacles is bringing awareness to the stage of life you are in. Allowing you to embrace the changes in life that are needed to let yourself grow with happiness.

We often can get consumed in our thoughts, getting stuck on one stage of life rather than embracing the present moment. Understanding the stage you are in, brings acknowledgment, understanding and kindness to yourself.

Are you aware of where are you now on your path to growth?

Comfort - You are balancing the pillars of life (Health, Wealth, Relationships, Personal) which is bringing you a sense of contentment.

Stand up for your happiness - From the previous phase of comfort you had time to gain clarity on what no longer brings you happiness. You communicate your feelings and needs to bring you future happiness.

Change - You make adjustments to your pillars of life, with the aim to regain balance.

Embrace your vulnerabilities - You bring awareness and understanding to your feelings and the emotions that the change has exposed.

Discomfort - When we experience times of change we can often doubt ourselves, making us judge and question the decisions we have made. This creates discomfort. You have to have the strength and trust in yourself to over come the discomfort as much as you will want to go back to the comfort.

Let go - Bringing forgiveness to the pain that was exposed from the change, having gratitude for the now to allow yourself to let go of the past.

Acceptance - Being aware of the reasons for needing change and having understanding of your decisions.

Trust your intuition - Trust the feelings you have within you. If you feel anxiety that is your body telling you something needs to change. If you feel calm and a strong sense of self you are on the right path. Trust yourself.

Growth - You are embodied in your authentic self allowing you to excel.
