smiling inside and out
Best friends that unlock their internal best friends...
.
Two key messages we all forget to tell ourselves.
.
I’m lucky to have these girls in my life who remind me of this too even when my internal best friend has gone quiet.
.
Love yourself... you hair, your tight hamstrings everything! You are amazing, unique and brought to the planet to be you! Share your you-ness with everyone!
.
Do what makes you happy... like what makes your soul sing! It takes courage to prioritise yourself and sometimes you just need a little reminder.

When I think back to my low days I remember how harsh I was on myself... how negative my internal chatter was. Somehow I had become my own worst enemy.
.
From that day onwards I promised to only talk to my self as I would talk to my best friend... making sure the internal conversation I used was positive, encouraging and empowering.
.
We all have the biggest hearts for others and know how to hold space, share love and be there for others... so now I’m asking you to become your own best friend.
.
So here’s what #mybestfriendthinks ... she believes in me. She keeps encouraging me to do what I love and share it with others. She tells me I can do whatever I put my mind to...
She’s the voice I need to hear when I feel unmotivated as a freelancer, when I run events that have no interest or when I start to doubt myself.
She’s my best friend.
.
Over the next week I’ll share stories from other students, friends and family! Please get involved and see if we can become our own best friends.

When was the last time you walked just for the joy of it?
You stopped to listen to the birds around you... the rustling of the trees... the feel of he ground beneath your feet?
.
Going for walks in one of my favourite toolkits for dealing with anxiety and stress. Being outside with the sounds around and moving but with no rush to get anywhere... just being there in that moment and sinking in.
.
If you want to try out a mindful walk then join me on Saturday! Venue will be the incredible Hyde Park and we’ll explore parts of the park you would have never visited before!

A weekend for me.
.
After coming back from holiday it seems like I’ve been living life 100 miles an hour. I’ve noticed myself getting worked up easily, hangry and working on less than 8 hours sleep.
.
I always tell everyone to prioritise themselves, rest and sleep and I knew it was time to listen to my own advice.
.
After teaching two classes in the morning I planned a date day with my husband! We went to @we_are_vegan_everything (which by the way is my new favourite location in London!! I do not mind that it takes me an hour to get there! I may spend all my time there now!!) then to natural history museum for the wildlife photography exhibit (NHM was actually one of our first dates). Ate lots of ice cream, enjoyed the sun, cloud gazed and bumped into my oldest friend.
.
Today after a full 10 hours of sleep I feel like a new person, ready to share all my love with you all at classes next week!
.
How do you reset at the weekend?
As we draw towards the summer I think of the amazing evenings we have planned for you on our retreat.
.
Camp fires, glamping tents or even bring your own tent!
.
Let’s sit under the stars, meditate, journal and soak in these summer days together.

Places still available.

Daily gratitude journal.
.
Since I’ve got back from my holiday I’ve set myself the challenge to journal everyday... it’s so easy to slip into bed and fall asleep but everyday I take 2 minutes to note down a few things before bed.
.
Finishing off with 5 things I’m grateful for everyday. I close my eyes, feel that gratitude deep within my body, smile and send that love and energy back.
.
So today I’m sharing my gratitude list with you all. - My incredible friends near and far, who are always there to support me.
- Nature... because it’s incredible and always love the energy, vibe and feeling being around trees, mountains or water.
- Food... the amazing vegan chocolate doughnut I had on the way to class last night that kept me going.
- My amazing husband... because he really doesn’t get enough of a shout out.
- My flexible schedule that lets me make a timetable that works for me.
.
What are you grateful for today? Let me know...
.
Let’s share the love.
