VIDEO: Our mind can be our best friend or our worst enemy!

Our mind can be our best friend or our worst enemy!


We get to choose. What we focus on grows, amplifies, so be careful what you think about!


We have agency, when we can catch our thoughts, recognise that it’s our thoughts that determine how we feel inside and we can challenge or gently be curious about these thoughts and instead attune to what’s going on in the here and now, in the body.


This is our reality, what’s really happening in the here and now, in our body.


So when we drop into the body, breathe into the belly, exhale for longer than we inhale, ground ourselves - then we can come into the here and now and recognise what is true for ourselves in the here and now; are we safe in the here and now, or have our feelings been running amok and creating the physiology of stress rather than rest.


When we come into the body, come into our truth - we can come to that beautiful state of rest instead.
