Not sure about you but it’s blowing my mind that we only have under two months of the year left.
The last month or so has been a huge inward journey for me, oh hello Scorpio season.
One thread that I have kept coming back to is keeping my promises to myself, even when, especially when things don’t turn out how you expect.
So getting up and going for that walk even though it’s raining, or meditating for 10 breaths not 10 minutes.
That’s how you build consistency.
That’s how you build trust with yourself.
And without that trust you aren’t going to stick to these things when it gets hard.
So practice when it’s easy, if it doesn’t feel easy, pull back a little but never completely.
Keeping these promises to ourselves can help keep us balanced and live intentionally.
With the changing seasons and being fully in autumn we often feel ready for a change in habits too so this really is a great time to reassess.
I recently re-considered which habits I wanted to commit to, so let me share how I came up with which what would serve me best.
⏰ Choose which time of day you want to create a routine around. For me, it was morning and then when I get ready for bed.
❣️Tap into how you want to FEEL in these moments. This sets an emotional intention behind the habit. For example, in the morning I want to feel energised and connected to myself, and in the evening I want to feel calm and clear-headed. Often people miss this step, but completing this part of the process gives you a WHY behind your routine.
🧘🏽♀️ Then consider which habits will have you ACHIEVE these feelings. Do you get that feeling of calm when you meditate, or when you go for a walk? If your intention is to have some time to yourself, how would you most enjoy spending it? Perhaps reading or a bath?
✍🏾 Create a menu of habits to choose from if you prefer a bit of flexibility in your routine. Having options can help you feel you’ve got some choice and not like it’s a “should” that then becomes something self-punishing!
Have you been trying to commit to a new habit or routine? Looking for guidance?

If you’re longing for a sense of purpose, a semblance of meaning, a sign or affirmation that you are on the right path, it would probably help to begin with understanding what purpose really is.
I have learnt that purpose isn’t always loud.
It also isn’t just one thing.
It’s not exclusively a job or position, vocation or calling.
It’s not always your art, it’s not always your business, though it can often be those things
The truth is that your purpose is far more dynamic & deeply embedded within the truth of who you are than you might recognise at first.
Your purpose is something you are already living.
Your purpose is a role you play, firstly, to yourself.
It’s the relationships you have.
It’s the way you care for others & how they care for you.
It’s how you exchange love.
It’s how you bond with people & break with others.
It’s not what you do, but the way you do it, day in and day out.
Every time we interact with someone, you are creating a cascading, ripple effect through humanity.
You cannot imagine how deeply this web of connectivity is woven, how much a single act of kindness can affect the world at large, how powerfully one soul showing another true love can impact the way that person interacts with every other person they come across.
Your first & most crucial task is your commitment to your own becoming.
Your first purpose is to be here.
To be weird & extraordinary & exceptional.
To think & feel & know & wonder.
Our purpose is not just something we do.
It’s really something we become 💜

What makes you feel better?
What makes you feel worse?
Could it be you, and how you choose to see life, to live life?
Do you really need to indulge in this or that to feel better, or run away and hide?
Or could you find it in yourself to elevate your attitude right where you are, as you are?
Responsibility is there for the taking.
See what happens when you let go of the excuses and take ownership of your own attitude.

I am the face of Full Circle Coaching.
I’m not a secret, you will have seen me over the last year all across socials, promoting my business, promoting myself and the importance of investing £££’s in yourself.
Celebrating myself, celebrating my clients.
I am the wind beneath their self development wings.
My clients love me and I adore them.
The ripple effect of good that's radiated by our collaborative work makes me so grateful & proud that I have created the opportunity for myself to follow my purpose.
Heart centred referral is my main source of new clients and I don't know if you've heard but every single one of them that has collaborated with me has left feeling empowered.
All of that sounds a bit boasty doesn't it?
Despite it being fact, how did reading that make you feel?
Are you happy for me?
Are you triggered?
Are you bored?
To get seen and heard you have to get comfortable with self promotion.
No one will ring your bell for you.
You have to do it yourself first.
In a noisy world of voices you need to make peace with stepping into your power.
People WILL hate it.
You WILL be the topic of conversation behind your back.
Some just won't understand it.
Why are you so big for your boots?
Who do you think you are?
It's a reflection of the level of comfort they have for themselves and the culture of humility in women, the taming of women.
Please find ways to get comfortable with this being true and not relevant to your next move.
For every person who hates it, there is another inspired by it.
We unlock doors for each other in the show and tell.
How would you feel about writing a post like this, about yourself?
Happy Friday my loves 💕

Listen with humility.
Listen with curiosity.
Listen without the need to prove anything.
Listen to the noise and draw energy from it.
Listen to the silence and draw peace from it.
Listen to time as it unfolds.
Listen to life as it grows in meaning and depth.
Listen, then speak in your own voice about all you hear.

You were never meant to find home in a temporary world.
Other people were never meant to love you into a feeling of safety and security.
You are here to make a home within your own heart.
You are here to learn not that you don’t need connection, but that without being connected to yourself, nothing is viable.
You are not here to burrow yourself into a life someone else built, but to find courage to create your own.
Your chest is where peace is.
Your heart is where love is.
Your mind is where inspiration is.
It is nobody’s else’s job to make us feel safe, to make us feel that all is right and well.
Until you are at home in your own heart, you will never make peace with the world.
What you have to realise is that home is not an idea, it’s not a place, it’s a way of being.
It is the way you show up to your life and make it your own.
Making a home within yourself is knowing you will always be okay not because everything will go the way you planned, but because you will adapt even if it doesn’t.
Making a home within ourselves is knowing that we will always move forward not because it won’t be hard to let go, but because we can do hard things.
We are here to realise that we are the source of our own existence, of all that we create, of all that we are.
We are here to bring ourselves home, and then to show others the way back to themselves.
Happy Friday my loves 💕

Know where you want to go. Start where you are.
Understand what is necessary. Make use of what you have.
Invest the time as it comes your way. Persist until you reach your objective.
Learn from every consequence. Improve with every effort.
Life is largely a matter of what you do with it, moment by moment, day after day.
The quality you’re willing to put in determines the quality you’re able to experience.

Life has something important to tell you, are you listening?
Wonder and beauty surround you, can you be open to being inspired?
There is so much to learn, experience, to work through, to give, will you?

Speak from the heart, and you will always speak the truth.
Live from the heart and no matter what kind of world you encounter, you will always find a way forward.
Watch life with your eyes, but see from the heart.
Listen with your ears, but hear with your heart.
In your heart is wisdom you may sometimes not fully be able to articulate but you wouldn’t ever want to be without.

Last month, I took a trip to Ibiza.
One of my favourite islands in the world & the party capital of Europe
Having frequented the island every year since 2015 I had not been back for a couple of years. Since I started out on my self development journey really.
In my mind that Island & that kind of holiday was for an ‘old’ version of me, the girl that drank every drink under the sun & danced till the sun came up & came home battling a come down with a hella lot of self loathing & bad decisions.
But not this year.
When I started to feel the urge to go back, I jumped straight in.
Being back in Ibiza & I was still the girl that likes to drink every drink under the sun, dance till 5am in sweaty clubs with 1000’s of other people, talk to strangers from a place of connection knowing as we are all in the same place we all have something in common, take a hungover dip in the ocean the next day & go again.
I didn’t meditate or turn to any of my grounding practices while I was there but I was still that girl too, who felt so grounded & I slipped right back into those practices when I got home.
This time was different, there were no self loathing moments or dark comedowns once I returned home but a heart full of beautiful memories & the best Ibiza trip I have ever had & yes I danced till 5am & drank every drink under the sun every day I was there.
Realising that, that part of the ‘old’ version of me, she definitely has a place in this new version of me.
I did not need to disown her. But love & embrace her, because she is me.
With grace & comfort I know that I can hold both these versions.
Why did it feel so different this time though?
The inner work.
Over the years, finding the love, acceptance, peace & freedom that feeds my soul within myself, rather than the external validation.
When we come at anything from a place of self love, balance & harmony the entire experience is transformed.
Let this remind you of the duality we find around us & most importantly within us ☯️
And know we can hold both with grace & ease, we just need to trust ourselves enough 🌹
Happy Friday my loves 💕
