Amplify July - 30 Days to Boost Your Life

I recorded a 'live' last night. In it I explained the following:

*Why we should pivot away from fixing our mental health to nurturing our mental WEALTH

*How we can stop escaping from life and start leaning in to its richness through the art of Presentism

*What is our Bucket 🪣 of Biology and WHY it’s so important to understand our own ‘human operating systems

*How to recognise your BAND AID 🩹 BEHAVIOURS - ie: those habitual things you do to ‘get you through the day’

*And finally, I also shared THREE tangible tools to ease anxiety including one that stops panic attacks in their tracks

This video won’t be up for long so you might want to check it out!!

Evening peeps! I’m now going live to chat about all things Mental Wealth🐝

Happy Welcome it in Wednesday peeps!

One of my friends is starting the most amazing project and is looking for a venue to run her dance classes🪩 from in the Walsall / Streetly area - it NEEDS to have mirrors!!

I’ve linked her Instagram post below, but for those of you who don’t have insta here is Kel’s message….👇

Do you love dancing around the house or are you missing nights out
and boogying?

Look no further! If you live in Walsall and/or the surrounding areas. I need you! I would love to bring this amazing, fun, energetic class to you, but l'm struggling to find a venue that fits the bill- can you help? It needs to be located near Walsall/ streetly/arboretum and with mirrors please?

If you haven't heard of Turn'd up it's a great way to get fit, that feels like a night out with the girls!

Unleash your inner Bey or JLo, lose weight, tone up and in the case of this video start to LIKE YUH SELF (if you don't already- because you should!)

Not only will you burn calories, you'll also boost your self-confidence and have fun, with sassy routines you just won't find anywhere else.

Each week I’m hoping we can get together, dance, laugh and shake off the stresses and strains of life -something we all absolutely need.

As well as improving your fitness levels, your positivity and your mental health, Turn'd Up Fitness is an inclusive, non-judgmental class and a great way to make new friends. I would love to welcome you into our girl gang, just need to just need to find a home for us!

Thankyou, DM me with any info and hopefully see you on the dance floor!

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IF YOU

A. CAN RECOMMEND A VENUE
B. WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND

I WLL PASS ALL YOUR MESSAGES OVER TO KEL. ❤️

It’s CHOOSE DAY - Tuesday and there’s no video today, however I’ve written you a post about something that I feel very passionate about!

Whilst on my hols I’ve been reading Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. As I write this post (on a gorgeous beach in a little bay in Crete) I’ve realised that I was once on a radio show with Oliver Burkeman discussing happiness!

Anyway, back to the main point of this post - the content of this book is very relevant to ‘CHOOSE DAY -Tuesday’s’ as it’s message is about how we CHOOSE to spend our time, and what we CHOOSE to take action on.

The premise of the ‘four thousand weeks’ is that if you live until you’re 80, that’s roughly how many weeks you’ll get —this figure is, as Oliver Burkeman states “absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short.” (And that’s of course, if you do actually make it to 80.)

But putting aside how many years you, I, or anyone else has left on this planet, 🌎 we all have a bit of dilemma on our hands, and that’s our own delicate relationship with that time.⏳

This is something that, for me - both personally, and professionally has become my passion project. This is why I created and teach ‘Playing with Presentism’, and why it’s HOW WE SPEND OUR TIME that matters!

As Burkeman notes early on in the book, given the relatively short time frame of even the longest life, time management should be everyone’s most pressing concern. “Arguably,” he points out, “time management is all life is.”

But it’s not time management in the personal development / ‘10 Ways To Get Things Done ✔️ in Less Time’ genre, it’s the idea that the limited amount of time we have on this planet 🌎 isn’t just something we have to manage; it’s the defining feature of human life.

The fact that our existence is finite means that even the smallest decisions we make throughout the day close off countless other paths — other options for what we could have done with our time and, thus, lives we could have lived.

Every CHOICE we make is both life expanding and life contracting. As Burkeman puts it, “Any finite life — even the best one you could possibly imagine — is therefore a matter of ceaselessly waving goodbye to possibility.”

So today, spend more time purposefully and consciously being PRESENT to each moment you can be aware of, and recognise that each decision you make is actually a decision about how you want to live!

Happy MAD Monday everyone! Hopefully, you’ll now know that Monday’s purpose is to MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

When you set out to intentionally spread kindness and positivity to someone else’s life, it enriches your own - ten fold.

In the video (which was recorded in lockdown) I share a message that is just as relevant today, two years on.

It’s a BIG reminder of how precious this life really is, and how we should not waste the 86,400 seconds that are gifted to us each day.

The time that we are given, can never be banked for a rainy day, it has to be spent! So, this is why I’m so passionate about ‘spending your time’ with purpose and intention.

As you know, it’s not possible to go back in time and replay your day, so set the intention that today’s 86,400 seconds ⏱will be ‘spent’ pollinating your little place on the planet 🌎 with love, kindness and joy.

Sundays are SSHHH SELF LOVE ❤️ SUNDAY’S!

Sunday’s are the day to sshhh the shoulds, sshhh the criticism, sshhh the judgement, and sshhh the complaints.

We all have an inbuilt negativity bias wired into our brain- body- system that’s designed to keep us safe, and protect us from potential threats.

Unfortunately, in this overstimulated 21st century life, this survival mechanism has maladapted to focusing heavily on the negatives in our lives.

One simple way to counterbalance this is to introduce the NO COMPLAINTS CHALLENGE on Sshhh Self Love ❤️ Sunday’s.

The video explains all!

https://youtu.be/sGmCnIJ5ZTg

I promise you, this little practice has the potential to drastically improve your mood, and in turn change the entire trajectory of the coming week!

As previously stated - I’m currently away on my hols 🏖🏝 so I’m sharing some of my content from my Big Happiness channel that can help you to continue to Amplify July!

The Daily Bee 🐝 for Saturday’s is SILLY SATURDAY - this is the day to purposefully schedule the fun, laughter and connection.

This connection is not only to others but also to the beauty of nature that surrounds us.

One of the many things competing for your attention and, therefore disconnecting you - is most likely, the thing that you have in your hand right now - your mobile!

Watch today’s video to learn how you can start connecting to nature more purposefully throughout the rest of today - with the help of your phone!!

Welcome to FEAR & FINISH FRIDAY!

There are so many things that we try and escape from, avoid, or ignore (in the hope that they’ll magically disappear). It’s very often FEAR that’s at the root of our avoidance, and this often leads to a myriad of unhealthy (and unhelpful) procrastination practices.

FEAR is a physiological response …

F- Feeling
E- Emotion
A- Activates
R- Reaction

Understanding that physiological aspect of fear and knowing you have the ability to ‘interfere with fear’ is a game changer! You can ADAPT the response so that fear doesn’t get a grip on you!

F- Feeling
E- Emotion
A- Adapting
R- Response

So, Fear & Finish Friday’s are the day in which we utilise our ‘adapted response’ to help us to FINISH our week on a high. How good will it feel to finally do all the uncomfortable things that you’ve been putting off for weeks?

Today’s little video shares a brilliant bio-hack for your brain 🧠 called The ‘I Notice The Thought Reframe’.

This, once again places some space between ‘the stimulus and response’, it helps you to stop 🛑 identifying with fearful, anxious thoughts, and instead BE THE AWARENESS of these thoughts 💭 that are so frantically running around in your mind!

Once again, the video is from my Big Happiness channel - enjoy!!

As promised, here is today’s THANKFUL THURSDAY post!

This video explains the self reflective Reframe technique; STING, BUZZ, HONEY, BEE 🐝

This technique will help you to not only identify the things that you’re thankful for, but also help you to be more aware of ALL experiences from your day.

It helps you to step back and observe them all with more compassion and acceptance.

Hi peeps! Just a quick note to say that that I’m now away on my hols so that’s why there was no post for yesterday.

I could be worrying and beating myself up for not posting yesterday, but I’m not. It is what it is, and I know that everyone following this feed will understand!

To make sure you get what you were hoping for, I’ll share two posts today that were pre-recorded during our first pandemic lockdown.

Wednesday’s are all about WELCOMING IT IN!

What are we welcoming?

ALL EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS, AND SENSATIONS.

It’s the day to focus your attention and intention on ALL that you experience, to stop resisting the negatives, to stop pushing away the pain, and to stop escaping from the uncomfortable!

It’s the day that you lean into the feelings, thoughts, and sensations that the conditioned and programmed life has taught us to move away from.

In my video (from my other YouTube channel - Boost with Big Happiness) I share in more detail how to do this!!!

Enjoy, and I’ll pop back later with some thoughts about THANKFUL THURSDAY!
