The more kind we can be to each other, the more kindness we’ll see that we also need to impart to ourselves. #ican #thementalhealthlady #depression #anxiety #ptsd #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #soulcare #soulwarrior #mindfulness Quote4

Have you noticed when you want to do something for yourself, 500 (I exaggerate!) other things appear that need to be done? Here’s the thing with anxiety. Our mind wants to stay safe. You’re going to need to override that motherboard and choose you first in order to break down those walls you’ve built around you. And I know you can do it! #breakingdownwalls #ican #thementalhealthlady #anxiety #depression #ptsd #soulcare #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalillness #soulwarrior #alive #mindfulness Singlesawareness-day-3

You know the days you just can seem to get your motor running? Remind yourself you’re doing enough. It’ll take the pressure off, help you notice the thoughts you have comparing your life to others and where you want to be, and get you right back to this moment. Then take just the one next step. Somedays it’s all we’ve got. One next step. #onenextstep #ican #anxiety #depression #ptsd #aspergers #epilepsy #mentalhealth #thementalhealthlady #menshealth #womenshealth #soulcare #soulwarrior My-Girl-Loves-to-cuddle-on-Rainy-days-💜-copy

How does this come into effect in your life today? This lady was a trailblazer in her time, disrupted what society said she could or couldn't do. If you are wanting to create a better future for yourself, what is the status quo in your life you'd begin disrupting today? Where do you need to get out of your comfort zone?

#keto result for week 5. My 4th time of 30mins on the gym bike revealed how keto is changing my brain, literally. Each time I could increase the level I did on the bike and it stretched my focus to the point where I got home Friday and slept solidly for two hours. My brain was exhausted. But, I’m SO happy! This means next year my brain will be more well, and the year after, hopefully, on track. The time line doesn’t matter really as the trajectory is moving forward! Yay! Next week I’ll do comparison photos, and even I’m floored how much I’m changing in this short amount of time! #ketoforlife #mentalhealthrecovery #anxiety #depression #ptsd #epilepsy #aspergers #mentalhealth #ican #soulcare #soulwarrior #thementalhealthlady #mentalhealth Keto
Day-7

Do you ever have those days when recovery seems to be taking forever? I know I do, and they can be emotionally draining. For me it’s a sure sign I need a good rest, and to tell the voices in my head to sit down and shut up! You know, those conversations you have with yourself? The ones where you always win? Yep, time to take a rest, rest the mind, so we can reevaluate our one next step. #onenextstep #ican #rest #anxiety #depression #ptsd #aspergers #epilepsy #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #soulcare #soulwarrior #mindfulness Recovery-is-challenging-because-solitude-is-necessary.-

Respect for our differences, the ability to apologise from our hearts, the willingness to learn, understand and grow, with a primary goal of peace between us are the best ingredients for any type of relationship. Whatever this long weekend holds for you may you join together with others and sow peace into your hearts. 💖💜 #thementalhealthlady #ican #anxiety #depression #ptsd #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #soulcare #soulwarrior #mindfulness #toxicfamily #peacewins #respect 605E842A-C781-46EF-99A7-1BA6DE9C3051

Yes, you, you are loved. Generations prior to me were you are seen and not heard, no emotional intelligence and don’t you dare talk about your emotions, I’ve found so many people need to know they are loved. Gosh, I remember the day I found out my grandmother had come from interstate and was visiting her son, literally 2 minutes from me, and had been there 3 weeks and she hadn’t told me. I broke down in tears over the phone to her as I loved her so much and couldn’t believe she’d not let me know. I was allowed to come and visit her provided I didn’t bring up my emotions. She was also the grandmother that told me not to cry at my grandfathers funeral so that she didn’t get set off. I share this not because my grandmother was bad, she just came from a completely different era where there was zero time and space for emotions. Love was dished up in the food she cooked, how she thought to make my favourite slices before I came to stay for school holidays, in our shared passion for watching the football, knitting, doing find a word, and singing and laughter! Always plenty of laughter! So when you reflect on the fact that you were never told you were loved and could never talk about your emotions, choose to remember the good times as you acknowledge the generations before us had no idea, no language, to handle emotional communication. #thementalhealthlady #anxiety #depression #ptsd #ican #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #soulcare #soulwarrior #lovewins Recovery-is-challenging-because-solitude-is-necessary.-

Once there was a time I didn’t think I’d ever have a reason to smile again. That time seemed like so far, far away. I used to say I should take up shares in @kleenex_au because I cried so much! However, as you do your self awareness work, take time to heal, that’s when tears of Joy come, and you’re using Kleenex for a whole different reason! Time for you to blossom dear friend! #thementalhealthlady #ican #soulcare #soulwarrior #anxiety #depression #ptsd #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #kleenexforlife #lifewins Singlesawareness-day

Problems present us with unique opportunities to seek out new information, better ways to live, answers we’ve never thought of before, and always the challenge to be more vulnerable, love more deeply. With the internet at our fingertips there is zero reason for not seeking out a different way to do things. If we don’t add to what our family of origin taught us, then we can never change us for future generations nor can we give our children permission to seek a better way to live than how we raise them. There is always a more healthy way to do life for all of us as new information about the brain, about relationships, etc. come along. #thementalhealthlady #ican #anxiety #depression #ptsd #menshealth #mentalheatlh #womenshealth #mindfulness #lovegrows #soulcare #soulwarrior #lovewins #solutions #creativityforlife Recovery-is-challenging-because-solitude-is-necessary.-

When we experience trauma as children our brain references everything that happens daily through that trauma. So, yes, we have to retrain our brains as adults to focus on today, and the peace we can create in our day to day lives. Our mind, however, is only one part. The deepest part of us, our soul and our spirit contain wisdom and knowledge for our lives. Cultivating peace within us through meditation and a relationship with our Creator has the ability to set us free. Let’s do this! #ican #thementalhealthlady #anxiety #depression #ptsd #menshealth #womenshealth #mentalhealth #mindfulness #soulcare #soulwarrior #lovewins Singlesawareness-day

Risk doing what your heart and soul is needing you to do. It seems risky because sometimes we just don’t have an explanation as to why we need to do things. When we learn to trust our knowing above what the voice of the world shouts at us, we move into miracle territory. Remember, it won’t happen overnight, but it will happen 💜💝 My-Girl-Loves-to-cuddle-on-Rainy-days-💜

Day 28: The annual sinusitis showed up this week presenting me with a swollen face , BUT with the acupuncture, keto and antibiotics I'm still managing gym most days. Previous years this didn't happen, so I'm over the moon. Eating only 2 meals a day is weird, but I'm literally not hungry and don't crave anything. Just amazing! Super stoked with making 30 minutes on the gym bike, and then today feeling blah and figuring there's no way I'll make 30 minutes. However, I was able to persevere and make the full amount of time. Without the changes Keto is doing in my brain, there would have been zero way I could have focused for long enough. Soooo looking forward to this time next year, then in 2 years, hopefully, my health will be super close to 100%. It doesn't happen overnight, but now I know it will happen. Keto
Day-7

Trying to work out how to fit in used to do my head in. You know the feeling? It’s like a circus performing in your head as your heart is trying to work out who’s who, and what’s what. Here’s what I came to understand. I only cared about what other people thought of me because I had zero clue who I was, why I was here and definitely a lack of self-esteem. Like in the negative self-esteem. I can laugh now because I understand at the end of the day when I put my head on my pillow if I’ve given the day everything I possibly can, then I can rest. I will never change what anyone thinks of me, good, bad or the ugly, but I can love them through their lack of self-esteem, their hard times, their journey and teach them how to laugh again too.

Don’t be defeated, I write, after a challenging couple of months. How do we keep smiling when trauma invades our lives, repeatedly, and it’s all a part of this life? There’s only one way I know how, build the love of Christ up inside of me, keep focused on my dreams, and work towards them even when part of the work means rest. I’m smiling, it’s Monday, another beautiful day to pursue my dreams and to encourage us all that the love abiding within each of us is more powerful than any obstacles we will face in this life.

Sunday in Sunny Brisbane, and what’s not to love? Looking out my window a sun shower is happening! Are you having a restful day to prepare for the week ahead? #thementalhealthlady #ican #anxiety #depression #ptsd #mentalhealth #menshealth #womenshealth #christianhealth #mindfulness #lovematters #restisnecessary @mentalhealthbuz-2F-LoveRISK.org_

Three simple words “I get to” transform our day from “I have to” into feeling peace and joy that I get to get out of bed, I get to do my housework (??!!) I get to write, I get to share love, I get to do hard things. Three simple words have you acting in gratitude, no matter your circumstances. Even if you’re doing hard things, you still get to do them and feel thankful that you can. Feeling thankful changes our whole disposition. We realise how fortunate we are to have our lives. Remember to share this with your children too as it’s very empowering. #thementalhealthlady #ican #anxiety #depression #ptsd #menshealth #womenshealth #christianhealth #mindfulness #overcomer #soulcare #soulwarrior #mentalhealth thanks to @turiapitt @megankgale for the inspiration and living inspired lives!

Stoked! Keto is changing my body from the inside out. Today I achieved 30 minutes on the gym bike, and I’m over the moon happy. I’ve not been able to do this until I started Keto 3.5 weeks ago. Who’d have thought that your body needs this much fat? Not me! I definitely bought into the diet industry decades ago that said zero fat, and have barely touched it. Last night I heard our brain is made up of fat cells. Talk about depriving the brain! My focus is getting better, my body is finally able to start shedding the weight, and I’m able to begin achieving more at gym. I’ve longed for this day for ages. In regards to eating Keto, you’ll know if it’s the right time for you, or not. Your body will also let you know what kind of way of eating is good for you. Yes, weight loss is not just about the food, but working out the way of eating that your individual body needs is important, or the weight remains.

Yesterday was brilliant. Different nationalities, literally from around the world, different faiths, different age groups, different personalities and so forth, all came together to produce a documentary where hopefully the public can see that even in our differences there is love. I woke this morning to people hating on my daughter and attacking me as a mother. Simply because I’m Christian and she’s Muslim. Seriously? When our basic need as a human being is to belong, how can you consciously choose to shut people out of your life simply because you don’t agree with their choices? The mind boggles at just how wounded your heart is, and just how closed in your life is and the real question then becomes do you need help healing your wound, and are you going to begin the process of healing the trauma in your life? And then the ultimate question, How big is your God? I know the Lord I follow and have dedicated my life too works for the good of those who love Him, and have been called according to His purpose. And we are all called. So just for today, reach out and touch someone else’s heart, because then your wounds will begin to also heal. Please know you are loved and hold an even greater power of love inside you that once you’ve done the work to heal your heart, you will never treat another human being without respect or kindness.
