Inspiration, guidance and support to create freedom, peace and purpose.
When your energy is limited a long hot summer can be extremely challenging. Heat is energy draining and when we have little to start with, it’s no fun to have it drained even further. Add to that the challenges of sleeping when it’s not only too hot but there are barely 6 hours of darkness … Read more

For a long time, I’ve seen it as necessary to prioritise my self-help and self-care over having a life. Mainly because without taking good care of myself, I know I’m going to be too unwell to have a life anyway! However, I’ve also realised how easy it is to get caught up in the worry … Read more

A few weeks ago, I was struggling with some serious headaches that didn’t seem to respond to pain killers. Even though my energy wasn’t affected I felt nauseous if I moved too much, so I was really wiped out. For a few years I’ve been getting headaches during allergy season, so at first, I put … Read more

This is a post I wrote about 6 weeks ago now and was first published by ProHealth’s Inspirational Corner about a month ago. I’m happy to say that the strategies I describe here were extremely effective. Trust brought me the peace I needed to heal, and as things improved slightly I was able to invest a little more … Read more
