Almost four years ago (around the time this photo

Almost four years ago (around the time this photo was taken), Chris and I were planning a tree change and so excited about finally realising our ten-year dream. What we didn't know was that just a few weeks after arriving in our new home, we would also be dealing with a major health crisis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In an article in today's @theageaustralia, I wrote about how we navigated our way through Chris' cancer diagnosis and how in some ways, it changed our lives for the better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thankfully, he was one of the lucky ones and his health and prognosis are now very positive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Huge thanks to @amybett_ for the invitation to be the first guest on her new podcast, The Choice. It was such a lovely opportunity to share a little more about my book. (I’ve included a link in my bio in case you’d like to listen ). ✨

Repost: My very first guest on The Choice with Amy Bett Podcast is the incredible Kate James! @total_balance Kate is a Life Coach, Mindfulness Expert and best selling author of 6 books including her latest release, Change Your Thinking To Change Your Life. The book has been written as though you are sitting in Kate’s office and she is taking you through her practical and insightful coaching process from start to finish. Anyone who reads this book will experience major life transformation, of that I am sure! 🥰 In this episode we delve into -
+ What style of meditation is right for you.
+ How to allow worry and anxiety move through you.
+ Why understanding your core values will lead to life fulfilment.
+ How to move forward with goals and desires despite feeling fear.
+ Why it’s so important to make your life beautiful now. ✨ I hope that you enjoy listening and apply some of Kate’s wisdom to your life! Xo I have included a link to this book in my podcast show notes so that you can purchase yourself a copy! ❤️ 📷 @breeanadunbar

"You have the answer. Just get quiet enough to hea

"You have the answer. Just get quiet enough to hear it." Pat Obuchowski ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mid-way through last year, I struggled to write the final chapter of my book. We'd been in lockdown for a couple of months and I'd been writing for close to a year. I was so near the finish line but somehow the words just weren't there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was a week over deadline and completely frozen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"What I feel like doing," I said to my daughter, "is taking the day off and going to the hot springs." Which felt entirely irresponsible given it was one of the final two days I had negotiated to write.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Go," she said. "Just do it."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that is exactly what I did. It was the middle of winter and there was a momentary break in restrictions. The mineral springs were open and when I arrived there, the place was incredibly quiet. Stepping away from the world for those few hours gave me the space I needed to think.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Later, I took my notebook to the dining room and while I waited for a pot of herbal tea, that final chapter just wrote itself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re feeling stuck or can't find the clarity, the inspiration or the energy to complete a task or to think straight, maybe it will help to step away from your usual routine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shut down your email, turn off your phone and take yourself to a place where you can find quiet. If it’s not possible to leave home right now, create some mental space by listening to a few guided meditations or doing an online yoga class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you find your way to stillness maybe you'll also find (like I did) that the answers you need are already here. ✨
