⚡️Your nervous system is easier to track than any invisible cosmic fairytale.
Your nervous system is a living, breathing, divine blueprint that supersedes all cosmic fairytales.
Your nervous system IS the cosmic fairytale.
Translation: Less chanting mantras. More building safety in relationships. Read this again.

In the company you keep, one of the most foundational aspects
of high value is trust. And note that the trustworthiness of our company can increase or decrease based on the psychological environment we create for others.
Always try to create psycho- logical environments that appreciates and respects honesty from others so the company you keep associates you with a place for their truth to thrive.

The balance between intention and surrender is a delicate one. Intention is getting clear on what we want, and surrender is trusting in the best outcome. On the one hand, if you over intend, you’re trying to make things happen; on the other, if you over surrender, then you’re lazy, lethargic, and you’ll make a minimal effort. It’s a bit of a razor’s edge, which is why I think we have to lay down the very thing we’ve used our whole life to get what we want, for something greater to occur. It sounds easy enough until we have to put it into practice.
If you’re familiar with my work, by now you’ve heard me say a thousand times that to create something out of nothing, we need to match a clear intention with an elevated emotion. But that’s just the beginning. Next, we need to remain in the energy of that creation—day in and day out. (This is where our meditation practice comes into play.) Then, we surrender the how of how our creation shows up. This means we’re not only trusting a greater mind is organizing our creation in a way that’s right for us, but we allow it to unfold in a new and different way than what we had previously planned or anticipated. Think about it—if you knew what to do you probably would have done it already. That’s called the known.
But the moment we start to feel frustrated, impatient, angry, or resentful, however, we’ve disconnected from the energy of our future, and more than likely it’s because we’re trying to force, control, predict or manipulate outcomes. Why does this happen? Because those emotions cause us to feel separate from our creation; thus, we’re not surrendering, allowing and trusting in this greater mind. Instead, we’re approaching creation as matter trying to change matter, rather than our energy organizing matter. If you are trying to control and predict when and how it should happen, then you’re back in the known. That’s because your prediction is more than likely you ‘thinking’ about some known possibility from your memory of the past and trying to forecast that outcome into the future.
We would like to share with you exactly how to apply this in your life on our upcoming live stream, link in our bio to learn more! ❤
Focusing on mental health
.
This week marked ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’, a global effort to normalise discussing mental illness, conditions and wellbeing. Honestly, the posts I have seen on Instagram on this topic have been incredible. I have shared some of my favourites below
.
While the conversations about mental health are starting to happen more readily with acceptance and normality on social media, I feel the same is not as common in day to day life. Feeling mentally safe in every aspect of your life is so important, face-to-face experiences included
.
We need to make it normal to respond ‘I’m not good’ when asked ‘how are you?’. .
.
We need to make it fully accepted to take sickness days for mental health. .
.
We need to make it okay to tell others ‘no’ when you are burning out. .
.
We need to be able to openly discussion chronic mental health conditions in order to let those suffering know they are not alone and our ears are ready to listen. .
.
We need to feel no shame in talking about our mental health
.
I myself have definitely gone through spells of mentally not being fine but tried to ‘breeze’ over it in the presence of others. This made me feel ten times worse when I was alone. So I am a huge advocate for talking through your feelings, leaning on your loved ones and seeking advice from medical professionals. This should be the norm ❤️
.

Why do we crave sugar?
.
Do you have a sweet tooth? Does a meal not feel complete without a sugary finale? Do you demolish an entire bag of Percy Pigs in a 5 minute sitting? Your brain may be to blame for driving your sugar addiction
.
I am OBSESSED with sugar and really struggle to say no to a treat. This is not just a case of weak will-power but a physiological response. Sugars are carbohydrates which stimulate a quick increase in blood sugar and insulin release when eaten. This ‘fast hit’ alone does not satisfy your bodies energy requirements so you are soon reaching into the bag for another sweetie to keep the sugar spikes a’comin
.
The neuroscience of sugar cravings lies in brain regions associated with addictive behaviours. These regions are stimulated by dopamine, the ‘pleasure’ hormone, and serotonin, the ‘happy’ hormone. For example, when drinking high-sugar milkshakes, MRI scans revealed activation of the nucleus accumbens in brains of men which were not seen with milkshakes devoid of these carbs. Sugar activates reward pathways in your brain, giving you a pleasure hit, as well as stimulating the learning of this experience. So next time you see a cupcake, your brain remembers the pleasure it’s intake induces. Plus, following the sugar rush, you brain dopamine and serotonin crash, leaving you sad and craving more
.
What are the consequences of too much sugar on your brain? Excessive sugar intake has been described as damaging to synaptic activity (chatter between neurons) in rat brains, potentially caused by a insensitivity to insulin. Although insulin is vital for managing glucose storage in the body, it also works in the brain to regulate aspects of cognition & reward memory. If general insulin levels drop due to excessive sugar intake, you can experience brain fog caused by reduced stimulation of synaptic activity. There has also been links to high blood glucose and neurodegeneration, which could make sense. The less ‘firing’ a neuron does, the weaker its connections become and the more likely it won’t survive ☁️
.
Basically, excessive sugar intake may not be good for your brain. But in moderation, a cheeky doughnut won’t hurt
