I love creating and I love being organised particularly as a New Year starts.
I have decided to be very organised in 2021, not just because I find it's easier to manage my life. It is also because I have many different things to juggle. Do you feel the same way - that you have a lot to juggle and that you want to be more organised so you can achieve your dreams and goals?
I have created two calendars that you can download for FREE - you can just Click on the Links Below.
I have also created an amazing Tracker and Planner for 2021 with many different pages that you can download and use to make 2021 so much easier to manage.
Have an awesome year ahead - a more organised, joyful and successful!

2020 - what a Year! A year of ultimate Transformation in so many ways.
I wish you all the best for a Healthy, Happy & Loving 2021!
Wow! What a year it's been! 😅😳🤸♂️
Full of challenges, growth, learning, emotions & it's still going..... This has not been a year for me to sit back and wait for things to go "back to normal". It's been a year of having to create and figure out "new ways".

As I sit reflecting in the last few hours of 2021, I am filled with Gratitude.
Here are some of the highlights of 2020:
- I become a Grandma for the first time! My daughter had a little girl. She's a blessing!
- I transformed to the "Viking Wellness Warrior Spirit"
- I made a decision to create more Balance in my Life
- I closed my Aspire Wellbeing Centre / Wellbeing Centre that I had been running for 4 years
- I studied restorative yoga & became an Oola Life Coach
- I ran an amazing VisionBoard Workshop early 2020 and then many other workshops after that
- I started running online Body Awakening Movement Classes & developed a program online
- I developed the Crystals, Essential Oil & Mindfulness online program (ready to be launched late January 2021)
- I travelled to the Gold Coast and took part of the Young Living Symposium
- I built a new Website
- I travelled to a Mount Beauty & Bright - a stunning little place in the alpine region here in Victoria
- I kept my exercise up
- I got an Aspire Wellbeing App with many incredible programs
- I lead & coached my Aspire "Joy droppers" Team
- and lots more
So there is so much to be grateful for.
2020 was also a year of massive growth and learning about humanity and connecting with people from all over the world.
In a moment I am going to leave this Mac and rest up before the New Year start.
I'd like to THANK all of you who have supported me & aspire wellbeing during 2020!

Stress is inevitable. It is something we all will experience at times. It is kind of part of the modern-day lifestyle. It's when we experience too much stress that is starts to have a negative effect. It then starts to affect our energy, hormones our mood and our weight and the list goes on.
Ongoing stress (emotional, physical, psychological) and high levels of cortisol are not good for our adrenals.
When the adrenals are exhausted, we start to experience adrenal fatigue. The symptoms of this is exhaustion, lack of motivation, anxiety and intense sugar cravings and more.
All stress is the same to the body. It can't tell the difference.
The physical effects on the body is blood-sugar imbalance, weight gain around the middle, poor digestive function, low motivation, impaired thyroid function etc.
Stress directly affects the synchronicity of the hormones. So, if you are stressed, the hormones will be out of whack. So when our cortisol are high for long periods of time, they affect the production of sex hormones and it also makes it hard for the body to produce those "feel good" hormones.
If you feel anxious and sad, it may be because you are producing too much cortisol.
High levels of cortisol levels are also linked to weight gain and lower thyroid function. When our body is stressed the digestion slows down. The body diverts the blood away from the digestive tract and we don't digest the food properly.
So when we experience stress we need to SLOW DOWN. It's is time to give the body a chance to heal.
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's rest and digest function. It works to bring body to a state of calm.
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's fight or flight response. It controls how we react to perceived threats.
These two systems work together to keep the body balanced. Normally this works perfectly but the problems start when we are stressed too much and for longer periods of time. When we are in constant state of stress, the sympathetic nervous system works overtime.
Some things you can do to combat stress
- practice deep belly breathing
- having a bath with salts and essential oils
- listen to some relaxation music
- meditate
- read or listen to an audio book
- have a break from the computer or your phone
- take a power nap or just "chill"
- smell therapeutic Essential Oils such as Stress Away, Lavender
- etc.
I think it's easy to fall into the fast pace of life and become disconnected to how we are actually feeling. We don't allow ourselves to rest enough to know how it actually feels to be totally relaxed. Have you ever noticed when you go away on a break or holiday, you feel tired or even perhaps get sick as you start to slow down. I believe this is a sign that you are being in a state of sympathetic system overdrive.
I usually say "You have to slow down before you can speed up". We cannot just keep speeding up and speeding up. The mind and body needs slowing down in between.
Have a wonderfully relaxing day!

It's hard to believe that I have been teaching movement classes for so long now. If someone would have told me 2020, that I would be teaching the Body Awakening classes in 20 years time from now; "I would have probably said No Way". 😂
I would have found it difficult to believe. You see, I am a person that likes challenges and change. I guess I have had that by doing things differently, but it has still been around teaching movement.

Well, in the last few months, I have had to adapt to our new "normal". I started taking things online, thinking it would not last too long. This instead has opened my eyes to wanting to share my movement session with many more people. I want to assist thousands and thousands more people who will benefit from what I share and I also want to make them know that I am here to support them. I am here to create a Body Awakening Movement - a movement program that is a community that works on mobility, flexibility, strength and balance in their bodies.
I know that anyone that practise some of these movement will have more quality of life and feel younger and more vibrant. We are made to move but sometimes life gets busy an we don't make time for it.
I want to make it easy and fun for people to be part of this and although you won't leave your home or the place your are at to join the session, it will still be motivating and inspiring as I will hold you accountable and inspired to incorporating some movement in your life. You can do a session when it suits you, perhaps ones a week or perhaps 5 times a week. That is your choice.
I will also be going live via Zoom where you can join me and this will be live-streamed into the Body Awakening Group that you will part of.
The last few months have ignited my passion for my movement sessions again.
I can't wait to share it with you and the rest of the world.
Do you want to be Happy? I know that I do and I am pretty sure you do to. I have learnt to give up a few things in order to make my life so much more easier and more fun.
I believe that we hold on to so many things that cause us stress, pain and suffering. Sometimes we are reluctant to "let all these things go". We just cling on too them.
Are you ready to "let go" of what causes your life to be a struggle, stressful and miserable?
Well, today I thought I will share some of my top tips for creating a Happier Life.
- Give up the past; I know it's not easy because we are familiar with the past and the future is unknown. Just keep in mind that the present moment is all that you have and all you ever will have. Be present in everything you do. Life is. journey and not a destination. Develop a clear vision for your future, prepare yourself but always remember to be present and have fun in the "now" moment.
- Let go of limiting Beliefs: Did you know that a belief is just an idea that you hold in your mind. Don't let your thoughts limit you from what you can do and what is possible. Let yourself dream and spread your wings and fly!
- Stop the Blaming Game: Give up the need to blame other people for what you have done or haven't done. Stop giving away your power and start to take responsibility for your life
- Give up the need to be right: It's simply not worth it. Would you rather be right, or would you rather be kind? Ask yourself, is it really worth it.
- Stop the need of being in control: Allow yourself to give up the need to always control everything that happens to you and around you, situations, people and event.
- Stop complaining: Complaining never makes anyone happy, it only makes you miserable. Remember that no-one can "make you" happy.
- Be yourself unapologetically: Stop trying so hard to be something you are not. Just be you. You will find that people will be drawn to you and you will also be much happier.
- Give up fears: Did you know that fear is only an illusion, it doesn't exist - you created it. Its is all in your mind.
- Stop labelling: labelling things, people or events that you don't understand as being awful, weird or different will only close your mind. Instead, open yourself and your mind by stop labelling.
- Give up resistance to change: Change helps you move forward. We cannot live without change. Change will help you improve your life and also the lives of those around you. Allow yourself to follow your bliss!
- Let go of attachments: The moment that you detach yourself from all things you become peaceful, tolerant, kind. You will be at a place of understanding without trying. Letting go of attachment does not mean that you let go of the love.
- Live your life: Listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. That inner voice is your calling. If you listen to other people instead, you will be unhappy. You then only please other people. Remember that you have only one life and it's for you to live on your terms. Don't let other people distract you from following your bliss and listen to your heart's desires.
- Stop self-defeating self-talk: Become aware of how you speak to yourself - what you keep telling yourself. Don't believe everything the mind is telling you - especially if it does not serve you. These voices may not be yours. They belong to someone else. Be the kindest person to yourself. You are worth it all!
- Give up your excuse: Yes you heard me right. Send them away! You no longer need them. Spend your time growing and working on improving yourself instead. Excuses are like lies. They do not serve you. Be truthfully honest with yourself.
- Stop criticism: Remember that we are all different, yet we are the same. We all want to be happy, we all want love and be loved and we all want to be understood.
