The Art of Storytelling …

Every culture in the world finds its beginnings in a story

Similarly as individuals

We find ourselves woven through the pages of our mind

Sometimes uplifting & inspiring

Propelling our unique worth forward

Other times not so much

Finding ourselves stuck on a paragraph

Pinned down under the weight of a page

Racing through chapters of beliefs

Our authentic self buried under reams of conditioned behaviours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Approaching ourselves with compassion and curiosity

Inviting a brave & kind narrator

One that comes with openness

Blowing dust off covers

Ruffling through pages

Making sense of ingrained survival based reactivity

Creating liberating plot twists

We come to understand the synthesis of what we may be 💫

Habits shape our moods

Habits of sleeping
Habits of moving
Habits of breathing
Habits of mind & body managing

Our moods provide a filter through which we experience life

Regulating daily actions & routines helps to deactivate ‘fight or flight’ instincts

Routine brings a sense of safety to children and purpose to adults

Along with contentment of conscious decision making

Validating abilities & experiences

Routine becoming the pathway to flow as the body self-regulates

Flow becoming the way we engage with what we are doing

Being present
Being shameless
Being enough

The habit of being ourselves
Our enough self

Stress in this hyperkinetic world oftentimes imparts a sense of ‘going round without the merry’

Building capacity & resilience are life skills we all need

Heck … possibly the greatest generational wealth worth passing on

This is good stuff for all humans

⁣What if we only have so many f**ks to give? ⁣
⁣
I wonder if that changes how you use your f**ks? ⁣
⁣
Today I’m giving a admirable f**k to an amazing woman who inspires connection of others ⁣
⁣
Bringing women together to share ‘all the things’ ⁣
⁣
That’s worth giving a f**k ⁣
⁣
I’ll give a really compassionate f**k for a courageously brave woman experiencing the most profound loss of a child⁣
⁣
Followed closely by hoping like almighty f**ks for some strong and amazing women on f**king challenging health journeys⁣
⁣
I’m giving a whole bunch of gratitude f**ks to all the peeps that I share my life with and all the things that light me up ⁣
⁣
I’m using some other f**ks to wonder about what’s happening in the world and how I can best utilise my individual f**ks within the collective f**ks ⁣
⁣
Sprinkling self-awareness f**ks through out my day to take a moment to align myself through my breathing & awareness of what’s going on in my body, mind & heart ⁣
⁣
Insightful f**ks are invaluable ⁣
⁣
Some of the most expansive f**ks going around⁣
⁣
A massive handful of f**ks raising awareness of the importance in understanding how our needs impact ourselves & others with some groups of children⁣
⁣
Here’s to working out when, where & what f**ks are worth giving⁣
⁣
Giving f**ks for the important stuff ⁣
⁣
The magical stuff ⁣
⁣
The stuff that lifts ourselves & others up⁣
⁣
That inspires healing & hope⁣
⁣
That accepts difference⁣
⁣
Embraces inclusivity⁣
⁣
Engenders understanding⁣
⁣
Fcuks that are worthwhile giving⁣
⁣
Worthy f**ks⁣
⁣
So when it really matters we still have f**ks to give⁣

Four wonderful sessions into our Pure Wonder journey

Learning about ourselves and the messages from our feelings and bodies when we listen and notice

Based on a ‘Foundational Needs’ model developed by Dr. Maxine Thérèse we explore our needs through the colours of the rainbow

Sometimes Hard
Other times soft
Sometimes Challenging
Other times easy

Ever changing
Passing through us

We come to know we have inner knowledge and skills to help balance the seesaw of life

Being in the WONDER of ourselves
What a wonderful place to be … 🌈

How can we help children during times of challenge or change? How can we model resilience to the children and young people in our life?⁣

Be like a tree 🌳⁣
⁣
A tree stands strong and tall in the wind because of the root system⁣
⁣
When the wind blows the tree bends and sways helping the root system become deeper and stronger ⁣
⁣
We can explain that the changes and challenges we face are sometimes like a strong blustery wind on a stormy night and other times more like a gentle rustle of the leaves on a bright spring morning 🍁⁣
⁣
The roots of the tree are our family, our friends, our community, our pets, our hobbies, the food we eat, how we are active, connecting with nature, gentle breaths, what is important to us; all together these make up the roots of our support system ⁣
⁣
When the strong blustery winds come the tree gets blown all about, accepting the force of the wind and knowing that it actually helps the root system grow deeper so the tree can grow stronger and taller 🌳⁣
⁣
Just like the tree we too can grow stronger when we go through challenges and changes; we can bend and sway with the wind because we have strong roots⁣
⁣
When the wind passes we can stand tall and strong in the stillness and sunshine because we too can develop strong roots⁣
⁣
Be like a tree and help your family build its own forest 🌧 🌳 🌲 🌳 🌲☀️
