To thine own self

Self-esteem can be a tricky son of a bitch. How many people do we all know who want to change something about themselves? Or focus on something they perceive to be less than good enough about themselves? Continue reading →

Come as you are

Have you ever experienced an instance where you kind of already know something, but then someone else comes along and says it and you suddenly believe it? That. Continue reading →

Amazing day at Pride in London. So many people coming together to celebrate love in all its forms! It took me years and meeting many open hearted and open minded people to learn not to let a label or an expectation affect what I allow myself to feel. And I got to share the day with someone wonderful too which made it even more special ❤️🌈 ———————————— #loveislove #pride #pride2019 #pride🌈 #pride2019🏳️‍🌈 #london #rainbow #lgbtq🌈 #poly #befree #openyourmind #freethinkers #tolerance #freedom

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER ABOUT HER BODY: . Don't talk to your daughter about her body, except to teach her how it works. Don't say anything if she's lost weight. Don't say anything if she's gained weight. If you think your daughter's body looks amazing, don't say that. Here are some things you can say instead: “You look so healthy!" Or "You're looking so strong. I can see how happy you are.” Better yet, compliment her on something that has nothing to do with her body. Don't comment on other women's bodies either; not a nice one or a mean one. Teach her about kindness towards others, and kindness towards yourself. . Don't talk about how much you hate your body in front of your daughter, or about your new diet. Cook healthy meals. But don't say, "I'm not eating carbs right now." Your daughter should never think that carbs are evil, because shame over what you eat only leads to shame about yourself . Encourage your daughter to run because it makes her feel less stressed. Encourage your daughter to climb mountains because there is nowhere better to explore your spirituality than the peak of the universe. Encourage your daughter to surf, or rock climb, or mountain bike because it scares her and that's a good thing sometimes . Maybe you both have thick thighs or wide ribcages. It's easy to hate these non-size zero body parts. Don't. Tell your daughter that with her legs she can run a marathon if she wants to, and her ribcage is nothing but a carrying case for strong lungs. She can scream and she can sing and she can lift up the world, if she wants . Remind your daughter that the best thing she can do with her body is to use it to mobilize her beautiful soul .

Sometimes we fall into the trap of continuing to work toward a goal or sticking to a decision that is no longer right for us. It’s easy to focus on something for so long we forget to stop and re-evaluate if we actually still feel the same about it. Give yourself permission to reconsider and evolve as many times as you need to ————————————————————— #evolve #change #grow #innergrowth #personalgrowth #peoplechange #journey #changeyourmind #compromise #letyourselfgrow #caterpillar #butterfly #sundaythoughts #stop #reconsider #selfcare #personaldevelopment

Personal boundaries are vital to our wellbeing and self-care. But it can be difficult to articulate a boundary to someone else if you are on completely different wavelengths. New blog post explores how to set boundaries in a way someone else can understand. ——————————————————— See full post ‘Boundaries and pizza’ on BreakThatMould.com ——————————————————— #emotionalintelligence #personalboundaries #selfcare #blogger #oxford #communication #language #wellbeing #awareness #compromise

I was lucky enough to attend an inspirational and informative talk by Yassmin Abdel-Magied who came to @oxunipress to speak about unconscious bias today. It was really enlightening to consider all the everyday biases we hold, even those of us who consider ourselves open minded. It’s days like this I really value where I work! I will certainly take the online unconscious bias test to see what I don’t realise about myself. ——————————— Thanks so much @yassmin_a for a brilliant session. Thank you also @cjebuckley / @maidinoxford for organizing it 🙌 ——————————— #diversityandinclusion #inclusion #inclusionmatters #diversitymatters #unconsciousbias #equality #equity #instainclusion #instadiversity #ouplife #culture #motivation #selfawareness #awareness

You can do anything! Yesterday’s Eurovision was a beautiful, if not marginally political, reminder to do what makes you happy. Ok well it was for me! If you want to defy gravity by swaying on a 10 foot long pole dressed like Cyndi Lauper meets Glinda and Game of Thrones, you should do it! Go be free! 😃 —————————— #got #gameofthrones #cyndilauper #eurovision #australia #poledance #befree #behappy #youcandoanything #defyinggravity #camp #music #contest #blogger #stage #performance #contest #dowhatyouwant #youdoyou #wicked #glinda
