Day 6 #7DaysOfSelfLove challenge with @iammelwells

‘Accept compliments’
The first challenge today is to finish this sentence…

‘My favourite compliment to receive is…’

… My strength and growth on my continuing journey of bettering myself!

Its also lovely to know that I am inspiring others as well!
Today’s compliment comes courtesy of my beautiful yoga teacher & health coach @louiseavilesyoga

Thank you Louise!
It has also come at a vital time & links in with the video part of day 6, ‘Training your inner self talk’

I must start trusting my yoga journey, stay patient and stop comparing because this is my journey, no one else’s!

Day 5 #7DaysOfSelfLove challenge with @iammelwells: ‘Make a loving choice’

‘Make a loving choice’
After my lovely Pilates class this morning, I came home, mindfully ate my lunch and then snuggled with our boys on the sofa.
Something I used to always neglect for myself was rest!

So easy for me forget that I need twice the amount of rest as healthy individuals!

‘Treat yo-self’

REDEFINING what you consider to be a “treat”
A treat for me has always been something sweet!

Thanks to @louiseavilesyoga (my yoga teacher & healthcoach) and the amazing work I have been doing with her, I am no longer owned by sugar! Yasss! 👏
My initial thought to treat myself was with flowers but then I thought, yeah, that’s nice but I by flowers often so it didn’t seem like a massive treat!

So then I remembered I needed some new mascara! I’m not one that always feels the need to wear makeup, i wear it because It makes me look more awake (thanks ms)

I know to some buying new mascara wouldn’t be classed as a treat but, I’ve always bought cheaper products & gasped when seeing the price of the branded products!
Not today! Nope, I treated myself to some new proper decent mascara that you can actually tell I’m wearing!

Walking past the tulips I grabbed the prettiest ones because I deserve those as well!
*ALSO VERY PLEASED TO SAY NO FILTERS HAVE BEEN USED AND I TOOK THE ‘BEAUTY’ OPTION OFF BEFORE TAKING THE PICTURE AS WELL!*
Very happy! 🌷👑👸

Day 3 #7daysofselflove challenge: I love my body because…

Day 3 #7daysofselflove challenge;
I love my body because…

She accepts the medication I have to have every 28 days, to keep my Multiple Sclerosis at bay!
I love my body because…

She lets me do all these amazing things in the photos where I have raised money for different MS charities I support
I love my body because…

She accepts all the hard work I put her through and she doesn’t let me down!
I love my body because…

She’s where my beautiful soul lives

All the Yoga highs!

So this happened during my 1-1 yoga today!

Today’s session was all about love, self love and appreciation in fact!

This is what happens when you have such a wonderful Yoga teacher who you feel so connected to! Thanks to her as well for putting me in contact with Melissa Wells!
I feel so honoured that the universe heard me on one of those many days, when I was so low, from the beging of my MS diagnosis 7 years ago and Fibromyalgia 6 years ago to when I was given Louise’s name in March 2016!
I was so desperate to stop hating myself for gaining weight because of my mobility issues, not because of anything I could have prevented.

I needed a change. Something had to give, so I put it out there, I had always felt the calling for Yoga, knowing how open I am to spiritual insight, I knew I was on the right path.
I think it could have only been my third 1-1 with Lou when I started to open up to her about what I had only at the time, recently discovered about myself, I had an eating disorder.

She instantly told me about Mel & The Goddess Revolution, which upon hearing about it, I instantly pre-ordered the book!

And I’ve never looked back since!
This picture makes me so happy!

What you cant see is my beaming yoga high smile during, after and every time I look at it!

What no one saw and very rarely sees (that’s called being an MS warrior, there’s a lot of us! 👏) was the major energy crash afterwards and the muscle soreness!

You know what though, it was totally worth it! The whole session was!
Please always remember, anything is possible! 🙏💚

I call her wife

We don’t need a day to show each other the love we have, its there, 17 years with this lady, she makes me the happiest!

I call her my wife, though its not on paper, we have the rings, blessed in the sea, we said our vows, to have and to hold, just her and me its how it shall be!

Its all in your mind!

This is so true for so many things!
Pain, it literally is all in your head! As soon as you give in to it, that’s it, pain owns you!
Negativity, all in your head!
We all have choices, its up to us and us alone to choose!
Lets choose positivity!

Positivity brings so much love and joy with it! People are more attracted to it and life just gets easier! There’s so much I could say about it, a subject I’m very passionate about!
Negativity is a lonely place!

NOT MANY THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THAT other than, what a long lonely life to live!

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Moving forward

With lovely memories of 2016, there’s also some heartbreaking ones to!
I wish every single one of you the strength to learn from this year and to accept what was.
Always be there for one another, keep creating, travel often, love fully, give thanks, dream big, work hard, take risks, stay humble and most importantly… Stay you!
