A success mindset is powerful and although it might take time to develop, especially if there are setbacks, moments of challenge or doubts, it is continuously working on yourself. Some common principles that will help anyone achieve anything they set their mind to include setting desired goals or outcomes, using your sensory acuity, being flexible, having good people in your corner, a positive mindset and most importantly, taking action.

‘When we can support ourselves to go, ‘Do you know what, I can do this, I do have the capacity to do this’, our bodies and our minds are capable of so much more than we allow them to think. And, when we can create that space and allow other people to hold that for us, and to send us that positive energy, it completely changes where our mind and where our energy is focused. So it’s just that shift of what we are looking at and what we are focusing on can completely change how the mind and body re...

‘I think you need to just keep turning up until it becomes… something that I like to think to myself is going to training for me is as important as doing my grocery shopping. I need it. It’s part of my life. I need it for my mental health, for my physical health… it’s just part of what you do. But in the beginning, you’ve got to push yourself. When you don’t want to go – as you said getting out of bed, the hardest part is putting your feet on the floor – and then once you’re up grab a coffee or ...

Recent studies at New York University have uncovered fascinating insights into the role of the amygdala in the brain’s limbic system, particularly in how it processes and releases emotional trauma. These findings challenge conventional wisdom and open new avenues for therapeutic approaches including Aromatherapy. Smell is a powerful and often underappreciated sense.

‘I think I was expecting an older gentleman that had been an orthopaedic surgeon for many, many years, but he was actually quite cool, and he was around about the same age as me, and he kind of walked through those gates at the airport like he was going on a holiday. And obviously, with me sitting in a wheelchair he knew exactly who I was. So, we didn’t even have a chance to go anywhere. We were basically in the middle of the airport where he stripped down my bandages, with thousands of people w...

So, to try and replicate what the sun would have done just by going to the beach or being out and about, you know how naturally there’s all these different nuances, particularly in longer hair. You’ve got golds and you’ve got some beiges in there, you might have some warmer tones, you might have some cool ash, and I’m just even talking about blondes. Don’t get me started on reds and coppers and brunettes because we will be here all...

‘I then devoted myself to wanting to help others, and wanting to help others was one of my biggest drivers. And so I took a job in a refugee camp straight out of Uni. And when I was involved at Uni I was doing lots of social justice and that’s where I really felt I was starting to understand myself. I had a lot of strength from that and it was really, really beautiful to meet so many people who had gone through so much yet they were showing up every day, they had so much strength, and they were ...

In today’s fast-paced world, the concept of freedom often gets overlooked amidst our daily routines and responsibilities. We hustle through our lives, seldom pausing to appreciate the liberties we enjoy. The story of Julian Assange, a name synonymous with controversy, transparency, and prolonged confinement, serves as a stark reminder of how easily freedom can be compromised and how deeply it should be cherished. For over a decade, Assange’s life has been restricted in ways most of us cannot fat...

So, I was using running and those endurance sports as a way to distract myself from the things I actually needed to focus on in my life. And, at the time, I was using that hustle, that drive, that competitive spirit, and taking on immense challenges as a way to feel I was being productive, but I was actual...

‘We feel more close-hearted when we are in that state of fear. And that happens as a type of protection really, but unfortunately a side effect of a closed heart means we are less connected with ourselves so it is harder for us to hear our own intuition and our own gut feelings, our own sense of what is true for us and what is right for us as individuals but what it also does, it doesn’t just create that sense of disconnection from ourselves, but it creates that sense of disconnection from other...

If you don’t choose yourself and make time, create time for you, you’re ripping yourself off, but also everyone around you because they’re not going to see your best self, your happier self. And it’s also teaching the people around you, especially if you’ve got little humans, like how dare you rip off these little humans, teaching them that they can’t choose themselves and have time for themselves to grow and evolve and care for themselves.’ ~ Melinda Grinner Melind...

‘For me, it took nearly two years, of experimenting what worked for me. And reminding me… I think having Lynne in my life for that whole year, solidly, was like, ‘Hang on Annie we have worked on this.’ So, it was a reminder that you can’t un-hear what you’ve heard so keep moving forward which way. And I think what was really important for me was to set some goals. And then when those goals were set, I had some clarity along the way and then I really started enjoying the ‘being’. And once I would...

The concept of vibrational frequency stems from the understanding that everything in the universe, including living beings and inanimate objects, emits energy at a specific frequency.

In the case of essential oils, each oil is thought to resonate at a particular frequency, which corresponds to its unique chemical composition and molecular structure. And, this week we dive into what vibrational ...

‘Anything is possible. You can achieve anything you want in this world, that is it. The caveat around that is you must want it, and then I guess coming off of that condition that you must want it, is that you need a vision, and you need a team around you to assist you to achieve that vision. So, nothing in life, I don’t believe, (worthwhile), can be achieved by yourself. As long as you know where you’re going, and you create a team around you to help you achieve that, then you can achieve anythi...
