April 2022

I was reminded today was Earth Day so I thought I’d do a bit of a throw back to March last year when I posted the video below on Earthing.

Earthing, also called grounding, it’s a really simple technique some claim can help with reducing stress, improving your sense of health and wellbeing, and feeling more positive. There’s also ongoing research into how it can help with reducing inflammation and pain.

It kind of makes sense really. Our feet have so many nerve endings in them, and all of them are working to tell our brain where ‘we’ are (also called proprioception) and how we are interacting with our environment.

By wrapping them up in shoes and socks and only walking barefoot inside, we’re depriving our brain from some really important information, and a really important connection with the earth.

So why not give it a try? It’s so easy to do – just kick off your shoes and socks, get barefoot and get walking, and reconnect with the earth!

Have a great weekend!

Much love, Sarah x

This is Vera…or at least an approximation of her. Vera is my inner critic. “Who” she often says with her fag hanging out of her mouth. “Who, would want a treatment with you? Who wants to be friends with you? Everyone thinks you’re stupid.”

Believe it or not I love Vera, after all I know she’s only there because she thinks she needs to protect teenage me; she just hasn’t realised I’m not a teenager anymore. But, did you know you that as well as your inner critic you also have an inner mentor? No? Neither did I until I read Playing it Big by Tara Mohr.

Full of lots of thought provoking advice and guidance, Mohr helps you explore who your inner critic is and why she can be so nasty sometimes and gives you the chance to find and explore your inner mentor with her free Meet Your Inner Mentor guided visualisation.

Vera, fag in hand, still wags her finger at me on a fairly regular basis, lecturing me on the error of my ways. But with every passing month she yields less and less power while Emma, my inner mentor, grows in strength. Her presence and voice is there more often than not, and she’s helping me to focus on where I want to be, rather than where I once was. Emma also has much better dress sense.

So this month why not find your inner mentor? Grab a pen and paper, and perhaps a box of tissues because it can be a bit emotional, and give it a go. Who know’s what you’ll find?
