Looking After Yourself-Part 1

Overcoming Overwhelm newsletter January 2009

I hope you all enjoyed your Xmas break and are ready to dive into 2009 head first!
I had a lovely few weeks off with the family and am now refreshed and ready to help you achieve all that you want for this year too. What is it that you want?
This year is going to be a great one for change, do you want it to be good for you or not!
I have now started at Body Sense on Catherine St and it feels like home. You can find me there on Tuesdays and Fridays, phone 0437 601 550 to book an appointment. Other times are still available by negotiation so I’m sure we can work out a mutually convenient time.


Looking After Yourself Part 1

I am often asked, ‘How can I look after myself better?’
Over the next few newsletters, I will share some tips for doing this.
My answer is always, ‘To become in-tune with your body.’
The person who knows your body the best is YOU!
You have lived in it all your life. You know what it feels like when it is happy and relaxed, stressed or unwell. It may be difficult to describe this to another person as sometimes words are inadequate to really nail what it going on, but you know the feeling.
Become familiar with what KIND of headache you have right now– is it from dehydration, is it from too much sugar, is it from being too busy and feeling overwhelmed? Each one will feel slightly different and by noticing these differences, you will then be able to recognise what treatment you need to give yourself. Taking a Panadol for a dehydration headache will not fix it, a simple glass of water will.
More next time………….

I am so excited to be sharing this with you– I am planning my very first ‘Wellness Retreat’ and am looking for expressions of interest.
It will be held at Victor Harbor, South Australia in late November at this stage, Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. Cost still to be determined, but it won’t be extra-ordinary.

You will enjoy good food, good company and good energy. Lined up already is Yoga, a Sound Healing, Labyrinth Walk and Self-Sabotage Releasing Ceremony. There will be plenty of time for self reflection, talking with others, walking on the beach etc and you can do as little or as much as you wish. More will be added as the time gets closer.
If you are interested or would like more information, please send me an email, or speak to me in person, but places will be limited to a maximum of 10.
Get in quick. It should be great.
