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.

Overwhelm, my 4 Steps to Wellness
Hi again,
I am excited to announce that I’m joining BodySenseByShaz!
How many of these can you tick?
[ ] Lack of energy– too much to do and not enough time to do it. ‘Can’t be bothered’ attitude
[ ] Anxiety– about the past, future, world in general
[ ] Sleep Problems– insomnia, waking through the night, always waking up tired
[ ] Indecision– life direction, career changes, procrastinating
[ ] Digestion– constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, food intolerances, can’t lose or gain weight
As a Wellness Consultant, my true passion is working with stressed people who want to keep their lives and bodies in balance. Natural Medicine is quickly becoming one of the leading tools that successful people use to really be their best.
I help busy, stressed people find some peace and regain control of their lives.
Specifically, I help my clients:
Have more energy for living.
Be confident in speaking their own truth.
Be comfortable in their own skin.
I treat a variety of people, while specializing in those who are trying to find out who they truly are and their purpose in life. When you discover this, you are able to love yourself for who you really are, not who you think others want you to be. And once you find the inner voice that is yearning to be not only heard, but listened to, the world is your oyster!
My unique ‘4 Steps to Wellness Program’ balances many different facets to encourage relaxation and healing. With this program, my clients have more energy and deal with stress better, so they can function more efficiently in both their working and personal lives.
Doesn’t that sound great?
The first step is to work out where you are NOW.
Then, together we work out where you WANT to be.
Step 3 is the ‘intensive treatment’ phase of the process and may take several visits to reach our previously set goals.
Step 4 is maintenance sessions to keep you under control. Most people choose monthly or 6 weekly visits to stay on top of things.
Have a great Xmas everyone, see you all next year.

Top Tips for a non-overwhelmed Christmas
Do you look forward to Christmas, or does it instill a feeling of dread and ‘Oh, when will it be over?’
Many of us are already stressed and worn out, then the thought of having to deal with the Auntie who judges and the Uncle who pinches your bum between courses is just too much. For others it brings back unpleasant or sad memories. There is all that rich food, running all over the country-side visiting people you don’t see any other time of the year– no wonder we don’t all see Christmas as an enjoyable time of the year.
BUT, it doesn’t have to be that way…..
Now, you have probably heard many of these before, but they do work and they will allow you to get the most out of any holidays you manage to get this year.
1. Alcohol in moderation– water is still the most important drink to have. (20ml per kg of body weight per day MINIMUM!)
2. Surround yourself with ‘good energy’ people– if there is someone you really don’t like, limit how much time you spend with them.
3. Get enough sleep– you should wake up refreshed.
4. Exercise– be it walking, swimming, yoga—just get off your bum and MOVE.
5. Make some ‘down time’- don’t over-fill the schedule so that all your days are spent rushing form here to there– slow down! And enjoy yourself.
My unique ‘4 Steps to Wellness Program’ balances many different facets to encourage relaxation and healing. With this program, you will have more energy and deal with stress better, so you can function more efficiently in both your working and personal life. Doesn’t that sound great?
If you would like to have a more enjoyable Christmas, ring now for an appointment. 0437 601 550.

Investing in you own Wellbeing
Have you ever thought of yourself as an investment?
We put lots of effort into our youngsters to educate and feed them so that they can grow into successful adults, but what then?
We save money for our future, buy life insurance (hopefully), car insurance, house insurance– but what about ourselves?
A small investment in your well-being can greatly enhance your life in so many ways– better relationships, more energy, better sleep– being able to get the MAXIMUM out of every day!
That’s where ‘Tune-Ups’ come into their own.
A 4, 6 or 8 weekly ’Tune-up’ regardless of whether you are sick or not is a great way to keep on top of things so that you minimise the chances of major issues developing. Reiki or Kinesiology can help to keep you in check, you don’t have to wait for things to break before seeking my services.
Work out the investment as a daily cost and compare it to your daily coffee from the local café or your new pair of shoes each season– you might be surprised just how little it is!
Well, on the Thursday, 9th of October at Simply Strath I said my piece! Along with Frank Caspers, an insightful evening of discussion on Body and Soul was had by all those in attendance. And those who had the citrus tart really enjoyed it!
Despite the group being a small one, we discussed many things as usual. We managed to find some common ground despite our different perspectives which is great. It’s sometimes better with a smaller group– everyone gets to contribute. Thankyou to those who came.
The next installment of Spring Table Talk will be in November.

Self Healing
Many clients ask me what they can take or do to give themselves a boost.
Quite often it’s what they can remove from their bodies that will give them more energy and that special ZING!
I’m a believer in ‘self-healing’, that is, give the body the best possible environment and let it do the rest itself.
If your car was running a bit sluggishly and hadn’t had new oil for a while, would you change the oil and oil-filter, or would you pump more liquids and powders into it, hoping it will run better?
Your body is the same, my Foot Detox Patches and Ear Candles take waste FROM the body so it can function more efficiently, without the need for additives.
Certainly, sometimes supplements are warranted, (and antibiotics if you have a raging dose of pneumonia!), but how about we keep our bodies running like the well engineered machines they are?
Robyn Stitt will be Guest Presenter at the up-coming October Meeting of ‘Spring Table Talk’ on October 9th.
Come along to Simply Strath in High St at 7pm (or earlier if you want to eat too), for a lively evening of discussion on Body and Spirit. Two speakers begin the night then a group discussion follows until about 9.
It’s interactive and definitely not judgemental– come along and be intellectually challenged!!
This month’s special is to celebrate my own, dedicated wellness space!
I love it and want you all to love it with me– let’s share the love.
If you haven’t seen it yet, and experienced its beauty and energy, ring today and get 20% OFF any treatment!!!
Limited appointments available, so get your skates on.

Wellness vs Sickness
I thought I'd put my newsletters here, so everyone can read them.
Wellness Newsletter 1
What is Wellness?
What’s the difference between Wellness and Sickness?
Is wellness the absence of illness, or sickness the absence of wellness?
I think life is a little greyer than that!
Between sickness and wellness is a great expanse of ‘not sick yet’.
Think about our Health system- it is really a sickness system. We wait for the body to get sick (or hurt or broken or not working quite right) and then we go to a health professional to get it fixed.
What if we maintained our ‘Wellness’ by keeping our bodies physically and emotionally strong so that it can heal itself when it needs to?
Interesting concept, hey?
So, how do we do this?
Well, we need to fuel the body with good stuff- eating a variety of good, fresh foods.
Drinking adequately – water, not alcohol (ha-ha).
Sleeping well and exercise.
Finding time to have fun with others - be it family or friends or both.
Being happy in our own company too.
Learning to listen to our bodies and acknowledging what signals it is sending us.
Trying to be flexible in our thinking – aim to be a willow tree, not an oak.
Willow trees bend with the wind and bounce back up. Oak trees, whilst strong, are also rigid and are more likely to break or blow over if the wind is strong enough!
If you want and need help in gaining your own ‘Wellness’, I can help –
Just mention this newsletter to take the next step in Wellness!
You can be the best you can be.

Maximising Living
Wellness Newsletter of Robyn Stitt
SPRING is just around the corner!!!!
How do you feel about the season of new beginnings?
Do you feel enthusiastic about the soon -to -be -here -spring and ready to tackle some new challenges?
Or does winter give you an excuse for rugging up with the heater (and TV) on and not doing too much?
Does the thought of warmer weather cause feelings of procrastination and inevitability that you will have to venture out into the world?
How would you like to get the most you possibly can out of your life?
How much do you get out of your life?
Do you feel like your life and lifestyle is diminishing as time goes on?
Can you do all that you used to be able to and enjoy things to the same degree, or do the days seem to melt into the same’ Groundhog’ grind?
Just because the days go by and we all get older, doesn’t mean we need to accept limitations on our abilities.
Do you wonder why some people who may be old in years seem vibrant and youthful?
You can be as wonderful as you deserve to be- and we all deserve to be well and wonderful, don’t we?
What if we maintained our ‘Wellness’ so that we can get as much out of life as we possibly can?
Interesting concept, hey?
No more waking up tired,
No more feeling overwhelmed by the little things that all add up,
No more worrying about yesterday or tomorrow- let’s put all our energy into TODAY!!
So, how do we do this?
When our bodies are strong physically, emotionally and spiritually, we can hold on to our own energy and use it to have the best life we can. If we are run down, stressed or unsupported then we use up so much energy trying to hold things together that we have precious little for the fun things in life.
Remember, life is for LIVING!!
Being a Wellness Consultant, I can help you to de-stress, get yourself back in control and supporting yourself to achieve goals you probably thought impossible.
