This is a wonderful time of the year to celebrate yourself! Self Celebration is about celebrating, acknowledging, and accepting yourself right now.

Honour, invest, and celebrate are three of my favourite actions that I do to support myself.

I honour myself by resting, giving myself the nutrients, the nourishment, and care that I need to be at my best. Food, sleep, rest, and space.

I invest in myself by providing the people and things that I need to feel amazing - think massage, healing, books, teachers, and supplements.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… is it though?

I don’t know about you but this Christmas feels heavy. It feels hard. It could be that we are all fatigued by years of fuckery, it could be that financially things feel tougher. There seems to be a layer of lead hanging in the doorway replacing the fun and flirty mistletoe this year.

I am a crazy positive person who prides themselves on having an over flowing cup - so what worries me most is if I am feeling heavy, what are other people going through?

Twelve years ago, I took my 8-year-old daughter to the doctor concerned that she had lost weight, was incredibly grumpy and was eating and drinking a lot more than ever before. My doctor said she was probably just having a growth spurt and not to worry. As we walked out, he said, 'We could test her blood sugar levels if you want'? Her blood sugars were 29.8 (A ‘normal’ person's blood sugars sit between 4 - 6). The nurse offered me a cup of tea and a hug - I still had no idea what this number meant and then the doctor suggested we call an ambulance!
