What healing looks like: Part 2

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 51 | 12 October 2024 6 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, Let's get right into it. Using the example of emotional dysregulation, something I struggled with and healing from, let's look at what walking in healing looks like: 1. Self-awareness & Self-acceptance: Spoke about self-awareness at length in a previous newsletter. Briefly: We need to get to a place of being aware of what our issues are, what we're battling with. Not only that, but an idea about why you have been...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 50| 05 October 2024 5 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, I know I'm always going on and on about us needing to heal. In our hearts and minds, that is. The mind governs everything in the body, and so what's the point to life if we can't work properly and prove our Maker right? We've ALL been hurt or traumatised one way or another by something or another. The thing about mental dis-ease (not disease/illness, which is at the extreme end of the spectrum), unlike physical...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 49 | 28 September 2024 5 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, Soooo, the weekend that was. Where's my tea? Let me sip it and spill it!πŸ«–β˜•οΈ. Ok, just kidding. I did enjoy a lovely, and all in all impactful and fruitful weekend with my ladies over the weekend. Hot tea galore, laughter galore, eating galore, pretty meter over the charts. And the traditional end to the weekend of eating pap and the works from the same plate.πŸ½οΈπŸ˜‹ We managed to grab the last hour of the Delicious...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 47 14 September 2024 4 minute read Well, you DON'T! And you shouldn't try. It's a losing battle. Hey πŸ‘‹πŸΌ! In the past week I've had 3 ladies ask me about or expressed their frustration on the lack of balance in their lives. 'How do I/you keep balance in my/your life?' A question that I'm getting increasingly asked by busy and high achieving women, and I love it because the answer is easy and complicated at the same time! It starts with us defining what balance is,...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 46| 07 September 2024 4 minute read Hey πŸ‘‹, It’s September and spring has officially sprung! We, Mzansians (is that even a word?πŸ˜ƒ), are gearing up to celebrate Heritage Day on 24 September. Celebrations will be galore, honouring our origins, histories and victories as part of a cultural, ethnic or racial collective. We'll be adorning ourselves with beautiful traditional attires to celebrate our diversity as well. Whilst the wors is β€˜worsing’and the potjiekos is...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 45 | 31 August 2024 4 minute read Hey πŸ‘‹, On 'Ask a Man' one time this week, when asked, this guy says money-wise, he's an 8 out of 10, in other areas he's a 4 out of 10. Many people struggle with low levels of self-esteem, no matter how accomplished they are or how much money they have. This 4 out of ten'er' reminds us it's a deeper inner issue. If you think about, and if you've been following my newsletters, you'd know the root reason why they super-achieve and...

a computer screen with a lot of information on it

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 44 | 24 August 2024 5 minute read Hey πŸ‘‹, So, the darndest thing happened to me this week. Time: 14:30, round about. Place: The Greenery Shopping Centre. Motive: Quickly get in and out of Woolies. I swear I took just 7 minutes. As I leave my car, this white Toyotish sedan quickly parks next to me. A thought crosses my mind that this is odd, as if this guy is in a hurry to park right next to me by any means. Anyways, I disregard my thought signal, get out of my car,...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 43 | 17 August 2024 4 minute read Hi Reader, Once more, the 8 'freedoms' I intend to live by: Be-me, time, location, creativity, financial, charity, choice, no-condemnation. I hope you reflected on which could make your journey easier, more peaceful, purposeful and fulfilling. Now for the last two: Choice & No-condemnation Freedom. 1. Choice Freedom I'd like to be free in having the autonomy to choose my life, where it is headed, and who gets to be part of my...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 42 | 10 August 2024 6 minute read Hi Reader, The 8 'freedoms' I intend to live by: Be-me, time, location, creativity, financial, charity, choice, no-condemnation. I shared about the first 4 in Parts 1 & 2, today we continue with Financial & Charity Freedom. 1. Financial Freedom Let's be honest, the brunt of us employed, and some self-employed folk, cannot, with any degree of confidence, say they're financially free. Part of it is the way we were...

I shared about Be-Me and Time Freedom, we continue this time with Location & Creativity Freedom. 1. Location Freedom I think I need to be able to live in, work in or visit whichever location I desire to. Obviously not North Korea!😏 I was telling a friend this other time that I want my...
