Using a keystone activity as a reflection anchor.
- Choose an activity that has meaning to you. It may be something that has uncomfortable associations, it may reflect an underlying value. It may be celebratory.
- Choose an accompanying affirmation to use as a reflection.
You can try 'I release myself from the outcome'.
- Whilst you are engaging in the activity actively reflect on thoughts and feelings that arise; the nature of the process; and the outcome of the process.
Through releasing expectations and allowing yourself to fail, you are treating yourself with compassion.
May joy flow through the cracks this Christmas.

I have this theory about wonderful women. It goes like this:
Without doubt we are a special bunch.
Regardless of what life throws at us, we’re willing to work to find calm in our world whilst not running away from it. Our dreams consist not of power and progress, but of understanding, cooperation and healing.
We firmly believe in the power of knowing ourselves, respecting others, honouring our environment and fostering deep connections. And we love receiving and giving sprinkles of wisdom.
Join the community of other wonderful women who receive regular sprinkles in their inbox from me. It's where I share insights, inspiration, reflections, support and do-able strategies on how you can create and integrate more calm, connection and confidence into your life without running away to Bali.
