Notes from Glenda

When was the last time you walked in front of the mirror and gave yourself a genuine appreciative comment?

I am the first person to give a whole lot of ‘what’s wrong attention’ and you know what- it sure feels rotten.

Sometimes kind, honest assessment is useful, it can help with making decisions on how to best take care of yourself. But, when the assessment becomes an insult, or leans towards criticism- then it’s gone into a danger zone.

I am all about flipping the model. For the sake of our souls and our health, we must put the focus on what’s good, not give endless barrages of ‘what’s wrong attention’.

I remember when I was teaching my son to drive and one day while he was going along, he looked over at me and said ‘Mom, I am a beauty’. Then he laughed like crazy, appreciating his new skills and effort he was putting in to learn to drive. It was a moment of connection for us and it boosted his confidence and competence.

My challenge to you:

• Try walking past the mirror and saying ‘Well, hello there you beauty’, and do it with a genuine smile
• Or notice something you’ve done well and acknowledge it, appreciate it and celebrate it.
• Or commit to unconditional positive regard, because you are enough and you are worth it.

Science has proven that good endorphins are released when you smile at yourself and this changes your physiology in and out, for the better. You will feel more calm, confident and happy, and your skin will reflect goodness. Now, who doesn’t want more of that!

Thank you for being you and for adding your own spectacular uniqueness and gifts to the world and for being a fabulous client at The Embodied Way.

Autumn Specials

Hands…they do so much for you and sometimes, they are the LAST thing to get some TLC. Some even say…’Why bother, I am always in the garden/doing dishes/hard on my hands etc.’ Now that the colder weather has arrived, your hands will more easily dry out or be at risk of getting chapped. Personally, I hate the feeling of dry hands.

Your hands are one of the first things people see when they see you. A well-groomed hand says a lot. It says, I live life fully and I take care of myself while living. Whether you keep your nails 'au natural' or put on your favourite coloured polish, you'll find you live life with more intention, greater care and presence when your hands are well cared for.

My hands transformed when I started to do regular manicures and yours could be too. I usually keep my nails ‘au natural’ and so I like my nails to look cared for no matter what. Then I am ready to meet the world and my hands are ready to continue to work for me and feel appreciated:)

This fall season, my specials feature some lovely ways to keep your hands at your best.
