    How do we best support ourselves with proper nutrition? | Musings with Amanda

    Food is medicine. It heals you. It is the fuel for our entire being.    In this video I want to shift the conservation towards a more healthy and balanced relationship with food, to see it as a source of joy, of nourishment, of fuel, and truly of medicine.  A big part of maintaining and thriving a personal practice is your mental health and making sure that it is nourished and supported through the foods that you consume.    How can we best support out mental and physical well-being with food?  What does proper nutrition look like?  How can we learn to listen to our individual body and needs?

    Developing your Personal Practice

    Do you have a daily personal practice? Maybe you already have one but you struggle to make this routine? Or maybe you feel lost as to where to start? In this video we explore how to create your unique personal practice, the impact it can have on your life, and the best way to make this sustainable so that we can do this long term. A personal practice is unique from person to person. No one can determine what will really work for you. Whilst others can offer tips and advice, we have to develop it ourselves so that it is sustainable and maintainable. In this video I explore: How to manifest intentions using a personal practice The power of and uniqueness of both a morning and evening practice. Understanding the different brainwaves so that we can cultivate a personal practice at the most beneficial times. Treating our personal practice as sacred whilst being realistic about the time and energy we have available. And much much more!

    Developing Personal Responsibility | Musings with Amanda

    We have spent a lot of our life believing that we are helpless and that change is out of reach. But you are now stepping into a new reality; a reality where you are EMPOWERED to live your truest life by placing the change that will happen into your hands. This is where taking personal responsibility for your life comes in. When I think about personal responsibility I think about - HOW is it that I show up in this world? - WHO am I showing up as? - WHAT actions am I taking? Nobody else is going to do the actions that nourish and feed my physical, emotional and mental well-being. So I need to take that responsibility to do it myself. Questions I ask myself, - WHO do I want to be in this world? - WHO do I want to show up as? - HOW do I want people to feel after I have left a situation? We all have a responsibility to know our self on deep and intimate level. To do this, we must remain CURIOUS - so that we can get to know our self in ways that we haven't before. In this video I explore the importance of taking steps to know yourself intimately so that we are consciously taking personal responsibility for our own life.

    Permission To Rest

    We do not constantly have to be this ‘work in progress’. We do not need to be this piece of art that needs mastering. You are more than perfect exactly as you are. How do we truly rest? We need to decrease the amount of stimulation as much as possible. This allows our whole nervous system to deeply rest. In this video I explain the IMPORTANCE of deep rest on our nervous system and HOW to actually switch off and rest.

    Self-Regulation: Tools to return back to a safe place

    Self regulation - the ability to come back to a place of safety. In this episode I talk about the tools we can use to drop back into a place of safety. A place where we feel calm in the present moment and where our nervous system can return back to a regulated state. I describe some different breathing techniques which you can use to explore how you are feeling and return back to a baseline state. The BREATH is the most powerful tools we have to identify our emotional state. It is one of the quickest ways to drop back in and come back to a base line. Our breath is like a compass - when we notice how we are breathing we can tune into how we are feeling, our emotions.

    Self-Care vs Self-Soothing | Musings with Amanda

    In this episode I define the difference between Self-Care and Self-Soothing. Self-soothing involves immediate relief to allow ourselves the chance to breathe and switch off. This allows us to build the resilience to move towards Self-Care. Self-Care asks us to look at how we are fundamentally caring for our mind, body and spirit as a whole. Self- Care is rebuilding and maintaining your resilience. It is rebuilding your capacity to show up and interact with the world around you. It allows us to take control and feel more empowered over different aspects of our lives. Invitation to you: Draw a circle and divide it into the 5 sections, one for each of the 5 elements listed belows. In each section, write down what you do for this element, whether it be a self soothing or self care activity. You might start to see a trend. You might see certain aspects of your life that you feel you are giving lots of attention towards, and you might notice areas which you are neglecting. From here, you will be able to see which elements need more attention and whether you need to incorporate more Self-Care Physical Emotional Spiritual Mental Energetic Whilst we may not have control of the external world. We have control of ourselves, and our own internal workings, so we must try to take as much care of our own internal landscape. This therefore makes handling the external forces a little easier.

    Advocacy for disability with Kelsey Ferrill

    Kelsey and I discuss the importance of advocacy to raise awareness about disability and make sure everyone has equal opportunities. We talk about the importance of normalising disability in a world where we are trained consciously and subconsciously to fear difference and to fear ‘other’. Kelsey is passionate about educating others and creating space for awareness and normalisation of disability. Navigating the hardship of advocacy. Remembering, trusting and knowing that everything you do has purpose. “How do you keep your sense of self, and your sense of power within you so that you can keep doing this work? What does your practice look like? “ 3 things that individuals can do right now to start making their circle more safe, inclusive and accessible; Do not assume, Educate, Listen. Kelsey Ferrill is a grad student at Royal Roads University (#@RoyalRoadssu on Instagram) pursuing her Masters of Intercultural and International communications. She also sits on the Board of Directors for the Moebius Syndrome Foundation (@MoebiusSyndromeFoundation) and works closely with @PositiveExposure which is an organization that uses the arts to create a more inclusive, equitable world for all. Advocacy is Kelsey’s #1 passion; it is what sets her soul on fire and gives her purpose. She really wants to spread the message of acceptance and inclusivity and most importantly, not judging anyone on appearance alone. Kelsey believes that her life experiences can be used for good and she hopes to work internationally for a non-profit that supports and advocates for people with disabilities.
