I love me… and I love you too. Because no matter where we are right now, we’re being our best.

I love where you are at, it is exactly where you are meant to be. There is no need to compare yourself to others, particularly me, your naturopath.

How do I know? Because I am exactly where I need to be… and so are you.

To get to where I am, I have had either amazing experiences or awesome lessons, and I needed them both.

It is easy to look back and want to erase different chapters of our life book…

When I …

 

  • look in the mirror on the weekends and see the creases in my brow from concentrating so hard, from having so much drive and determination to achieve and be right, from years of studying and night shifts from a lifetime ago with energy drinks and no-doze under my belt…

 

    • I might be tempted to berate myself for trying too hard.

 

    • see my eyebrows, finally thickening after years of over plucking them in my party days in London… I could be tempted to dismiss that I had a beautifully messy 20’s in which I had no care whatsoever for my liver’s wellbeing.

 

  • spot the occasional pimple along my jawline, from what I know from years of studying the human body, is an oestrogen clearance issue probably caused by a few too many red wines and not enough broccoli…

I could be tempted to lie to myself and others that I don’t enjoy the odd glass of good red wine with a meal.

 

  • sneak a side glance of my not-smooth tummy, never been the same since the magical birth of my son… I could be tempted to fall into old habits of striving too hard to exhaust myself for the perfect body.
  • when others visit my house and spot the non-organic fruit and packaged muesli bars for my kids’ lunches.. I could be tempted to choose to feel a mothers guilt of not being perfect.
  • when my step kids come home from their visits to their mothers and I feel myself shut-down emotionally… I could be tempted to regret one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.

BUT when I have all my reserves of power with me… my nutrients from great food, plenty of sleep, no toxins, fully hydrated, confident in who I am and what I have to offer the world… then I know.

I know I …

  • am human and I am learning, constantly.
  • have lived through those dark times to understand the light.
  • am Being my best, and have always tried my best with all the tools I had on hand at that time.
  • continue to choose based on my knowledge, my resources, my power at my disposal at the time… and you do too.

When you come to me, with your ups and downs, your excesses and deficiencies, I know you are Being your best.

When you are tired, haven’t eaten properly, had too much to drink, are feeling lost, overwhelmed and unappreciated… I know you are still trying your best. And in that moment, you are either having an incredible experience or an awesome lesson, and you need them both.

I accept where you are at, I accept your readiness for change, and if you are not ready, I accept that too.

I can do this because I have adopted this mantra (from Tapping and EFT) particularly in my worst moments…

‘In this moment, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, exactly as I am, right now’

Because we are all Being our best, every moment of every day and we have no idea what anyone else is dealing with.

Be You, Be open to learning something new, Be ready to try it out, Be ready to make mistakes and Be ready to accept where you are at.
