Become a Patron!I was part of a panel of four on “Physiological Change: Self Care” organised by The Change School on Wed 4 April 2017.
During the session, I talked about my personal story of having experienced
- Depression
- Hives for months
- Role of exercise in my life
- Importance of discipline
- Returning to our daily routines that anchor us
I’d be the first to admit that I’m not perfect and that I’ve learned about life and about myself through trial and error. I’ve talked about and wrote about the above numerous times and you may find my articles published in Elephant Journal useful here.
Event Synopsis:

Daily Life/Work can be stressful. From the never-ending stream of work deadlines, social obligations, instant communications and life admin, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos and the physiological impact of trying to keep up.
Too often we feel drained and depleted because we are too willing to please others, putting their needs ahead of our own. Most of us have heard about the importance of self-care, but we don’t do it enough because we don’t know how. Self-care is about nurturing our body, mind and spirit – taking care of our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing – for our own sanity and sustainability.
The time and effort we invest in self-care practices will determine the positivity, confidence and resilience we bring to our daily Life/Work.
Come along to this month’s Change Talks on Self Care to address these key questions:
– How do you create the space for self-care?
– What habits can you create for yourself for a saner, more – sustainable life?
– How do you stay motivated and disciplined to sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle?
– How do you create boundaries to avoid burnout and bring our very best selves to our daily Life/Work?
Who should attend?
– Professionals / Business owners looking to create more work/life balance
– Entrepreuners suffering symptoms of burnout, craving more quality space and guidance for taking better care of themselves
– Over-achievers who are driven by demands of their inner critic
– People-pleasers who struggle to say ‘no’ and prioritise themselves
– Serial worriers seeking support with creating better habits for personal sanity and sustainability
-New/Young parents needing to take time for yourself without feeling guilty
– Anyone interested in building better habits, routines and practices for self-care
