SECRET INGREDIENT TO AN EMOTIONALLY HAPPY HOME

Happy Friday! How has your week been? 💟💞

Do you ever have those mornings when you wake up and you feel irritable and you're like, 'No, no, no' I want to feel happy and light? 😊💫✨ I was feeling this way one morning this week and I knew the emotion was communicating something to me. So I took a deep breath and embraced it like a big, warm hug. I had an inkling it had something to do with the night before. 🤔😏 What I then did was reach out for another set of eyes from my healing sister. 👀👀 💕💕 Please know that you are always welcome to text me in these spaces as I would love to be another set of eyes for you. ☮💞

One of the main secret ingredients to creating an Emotionally Happy Home® 😘😍🏡🏡 has been in having another set of eyes on us (along with many one on one sessions in the past). Home is where you can let go with the most vulnerability and where we have the freedom to express all of our colours. 🎗🎈🎁

If you're open and willing to see the full spectrum of your colours in the home (dark, grey, red, bright yellow) then you have an opportunity to evolve, grow, make different choices and connect more deeply with yourself and others. ✨🎇

The creator of the systems, Jules O'Neill has been that other set of eyes for us. 💚💛 So many times I've reached out for help, desiring clarity on what is going on in our home if things are feeling funky. When you're in your own patterns, programs and knots it's not always easy to see. 👀 Once I'm aware, I can make different choices and what was once unconscious, now becomes conscious. 👌👌🌺🌺

So I texted Jules and sure enough she confirmed what I suspected. It was watching a Netflix series for 2 hours the night before with my husband. I went to blame 2 things:

1. That Netflix show always pulls me in 😍🤣🥰

2. I was so influenced by my husband. 😘🥰😍

None of which were true - I'm responsible for my choices. 💪💦 It's never another person or thing. The outside may pull out something on the inside - emotions, but they would've already been in me. 💌💨

That night I'd decided to meditate and finish listening to an awesome spiritual audio book, however I hadn't followed my flow. To be spiritual and conscious everyday in the home environment requires a lot of presence. 🌱🌼💝

A HELPING HAND

Happy Tuesday 🌈 How has your week been?

My gorgeous husband asked me the other night what I would love for Christmas - some yoga clothes, lingerie, a break away or a massage? 💰🎅🤶

My response was, 'Love, it's a four letter word. It starts with 't' and ends with 'e' - time! 🕗🕚🕝 I would love time in our home - a break from cooking, cleaning, washing etc so that I can sleep in, read a book, potter in our garden'. I believe time is one of the most precious commodities on the planet.💞

I also believe that a big part of creating an Emotionally Happy Home is receiving a helping hand so that every mother and father has time to relax, be gentle and to be still. ☮🙏🌈 If one is to have a thriving sex life, a healthy/fit body, flowing finances, nourishing food for the family, connected relationships, peaceful thoughts, gentle communication and happy parenting, then time is priceless. ☯⏰🕰⌚

One of the Emotionally Happy Homes®' tools that I use a lot is: 'Who and what can offer lightness?' I either sit in meditation, journal, ask the question with my hand on my heart, do self awareness/receive awareness and the intuition and insights find me. 💞💖💕

Some of the choices I've made for a season or two which have contributed to more time and consequently, lightness in the home include:

• Daycare

• Aupair

• Cleaner

• Healthy food delivery services

• Babysitters

• Help from parents/friends

There was a time in my life when it wasn't easy to own that I'd invested in these different types of support (my own self judgments) so that I had more space in my life. However, the time it gave me to be still, rest, process my emotions, read or meditate, enabled me to show up with greater softness and gentleness in my family. 💟💖💞

Please know that you are so welcome to email me back if you have any questions, feedback or if there is anything I can help you with. 💚 Here's to creating Emotionally Happy Homes® from the inside out. 💕

Have a wonderful week ahead! 😘😘

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

P.S. I will be on holidays from Saturday, the 21st of December until Wednesday, the 8th of January. I so look forward to connecting with you all after the Christmas/New Year break. 💟💝💖

HAPPY HOME RHYTHMS

Happy Sunday! How has your week been?

Something that has made a difference in our family is creating happy home rhythms. I feel we are conditioned in our family life to push through, work ourselves into the ground, fight for what we want or make do with the 'daily grind'!

However, let's create rhythms that contribute to balance, ease, peace and vitality in our homes! We signed up to have fun on the planet and enjoy our life so let's do it now!! 💨💫💛🎆🎉✨

Here are a few examples of rhythms we have in our home:

• My husband goes to the beach 3 mornings a week, where he enjoys a spiritual practice of Qi Gong, meditation, affirmations and time to contemplate.

• A rhythm that we have with our son (4yrs) which is inspired by the Steiner School philosophy is where you have the 'in breath' (connection time) and 'out breath' (independent free play time). So we follow a rhythm of in breath, out breath, in breath and out breath throughout the day.

• I love my yoga practice 4 times a week and go to the beach at least 3 times a week to relax and swim!

Choose one of the rhythms (or come up with your own) below to add or change in your daily life, with the purpose of creating more joy in your week.

• Food / cooking

• Exercise

• Relaxation

• Nature

• Reading

• Making love

• Work

• Children's routines

• Friend time

Remember, that if you can internally create a rhythm that flows and contributes to ease in your home, then your external world will reflect that. Everything can easily find you - money, friends, inspiration, love, without you having to push 💨💨

Please also know that you are so welcome to email me back if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help you with💚 Here's to creating happy homes! 💕

Have a wonderful week ahead! 😘😘

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

EMOTIONALLY HAPPY HOME REMEDY THROUGH THE WINTER!

If you’ve ever lived in a cold country, you’ll know that it takes a lot of resilience to get that body of yours out the door in rain, hail or snow, because let’s be honest adding an additional ten layers of clothing can be quite a workout!

However, it takes a certain level of strength and choice, to get moving and venture out into the refreshing and invigorating -10 degrees temperatures. The alternative is to turn into a gorgeous, cuddly, warm hibernating bear and while it may be appealing to ‘sleep’ through the winter, there is fun to be had on this fabulous planet!

Do you also have days where the external environment may influence your internal? Like it keeps you indoors? Do your thoughts about work, money, relationship, family stress influence how you feel throughout the day? Because let’s face it, we all experience emotional stress at some point! However, those strong, intense winds need not blow us over or break our branches!

So, let’s begin! Let’s get those ten layers of clothing on right now and don’t forget your beanie! We’re going to venture out and that financial, relationship and work drama stress is not going to influence or take over your day! Now it’s going to be really tempting to stay indoors – the worry, stress or drama may feel safe or perhaps you’ve lived in it for so long that it feels normal, but there is something within you that only you control and have a choice with. I know too that the more you do it, it can and will easily and effortlessly transform your vibration!

It is the three- letter word, FUN…! Now I’m not talking about sitting down and watching a comedy movie, I’m talking about tapping into your eccentric, crazy, spontaneous side and unleashing him or her in the home! It only takes 1 minute a day… to step out of the external stress and into the world of your imagination!

Maybe your partner arrives home from work and it’s as if you’re at an airport or restaurant (yes, you managed to score the role in ‘Love Actually’) and haven’t seen him or her for eons – you greet him/her by running, leaping (disclosure: I take no responsibility for any injuries that may be incurred) and smothering him or her in kisses!

If you’re a mum, then you’ve so got this! If you’re like me you’ve mimicked every animal there is to get your divine child to jump in the shower, brush their teeth or jump into bed! I personally like the crocodile, but the monster seems to be coming out a lot more lately! Nothing like a big loud, “RAAAA” at the end of the day! Just in case your crazy child self has been in hiding, here are a few ‘1 minute of fun’ suggestions to do on your own, with your partner or kids in the home:

·       Opera singer – 1 min to really see how powerful your lungs are!

·       Egg and spoon race – a goodie and quickie with your munchkins

·       Dance on the table to your fav song – rock it guy/gal! You may not be 21 anymore, but you still got it!

·       Dance in the rain! Our son loves this one!

·       Pretend it’s your loved one’s birthday all the time! Give small little presents (thank you to our 3 year- old son for the inspiration with this one – he tells me it’s my birthday most days. I have wrapped up presents with sticks, pencils, scissors and he is so excited giving them to me – nothing like having a birthday and not getting a year older!)

·       Break out in song, whenever the feeling finds you!

It only takes a minute of your day to remember that you are not your emotional stress, you are the most magnificent, creative, intuitive, gifted being! The world is certainly your stage! No matter what is happening externally in your life, 1 minute of fun can shift your vibration and more importantly create an Emotionally Happy Home® for all that share it!

So, you can now take off all those layers of warmth – thank you for braving the cold… fun is only one choice away! No one can take that away from you!! You may not be able to change the stormy weather conditions right now, but you can create an internal environment in yourself and your home that is light, fun and maybe a little crazy at times!

BALANCE IN FAMILY

I remember vividly the honest words my husband uttered to me one afternoon after he arrived home with our son.

He shared, “Hon, help me understand your actions when I arrive home with Ethan (our 3-year-old son). You run to him, arms wide open, pick him up, swing him around, kiss his cheeks all over and tell him how much you love him and I receive a quick hello and a peck on the cheek if I’m lucky!”

I went quiet and searched for the answer, but I couldn’t find one! I went to reach for the ‘We’ve been married for 15 years’ answer but that didn’t really suffice! Instead, I said, “Love, from now on I’m going to make a different choice” and so I did! Well maybe not the pick him up and swing him around, but a good smooching, hug and affirming my love for him!

As a parent, I know too well how much we want to give to our partners, children, health, food, career, play, friends, exercise, home, finances and the list goes on! However, there are days where it may feel like it rains too heavily and our roots are soaked or one of our branches breaks from the power of the wind! I’ve found one of the most powerful ways to face the strong winds or the heavy rains is to share and open up! If there is an imbalance, leaning into the winds or the rain, creates the space for it to dissipate, create balance and peace.

I had a client come to see me, with the purpose of creating emotional happiness in herself, with her partner and in her family. Her relationship was rocky with her husband and the emotional stress was in her pituitary gland! We went back to an original time of 30 years and that was when she had a miscarriage and she needed her husband and time off work to process it.

However, she didn’t feel she could open up and ask for the support and for him to be there! She felt on her own back then and now in her relationship! This was what had been dominating their relationship for the last 7 years. Based on the consciousness of her body, we explored how she could now let go of the past and open up with her partner with what she was needing to thrive now!

If there is a space that you feel is dominating or taking over your life like career stress, parental struggles, relationship issues, money stress or health problems, I would so recommend opening up and sharing with your loved ones or the person/people involved. This enables that beautiful body of yours to release any stress in your thyroid gland (throat) and opens up your wisdom to explore solutions, tap into your own feelings and release any stored emotions that the body has been holding onto! It can all be gently, kindly and lovingly released!

And the greatest gift of all, is that opening up with those nearest and dearest enables you to grow strong roots, so that you can grow a resilient trunk and fruit in family and all the spaces that you love!

Sending you all lots of love!
