What is self caring and why do you need to schedule it into your day?

Posted by Jo Harris on

"When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life."
Jean Shinoda Bolen.

I just love the term “self-caring”. It's my new favourite. Practice saying it! “I am just doing some self-caring. I will be there in 20!” What a great thing to say to your friends, your parents or your kids and what a great model for everyone else to be inspired by. Care enough about yourself to make time and room for self care

5 ways to make your life better with small gratitude practices

Posted by Jo Harris on

When times are tough, it can be difficult to be grateful. You are in Melbourne (or elsewhere) in lockdown again. You have no or little income because of the closures of your business or place of work. You have a kid (or kids at home) who are doing (or resisting) online schooling and need your intervention or time. Your relationship is at its limit and you have no family around for support (or they're far away). It is really easy to focus on what you don't like or what is hard, too easy! But is it possible that what you focus on, is what you attract more of in your life? The law of attraction says exactly this, that what we focus on is what we attract, as everything is energy and like attracts like. So do you want more of those negative things (which would possibly end up in a mental health crisis) or do you want to focus on more of what you want to bring into your life?

Why we need more trees

Posted by Jo Harris on

April is Earth month and today, April 22nd is Earth Day.

Did you know that Earth Day is celebrating its 51st year of existence? It all started in 1970 allowing the birth of an environmental movement along with a voice for environmental consciousness in the United States and then worldwide. This then saw the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the start of the passing of many laws to protect the environment. In 1990 Earth day became global and now 193 countries are involved. 

I love any excuse to celebrate the earth, so to celebrate Earth Day, Soularoma is donating to One Tree Planted. For every online order received from 22nd April to 30th April, Soularoma will buy trees to be planted in Australia from One Tree Planted (https://onetreeplanted.org/products/australia?variant=18462048452670)

    Posted by Jo Harris on

    The idea behind earth hour 2021 is to #switchofffornature meaning thinking about using renewable energies to protect our earth, making the switch to protect our earth. For example, did you know that in Australia, 80% of our electricity is produced from non-renewable sources and that Australia is the biggest producer and exporter of coal? According to the WWF, traditional electricity production accounts for one third of our emissions in Australia.

    Ten essential oils to increase love and open the heart

    Posted by Jo Harris on

    Love

    Joy

    Warmth

    Compassion

    Kindness

    Support

    Who doesn't want more of these in their life?

    February is the month of love, love for another, a partner, a child, a family member, an animal, but most of all oneself. If we can't love ourselves fully, we have little hope in being able to healthily love another. So it starts with ourselves. Just as in EFT (tapping) commonly, the change starts by saying "I deeply and completely love and accept myself".
