@elemntor a predatory company that didn't make it clear that this was an annual fee! Despite asking within 24 hours of being charged 4 renewal, no refund. I don't care that it's in your terms and conditions- good customer service should refund when the request is reasonable.
Let’s face it, life is often more challenging than restful. We’re frequently confronted with situations and circumstances that are asking us to grow. When cancer comes into your life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, like a deer in headlights.

Recognize your favorite parts of yourself and the feelings of confidence they bring up, especially in times of self-doubt. It’s easy to beat ourselves up when we “fail” or hit a bump in the road, but when we remind ourselves how special we are, our feeling of self-worth improves.
Albert Einstein said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Think about the narrative you have created for yourself in the past - does it look the same as the life you are living right now? If we want to change our story then we must understand where it came from. What is it that we are #internalizing?
Without this awareness, we can easily fall into a self-limiting and self-critical trap. Wounds left untreated don’t get better.
Becoming aware of the negative feelings linked to our self-worth can help us unpack why they are making themselves known. Acknowledging unwelcome thoughts or negative self-talk doesn’t mean we are accepting these things as the truth about our character.
We navigate the world believing that we are born with the capacity to live a perfect and prosperous life and that when we don’t, it’s because we have gotten in the way of ourselves somehow. This is where our sense of self-worth comes in.
I’m sure most of you know today is the winter solstice but it is also National Look On The Bright Side Day. For these 2 special occasions, I have a ritual for you to try. What hopes do you have for the new season as well as the new year? ✨
I suppose it is their size that made them a great metaphor for the discomfort that comes from ignoring the elephant in the room.

Try incorporating more mental grounding into your daily life! Doing this can significantly decrease stress that often leaves us overwhelmed or burned out.

Cancer patients globally have been affected by Covid-19. From appointment cancellations, treatment changes, and unexpected disruptions, Covid has left no stone unturned. In fact, in England there are 5 million patients waiting on treatment.
