EP69 - so i did an event at the weekend with a q&a and thought it would be useful to share some of the answers i gave there. in this episode, i talk a lot about what i have learnt in terms of coping mechanisms for different stresses and challenges that often come along in life. whether that is waking up with anxiety, feeling frustrated towards a loved one or friend or comparing yourself to other people. whilst we have to accept that this will happen throughout life, we can become better at managing our reaction towards it and how we deal with it, that's the part that really matters. i hope you guys can relate and take something from this, lotsa love as always xoxo Hosted on Acast.

EP68 - we are constantly evolving and there is such beauty in that. we have an opportunity each day to make subtle changes to become who we want to be and achieve the goals we have set ourselves. coming back from Australia, there are a lot of small habits i want to prioritise maintaining and building upon, such as being more organised, cooking meals myself to fuel my body properly, improving my sleep pattern and more. maybe this can inspire some new habits for you or provide some motivation to dedicate yourself to creating habits that benefit your personal goals...lotsa love as always xoxo Hosted on Acast.

EP67 - have you ever considered that the answer to your problems doesn't lie in losing weight and that it could be in healing the relationship you have with your body? i know from experience that your happiness and opportunities do not come from dieting and exercising to the point where you achieve a 'dream body'. your physical appearance cannot and will not resolve the issues you have that are related to your mental or emotional wellbeing. this episode is all about breaking down those bad body image days, how to deal with them and how to be kind to yourself because you are enough just as you are. let's focus on shifting that negative and unproductive mindset rather than numbers on the scales this year. lotsa love as always xoxo Hosted on Acast.

EP51 - hey guys! ran out of time to record a long episode this week but didn't want to miss the chance to speak to you. i have been struggling with not feeling good enough lately and realised that a lot of this comes from that little critic in my brain so i am prioritising positive and kind self-talk. this includes managing my reactions to situations, telling myself i am capable and can do hard things and just overall cutting myself some slack. i hope this is useful, please let me know if you relate at all

EP49 - there's no set track in life, it's not an all or nothing thing. we need to allow for unexpected plans, new opportunities, challenges we may face and life in general. if we put this unnecessary pressure on ourselves to eat the perfect diet, smash our precisely planned workout or complete every single thing we said we would do each day, we will simply burn out and struggle to find the joy and balance we deserve. i am not saying that discipline isn't necessary at times but i have been learning the beauty of being kind to myself and being free from a set 'track'. enjoy and lotsa love as always xxxThis episode was kindly sponsored by FreeSoul, I have been using their products for over 6 months and love their FS-greens in particular which I have every single day.

EP48 - speaking to a guy for the first time?! struggling with balance now it is summer?! how i put men in their place?! it's alllllll covered in this episode. it is a big old realisation round up with the general theme being that we are not perfect, that is absolutely okay and learning through error is actually a pretty great way to live life and notice growth. i am sure you will relate to some or all of what i speak about in some way and hope that it provides a level of comfort or maybe even a new perspective. enjoy and lotsa love as always xxx Hosted on Acast.

EP47 - this summer is not about looking perfect, having the best tan or being on top of every single part of our life. this summer is about fun, making memories, allowing ourselves the opportunity to grow and accepting ourselves exactly as we are. i talk fast in this episode and it's honestly because the realisation that summer is allowed to be a time where i enjoy myself and embrace it rather than spend my time worrying about how i look and what others think. i hope it gets you excited and in the same mindset, lotsa love as always xx Hosted on Acast.

EP46 - this is a big catch up episode. I slowed down a bit this week (compared to last week) which gave me time to realise how far I have come.

EP45 - you need boundaries to protect yourself but you also need to understand the power within you to exceed your own limits and the expectations of others. when we prioritise ourself by taking action based on a boundary we have in place, we are actively choosing ourself and putting ourselves in a position to thrive and reach our full potential. this episode is alllll about how i have realised this recently, why i am no longer a fan of the word 'productivity' and some of the lessons i am unlearning surrounding balance. also, happy 1 year to inside anna's mind!! lotsa love as always, enjoy! x Hosted on Acast.

EP44 - stop working against yourself and start working with yourself. that's what i needed to hear this week. our brains are quirky, unique and work in weird and wonderful ways, rather than changing them, let's work to understand them and appreciate them. there is so much growth and joy to come from understanding ourselves and the way our minds work. for me, i have had so many realisations recently about learning to not fear my thoughts, understanding my attachment style and so much more. i hope you enjoy and this encourages you to reflect and tune into your mind. lotsa love as always x Hosted on Acast.
