Hey Friends!
Boundaries are essential to healthy relationships. All type of relationships, could be setting boundaries with family, a partner or friends.
When we forgive someone it could be the case that they are no longer part of our lives, we let them go and move on.
However, often we forgive and allow the other person to stay in our lives. If this is the case, forgiving doesn’t mean that we are ok to go through the same pain again. In order to avoid repeated patterns and situations we need to know ourselves and be able to apply boundaries to our relationships.
Some of the most common are:
1. Saying no
2. Refusing to take the blame if it wasn’t your fault
3. Expecting respect
4. Accepting help
5. Asking for space

Hey Friends!
Sometimes we find it harder to forgive ourselves because we had expectations of a certain outcome in a situation, high expectations of a person that is important to us, or we cannot simply accept that someone we believed was close to us betrayed us.
Accepting is key. When we learn that not every situation is under our control and accept that life is always going to put us through these situations, that’s when we can start healing. It’s a process. Won’t happen overnight, but it’s something that’s within our power. We choose to forgive for our own good. Even if you are not ready to forgive someone do it for yourself, not for them.

💖 Self love Sunday 💖
In clinic this week, recognising the need for self love and caring for oneself was a common theme.
Over Christmas and New Year, many of us felt that we had fell off the "bandwagon" and indulged a little "too much" - this is completely ok! Too many of us make ourselves feel guilty for just... living a life.
Forgive and be kind to yourself ❤️
I believe it IS a form of self love when you listen to your body and recognise when you do not have the capacity to do everything, and letting go when you need to.
When you're feeling demotivated and low, reserve your precious energy for the essentials. Grab a takeaway and relax, it's going to be fine.
Living well is not straightforward. It's a wobbly journey and full of peaks and troughs! It's not easy to be 💯 all the time. When you feel a wobble coming on, know that you can pick yourself back up again, and again. The more you do it, the more you will bounce back. You are strong and resilient.
When you feel low, I would like you to think about how you feel and what you think your body needs. Write it all down. How does the food you are eating make you feel? Do certain foods energise you or deplete you? Simply having an awareness of how foods make you feel in the moment, helps you make better choices later.
Once you have an understanding of what nourishes you, use food as a tool for self-love. Feed yourself the food your body deserves and needs, because you are worthy. Cook yourself a delicious and nutritious meal and enjoy it! Love your body and all it does for you, because it's the only one you have.
Here for you if you need me.
Lots of love, Laura 💖
