We were lucky enough to be gifted some Buddy Scrub to trial – it’s an all natural body scrub which aims to exfoliate, nourish and moisturise you. This product is made in Melbourne, Australia. It’s all natural and tested on humans not animals. I didn’t need any more encouragement to get down and dirty in the shower with this buddy!
We’ve had the wonderful Jackie Durnin share posts on Faster EFT over the past two weeks, you can revisit them here and here.
I wanted to take this opportunity to share my own personal experiences of working with the delightful Tappy Jackie.
Background
I’ve known Jackie since 2006 having worked together for many years across two agencies. I have been lucky enough to witness and join her on her personal evolution from the corporate world to holistic healing and also to share her journey with Faster EFT. Jackie is someone I consider to be a dear friend – a wonderful sounding board, a joyous soul and someone who will always put a smile on my face.
I’ve long admired Nelson Mandela. I remember staying in the same hotel as him in Bahrain, well over a decade ago and catching a glimpses of him as he walked by. He was a lot taller than I imagined him to be and his smile was striking and as full of warmth as you’d expect.
He was someone I considered to be a true leader, an inspirational man and a transformational figure. His inspiration and motivation spanned countries across Africa and beyond.
There are plenty of characteristics and traits this charismatic man had that leaders and people in general would benefit from emulating, including: honesty, integrity, fighting spirit, persuader / negotiator, and dreamer. That’s just to name just a few!
As I enter my mid-30s I’ve noticed I have a lot more peace with my body and also my body image is less negative and some days it’s actually very positive.
Don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty of bad days where I’m hyper critical of myself, but I am aware of the pattern. The negative thoughts are very closely related to my hormones and often raise their ugly heads when I’ve not been looking after myself (lack of sleep, overdoing it or having a bit of a tough time). Being more conscious of this means I’m able to be less tied to them and they act as a bit of a red flag that I need to step up the kindness level to myself – take time out, pamper, relax, nourish rightly and do any of those items I know will help me reclaim some of that balance.
