A Letter Of Apology To My Body
A LETTER OF APOLOGY TO MY BODY
17 / AUGUST / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
‘DEAR BODY… Please forgive me!
I’m sorry for all the years of abuse
I’m sorry for all the harsh words I’ve said about you
I’m sorry for all the terrible thoughts I’ve had about you
I’m sorry for the times I’ve hidden you, punished you, and sabotaged you.
I’m sorry for failing to care for you and hate you when you were doing the best you could.
Today, I’d like to thank you….
Thank you for providing me with the one true home I live in every single day.
Thank you for still showing up for me everyday when I failed to nourish you.
Thank you for still providing me with the energy to function when I put you through burnout.
Thank you for not giving up on me when I exerted you with exercise.
Thank you for allowing me to move and teach and coach even through injury.
Thank you for now supporting me as I continue to nourish you back to health the best I can.
MY PROMISE TO YOU...
To love you for where you are right now
To love all of you, every roll, curve, freckle, muscle and squish of cellulite
To speak about you as if I was talking lovingly to my 8 year old self
To clear out the negative thoughts if ever they appear
To fuel you with nutrients to help us THRIVE
To give you enough rest so you can SHINE
To train in a healthy way so you are STRONG
To stand proud and show up for you, knowing that you have been with me through thick and thin and still showed up for me.
I PROMISE to be the happiest, healthiest, strongest and most empowered version of myself in the body that I have been blessed with!
With Love,
Sheree x’
FINAL THOUGHTS
So, often we hate on ourselves, judge, compare and develop a low self-esteem because we wish our bodies looked or felt different.
This is my letter to my body, and my belief that we should flip our mindset, deeper than self-love, but self-compassion and gratitude for all that we put our bodies through on a daily basis.
Look after your one true home… It's doing its best to look after you! To the girl I was then… I forgive you!
P.S. What is your #1 promise to your body?
Yours in Health & Happiness,
Sheree xo

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
As I contemplate writing this, it's a wet winter day, cold outside and I have my heater on by my feet. I am sipping on warm lemon water, and reflecting on my life this time a year ago…
If you’ve been in my world for awhile now, you will know I LOVE personal development, I am ridiculously sensitive and therefore the very sentimental type. It also helps that I am a Cancer Sun and Moon, Enneagram Two and Projector on Human Design (and if you have no idea what those mean, don’t worry, but it’s fun to learn more about our human selves).
I share this with you because my last year around the Sun has been one of deep transformation, tests and triumphs, yet I still find myself wanting to explore, expand and grow in so many new ways. It seems that has always been the case too.
BEING TOO BUSY
My mother told me when I was little that I was always ‘too busy’, never had time to stop, slow down or even pause for a cuddle, my eyes and mind were always focused and fixated on the ‘next thing’.
Although the cuddle part comes as a surprise (I am a very affectionate person who is always up for a hug), I’ve really come to learn that this core sense of urgency and focusing on the future hasn’t really changed.
It seems no matter whether I am 8 or 28 there is something inside of me that continues to push and focus on what’s ahead, now whilst this is great, I do love the fact that it drives me and makes me ambitious, it also has been one of my biggest struggles.
I share this with you because I know I am not alone, and I also know the rate at which the world is moving right now is at a speed none of us really know how to keep up with… and it only seems to be getting faster.
You see the more we speed up and focus on the future, the more we miss out on the present, the more we are never truly happy or satisfied with the blessings that are right in front of us.
It is always ‘the next goal’, the next house, the next trip, the next job, and all the fears and anxieties around achieving those and where we should be by this time in our lives.
I’ll be honest with you, I know I am still ‘young’ in the grand scheme of things, but there are social pressures and biological clocks that are ticking that give a woman in particular even more stress.
When I was little I used to think by the time I was 28 I would be married with my 2 or 3 children, have my little white picket fence house, be a teacher and settled down in my life. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, and as much as this does freak me out a little, I am actually really excited for what the future holds and the fact I still have all of those dreams to still look forward to.
FINAL THOUGHTS
So this is your reminder, if you aren’t where you want to be right now, maybe you aren’t even close, look around at all you have to be grateful for. Stop, take a breath in, breathe it out, simply acknowledge how far you have come, and the fact you keep showing up every single day (even when you don’t feel like it).
I know this sense of urgency I have and struggle to slow down is in fact the one thing that is holding me back. If I stopped trying to do so much, and really simplified the things in my life, I know that things can happen a lot quicker and easier… so that is my goal moving forward.
More rest, more easy, more breaks, more time in the NOW, rather than the WHEN (when this happens, when I achieve this, when I can afford ‘x’...) and embracing the person, the body, the life that I already have.
So as I celebrate my birthday this week, I step into an even deeper feeling of gratitude, not for materials that I am thankful to receive, but for every single one of you that is here… reading this, part of the community, that I may have had the privilege to work with or yet to have the privilege to work with, the fact that I have a deep sense of connection to my purpose and mission which is to help human’s heal (particular females), and it is my hope that with every step we can support and uplift one another.
Thank you for being here, thank you for being you and sending you love and light in all your endeavours :) 🙏
With this I will leave you with my favourite quote from Kung Fu Panda (not sure of the original proverb author) … Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the PRESENT!
Yours in Health & Happiness,
Sheree xo

5 Things To Prioritise For Optimal Health
SHEREE'S PYRAMID OF PRIORITIES - 5 PRIORITIES TO OPTIMISE YOUR HEALTH
16 / MARCH / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
I get asked all the time… How do I lose weight? How do I balance my hormones? How do I heal my gut? Honestly, it all starts HERE, with the 5 priorities I am about to share with you! This is your foundation to health…
TOP 5 PRIORITIES
1. STRESS + SLEEP:
Do not underestimate the impact stress has on your body, this can be food stress, emotional stress, physical stress, mental stress you name it. It triggers inflammation, can negatively impact your gut health and throw your hormones out of whack if you’re constantly producing tonnes of your stress hormone cortisol!
Stress also has a massive impact on our sleep, which as you will know from experience, a poor night's sleep throws you off for the entire day, if not the entire week! Sleep is where we rest, repair, create long-term memories, and recover, in fact it is arguably THE most important thing we should be doing for our health as humans.
YET, we tend to be completely okay sacrificing it time and time again for more things that are creating stress in our life. A lack of sleep not only tells your body to store more fat, but also encourages you to overeat (and not the good stuff), you typically reach for quick fixes of energy - like sugar and caffeine!
You have to be managing your stress and getting enough sleep, this is a NON-NEGOTIABLE for achieving your goals… focus on having set boundaries around your work hours, and getting 7 - 9 hours sleep EVERY single night!
2. SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS:
Forget diets, eat REAL food, you know, the stuff without an ingredients list (or a minimal one), your body knows what to do with it! Yup… if you can’t pronounce the ingredient, chances are your body doesn’t know how to use it and it provides no nutritional value.
In fact, REAL foods like your meat, poultry, fish, fruits and veggies do not even come with an ingredients list. These are the kinds of foods your diet should be rich in. When you look at your plate, you should be asking yourself, is that enough protein? Is that enough greens? What NUTRIENTS am I getting!
Then once you know your nutrient intake is great, you can weave in things that are sometimes foods if you want to. It is about balance, but whole real foods should make up at least 80% of your diet.
3. SUPPORT + SELF-CARE:
Don’t expect yourself to know how to do everything or to do everything for everyone else. Self-care and support go hand in hand. This can literally look like asking for more help from the people around you…
Remember, how easily you say yes to everyone and want to support, well others love to help too. It is OKAY to ask for help and it is okay to receive it too! Sharing the load makes for a much happier environment and YOU! Also, make it a non-negotiable to have at least 5 minutes of YOU time daily and an hour a week if you can, doing something you love!
If you want to take your health to the next level, and aren’t sure to start, it is worth investing in yourself. I cannot tell you how much my health has been fast tracked through having the support and guidance from coaches.
4. STRENGTH TRAINING:
Ladies… LIFT! If you want to boost your metabolism, support optimal hormone production, and feel empowered, start moving some weights! I cannot stress this enough. No matter what age you are, this will support your health and well-being.
And NO it isn’t going to make you bulky, in fact it will help lean you out, get your bones stronger and of course help you feel stronger and fitter within yourself!
Remember… We all start somewhere, so if it's 1kg or 100kg, you got this! Join a gym, take part in a group fitness program, whatever it looks like, but start picking up some weight. It doesn’t have to replace your exercise currently, but see if it can become something you do 2 - 3 x a week. The results will speak for themselves!
5. SUPPLEMENTS:
This is NOT a one size fits all! Make sure you’re supporting your body with the nutrients that we can’t get enough of through food, or are being depleted by stress! Unfortunately, when it comes to supplements, you definitely want to be careful what you put in the body as not all supplements are created equal!
The other side of the supplement equation is that they do play a very important role! Nowadays our soils aren’t being replenished with the nutrients they once were and this leads to deficiencies of nutrients in our food supply, like zinc, iodine and selenium! And if they aren’t in the soil then they aren’t in our food and then we can’t get them!
So, I recommend that you speak to a qualified health-care provider (like myself) when choosing supplements so you aren’t just taking anything off the shelves!
Yours in Health,

THE SECRET TO DITCHING THE DIET MENTALITY FOR GOOD…
Do you ever feel like you can’t ‘TREAT YOURSELF’ or it will undo all your hard work? 🙅🏼♀️🍫
How was your weekend? Did you enjoy a meal out or two? Or maybe five? Or did you spend it feeling restricted or guilty??
Did you know that whether it is chocolate, pizza or just a regular tub of ice cream, if you want to eat the food or not, the choice is actually completely up to you!
Now that might sound ridiculously obvious, but I cannot tell you how many people I’ve worked with (myself included), that had actually given all their power away to the food!
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
How about instead of focusing on what you can’t have, focus on what you really want!
Seriously! The amount of times I have actually passed up chocolate, ice cream and cake because I really didn’t feel like it, and other times where I have devoured more than my share!
There was a time where bingeing was my go to, followed by purging… I won’t even tell you what happened to the poor giant Reese’s pieces peanut butter egg that I ate in one sitting.
But that was before I found the balance I now have. There is no restriction, so there is literally no need to binge or purge.
I give myself full permission to have what I want, when I want, and this for me is truly FREEING!
By listening to my body, hunger cues, feeling into whether or not I am wanting the chocolate from a place of lack and emotion, or because I truly want to enjoy it and savour every delicious mouthful, has been a GAME CHANGER!
And if it worked for me (with my history of ED), then I know it can work for you!
The more you feel restricted, 🚫 the more your body and mind will fight you!
Try giving yourself grace and checking in with yourself 🤔 whether you really want the chocolate 🍫 or not, and if you do, ENJOY it! Every mouthful! 😍
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION
Next time you go to reach for food, any food, ask yourself ‘Is this what is really going to serve me?’
The key here is to answer HONESTLY! Listen to what your gut is telling you (like seriously), take that pause and then make your decision from a place of empowerment and completely GUILT FREE!
You can have your cake 🍰 and eat it too! LITERALLY 🤩
The other thing you want to ask yourself, is WHY do I want the chocolate/wine/pizza?
Is it to enjoy one with my family or friends?
Is it out of boredom and laziness?
Is it because I am stressed out?
Is it because I am lonely?
Is it because I am sad?
Is it because I am tired?
(You get the idea)
Start to bring CURIOSITY as to WHY there may be a feeling of GUILT coming up (often it is there far before you even eat the egg - am I right?)
So, if we address the emotion, the guilt, the underlying reason we are reaching for it, whether that be a quick fix or a delicious treat, then we can prevent the GUILT.
If that chocolate isn’t going to serve you in the moment, and what you’re really looking for is a hug, or some form of connection, then call a friend, find a flatmate that will give you a hug… it will mean you are giving the body and mind exactly what it wants.
Then if you still want the chocolate after that, then ENJOY it.
But you can eat it knowing that it isn’t because there is an EMOTIONAL DRIVER or boredom, but actually because the chocolate is what you want!
= NO GUILT!
Remember, just like ONE SALAD OR SMOOTHIE isn’t going to get you the body of your dreams, ONE SLICE OF PIZZA or four isn’t going to take it away!
Sending you love, and know that you are never alone!
If you are struggling with emotional eating or feeling guilty around food, flick me a DM! I am happy to help you through it x

10 Lessons From 2021
MY 10 BIGGEST LESSONS FROM 2021
15 / DECEMBER / 2021
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
After 2020… It became very clear that 2021 did NOT understand the assignment!
All joking aside, what a whirlwind this year has been, here in New Zealand I have been overwhelmed with the changes that have been going on, and am pleased to say finally out of an almost 4 month lockdown period!
I know it hasn’t been easy on the rest of the world this year either, so my heart goes out to all of you. Your feelings are valid, and it is okay if you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or just want to hide until all of this is over… I see you, and just know, you’ve got this!
One of my favourite things to do at the end of the year (I have even set it for my clients as homework this year), is to write down your own 10 lessons of 2021!
It is so easy for us to see all of the ‘crap’ we have gone through as exactly that, but I invite you to get curious and see how life is serving and supporting you through all of this turmoil. I also invite you to write down all of your wins this year, big and small, because you are worth celebrating!
Remember… Whatever lessons you have learnt this year, meet them with love and grace, and know inevitably, they are all serving you and your highest good!
MY 10 LESSONS:
#1: HAVE FAITH
My word of the year this year was FAITH, and like the Universe loves to do… it truly put me in positions where my faith was tested! But, as I have also learnt, life is always happening for you.
When I say faith, it was learning to have faith in something greater than me. I have never grown up practicing a religion, nor do I believe there is a right or wrong way to practice faith.
So for me, it was learning to trust that I am truly supported in all that I do, and that no matter the ups and downs I am always held by a greater force. I refer to it as The Universe or Source, for others it might be God.
Whatever you decide to call it, the essence in my opinion remains the same and has been what has gotten me through one of the toughest years yet, and I am so truly grateful for the gift of this lesson, and will continue to have faith in myself, the support around me and the Universe as I navigate my future years.
#2: YOU ARE WORTHY SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU EXIST
I’m not going to lie, this one is still a work in progress, but man, did I have some breakthroughs this year!!
Knowing my core wound or story is that “I’m not enough”, I had never truly realised that the reason I keep myself to such a tight schedule, so busy and always filling up my days with to-do lists was to inevitably avoid feeling this not enoughness.
My worth for goodness knows how long, was attached to how much I was DO-ING, rather than being loved and worthy for simply BE-ING!
This blew my mind, and is still something I have to remind myself on the daily. That no matter my level of productivity, I am enough simply because I exist. No emails, content, coaching, etc could ever change that.
#3: GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION… GUILT FREE!
Truly… this is something I have seen my clients struggle with so much this year and one of the things I have been thanked the most for; helping people give themselves permission.
Permission to eat the treat guilt free, to rest guilt free, to want more from themselves, bodies or lives… GUILT FREE!
I cannot tell you how long I struggled with the idea that the permission had to come from an external source - coach, partner, parent. And yet I hate the feeling of being controlled? Makes no sense right, yet here I was giving my power away day after day.
It wasn’t their fault, I just wasn’t clear enough in my boundaries internally, energetically and professionally. As soon as I gave myself permission to stop, not reply, or slow down… things dramatically shifted in my health and my happiness.
There is a difference between clear communication and being powerless!
#4: CELEBRATE MORE!
If there is ONE thing I wish women would do more… CELEBRATE THEMSELVES!! And no, I don’t mean go out and drink more wine (although if you want to, do it)!
I mean look back on your week, month, day OFTEN and see how much you have accomplished, not just physically… mentally, emotionally and spiritually!
We are so quick to support our friends, or sometimes we get a competitive streak and drop into comparison and that removes the feeling of celebrating other women, but this needs to SHIFT!!
You, your friends, your family, the strangers that we feel like we know on the internet, all need to be celebrated for the amazing things they are doing, no matter how big or small! Keep a list of your wins close by and add to it often to remind yourself of how amazing you are doing!
Forget cancel culture. Let’s create a celebrate culture! Where we lift each other up, help one another be seen, because DAMN! It not only feels good, but what you celebrate in others you also call forward in yourself!
#5: PRACTICE FORGIVENESS
It has been a year full of judgements, towards others, towards ourselves, making us question our decisions, our beliefs and where we stand on things, and if we are making the right choices.
The hardest thing when you judge yourself, is that you really can’t see clearly. If you are looking for answers, you just pull yourself down into a lower frequency when you are being judgemental.
It doesn’t matter if it is of others or yourself, it is a toxic practice, one that I am practicing letting go of.
Now the opposite of judgement is forgiveness. This doesn’t mean that you just let things slide and people or your mind walk all over you, but you can practice forgiveness, when you are ready to move into a state of acceptance. To remove the weight of beliefs that are holding you back and to free yourself from judgements you have made!
I have learnt this art form deeply in Alyssa Nobriga’s Institute for Coaching Mastery where I studied this year to get my life coaching certification… that is a whole other blog post though!
#6: IT IS OKAY TO FAIL
You remember me mentioning not feeling enough… Yup, well if I wasn’t productive and completing my daily to-do’s then I was a failure, and guess what, I attached that to being not enough too!
In my opinion, something is only really a failure when you stop trying, and this little trooper here NEVER GIVES UP!
Even when times are hard, there is always a way through, and just like when we were baby’s learning to walk, no matter how many times we fell down, we didn’t let that stop us from trying again.
Your failures don’t need to mean anything about you, the best thing you can do is take the lessons from them and see how they are actually working to support you; which ties perfectly into my next lesson…
#7: LIFE IS HAPPENING FOR YOU
To further the lesson of it being okay to fail…
Let me be real with you. I launched something this year and it was THE biggest flop that my business has ever seen. I took it so personally, made it mean so much about me, that I was a failure, no one wanted to work with me, etc…
But the truth was, I was burnt out, exhausted, in the middle of a lockdown and it was actually such a gift that my flop of an idea didn’t end up going ahead because my health would’ve deteriorated.
I have had so many failures in my life, and now I look back and see the lessons, and gifts they have all been. They have been the stepping stones that have supported me along the way.
Without these failures, I wouldn’t have reached the success as they were all valuable opportunities to learn. And whilst you may be in the middle of a lesson now, and it can be hard to see how this is supporting you, know that in time it will make itself clear.
This way we can stop being a victim to our external circumstances and start being the victor!
#8: DANCE LIKE NOONE IS WATCHING
I mean this both literally and figuratively! Dance naked in the bathroom mirror with your top songs of 2021 blasting out! HAVE SOME FREAKIN FUN!
I started back up at dance classes this year, and honestly, it was some of the most fun I have had in years. Being a free spirit, learning something new, being a kid all over again… sometimes getting frustrated for getting it wrong, but always ending up laughing at myself because no-one but me really cared!
But the lesson it truly taught me, was just to show up authentically as myself. Wrong or right dance moves, enjoy the moment, release the stuck energy, and clear your mind of all that is no longer serving you!
You will never get this moment back, make the most of it!
#9: PROTECT YOUR ENERGY
A question to ask yourself as you conclude this year… who or what is draining my energy?
Now I say that with kindness, because it may be hard to realise some of those close to you are actually energy vampires! The people that actually leave you feeling more exhausted than before you saw them.
Or maybe, you realise that some tasks or your work is just not what you want to be doing anymore. Or maybe it is just that you need to get clearer on your boundaries moving into 2022!
Your energy is your number one currency, you don’t want to be trading that freely with anyone or anything. It is important to be there for others, yes! But it is also important to take care of you! After all, you cannot give from an empty cup!
#10: LIVE IN A STATE OF GRATITUDE
Fear cannot exist when you are in a state of gratitude! (Read that again!)
After the last years we have had, it is understandable to be fearful about what is happening or what is going to happen in the future! The number one thing we can do to shift out of that fear is to practice gratitude.
Acknowledge your fears yes, but we don’t need to live in them or dwell on them, instead open your eyes and your mind to all the things around you that you have to be grateful for… the fact you can even read this blog is a gift in itself!
If you feel like your mindset needs a reset, practice gratitude every day, just write 3 things down or say them outloud and notice the internal shift it makes (even the science backs me up on this).
BONUS LESSON
#11: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
As someone who LOVES hearing words, and speaks my mind and feelings so freely and deeply, I always trusted and listened when people spoke… took their words at face value.
Now I am not saying this is wrong, however I was leading myself blindly, not looking to see if their actions followed, and continued to get myself hurt. Whether this was in relationships or work, I was doing it to myself time and time again.
I also had to take a hard look in the mirror (the mirror of life) and see that I was guilty of doing the same. Often so unintentionally, but still… It helped me see things a lot more clearly and start taking more action that I had before!
So, I don’t issue this as a warning, but more of a reflection, see who in your life you might feel let down by and see if you can communicate that to remedy it if that is what you want, but also look at yourself and how you can improve to follow through with your actions. It helps build trust not only with others, but within yourself!
------------
I hope that there is something within these lessons that resonates with you, they come from my heart and are expressed with love, vulnerability and truth. I wish you every happiness in the years to come, and may 2022 hold every blessing you could imagine and more!
With love,
Sheree xo

5 Simple Steps To Loving Yourself More
5 SIMPLE STEPS TO LOVING YOURSELF MORE
24 / NOVEMBER / 2021
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Self-love, honestly, to me, used to be a giant fluff word… do these things to feel self-love, repeat your affirmations (blah, blah, blah) was literally all that was going on in my head.
I told myself that I loved myself, but in reality, I never truly believed it.
That reality was harsh to discover this year. I thought after overcoming my eating disorder, then I loved myself. Yet I still looked in the mirror and saw all the things that were still wrong with me (or found a bunch of new things, as we do).
My self-love journey I can now see was and has always been a work in progress, and I continue to work on it to this day, but through this year having experienced coaching for extra support, reading plenty of personal development books, taken courses and supported clients… it has been beyond belief at what I have learnt about myself and the self-love work.
BREAKING IT DOWN
Let’s take any goal for instance, if you believe in yourself that you can do it, science shows you are far more likely to achieve it. However, if you don’t believe in yourself and constantly put yourself down, or doubt yourself, the likelihood of you achieving said goal gets lower and lower.
That makes sense right… but what does that have to do with self-love?
Well, let’s take the goal of weight loss, you look in the mirror and tell yourself all the nasty things (you’re fat, you’re disgusting, how can anyone love you when you look like that, how could you let yourself get this way… the list goes on).
So from this place of negativity, you make the decision that you are going to lose some weight to feel better about yourself. So, you start exercising more regularly, eating better, but the mind is clever…
It will see that your hard work isn’t instant, and you will keep feeling frustrated when the results don’t start taking shape in a week or so, AND your brain will start playing tricks on you.
You see, our subconscious mind is programmed to look for evidence of the things we believe and the stories we tell ourselves. So if your core belief or story is that you are fat and you need to lose weight, your brain will keep looking for how you are still fat and still need to lose weight (hence why eating disorders are largely to do with mental health).
You are also taking action from a place of hatred, disgust or as a punishment, and again, the science shows this does not create long term change. We end up feeling defeated far sooner and give up a lot quicker and dive back into old habits, because you are essentially telling yourself you are not good enough the way you are so you must stick to ‘this diet’... and when you don’t, well I don’t have to tell you the rest of the story!
So, what can you do about it? I’ve got some simple steps below that will help you get to a much happier place within yourself and begin to love yourself for YOU! The gorgeous human being that the Universe only created ONE of!
HERE WE GO...
Awareness
Firstly, you need to be aware of your thoughts, how you talk to yourself, what stories you buy into on a regular basis about yourself. We repeat the same 80-90% of our thoughts on the daily, so take the time this week to bring attention to what they might be, I often get clients to write them down.
Take note of how you react to your reflection or when someone gives you a compliment… Awareness is the first step to creating long-term change.
Belief Work
Now that you have identified your thoughts, stories, how you receive compliments etc… It is time to work them at a subconscious level. This means, taking the time to go back into your past and reprogram these patterns that you picked up when you were younger.
This is not a step I recommend doing on your own, I recommend getting a highly trained coach in this area (like myself) or if there is deeper trauma seeing a therapist. This truly is the work that will set you free… I am a living example of it!
Forgiveness
Once you have done the belief work and are feeling lighter from your thoughts and subconscious programming, you are going to want to get to a place of acceptance with your body, yourself, wherever you are at… this is where forgiveness comes in!
We so often judge ourselves so harshly, for all we have thought, been, done in the past and this can be one of the biggest things that holds you back from moving forward and being in a place of true acceptance for all that you are!
Write a letter of forgiveness to yourself, for all the judgements, mistakes etc and truly mean it. You did the best you knew how to at the time, it is time to move forward now, from a place of love.
High 5 Habit
The beautiful @melrobbins wrote an amazing book this year called The High 5 Habit (please do give it a read if you want to go deeper on this)... this is probably THE MOST SIMPLE thing you can do, and has an AMAZING impact on your psychology and love of self!
It is really as simple as high-fiving yourself every morning in the mirror. You don’t have to say anything, do anything differently, this simple action is powerful at reshaping the way you look at yourself for good. Don’t believe me… try the High 5 Habit - 5 Day Challenge - IT WORKS!!
Self-care
Self-care is not a luxury, it is a NECESSITY!! I cannot tell you how many women tell me they don’t have time for self-care… honey, if you don’t make time, you are going to burnout and be useless to all those around you that are so used to you taking care of them!
I say this all the time, but it is worth repeating! You cannot give from an empty cup, instead we must learn to give from the overflow!
It doesn’t have to be a massage every week, or hours at the gym (although it might be), it gets to be whatever you want it to be, try taking just 5 minutes out of your day just for you… that is showing yourself that you are WORTH that time and love. It is transformative for your health on so many levels!
Remember at the end of the day, all of these tips are here to support you, as am I! If you are really struggling with self-love, it truly might be time to invest in a coach or get extra support. My DM’s and inbox are always open! Feel free to reach out at any time <3

My Journey To Self Love
MY JOURNEY TO SELF LOVE
11 / 08 / 2021
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO YOU…
But I spent most of my life not feeling good enough, worthy enough, pretty enough
I used to look in the mirror and hate what I saw, beat myself up for the acne on my face, the thickness of my thighs, the dark circles under my eyes
I used to talk down to myself for not getting the best grades everytime, winning the awards or getting acknowledged for my efforts.
Because if there was no acknowledgement that means I mustn’t have been good enough to be acknowledged.
THE TRUTH
To me attention was the form of love I was seeking, and lead me down the path of my eating disorder
If I was skinny enough, then people would like me, maybe even love me…
If I was achieving more academically, or in life then maybe my dad would take more of an interest in me
If I was stronger, more sporty, and more confident, maybe I would attract a guy that would want to be with me
I placed my self-worth in the hands of everyone around me, and gave my power away, and it led me down a dark battle with my mental health (a story I hope to feel confident to share one day).
This constant lack of belief in my worth followed me everywhere I went. In some ways it was a powerful motivator to be better, to strive to achieve more. I can see now how the belief that ‘I am not good enough’ was trying to serve me… But man, it was not the best way to go about it.
In believing that I needed others' love and approval to be worthy, it meant that I could never be happy within myself, I had to keep pushing myself to the point of extremes and my all or nothing mindset was consuming.
I began thinking I was either a complete success (which didn’t last long) or an utter failure. You see that’s the thing in giving your power away and relying on those around you for approval and love… what can be given can just as quickly be taken away.
Not only that, but it doesn’t run as deep, it’s short lived and before you know it, you are back in the same cycle repeating the same patterns that drive you to seek external validation from others.
PATH TO SELF LOVE
It wasn’t until I actively sought out the help of a coach, started doing the inner work (mindset, emotional, reprogramming limiting beliefs etc), that things really started to shift.
I learnt techniques that went beyond daily affirmations, and started to give myself the love that I needed, that my inner child had needed, I began doing mirror work, deep journaling practices, reiki healing sessions, meditations, self-reflection as tools to help free myself from the cycle that I had trapped myself in.
Using these tools, alongside coaching and establishing a deeper self-awareness I was able to start to see the truths… that I was enough. In fact, I was enough simply because I was alive.
That there was only one of me on this planet, and only one person in this world with my unique gifts, just like there is only one of you with your unique gifts.
No matter our background, ethnicity, gender identity or job, we all have a role here on this planet, and we all are inherently worthy of being here.
It has taken me YEARS of doing the inner work, becoming more aware of my patterns, negative self-talk, deepening my consciousness to really truly believe this, and I am so happy to be in a much better place.
But the work, and the journey is never over. That is why it is called a journey… unfortunately we don’t just wake up one day and love all parts of us always. Our limits are always going to be tested, as we are always meant to be growing, but the way you do it along the way can either be from a place of hatred and negativity, or from a place of love and compassion.
From a 13 year old girl who used to cry at the bumps on her face and the thickness of her thighs, to a woman who still strives to have more toning in her legs and clear skin, but is at complete ACCEPTANCE for where she is currently at… that is the difference. That is love… being able to accept yourself, ALL of you, for ALL that you are, flaws and all.
If this resonates, and you feel like you are struggling, please know that you are not alone, you are inherently worthy, and that support is everywhere… reach out to a coach for support, or a therapist, or if you just want someone to talk to, I am here… DM me on instagram @strengthen.heal.nourish or email me: sheree@shereehannahwellness.com my inbox is always open!
