Let go of self-limitations by clearing the decks

Clear the decks.  It’s time for a Spring clean of your mind.  Get elbow-deep into the crevices of subconscious patterns of behaviour that are holding you back from being the rockstar you are.  Chuck out unhelpful emotional states stuffed under the bed that suffocate your joy and keep you awake at night.  Scour the cluttered cupboards of critical thoughts that keep you scared and small.  Sweep your red feather duster over self-limiting beliefs that disempower you and dull your shine.  Wipe the cobwebs of ruminating thoughts that distract you from your dreams and passions.

It is time to make space for new treasures to emerge in your life.  What are you ready to let go of now?  What will you make room for in your life today?

Make a deal with yourself to trade in old behavioural patterns that keep you stuck in the same boring rut, day in and day out. Make one radical change to one part of your life and see how easy it is to apply to others.  You could ditch one night of TV binge-watching for that 80s funk dance class you heard about. Dig up your glitter leg warmers, dab on some blue eyeshadow, and get your groove on.

Set your intention to say “Rack Off!” to judgy, self-limiting thoughts and beliefs that dredge up energy-sapping feelings of helplessness, anger or fear. What use are they to you now? Notice the self-bullying in other people and tell them to “run, not walk away”. Notice the inner critic in your own mind and give it a name. Every time you notice it, say, “Piss off Peggy-Sue!” Create space for the inner coach to raise you up and fill you with spirit.

Begin by decluttering your office desk, house and car of accumulated belongings.  Your environment really does reflect your inner world.  Look at relationships and decide how much energy you can expend on people who do not meet you halfway or use you selfishly for their own gain.  Let go of the toxicity that will make you sick and weak.  Reclaim that power today to be channelled towards the more essential things in your life.

• 🕯️ Energy Is Everything: Lighting the Way Together
  🕯️ Energy Is Everything: Lighting the Way Together This week’s focus from The Art of Wellness Toolkit has felt more relevant than ever. Tool #9: Energy is Everything reminds us that our energy speaks louder than words. In a world that often feels chaotic, unjust, or overwhelming, we may not be able to control events on the world stage—but we can influence the frequency we carry into our daily lives. And that matters. Fear is contagious. So is calm. Hatred spreads quickly. But so does compassion. When we choose to protect, clear, and channel our energy with intention, we become part of a quiet, global repair. Recent events, both locally and globally, have brought this into sharp focus. The tragedy at Bondi, the ongoing devastation in places like Gaza and Ukraine, and the deep wounds held in marginalised communities around the world all add weight to the field we share. These events fray the fabric of our collective consciousness—and yet, we are all threads in that same fabric. Fear, violence, and separation may unravel our shared humanity. But each of us is also a strand of light, of repair, of wholeness. And when we remember that, we can help reweave something stronger. I want to acknowledge all those who are suffering right now—across cultures, borders, beliefs, and generations. I am sending love and light to every being experiencing grief, fear, or displacement. This is not about spiritual bypassing or ignoring injustice. It’s about choosing, again and again, to return to the values that bind us together: Peace. Dignity. Safety. Compassion. Connection. This week, I invite you into a quiet act of solidarity and presence. A simple, powerful ritual. Light a candle for peace. Do it alone, with your family, with your children, or with your community. As you light the flame, place your hands on your heart and say—aloud or silently: “May peace begin with me. May love ripple outward. May all beings be safe, seen, and free.” If you feel called, send me a photo of your candle. Or just reply and let me know you’re standing with me in this intention. Together, we can form an invisible circle—a web of peaceful presence that transcends borders, identities, and labels. No matter how we identify—culturally, spiritually, politically—we are all of this Earth. Every breath comes from the same sky. Every heartbeat depends on peace. The future we’re building will only thrive if we choose understanding over fear, and connection over comparison. So this is the practice now. To stay open-hearted even when the world hurts. To keep lighting candles when the news grows dark. To believe in a peace that starts small—but travels far. If you need support holding your own energy steady, I’ve created a collection of free practices for nervous system regulation, emotional recalibration, and soul-tending. You can explore them here: 🌿 wellnessarts.com.au/free-resources Let’s light the way together. Let’s be people who honour the pain—without becoming it. Let’s be a wave of peace in the chaos. With tenderness and hope,

If you’ve been longing to slow down and let go, this is your gentle invitation to breathe, reset, and reclaim your rhythm.
