Happy Habits with Selin

Give yourself the gift of a 15 minute singing meditation to ground yourself and re-connect to light and yourself. 

You are a beautiful tree with unique talents & gifts. A tree that grows, sheds layers, loses leaves and grows new ones. Sometimes you might be so stuck in your trunk and the thoughts circle you inward - making it feel like there is no way out or up. Being so stuck in our head often makes us forget how deep the roots of our tree can go into the ground and connect us to the Earth. We forget that we can trust ourselves and this life and that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. Remember your roots. Remember that your tree has been planted on this Earth for a reason. Feel grounded & rooted.

Sometimes our tree feels like it is dying, slowly rotting. There are no new leaves growing, we seem to be stuck. We make ourselves smaller than we actually are. Allow yourself to reach up again - connect to the light or something higher. Connect upwards to the joy of life, the growth, the possibilities. There are endless possibilities. There is already abundance around you. Reach up and allow yourself to see. Feel connected to light.

Take a 15 min break to make a system update of your thoughts & emotions. You might be very motivated in the morning, but through different influences and work tasks throughout the day - you might feel tired, unmotivated, maybe even frustrated. Gift yourself this break and distance yourself from thoughts and emotions that don't serve you right now. Feel yourself becoming lighter by letting go and creating space for inviting in a different perspective.

Hello beautiful human being. 

in this week's podcast episode you get to meet the passionate Debora who is a vegan chef, psychologist and holistic health & nutrition counsellor. I had the pleasure to co-create several retreats with Debora and love how she inspires people to start on their plant-based journey by showing that vegan food can be tasty, easy to prepare and does not equal missing out on taste. In our conversation we touch on: 

• Debora's life journey and what contributed to where she is today
• how she got diagnosed with thrombocytopenia (platelat deficiency) as a child and the impact this has on her journey
• how you can take your health into your own hands
• tips on how to start eating a more healthy diet and what could help you eat more plant-based
• what you can expect when coming to one of our retreats and what makes them special
• our experiences in our first year of business and what we would recommend business starters
• our common challenge of navigating perfectionism and what helps us through it 

Let us know what you could take away from this conversation!

Do you often find yourself mindlessly scrolling or grabbing your phone when you don't want to sit in your discomfort or with boredom? In this episode I share my experience with Social Media, the positive effects on my mental health and focus during my Social Media detox and 3 steps how you can reflect with me to engage more consciously with Social Media:

1) Take an inventory of your Social Media use: How often do you go on Social Media? How much time do you spend on it? What do you use it for? Why do you use it in that moment in time?

2) Assess the impact on your life: What emotions are you feeling when you engage on Social Media or after having been on it? How does Social Media shape your world-view? Are you putting pressure on yourself with Social Media?

3) As you have created space and awareness - now it's time to re-evaluate your use of these apps and consciously decide how much time you want to spend on them. You get to find methods that work for you to train your mind and focus on these platforms. 

Let me know what you could take from this episode. I would also love to know your strategies for limiting your phone / Social Media time. 

Have a beautiful day,

Selin

Have you ever doubted yourself and had the following thoughts cross your mind - Who am I to teach others? Who am I to charge this price? Or have you ever felt like you don't know enough and should get more certifications before you are ready?

Join in on this short reflection on self-love asking yourself:

• When do you deem yourself worthy of self-love?
• Are you tying self-love to achievement? 
• Do you only love and accept yourself when you are upbeat, inspired and happy?
• Are you waiting for a day to finally be able to love yourself?

The first step to moving towards more self-love is always asking yourself questions to take a snapshot of your current situation and questioning the rules that you impose on yourself. By imposing these rules you might create a lot of internal pressure of "never enough" to love and accept yourself. Maybe it's time to set yourself free from this pressure and allow yourself to fly high - not on achievement, but on life satisfaction.

At the end of this short episode we will do a short meditation helping you to lovingly embrace your emotions and whatever is present in your internal world. 

I would love to hear from you!

Welcome to this episode on how to learn to work with your own energy and the energy of other people. If you often take on negative energy and try to bring more harmony to a situation - this episode is for you. You will learn more about the following tips that can help you to stay more connected to yourself and not suck in negative energy:

• Start seeing the world as a network of energy. Every person is constantly sending and receiving energy and signals from others. 
• Take time to check in with yourself, to get to know your internal world more and take responsibility for the energy that you send out.
• Get curious about WHY other people are sending this energy - what is behind it? 
• Develop more compassion for others by seeing their life wounds and the hurt little child within them.
• Create space to create boundaries between your energy and the energy of others.
• Drop the need to create harmony at all times. It is ok to stay in discomfort. 

Let me know what helps you work with people and situations that are filled with negative energy. I would love to hear from you: selin.leuch@gmail.com or on IG @selinleuch

This episode celebrates the 1-year anniversary of my business Happy Habits with Selin and I am sharing with you 3 tips that helped me on my business journey: 

1. Get into doing mode instead of thinking about perfection. Start doing now and allow yourself to fail.
2. Out-grow yourself and your limiting beliefs. Your business is only ever as successful as you invest in your personal growth.
3. Get business/marketing know-how and then listen to your own inner compass to find your path.
