Working as a Kinesiologist and holistic practitioner Alison Filihia believes that the body has a perfect design and has built in tools to maintain perfect health and happiness, given the right, support and conditions. Plenty of rest, good nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight, happy relationships, love, laughter and doing things that make you feel good.

It seems logical right? So, why don’t so many people do it?

Sometimes life can get in the way. Stress, pressures and responsibilities can appear and pile up. Life changing events can happen out of the blue. Over time your body can be pulled way out of balance and start to show signs that it’s struggling to cope.

If you are interested in how your body is speaking to you, check out Alison’s recent video.

The pressure to say “Yes” when you should say “No”, feeling guilty or selfish if you don’t help or let people down and the high expectations we put on ourselves can get way out of control…..until we crash and burn, get sick or something happens to make us stop.

Lets face it, many people have to wait till they are really sick, in pain or our car breaks down to have a decent excuse to slow down, say “no” and put themselves first. You may have even told a little “white lie” sometimes instead of saying “No, sorry I can’t come or help this time”.

So why is this? Why does self care and the thought of making yourself a bigger priority feel like a luxury and not a necessity?

In her clinic Alison hears many “reasonable excuses” why people don’t, won’t or can’t make themselves a priority or take better care of themselves, such as:

If they are happy and coping, then I can be happy and do what I need to do, so I have to wait until then.

• Saying “No” to someone would be selfish and I hate selfish people;
• I hate letting people down and causing them to feel bad, I would feel so guilty;
• It’s easier if I just do it because I just don’t like conflict and arguments; or
• People would think I was lazy and not pulling my weight if I rested more or took time out.

Over time, these underlying beliefs that have been formed, often way back in childhood, can get way out of balance and can make you feel tired, burnt out, overwhelmed, angry and frustrated. As little children we want our mums and dads to be happy and often take on the responsibility of that.

But life is about balance and being able give and receive equally from an unconditionally loving place. When your body, heart and soul start to feel like you are listening and taking action, then it no longer needs to scream louder and your body can do what it needs to do to restore its health and wellbeing.

By clearing and dissolving these underlying beliefs you automatically start to feel free to love, nurture yourself and to Bloom.
