The Journey to Wellbeing

Welcome to the Blossom Leaf Wellbeing Blog page, where I hope you find inspiration, tools and practices to enable you to live your best wellbeing life!

Life recently has taught us to slow down and go inwards so what does this mean and what is wellbeing? It looks different for everyone and is much more than a soak in a hot bath at the end of the day or a walk in the fresh air at the weekend. Wellbeing is regular practices and routines that provide a holistic balance of the mind and body.

Our mind map below shows what we consider to be important components to overall wellbeing.

Here are some daily practices which can enable us to meet these requirements.

Journaling - Getting those whirring thoughts out of our head and on to paper, this can be assisted by journaling prompts, reflecting at the end of the day or setting intentions for the day/week/month ahead.

Solitude - Being happy to be with our own thoughts isn’t always easy but spending time in solitude gives us time to reflect on whether we have shown up as the best version of ourselves or met intentions we previously set. These time can also help when planning for those times when we know we need to be on our ‘A’ game or just making mind space for the interactions with those we spend time with.

Movement - Finding any form of movement/exercise that we enjoy is important, this helps to remove stale blocked energy and stimulate the body to produce the feel good endorphins which give us that happy buzz .

Nutrition - Listening to want your body needs, this doesn’t mean restricting yourself but does mean filling your body with a wide range of high vibe food full of vitamins and minerals so your body and mind can work at it’s best as well as eating that big slice of cake when you want it!

Meditation - With practice this gets easier, and once the mind has started to slow down we have the awareness to listen to our intuition much more and respond to life events as opposed to reacting.

Finding our passion - This often leads us to our purpose, those things we love we are meant to share with others. When we follow our passion we find motivation, direction and a sense of fulfilment.

Wellbeing is a journey with no end, something that can have ups and downs but ultimately should support us to feel and be the best we can be.
