Today’s C is for CREATE, by Jasmine Hemsley

‘Create - the ultimate C word! Which we must do since 'the only constant is change!' This is where we remind ourselves as humans (and even more so as women) that we are Creators. This is when we become Conscious (another brilliant C word) of ourselves mentally, spiritually and physically - get to know ourselves inside and out by slowing down and tuning in, we come back to the present moment and our own inner wisdom and deep intuition to bring balance, solve problems and create our future. And if this isn't doing it for you, I highly recommend Chanting - good for the rhythm, the sound therapy vibrations, the breathwork and to reduce the noise in your head. Just make up a tune to an affirmation that works for you in that moment and repeat again and again with a smile (fake it until you make it) - commit to it until you relax and it comes easily for example: I am wild, I am free and I love me!!!
