The concept of “self-love” is one we seem to be hearing more and more about these days. We live in a society where we are forced to constantly compare ourselves to others, strive for perfection and maintain the optimum work-life-social balance. Perhaps this is why it can be easy to forget to take time out for yourself. 

Read on to see our thoughts on how you can simply and effectively practise self-love: 

1: Surround yourself with the people and things you love – it might be a good chat with your best friend, a long cuddle with a pet or even just losing yourself in a good book. It is essential for your wellbeing to spend time around the things that make you happy at least once a week. No matter how busy your schedule gets, take time out.
 
2: Be kind to your body – achieving physical wellness can often feel a little overwhelming when balancing diet and exercise is easier said than done. Simplify things for yourself and take tiny steps – aim to drink more water, pick up a weekly yoga class or swap the takeaway for a healthier home cooked meal. The small changes we make can add up to making a huge difference.
 
3: Practice mindfulness – we may think mindfulness and meditation mean long hours sitting eyes-closed and cross-legged on the floor, but it doesn’t have to be. Simply taking 10 minutes to think of ten positive things about yourself while you’re in the shower or doing your hair can be a great boost towards loving yourself and all your amazing qualities.

4: Stop comparing  – the grass is always greener. Remember that we are all on our own journey, and while other people’s achievements may look more impressive, your own accomplishments deserve just as much recognition, so celebrate them!
 
5: Book yourself on a retreat – a wellness-focused holiday is a great way to escape the pressures of everyday life and focus on no one else but yourself. Reacquaint yourself with your mind and body,  relax in beautiful surroundings and remind yourself why you deserve it.

​5 FEARS PEOPLE FACE WHEN BOOKING A RETREAT

When planning your getaway this year, it might not have been your first thought to consider booking a transforming stay at a wellness retreat. Perhaps you’re wondering who they are for, how much prior knowledge you’ll need or who you’ll go with. In reality, wellness retreats are a fantastic option for absolutely everyone wanting to relax and gain something valuable from their trip away.

Move with Us retreats offer unforgettable experiences for both your mind and your body; transforming perspectives and giving incredible adventures in beautiful surroundings. Here, they share 5 fears people face when booking a retreat and why you don’t need to worry before planning your stay.

1. Going alone – it might seem a little overwhelming to those of us who are used to holidaying with friends and family, but a lot of people see more benefit from retreats by going alone. Get to know your inner self once more, become confident in your own company and give yourself an opportunity to meet new like-minded people.

2. Lacking experience – it’s a common misconception that you’ll need to be familiar with meditation or yoga to enjoy a wellness retreat. This simply isn’t true! Move with Us Retreats welcome visitors of all abilities, from total beginners to the pro’s, everyone will be accounted for.

3. Feeling unfit – there’s no need to worry if you don’t feel in your best shape. A retreat is the perfect opportunity to take the first step in improving your physical wellness. Taking time out to discover what you love about your body and what you’d like to gain could be the beginning you need.

4. A fear of switching off – jobs, emails and errands easily pile up on a day to day basis and the thought of throwing away your to-do list might be scary. But taking a step back, switching off and forgetting your daily stresses is an essential step towards self-love and growth that will benefit all areas of your life.

5. Will I get bored? – Absolutely not. Retreats offer you the opportunity to tailor your getaway exactly to your needs and interests. Decide for yourself what activities you get up to and how much or little you do of them. Surrounded by breath-taking scenery, beautiful accommodation and life-changing experiences, there is always something new to immerse yourself in.

But before you slip straight back into your old ways, try these tips to stay motivated all throughout the year and keeping loving and caring for yourself in the way you should!

Here are  5 ways to keep your good habits well into 2020.

1. Write down your original reasons – this will keep you constantly reminded of how you felt in that moment and why you decided to make the changes in the first place.

2. Record and track your progress – take photos and see how far you've already come. Changes can be hard to identify and can even be missed when they are consistent. We tend to convince ourselves it’s of no benefit or it simply is not working, but there’s often physical proof.

3. Set achievable and attainable goals – S.M.A.R.T goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-based. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Start small and work your way up to something bigger – this will keep you motivated and regularly jumping over smaller hurdles.

4. Reset your mindset – being on this journey is more about having the right mindset before anything. It’s a marathon, not a sprint and this is not a quick fix it is a lifestyle change. If you have the right mindset you will achieve your goals.

5. Book yourself on a retreat – a wellness-focused holiday is a great way to get you excited about your lifestyle changes and give you a reward for all your efforts. Give yourself a goal to work towards and see if you can keep it up until you go on your trip.

Wellness, as a concept, is becoming increasingly more important, and it’s a trend that’s expected to continue. So, what does the new year have in store?
​
As we learn more about our needs and the importance of self-investment, increasing numbers of health-focused services are coming into existence.

Here are our thoughts on 5 wellness trends for 2020.

1. Experiential wellness – wellness is not just an appointment anymore. It’s an event, an experience, and something that you want to do. Fitness, beauty and wellness services are all on the move; bringing the individual out of their comfort zone, both metaphorically and literally.

2. RnR – as simple as it may be, sleep is one of the most common barriers to living a healthy and productive life. Stress, poor habits and increased work pressures are limiting the time we’re spending getting our ZZZ’s, leading to a surge in products and services to counter this.

3. Emotional wellness – emotional wellness will be one of the biggest focuses of 2020. The ability to express yourself and acknowledge your feelings is a huge contributor to positive emotional and mental health.

People have always travelled for health and rejuvenation. But many people still wonder, “what are the benefits to choosing a retreat over a traditional holiday?”

The Global Wellness Institute recently reported that the self-care tourism is the world's fastest-growing travel sector – so there’s got to be something great about it, right?

Our specially curated retreats offer unforgettable experiences for both your mind and your body; transforming perspectives and giving incredible adventures in beautiful surroundings.

Today, we’re sharing 5 benefits of a wellness escape.

1. Disconnect – as the word ‘retreat’ suggests, you’ll be withdrawing from the stresses and distractions of everyday life. Give yourself the space to shift your focus to the smaller things and improve your physical and mental health.

2. Support – our professional, experienced teams will support and guide you in your efforts to reach your wellness goals. Whether you want to de-stress or lose some extra weight, they’ve got you covered.

3. Meet others – wellness retreats offer a great opportunity to meet and share your experiences with like-minded people. This also makes it easier to continue your health journey after the retreat, as doing activities with a friend encourages you to stick to your goals.

4. No planning needed – one way in which retreats help to facilitate rest and wellness is by taking all the stress out of regular holiday making. There’s no need to worry about things like commutes, reservations or scheduling – everything is taken care of.

5. Detox – at a retreat, you can detox yourself from non-nutritious foods in order to kickstart your health journey, but you’ll also have the opportunity to detox yourself from screens and the constant pressures of our smartphones.

If you’re ready to kickstart your journey to health and prosperity, learn more about our upcoming retreats today here and here. Our unique, holistic approach to wellness retreats aims to reset your mental habits, nervous system and thought processes to leave you feeling more confident about yourself, emotionally, and physically stronger.

When I was in Bali doing my yoga teacher training I used to walk wearing my flip flops around the retreat. One day I kicked them off and left them outside the yoga shala before I stared my ashtanga practice.  Two hours later when I'd returned they were gone. Starting to have what one would only call a 'hissy fit' I ran around the retreat shouting in my rather loud voice "somebody has taken my flip flops!!! I've lost my flip flops, has anyone seen my shoes?" My teacher Mark turned round to me and said "Jade, why on earth are you wearing shoes?! Did you know you should be walking around barefoot as much as you can?" 

"Why?" I answered. Earthing or grounding is the simple practice of making direct physical contact with the earth and absorbing the earths natural energies. Walking or making contact with the earth means that the earth can conduct its natural negative electrons through to our bodies so that we have the same electrical potential as the earth, therefore grounding our bodies and giving us physiological and electrophysiological benefits. These may include antioxidant effects, boosts of immunity and reduction of inflammation, just to name a few.

​

In addition to health and wellbeing benefits, grounding also helps to disrupt the effects of negative electromagnetic fields on our bodies (often originating from various electrical household appliances). Therefore, grounding restores our bodies to their most natural electrical state, promoting the body to work to its highest functionality. In order to ground yourself, all you need to do is walk around barefoot on grass, soil, gravel, sand, tiles, concrete or water. Although if you manage to walk on water, I'd be pretty impressed - be sure to get a photo of that lol!  Also the more you do it the better, so what are you waiting for?! Kick off those shoes and get walking, its the most fascinating, clever and free health kick you will ever give to your body!

So, you go to yoga once or twice a week and you're really starting to see the benefits and feel the change the only problem is....you just can't get enough! What next? Create a home yoga space so that you can practice anytime you like or maybe not? You just want to sit in quiet, think, reflect , meditate? Or maybe you just really want to nail that pose that you just can't quite seem to grip in class.
 
The little beauty that yoga is, means it can be practiced anywhere and anytime you like! No constraints, it can be practiced at home or outside with nature in a park, on a beach in a forest...the list goes on! All you need is a few basic poses or sun salutations and a mat. Put it all together and you're ready to go. Sounds easy right?! So why do we often find ourselves making excuses not to do so? The reality is that when we are left to our own devices, we often talk ourselves out of it and make excuses. Will power goes right out the window and more often than not, we think we need a teacher or instructor to 'push' us.
 
Therefore, the solution is....if you want to flow at home, you need to create a special home yoga place....simple!

I used to live in a house with a garden, in which I created a special home yoga place. Everyday I would just go on my mat, practice all different types of asana and just well...flow! I found myself learning all sorts of new poses....jheeez I stumbled into my first chin stand by accident lol! I transitioned from a plank to an arm balance and my legs just went straight up in the air and I thought wow i never knew i could do that! It was a great experience and I was literally over the moon! Following that, I moved into a flat without any outside space and nowhere with a space that I could really call "mine". It didn't take long for my self practice to suffer. I stopped playing and flowing and my practice felt like it became stagnant. Now i'm not saying don't live in a flat, but I am saying try and make a little space in that flat that's yours :) So...
 
WHAT IS A YOGA SPACE?!

It is a little space with a mat, where you can practice different asana, create flows (flowing from from one pose/asana to another), sit and do pranayama, or meditate. Or you can sit and read a book, write in a journal or just have some quiet 'me' time. You can sit and enjoy a cup of green tea (or any drink for that matter), or maybe create a mood board.
 
WHERE TO CREATE THE YOGA SPACE?!
 
Find a place at home that is relatively quiet, where no one will disturb you. If you have a garden and live somewhere warm, then outside is a lovely place. Amongst nature, fresh air, warm sun beating down on you. Maybe even with the fragrant smell of fresh flowers or freshly cut grass. I often like to walk barefoot on the grass, it's incredibly grounding - but hey, that's another blog entry entirely ;) Put it somewhere light, natural and airy, but most importantly, put it somewhere that feels right for you.
 
WHAT WILL YOU NEED?!
 
Well essentially, I don't mean to state the obvious here, but you will mainly need a yoga mat (lol). You may also want to add some little extras to make it perfect for you. Try adding yoga blocks, a yoga strap, bolsters, yoga pillows and a blanket. You might want to decorate your space with fairy lights, lanterns, scented candles, oil burners, essential oils, incense sticks, shells, flowers etc.
 
BUT most importantly....remember this is YOUR space and you can have it however, whatever and wherever  you desire!!!! Enjoy :)
