Being Well With Lauren

Episode 28 Who am I self awareness and getting stuff done In this podcast episode as part of our ‘great apple pie stop procrastinating series’ we explore how we self-realise or in other words how we get to know our authentic self away from the madding crowds. After all we are not our names, we are not our friends, we are not the cars we drive, or the clothes we wear. We are not who others tell us we are...we define ourselves. No one can do that for us. In the silence through  meditation and self reflection we can realise what gives us our own mojo; our sense of who we inherently are...and what behaviours make us feel that sense of timeless contentment..that sense of quiet purpose...and place a Mona Lisa smile upon our faces. It is only when we start to discover our true self that we can learn to stop procrastinating and face up to who we are, what we want, and how to achieve our purpose.   I also answer Davids letter... "Wasn't sure if we were to share our life moments on our self-discovery. Yet found the hom

Episode 26 of the great apple pie stop procrastinating challenge Fighting procrastination is never just about putting away the coffee cup of life. Simple acts are always about larger more profound beliefs.  It is about having the guts to look into the mirror and see who we really are. Procrastination is about fear of success...it is about facing the fears head on..this is a confronting process and it is sometimes just plain hard...but that is ok.... procrastination is also about being positive in the process. ..Having love in the process...It’s about looking at life head on...with perspective..but also with kindness If you want to change simple behaviours we need to keep front of mind that procrastination is about avoiding doing the real meaty stuff that you should be doing that we should be doing to be the best me that we could be..it is never simply about not putting away the coffee cup...it is about the symbolism behind the coffee cups..what is the symbolism behind your coffee cups? So Homework... 1. Keep

Episode 25 Hi Lauren here...This is part of the Great apple pie 14 day stop procrastinating challenge which officially starts Monday...in three days. Who decides that we are procrastinating? We do!   ...After all.... you define yourself ...You decide that you are procrastinating...You decide that you are not doing the stuff that you need to do. Ask yourself... Who are you? What are your values? What do you need? What defines you. This is about you knowing yourself. Getting to know yourself requires quality reflection, creating emotional, and physical space to self realise. I want you to take the time away from all distractions and sit down and reflect and meditate on who you inherently are. You are who you decide to be...we can get clogged up with other people stories...emotional layers of the past...of relationships or experiences which you choose to put on. I want you to realise that when you do not take the time to get to know yourself you are procrastinating Don't put off being the person now that you

  In episode 20 in response to Tara’s letter- THANK YOU TARA for writing in-  I podcast about the precarious balance between achieving a sense of self and giving TO a relationship and compromising FOR a relationship. I talk about the who, when, where, and how of a happy relationship. I also talk about the three vital relationships within a relationship. We each play a role with our community as part of that community but in order to play that role we need to first know who we are.   My name is Lauren.

Do you eat well? Are you fit? Do you take care of your body ? So many of you have asked why I do natural bodybuilding and how I stay so fit and what I eat. I will do several podcasts on this topic but I will start today with my personal story. At times this story...my story is not a happy story...so it may not be a podcast for you...but be encouraged my friend.. the story has a happy ending. It is a story about how we each have the inner strength to be resilient and achieve goals...and ultimately realise who we are. It is a story about the importance of looking after our body to care for our soul. We each have our own stories of challenging times. This is part of mine. Take care of yourselves my dear friends and be well.   My name is Lauren. I am a writer, life coach, meditation/yoga teacher, & proud mum of four.

Do you have trouble sleeping? You do? Well this podcast is for you. This podcast is about how to fall asleep and how to create a sleep ritual which can help you to fall asleep. This is the second part of my answer to dear Naomi’s questions on anxiety and sleep( Thanks Naomi)...again this is a huge topic..so let’s together take little bites of this apple and develop ourselves step by step. I am going to do more on this important topic. Please keep those requests coming. ( I love every one)And remember to create mindful and physical space for sleep...it is in the silence of space that our true authentic self lies...and it is when we realise our true self that we can truly love others.   My name is Lauren.

Hi everyone- today I explore how to cope with anxiety care/of Naomi's letter( Thanks for writing in Naomi) My goodness me this is a big topic...so I thought that I would take it one step at a time. Today we explore mind mapping and we delve a little into the areas of meditation, our internal self talk, decluttering, life editing, and the art of noticing. I would really like to follow on from this and explore anxiety further so please send in those letters...I am waiting with baited breathe. And in the meantime take care be well sleep soundly and don't sweat the small stuff x...Happiness is always always in the simple moments. Lauren   My name is Lauren.

In episode 12 I ask you for your input on how to structure the podcast moving forward. I suggest that we perhaps devote an episode purely to meditation, an episode purely to cuppa-side chatting and an episode to interviewing in this way you can more easily go back to your favorite meditations. What do you think?   I then explore the how and what of being well. I refer to my fitness group 'remarkableme' and their progress and I explore what is being well and how we can realistically achieve wellness in today's fast paced convenience based existence. Today many of us look for the silver bullet or the easy ‘one stop’ answer to wellness. Perhaps wellness is not an easy answer but instead a balanced evolving process requiring engagement, self kindness, and acceptance. What do you think?   I finish with a little meditation affirming our wellness.   Thank you so much to all of you. I have started a ramshackle web site. It is my own creation so pretty make shift at this stage but with time it will develop like all my

I have been unwell for several days ...quite sick in bed with a cluster of migraines, nausea, and some very real significant sadness - I made a promise to myself before I started my podcasts that I would upload podcasts through ‘the rain hail and shine of my life’ so today we have a talk about sadness and light with a prayer. I am still a little unwell as I podcast but I wanted to present to you in the raw moment as I feel right now so that the moment is authentic and our sharing is more experiential. I have been sad and I talk of this sadness and I ask you about your sadness and I talk of the world's sadness. And then we come full circle back to perspective but owning the right to our own feelings within that global perspective. This owning of our feelings gives us opportunity to grow in wisdom, empathy and love.   Life is a journey and sometimes we fall and the fall may brings pain loss and perhaps heartache but at our feet there are always new flowers breaking through the earth and perhaps God brought the

In episode ten Lauren speaks about how she has noticed the increased levels of stress since she arrived back from holiday and reviews this as a stark contrast to the relaxing experience of her holiday. Lauren then explores the origin of this stress and detaches from this stress. Lauren uses the metaphor of standing on a highway with cars rushing past to look at how we can feel at times crowded and suffocated by the 'busyness' of our life. Sometimes it is the very way we choose to live our life which can take away from the quality of our lives. Lauren explores decluttering, life editing, and emotional clearing. Lauren recommends the Ted talk with Graham Hill who also runs the group ‘Life edited’. Lauren then continues to present a visualisation type meditation exploring decluttering and making room for happiness. Please email laurenostrowskifenton@gmail.com with any requests. Lauren Ostrowski Fenton thanks her listeners and invites requests.
