Bobbi McDougall Coaching & Self-Discovery

What is your baseline emotion? Like, how do you want to feel day after day? Not too high, not too low? I personally strive for the embodied feeling of contentment and ease. I choose to wake up and be me everyday. Some days are easier than others, but I consciously choose to view the world from a lens of optimism, hope, and love.... Yes, of course I have down days, but the re-wiring of my brain (over time) allows me to catch myself in low moments of struggle. I surrender into awareness for what is, returning back to compassion for myself. Which leaves space for me to choose/crave a different outcome. It’s all about how you want to feel. How you think you deserve to feel. Giving yourself permission to feel. You can consciously transform your mindset, into a lifestyle. It will take dedication, honesty, truth, raw emotion, compassion, and kindness, among other things; humbling whole acceptance. Contentment, is always within your reach. Want to chat?

Of course you know who my Valentine is But I’m here to remind you to PAHLEESZEE be your own Valentine first. If you want the flowers, order em ... If you want breaky in bed, cook it If you want chocolate, go get it If you want that jewelry, swipe it If you want touch, self-massage If you want appreciation, write yourself a love letter Find out what your top 2 love languages are, and show yourself how you want to be loved before you expect anyone to know how. It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Be your own Valentine first. You are so whole, and don’t need anyone to complete you. Self-love first, Always. Period. Happy V-day lovelies

How long is too long... This thought comes up for me quite often; how long are people willing to feel/stay unaware and uneasy? Small thought, big concept. ... Emotional intelligence plays a big role here. If you can name the feeling that’s the first step. Some of these feelings right now could be: frustration, overwhelm, indifferent, sad, angry, fearful. Some of us have been tapped out for so long that we couldn’t name a feeling behind the heaviness if we triedand that’s ok for now.... The next step is the hard partthe feeling it part. And when we as a society have been trained to numb out from feeling anything, or worse bi-pass feeling uncomfortable, we try to skip to the release it stage. We invalidate how we are feelingfamous last words; but I’m so lucky compared to others... or I really shouldn’t feel (blank), I’m so grateful.... sound familiar?! Feelings are meant to be felt. So what happens now if we don’t feel? Short answerwe stay stuck in our own reality, convinced that it is our normal to be overwhelmed, full of anxiety, avoiding conflict/feelings, and sadly the cycle continues. I’ve lived this life, and I’ve watched many family members do the same. I’ve decided that the cycle ends here for me. I choose myself over everything. I choose to create strong boundaries between where I start and others begin. I choose to make space/time to go through the layers of my emotions. This is where the healing process begins. This is where new neuropathways begin to light up your path home. There is no quick fix. Frankly, you don’t need fixing. We are all SO whole, even when we don’t feel like it. See yourself healing. So I ask you to take some inventory, on where your are at today, and where you would like to be, bonus: how you would like to feel. As a Certified Mindfulness Coach, I help Women find, honour, and listen to their inner voice of authenticity through greater consciousness. As a result, they feel more empowered and present, landing/choosing/taking action from a place of love vs fear. At our core, we are all love. The link is in my bio for a 20 min free consult. Let’s chat and make a plan for your next best steps forward.

Thank you I wasn’t ready for yesterday’s outpouring of love. Sounds weird right?! If you don’t know, yesterday, weAruma announced that as of April 2 we will be shutting down our current location, pivoting into a mental health facility at a new location. There, my business partner Haley will take over the name Aruma and lead the team. As sad as it is, it’s time. We get to leave on a really high note, in love for everything we created together in community at Aruma. And... that feels really good. The post went out, as my hands shook, and my belly turned. But I knew it was the next best step. The love that came in, was a wave of gratitude for what Aruma meant to so many. I think as a business owner you get bogged down by the day to days, bills, covid protocols, emails etc that sometimes you forget what you are creating/created. And because of covid we haven’t seen a lot of our people/patrons/fans/students in a long time. Well, let me tell you, they showed up in the biggest ways through comments, texts, dms, shares, stories etc. It was beyond what I was expecting. I bathed in that love all day. The memories washed over me like a hot shower warming my bones. We created magic on Pine Grove Rd. And that magic will live on for years through the hearts of our community. I had booked a virtual reiki apt 2 months ago with Aidan (obves not knowing it would land on the calendar so serendipitously). Aidan and myself were pleasantly surprised at how much flow was going on through each of my chakra centres (all considered). My creative centres were bubbling/popping with excitement, matching my heart and it’s expansiveness to what could be. I shared with Aidan how dedicated I’ve been with my mindfulness practices, co-creating with my spirit team. And it showed energetically throughout my vessel. No matter how shaken, unstable, unbalanced, unknown, that life can get, your rituals/practices/mindset can keep you so grounded. When I am here I choose love more easily than any other time. Yes fear is there, she always will be, but I always trust that she is showing me where the healing needs to begin. I choose to land in love always. Big hugs Charlotte Rosalyn Photography

Messages from beyond I am in a period on my timeline that could bring soooo much contraction, old patterns/tapes/stories, ways of being. If you have worked with me in my coaching container (ie. been my client)-my rebel mind, she could take over at any minute, because she always needs to feel safe. Nothing about my next best steps feels safe. But it sure does terrify my mind AND stir my soul at the same time (quote from The Mind Rebel Academy). INSTEAADDDDDDD, I’m choosin...g love over fear. And I do so by wrapping myself up in my daily rituals like a cocoon, tending to my aching/excited/nervous/grieving/hopeful/dreaming heart. I except where/when/why she feels the way she does. I nurture my body with movement, and connect to Spirit through prayer. These practices keep me grounded, with two feet bound to this earth, attached to my very human form. Love is where I take action from. Love is where I take direction from. Love is where I speak from. Love is where I choose from. Love is where expansion comes from. Every morning for the past month I have listen to @lalahdelia’s meditation signaling a new timeline. It’s powerful. And her voice is other worldly. These are the messages from her that I am leading with into my weekend; Playing small, no longer serves me. Everything good for me, finds me. I am evolving. I am vibrating higher daily. I am on a new timeline, one that has chose me. May you land in so much love for your tender hearts, surrendering into your new timeline, that is only one deep breath away. Be kind to yourselves this weekend Brittany Gawley Photography
