SLP 402: A Change In Focus Changes How You Respond with Ruth Hotson

‘When we can support ourselves to go, ‘Do you know what, I can do this, I do have the capacity to do this’, our bodies and our minds are capable of so much more than we allow them to think. And, when we can create that space and allow other people to hold that for us, and to send us that positive energy, it completely changes where our mind and where our energy is focused. So it’s just that shift of what we are looking at and what we are focusing on can completely change how the mind and body responds.’ ~ Ruth Hotson After being told that she didn’t handle stress very well and that it was the cause of her long-term health issues, Ruth Hotson spent over a decade studying and learning how stress impacts our bodies and minds. This led her to study several different health and wellness modalities so she could help other people manage the daily effects of stress. One modality included massage which is a wonderful way to relieve stress and tension from the body, but it was Kinesiology that became the real key to help change her reaction and default response to stress long-term. As a practitioner, Ruth aims to support her clients to wellness and help them find physical and emotional balance so they can make the most of their precious life. In this week’s show, we hear Ruth help us to understand the principles of Kinesiology and how alternative health therapies can support mental, emotional and physical well-being. Life is stressful for everyone and in most countries, people are balancing financial, personal, relational and health issues. Ruth’s mission is to support her clients to overcome any limitations or challenges and give them an understanding of how they have ended up in this situation and what has caused it. She then shares a number of modalities we can use to move through and heal these moments and then show up in our best most amazing way. Her definition of Self Love is being able to think about our needs as well as others. Being able to say no to others when people ask us, or saying yes to us. It is knowing the things that make me feel good and prioritising them as much as possible. Self love is knowing I am important enough to prioritise. Her favourite quote is from: ‘Let your smile change the world. Don’t let the world change your smile.’ Links to follow: Website: https://findingbalancekinesiology.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/findingbalancekinesiology/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/findingbalancekinesiology/ Quotes: I have a very inquisitive mindset. I learned you just had to smile and not let people know you were struggling. The style of kinesiology that I do, comes from four different angles – physical, chemical, emotional or spiritual. I think we are all under stress and the way that will show up is different. A shift in what we are focusing on can change the way we experience it. It’s the little things I focus on that are the big things. In life, we cannot expect a static line. The nervous system is like a spring and if working well will take that impact. How we respond to the things that happen is based on how we perceive the world not how things are. Many like to downplay how stressed they are. Gratitude is important but the reality is downplaying stress is not helpful. Who I am is at the core of my being. Focus on what you love or focus on what you still have. Let your smile change the world. Don’t let the world change your smile. How did I choose to store that information from our childhood? Come back to yourself.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
