I post things about life n' stuff here, come check it out!

  • Explaining yourself essentially tells the universe you don't value and or trust yourself. We all desire peoples agreement or approval, it’s a human thing that sucks balls. because wh n we live for this, we tend to lack boundaries, ignore our intuition and suffocate our dreams. Bad news, loves. Stop that. Stop that right now. Revolutionize ❤️ @glennondoyle shared a quote about women not explaining themselves, thought it was fab. It triggered this thought process - wanted to credit ❤️
  • In desperate times, much more than anything else, folks need perspective. For perspective brings calm. Calm leads to clear thinking. Clear thinking yields new ideas. And ideas produce the bloom...of an answer. Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found. Here is a hot tip. Whatever issue you’re focusing on, multiply it by 1,000 and then consider how you’d try and solve that problem. Then look back at your situation. It’s called perspective. Easier said than done, I know. Lately I’ve been watching myself spin out over things that literally wouldn’t have me bat an eye lid on any normal day. Whatever that is; “Normal”. It’s not even that things are busy, it’s that I feel like my old protective guard has dropped down and I’m more open than ever in my heart. Lovely, right? Also incredibly raw. It’s an adjustment time with a higher sensitivity. What this means is that all the parts of it I’ve been protecting and hiding are now exposed. It’s like - oh fuck, I feel that. Sometimes I see it sometimes I don’t. And that’s it right, the speed at which you can return to awareness. Do you know what an untrained mind does with feelings they’re not used to feeling? It analyses it, tries to find something to direct the pain at/disperse and explain it because gosh forbid that we may be responsible for the pain we’re feeling. And that’s the other thing - responsibility. Once you’ve reefed yourself out of the emotion, taken a breath, find some perspective It’s very brave to then look at yourself and ask how you ended up in the midst of this chaos. Not to blame. Not to shove yourself into a box or shame who you are. A simple reflection. A learning. Perspective. Breath. Reflection = wisdom. Responsibility is painful for the ego that wants to hold tight to our limits, blames and pain but it’s the most liberating moment. And change. Well that’s bloody easy. People think it takes times. No. The decision to change takes time, the change itself is instant. Righto, so Tuesday’s wisdom done. Back to reflection, more opening, more breath and more love. Hugs, Ambz
  • Oh tis’ the time where everyone freaks the f out because they feel one or more of the following: a) this year tore my soul out, shook out the dead stuff and shoved it (clean) back inside of me b) I am a shade away from a failure due to not meeting the “goals” (stupid conditioned expectations) I set 350 or so days ago or c) get me the hell out of 2018 Hopefully there is a variation inside of you all a little less cynical as well, you get this idea. Now my point - no matter what you’re feeling, it’s bloody beautiful. Relish in it. Especially - and I mean, ESPECIALLY if it feels messy (on this inside or out). Mess feeeeeels the most uncomfortable but it’s also equally as effective in clearing your life to make it more, well, you. I was going to say pure but that’s confusing, we are pure, we just get a little layered in expectations and self criticism about our innate nature and authenticity. Allow whatever is unfolding, do so. If you want things not to feel SO outta’ control then open to what’s uncontrollable. Just do it. Say it. “I’m down with the mess. I’m letting it be messy and most of all, I’m letting it take me to the place I was too afraid to go without a bit of a shake (but definitely need to go).” Okay guys have a bloody rad Monday. Watch those, “let me just get through the year”, kinda bullshit statements, else you’ll find yourself just surviving. That, loves, is a choice in your very own mind. Enjoy where you’re at, no matter what. AH x
  • When we have a fire inside that we either a) ignore or b) are inspired by but keep extinguishing through fears, doubts, conditions about success, impact and worth of both our creation, venture, idea, or ourselves - we suffer. We might still try and create - but it gets plagued by the head and this so where fear and sabotage kick in. If you are a go-getter, someone who wants to make an impact from their hearts, whether they reach 1 person or 1 billion, whether you want to make 50 thousands or 50 million dollars. If you want someone to help you live bigger, by diving deeper within yourself and making those little adjustments that have had you hitting your head on the same wall over and over again, then I want to speak with you. This years theme for the program (retreat and 1:1 coaching) is more about diving deeper to live bigger. Taking up space, being unafraid, being yourself and having the knowledge that it's not only worthy, inspiring and fun, but it’s what you were born to do. If you want to live bigger from the inside. If you want to become your own guide, guru, supported, director, permission giver, joy deliver, inspiration, then let’s talk. Each year I work with 14 clients one on one. Just 14. We work both together and in a group of similarly talented beings who have big ideas, loads of power but might be sabotaging in areas of their life, distracted by doubts and fears and recurrent patterns they can’t seem to shake. They might be: attracting unavailable partners making loads of cash but not being able to hold onto it becoming successful in wealth and finance but their body and wellbeing are sacrificed. Despite all the efforts for change they've gotten themselves this far but can't seem to take that leap alone. I get it. I have mentors for this reason. Because we don't know what we don't know and sometimes it’s not about our inability but our ability to be more effective at these shifts. If you’re serious about seriously diving in to live bigger, please fill out the questionnaire in my bio @amber_hawken and book a time to chat ❤

  • I am a total freak. I Love, and I mean Love diving into the parts of people's hearts, minds and emotions that they've been either too afraid of or didn't even know were there. To help them unpack, release and reframe the way they see some of the most painful or limiting moments of their life. At it's core, the practices of mindfulness and meditation are a way we can begin to peel back our own layers ourselves. That's why it is pretty much the bread and butter of everything I teach (if you haven’t figured that out already!). It is the single most simple and vital practice that buils a sense of inner connection (which helps with stimulation addiction), emotional intelligence (basically you are not run by your emotions but rather sit with them and feel them or let them pass) and self awarness. The ability to see the difference between you and thinking. Most people have no sense of what that really is. But what continues to blow me away every single day is just how powerful a simple ten-minute meditation can be in shifting your whole perspective. Perspective that results in making a new decision, acting on your freewill, delegating a completely new meaning to something, and ultimately, bring you back to what’s real. This is the power of an empowered mind. One that can move with the impermanence and flow of everything, consciously direct our energy and well, do anything you pretty much want it to! Here is a bonus audio I did for the Calm Mind Program for everyday people that teaches, resilience, meditation and self awarness. Enjoy!

  • You will NEVER solve an issue by looking at it and picking it up. Say a cow came and pooped in your bedroom. If this happened what would you do? Would you call all your friends and talk about it’s colour, shape, size, texture and temperature? Would you journal about how the cow didn’t even give a fuck about how it’s actions might make you feel? Would you pick it up and examine it and repeat in your mind over and over again about all of these details in the hopes that the more you think about it the more it would remove the poo/smell and clean itself? No. No you wouldn’t. You’d get some gloves, throw some Eminem in your ears and get that poo out of your room. You’d likely then investigate how to cow got in in the first place and set some boundaries to prevent the cow pooping all over your stuff in the future. And note the cow didn’t intend to create such suffering, even if he did, in his heart of hearts he didn’t have the level of awareness to not take a warm one on your bed Simple. So. Why the heck do you think examining something that’s creating stress or suffering; thinking, talking, looking at it over and over again; would help? When we focus and examine an issue over and over again we do two incredibly unhelpful things. Número uno. We literally align our mind, neurology, emotional state and energy with the issue, reenforcing it’s strength and existence. This expanding our suffering. Number two. We convince ourselves of the story so convincingly that the people around us as well as ourselves subscribe to it. Important note - whatever you subscribe to, that is, completely believe with conviction, you will experience and unconsciously create. So what to do instead. Focus on what you DO want. Create that feeling or energy within yourself through a mental shift and then act and live from this space while still holding that energy inside. This means you’re living in an energy of flow and joy rather than lack and rigid suffering. The situation is the situation, shift what is within your control and let the rest go. You can’t fix the problem with a mind stuck in worry. You don’t know what you don’t know, so begin where you are. Love me ❤️
  • Some “drugs” are great, kids. Such as medicinal marijuana and micro dosing of psychedelics to open the mind, answer life questions and process trauma. (For reals, psychotherapists and therapists around the world have been using them successfully for many decades) Also - Placebo is the strongest element of all medicine so who knows. Anyway.... #coffee. Fabulous life juice supplied at Manly in Sydney #drugstore Day four of business masterminds and workshops = early morning beach swims, yoga, breathwork and a long black ❤️
  • Yo, ma people who are feeling as though their emotions and mind are upside down and inside out right now – listen up! Yes I’m talking to you; The brave ones, courageously trying to unravel whatever the hell is going on inside of them.. What is happening in this very moment is not you taking 1 million steps backwards, falling apart, realising you are a failure, wasting your time doing work on yourself or any such things. This, my loves, is a time for you to peel back a very deep layer of crap you’ve been pushing down for a long time. I’m talking, your entire life long. The kind of stuff coming out of people at the moment is nuts. My entire week of private client work has been like the exorcism of demons from the darkest most well-locked up places of their minds, hearts and past. I’m talking, things people didn’t even know were things, but when we looked at what was coming up and opened that gateway, a whole lotta of everything was explored and excavated. Now if you don’t have an Amber of sorts to guide you through and remind you that this time is in fact, not your destruction but more so, an opportunity, then it can be pretty fucking scary, chaotic and shit could hit the damn fan. So here is a reminder that life is meant to be like this. Growth, chaos, consciousness, falling apart, burning in the hell of your fears, feeling as though you will never be able to shake this – thing. Wrong. This is another layer. Let me break it down for you. What you are going through is an opening up, a deepening of sorts. Whatever you have ignored in the past is making its presence heard, not so that you fall apart, but so you can listen. If you want to move through this and let it go, fighting it, going into fear, shame, blame or distraction is NOT going to help. The more you resist this the more that bugger is going to tear you apart and shred your self esteem and confidence within yourself and life. STOP. Please goodness me, pause. We’ve got this. I promise. Most of the chaos in your heart, head and emotions right now is because you are losing your shit that there is chaos. Resistance and repression of chaos creates more chaos. I have one word for you; surrender ❤️
  • Don’t get too judgy on yourself. Your life is an opportunity to open. Always. Sweet Monday dreams ❤️ #spiritualawakening #growth #humility #evolve #heart #love #humanaf #resilience #instagood #quotes #advicequotes
  • I have some VERY human aspects of myself to share. Incase you thought I was perfect. This last month I was punched in the spiritual bypassing face. What I mean is, the last few years I’ve been cruisin’ along single and it’s been a ball. Got to stay nice and protected most of the time. Selfishly and enjoying it. Recently I met someone who threw a mirror so close to my face I could see my own nostril hair. He’s officially one of the very few humans who can crack me open and see what’s underneath it all. He may or may not have highlighted a few who reflexes that have crept back in since being able to just be with myself and well, letting those aspect lay dormant. Single life = must be more vigilant of your shit, it’s easier to hide. Makes me want to do this face (picture). So naturally im using myself as a human experiment and taking the three things that I’ve found another layer to peel back on and release. Humanning never stops. We just able to become humble a lot faster and do the work to come back into argument without to much fuss or collateral damage. Just for fun, I thought I’d announce to every human who cares to run their eyes over these words, to well - accountability. So here goes: What I totally sometimes suck at is (and it’s okay because I’m human but now I see it, I can own it and transcend it) 1. Being told I’m out of line in an argument. Specially’ when the person has undeniably profound metaphors just so I get it. 2. Realising I’m out of line and owning it without pursed lips, cold tone or pointing out their misalignment in the same sentence. Most generally followed by, “but you”... 3. Remembering I’m not the most special human on the planet and becoming irritated. Taking it out of someone by withholding love and kindness as punishment to try and disperse my discomfort and feeling of shame for being annoyed that I’d even be attached to being special in the first place. Okay so, that’s my current focus. I’ll likely take you guys through the steps and progress just for fun. If you wanna’ support this little joy ride, feel free to comment and let me know what’s coming up for you lately and what you’re moving through. Love love. Me
  • So, yeh. I forget sometimes. This is a current note to self in a particularly accelerated time of grit through the core kinda’ stuff.
