The Power of Four Words: "I Am Better Than That." 🛡️✨

We have all been there. Someone cuts you off in traffic. A colleague takes credit for your idea. A family member pushes that one button they know will get a reaction. In that split second, your "lizard brain" wants to react, lash out, or sink to their level. 📈

But then, a shift happens. You pause, take a breath, and tell yourself: "I am better than that."

The Science of the Shift: Research in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience shows that using "self-talk" in the third person or as a mantra helps distance us from emotional triggers. This "self-distancing" allows the prefrontal cortex (the logical part of your brain) to take back control from the amygdala (the emotional centre). 🧠

When to use it:

-When you are tempted to break a healthy habit
-When you are about to engage in a toxic argument
-When "imposter syndrome" tells you to play small

✅ Top 5 Ways to Embody "I Am Better Than That"

1. The 90-Second Rule: It takes 90 seconds for an emotional chemical surge to pass through your body. Wait it out before responding. ⏳
2. Identify Your Values: You can not be "better" if you do not know what you are aiming for. Write down 3 core values (e.g., Integrity, Calm, Growth). 📜
3. Audit Your Environment: Sometimes being "better" means leaving the room or the group chat. 🚪
4. Practice Radical Responsibility: Own your reactions, even if the other person is "wrong." 🤝
5. Rewire Your Language: Replace "I can not believe they did that" with "I am in control of how I react to that." 🔄

Ready to stop reacting and start leading? 🚀 Knowing you are better is one thing. Living it is another. In my free Skool community, we delve into the practical implementation of these mindset shifts. We help you build the emotional resilience to stay "better" in every situation.

I once had an experience where a hiker told me they did not need a guide for a simple ridge, only to end up wandering in circles as the mist rolled in.

⁉️ Skincare for women over 40 can feel a bit like that sometimes, full of endless trails and very few proper signposts.

🕙 ​Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, something rather brilliant arrives at base camp. Alison Hammond (TV celeb) and Tropic Skincare founder, Susie - have put together a limited edition collection called "Alison’s Edit".

✅️ I must admit I am fan of Alison, ever since she hit the screens in Big Brother. She has this wonderful energy that just fills the room. Plus, her hilarious interview of Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling sums up her infections personality.

Alison has been quite honest about searching for years until she finally found Tropic, and now she has gathered her absolute favorites into one lovely green bundle, that offers Comfort, Evenness, and Radiance.

​Inside this particular pack, you are getting £84 worth of gorgeous products for just £58, which leaves a bit of extra room in the rucksack or your holiday/weekend luggage.

There are
- Mini cleansers
- Rainforest Dew hydration serum
- Super Greens nutrient boost oil
- A touch of SPF because the British weather can be delightfully unpredictable
- Skin Feast nourishing moisturiser
- Lip Silk, plumping Lip serum

​Perhaps you are completely new to the brand, or perhaps you just fancy treating your skin to a proper refresh as we start thinking ahead to autumn.

Either way, I suspect these will vanish quicker than a cup of tea on a chilly summit. If you would like me to reserve one for you, just drop me a message or leave a 💚 green heart 💚 in the comments below.

Looking for an outfit to wear today and I struggled.

Does anyone else look in their wardrobe and think "I have nothing to wear?"

💋💋 Do your lips change with the weather? Mine do!

Here’s some fascinating lip trivia for you:

1️⃣ Your lips are as unique as your fingerprints
2️⃣ They thin out as you age
3️⃣ They have less melanin, making them prone to UV damage
4️⃣ They don’t sweat or secrete oil
5️⃣ They’re 100x more sensitive than your fingertips
6️⃣ Their colour comes from the blood vessels underneath

That is why lip balm is a must-have and why you must keep it handy:

🧬 PREVENTING THE SIGNS OF AGEING
- Fine lines around your lips can sneak up on you as you age
- This delicate area is always on the move, making it prone to wrinkles
- Keep those signs of aging at bay with regular moisturizing!

💨 SHIELDING FROM ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
- Without sweat or sebaceous glands and minimal melanin, your lips are ultra-fragile
- Protect them with a lip balm that includes SPF
- Whether it's summer or winter, keep that balm close and reapply throughout the day, especially before heading outside.

💧 BOOSTING VOLUME
- Healthy lips = plump lips!
- Hydration is key here.
- Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead cells and then slather on that nourishing lip balm.

💄 PROLONGING YOUR LIPSTICK WEAR
- Want your lipstick to last all day?
- Start with hydration. Moisturize before and after applying your makeup
- Wait a few minutes before applying lipstick to give the balm time to sink in
- I always use our Lip Shade or Lip Fudge before applying my Lip Glaze.

💋 Looking after those beautiful lips should be a high priority.

Here are my TOP TROPIC PICKS to keep them luscious:

💄 LIP SHADE: A nourishing SPF 50 balm with Kalahari Melon Seed Oil, Aloe Butter, and Shea Butter. It protects against UV rays while softening and conditioning.

👄 Tropic Lip Fudge Plumping Lip Conditioner: Hydrates and gives your lips a naturally plump look.

💄 Tropic Kiss Me Quick Lipstick: Adds a beautiful pop of colour while keeping your lips moisturized and protected.

Keep those lips luscious and loveable! 💋💋

A few years ago, I had an experience where a walk along a trail solved a business problem that had been sitting on my desk for weeks. There is something about moving shoulder-to-shoulder that simply opens up the mind in a way a swivel chair never can.

Perhaps you have felt that familiar afternoon slump where the walls of your office seem to be closing in just a little bit?

Maybe you have spent far too many hours in windowless rooms trying to make "meaningful connections" over lukewarm coffee and a plate of beige biscuits.

That is why the first four events for **The Netwalk Network** are now officially live on Eventbrite for May. We are planting our flags in **Stafford** and **Lichfield**, with more territory like in *Cheshire* and *Shropshire* appearing on the horizon very soon.

These are not just walks. They are your **Productivity Insurance**. A combination of Networking and Walking for a Netwalk.

Whether you are looking for our WOMEN ONLY trails for that focused, restorative energy or our sessions for a MIXED women and men professional climb, we have a place for you. We are building a national community of netwalks for leaders who know that *Business, Movement, Connection, and Stress Management* are the real secrets to a long and successful business. All under the watchful eye of The Wellbeing Sherpa, a qualified and insured Walk Leader and outdoor specialist.

Every trek includes a curated surprise from the **Sherpa kitbag**. You might find a handcrafted treat to support your **hormone balance** or a botanical reset to protect your skin from the British elements.

Your Investment: £12 Early Bird / £15 Standard.

Locations: Stafford, Lichfield, and more coming soon.

The Goal:** To help you **Walk the Talk** networking whilst walking, and build a **Sustainable Performance System** for your life and business.

It is time to stop the "in-box" scrolling and start the "out-door" strolling, as I truly believe that the best business deals are waiting for us on the trail, not in the boardroom.

Take a look at our full May schedule and book your spot on the next ascent here: https://www.rfr.bz/f52dc088d

Tropic Infinite Purpose for the world
1. Healthier
2. Greener
3. Empowered

I found this circuit workout that I created a while back. When you see the reducing numbers you think "awesome'. But all those changes can be demanding....if you keep the pressure going.

Let me know if you give it a go.

Me being interviewed on an asian radio station 📻 sharing my experience of living in a domestic violence relationship. And how I have survived and thrived since.

I am far removed from the scared woman who suffered at the hands of a dangerous sadistic man. With counselling, psychological intervention and group therapy - plus a ton of working on myself, I am a better and happier version, refusing to be scarred . Instead, I am passionate about empowerment.

CONSIDER
💡 When you are in a room of people. 20 people. One of those people could have experienced domestic violence.

"The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) estimated that 5.0% of adults (6.9% women and 3.0% men) aged 16 years and over experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2022; this equates to an estimated 2.4 million adults (1.7 million women and 699,000 men)."

📣 TO SOMEONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING ABUSE RIGHT NOW
I am speaking directly to the person who maybe reading this and experiencing domestic violence right now.

There is help out there. know it is scary and your abuser has made you feel that you are worthless. But you are not. The following people will hear your voice, your words, your thoughts, and your pain. And they will believe you and save you.......no matter what your abuser has lead you to believe. Because what your abuser has said is a lie.

So speak to a friend. Speak to the police. Speak to your employer. Speak to your tutor. Speak to your religious figure. Speak to someone at your local refuge. Ask for Angela when you are at a bar.

Hands up ✋️✋️ and COMMENT if this is something that you are interested in
