Workshop: Strategies to Reduce Stress and Relax

by | Dec 1, 2016 | 2016 Workshops, Workshops

It’s the busiest time of year for most of us – not only with our businesses, but also family and holiday obligations.

So, it’s unsurprising that it can also be one of the most stressful times of year.

I thought it would be a great time to put together a self-care workshop where I share a bunch of strategies you can use to reduce stress and consciously relax.

I also discuss WHY this is so important to your overall health – why you might be feeling so very sick and tired – and how to move out of the ‘red zone’ of chronic stress into the ‘green zone’ of a relaxed, stable, natural state.

I’ve included a bonus download for you, as well – me taking you through one of my own favourite relaxation/meditation practices, which I use myself regularly, especially at night if I am having trouble falling asleep.

Enjoy, and take care of yourself.

Jess 🙂

Workshop: How to Use Picasa to Edit your Product Photos

by | Oct 3, 2016 | 2016 Workshops, Workshops

Hello Circle! Welcome to the workshop.

This workshop, I’m showing you how to use Google Picasa to edit your product photos.

It’s free and easy to use, and should help you to speed up your editing – a process that can be quite laborious.

Picasa can be downloaded onto your desktop/laptop, and that means you can do your editing offline. I also mention a secondary program you can use if you want more control over the editing process than Picasa allows.

I hope you enjoy this one, and as always, please leave any questions below, or in the FB group!

Workshop: How to Challenge Negative Self-Talk and a Lack of Confidence

by | Sep 1, 2016 | 2016 Workshops, Workshops

Welcome to Spring (or Autumn) – both my favourite seasons!

I’ve created a workshop on a very important topic – because we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to making progress, and learning to overcome the negative, false things we tell ourselves is the key to moving forward with confidence.

In this workshop, I cover a number of strategies that you can use to combat negative thoughts, and grow that confidence!

As always – if you have any questions or thoughts to share, please pop them in the comments below, or over in the FB group.
