🥳✨ Double the celebration today! ✨🥳

🎂 My Wellness Toolbox is 7 years old

🎂 My Wellness Journal is celebrating its 1st birthday

They say life moves in cycles of seven… and wow, the last seven years have truly had it all… the highs, the lows, twists, turns, curveballs and everything in between. Through it all, the one thing that has never let me down has been the tools in My Wellness Toolbox.

They’ve been my constant… and it fills me with so much joy to know they have been useful for so many of you too 💙

Even though I don’t show up on socials with my tools quite as much these days, I’m still showing up in other spaces… just yesterday I was on a call with my fellow wellbeing warrior squad leaders at E.ON npower Business Solutions and they shared how they are using my tools and messages with their teams with postive outcomes. Gave me big goosebumps.

Moments like that remind me just how far these little “birthday babies” have travelled and how much they are helping others take responsibility for their own well-being.

So raising a glass of Tool #1 (water) to 7 years of My Wellness Toolbox, 1 year of the Journal… and many more years of sharing, growing, healing and finding the right tools at the right time ☺️

Happy birthday, you two… thank you for the journey you have taken me on and the wonderful people and incredible opportunities it has led me to ☺️

🎉 MY DIVORCE TOOLBOX IS FINALLY D🦆CKING OPEN!

Hi I’m Ali… IT Manager, Reiki Master Teacher, professional coach, award-winning author and Mum of two… (books and children), also a wine enthusiast… Moonologist (it’s an actual thing 🌙 ) and a little bit busy over here life-ing!

My third book, My Divorce Toolbox: Tools for Dealing with Divorce, Dilemmas and Duckheads, due date is very soon!

Yet as I always say why wait… (for the book) when we can get started right here? 😉☺️

This little corner of the internet is for anyone who has had life throw a massive curveball, turned their world upside down and left them figuring out what the duck happens next.

You don’t have to have been legally married, divorced or going through a divorce to be here. Heartbreak, separation, loss and unexpected life changes don’t discriminate. Everyone is welcome (even Duckheads… they need healing the most!!)

Expect ducking good guidance, practical and often unconventional tools, honest conversations and a bit of humour (or at least attempts) along the way. I will try not to overdo it with the ducks, they just happen to be my current hyperfocus!

…and just to be clear this is a space to heal, not hate. Although we might have a little fun with the Duckheads along the way! 🤭

Know someone who needs this? Tag them, share the love and hit FOLLOW.

📚 My third book ‘My Divorce Toolbox’ is on its way! Release date to be announced soon!

Let’s get the duck on with living! ❤️

💛 A little update about my Positivity Wardrobe…

My Positivity Wardrobe is no longer available, as the fabulous business I partnered with to bring it to life is currently taking a pause in its operations.

I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the journey we went on, the difference we made, and all the positivity we put out into the world along the way.

I still have a wardrobe packed full of my positivity hoodies, sweats and tees, which always make me smile and reminds me of what we created during one of my hardest ever years ✨

A huge thank you to Naomi Victoria, who made the whole thing happen in the first place. Without her, the Positivity Wardrobe would never have existed, and I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to bring this little idea to life.

@naomivictorialoves , I’m wishing you so much health, happiness and love for whatever comes next on your journey. ❤️ You are amazeballs xx

I’ll also be removing the Positivity Wardrobe links from my website… when I get round to it, lol! 😂

Sometimes, things come to an end, but that doesn’t take away from the magic they created along the way.

Finally, a massive thank you to everyone who purchased a piece of the Positivity Wardrobe and has a little bit of that positivity hanging in their own wardrobe. I hope your hoodies, sweats and tees continue to bring you a little joy every time you wear them. 💛 by @aliswiftuk

Last night was a bit special. 💚

I was invited to the CRN Women & Diversity in Channel Awards as a finalist for Mental Health Champion of the Year, and just being nominated by my employer E.ON UK meant so much. To go through the judging process and be shortlisted for an industry award was a huge achievement in itself.

A huge congratulations to the winner Bhavika Mistry (HPE) 🙌🏻🎉

I don’t do the mental health and wellbeing work I do for recognition. I do it because it matters. My hope in some ways is that one day we won’t have awards for mental health champions because looking after ourselves and each other, talking openly about our mental health and actually doing something about it has become the norm.

We all have our wellness toolboxes. Sometimes we use the tools, sometimes we don’t, but they’re there when we need them.

The evening itself was fabulous. Great food, brilliant company with my colleagues Harry, @_.tin.x and @sim.bansal , fantastic live music and @fleureast as a fabulous host. My feet are paying the price this morning, though. Heels definitely aren’t in my toolbox! 😂

With 27 awards celebrating women and others in tech, it was brilliant to see so much talent recognised. Yet we have still got work to do to make tech more diverse and inclusive, especially in leadership, but I do feel we are heading in the right direction. We need to keep opening doors and creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds to thrive.

A huge thank you to my employer for the nomination and for supporting the mental health and wellbeing work I do, and to CRN for a brilliant evening.

I may not have brought home an award, but I came away feeling very proud and very grateful to have been part of it. 🫶

🎁 Happy 8th Birthday to My Wellness Toolbox 😮

Eight years ago today, my first book was published, to help others find the tools to overcome anxiety.

I had no idea where it would take me. There was no plan for book two, let alone book three.

My little book changed the direction of my life in ways I couldn’t have predicted. It led to talks, opportunities, research, qualifications, the work I do today and, most importantly, some of the most important friendships I now have.

It was also a big part of my own healing journey.

The fact that people are still buying it eight years later blows my mind. People still message me to say it has helped them, and I’m still asked to deliver talks about it. It feels surreal.

I’ve had people tell me the book saved their life, but I always say they saved their own life. They found the tools, took responsibility for their wellbeing and chose to help themselves. That’s the message behind all of my books.

Then came Your Wellness Toolbox in 2021. Every author needs a flop 😂 (Quite a few copies in my loft if you want one)

…and now My Divorce Toolbox is with the publisher. Today the copy editor messaged me: “I bloody love it. Honestly, it was a joy to read.” I’ll take that. ❤️

There’s also lovely alignment with My Wellness Toolbox’s 8th birthday falling on a Full Moon and lunar eclipse, with the Moon moving through shadow before returning to the light.

A book born from my own difficult chapter, eight years of unexpected ripples, and now another book about divorce, healing and starting again making its way into the world.

Then there’s the number 8… resilience, balance, achievement and cause and effect. Turn it on its side and it becomes infinity. Just another bit of alignment I’ll take ♾️

Eight years. One decision. One book. Then two. Now three.

All with purpose.

I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Happy Birthday, My Wellness Toolbox ❤️
Thank you for everything.

With every darkness comes light. Just as last nights sunset reminded us 🌅

Ps… go order it on Amazon, as if you haven’t already 🤣

💙 15 years ago today, I jumped out of a plane.

13,000 feet over Fox Glacier in New Zealand. 💥

Would I do it again? Absolutely not. 😂

The views were incredible, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences… yet I hated every second of it!

I felt sick the whole way down, was physically sick when I landed and, in all the panic and adrenaline, I completely forgot how to land properly. I put my legs in the wrong position and an ambulance came racing over because apparently that’s one of the quickest ways to break both your legs.

Thankfully, I didn’t.

NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN.

Yet got a great pic 🤣

We often think that if we face our fears, we will have the best experience and everything will magically work out. That the fear disappears. That we’ll feel amazing afterwards. That we’ll get exactly the outcome we wanted.

Yet that’s not always how courage works.

Sometimes stepping through fear is messy and sometimes it makes you feel sick. Sometimes it doesn’t go to plan and sometimes you just don’t enjoy it.

Yet every single time, you learn something about yourself.

You realise you’re stronger than you thought. You prove to yourself that you can do hard things… and you collect evidence that fear doesn’t have to be in the driving seat.

This photo has reminded me of that for 15 years.

Not because I loved it, but because I chose courage anyway.

That’s why this year I chose to say YES more and stop playing so safe and sensible.
Yes to opportunities.
Yes to experiences.
Yes to making some really big personal decisions.

Have I questioned myself? Absolutely.

Have I felt uncomfortable? More times than I can count.

Have I nearly sabotaged? Definitely.

Have I got it wrong? Yup!

Yet every time I’ve chosen courage over comfort, I’ve learnt something. I’ve grown. I’ve become a little more me.

Maybe that’s the gift on the other side of fear, not always the outcome you hoped for… but the person you became because you were brave enough to take the leap.

So whatever leap you’ve been talking yourself out of… this is your sign to stop waiting and take it…

😮 I can’t believe it’s been three years.

Three years ago, my marriage ended. I remember sitting on the plane home from Mexico, watching the sunrise and just knowing. Within hours of landing, it was over.

At the time, it felt like everything was falling apart. It wasn’t what I wanted.

Now I look at my life and think… wow. It kinda actually fell together.

Not because it’s perfect, it’s not!! But because I am different.

The biggest shift for me was I stopped focusing on everyone else and looked at myself.

No blame, just ownership.

I asked myself some hard questions.

What part did I play? What patterns am I carrying? What needs to change so I do not end up here again?

Then I got on with it. I did the work!

It has been uncomfortable at times. Letting go of the life I thought I would have. Sitting with things I would rather avoid. Taking responsibility for my behaviour.

It would have been easy to stay stuck, to blame, to stay angry. To keep sitting in my own BS!

That was not going to be me.

So I chose differently. I decided this was happening for me not to me. That decision changed everything.

In three years, you can rebuild your life. Not by waiting for things to change but by changing how you show up.

If you are in the middle of something right now that feels like everything is falling apart, ask yourself two questions.

What am I going to do with this?

Am I going to let this happen to me, or am I going to let this happen for me?

Then remember, you have Your Wellness Toolbox.

There are so many tools that can help you through this. Tools you already have. You just need to remind yourself of them!!!

So which one are you pulling out today?

When everything falls apart, you can choose to rebuild something better.

It starts when you stop looking for others to love you and start loving yourself… use those tools 🫶

Today felt really special.

I had the privilege of sharing My Wellness Toolbox talk on energy, emotions and empowerment at a Women’s Network event celebrating International Women’s Day with Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. @bsmhft_nhs

It felt like a bit of a full circle moment. Talking about my own mental health journey with people who spend their working lives supporting the mental health of others was both humbling and meaningful.

One of the messages that seemed to resonate in the room was this…

The most disempowering thing is forgetting that you are empowered.

We all carry our own keys. Sometimes we just need the reminder that we are the ones holding them.

There was also a very human moment from the front of the room 😆🙈 …because this was a new talk, I brought cue cards with me to help my slightly perimenopausal brain. I shuffled them, lost my place and briefly confused myself… so I took a breath, laughed at myself and carried on. Perfection is not the goal… being human is.😅🫶

My talk was only one small part of a really thoughtful day. There was space to slow down, connect and take care of ourselves too. I was lucky enough to receive a hand massage, take part in some artwork and crafts, and experience a gentle yoga nidra body scan. 😊

Feeling very grateful for the whole experience and for @loopylou2727 who suggested me for the event. Not only did I share my wellness toolbox today, I was handed quite a few tools for my own wellbeing as well.

I am also incredibly grateful to E.ON who have supported me working a shorter working week, which allows me the space to take opportunities like this and share my wellness toolbox.

Today has been a really lovely reminder that the people who care for others deserve care too.
