So many large environmental impacts have been slowed down and or stopped around the world. We have been forced to rethink the way we work, the way we go about our day.
We can see the positive impact on our environment. BUT at some stage we will start back up again. What habits would we have changed in OUR HOMES to improve and SUSTAIN a cleaner and healthier home? Do not use the excuse you do not have time. You HAVE to have the time and you cannot afford to not take action.
The consequences are too severe for the environment, for you as an individual and your family. The action is simple .. one simple action can solve for your health, paying forward and having a clean green home .. easy !! Let’s have a chat.
This is a perfect time to change habits in our homes, to achieve a cleaner, greener refuge. Many, like me, have used the old excuse of “I don’t have time”, I don’t have time to research what’s best, I don’t have time to learn, I don’t have time to apply – I just don’t have time.
Well the truth is now most of us are at home 100%, no travel time, no excuses AND IT’S TIME!
We should want to do what we can to have a greener home for our health and the health of our planet. I’m no ‘greeny’ – but I did not actually realise how easy one simple action could impact me, my family and the environment so positively – while giving me a medical grade disinfectant for my home.
My mum who is 84 lives in a tiny house on our property. She is the old school cleaner of white vinegar and newspaper with a good mix of Jif, White King and numerous sprays. Her cleaning cupboard used to be a source of anything and everything for all occasions!
That’s all changed – for both of us. We now use water to clean and disinfect .. yep – water! Our grocery bill has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced!! .. and importantly we feel better about what we are doing in our own homes to sustain our environment.
We use a machine to alter the pH of our tap water. For cleaning we use 11.5 pH and disinfectant we use 2.5pH.
You cannot afford to not take action – now more than ever we have to reeducate ourselves on HEALTH and a CLEAN AND GREEN home.
I won’t cover it all here .. but a few things.
Use of 11.5 pH water : (yes, again .. WATER ) ..
Good nights sleep, dash just before bedtime releases Melatonin, along with thinking good positive thoughts and what puts a smile on your face will ensure a good night sleep … and there is more ..
The water can be used for make up removal, puffy eyes, hot bath soak, nasal wash for allergies, cold symptoms, snoring, bug spray repellent, bug bites, sunburn, food poisoning, stomach flu, arthritis, gout, muscle soreness or tissue injury, HANGOVERS and migranes, chemotherapy, cleaning pesticides from fruit and vegetables, cleaing and tenderising meat, laundry soap – especially for those that work in smelly environments, stains on clothes, rugs, carpets, oven cleaner, dishwasher and polishing silver.
Use of 2.5 pH water: (yes, again ..WATER )
Kills all microbes – rinse fruit and vegetables! USE FOR DISINFECTING ANYTHING – put in a spray bottle and carry in your handbag !
2.5pH can also be used for… antibacterial soap, facial lifting and tightening, brush and gargle – awesome preventative!, stops vomiting, kills bacteria in open wounds, treat nail fungus, poison ivy, pink eye, fever blisters, cancer sores, moles and warts. For infected sinuses – spray with 2.5pH – rinse with 11.5 pH.

Simply amazing .. I have been using consistently in my home for the last few months and am amazed !! I am ashamed to say I used 9.5pH healthy drinking water for hydration benefits long before I took the cleaning settings seriously.
My mum has been using for the last few weeks and is absolutely astonished .. I will put a video and post in here of her in the next week or so.
You cannot afford to not take action – now more than ever we have to re-educate ourselves on HEALTH and a CLEAN AND GREEN home.
I normally post about transformation of individuals and businesses, you see I am a management consultant who specialises in delivering transformation change of businesses.
Like many I have a few investment interests to help boost my superannuation plans.
Passive income is one of those lines of activity, it does well – typically more than my super fund returns as a %!
With what is occurring around us at present I am profiling one of the medical grade products I direct sale and use in my and my mothers own homes with a driver being ‘paying forward’ and letting people know about this awesome experience and product.
I’m usually more subtle .. but we have been hit between the eyes with this virus .. and this one product is an AWESOME solution for improved health and a clean and green home.
Focusing on gettingour comfort back. Tomorrow will be different than yesterday and
what are WE doing today to be comfortable with what tomorrow brings. This blog
covers my mum who is 84, me at 55 and my 6 year old daughter. My mum lives independently in a tiny house on
wheels on our property..
We can do this!
We can get our comfort back. I’ve
noticed this week a greater level of comfort than last weeks inconvenience, disruption,
fear and hope. Everyone is still
adjusting … This blogg is to tell our story and help to get our comfort back
with a focus on health and our home.
As we move forward having a heightened focus on mindset, health
and our immediate environment in our home.
Mindset and health are paramount, it is
the foundation in moving forward. If we
don’t have either at a certain level anything that follows will be ‘wobbly’. If
we are not solid on mindset and health it will hinder us in the future, it will
slow us down, it will hinder our focus.
Resilience is something we have within ourselves; we
all have it. In fact Australian and New
Zealand women and families are renowned for it across the world. Recognise you have it, draw on it. Recognising the resilience, we have built up
over our lives will be critical over the coming months; take comfort in knowing
that we have the resilience to support ourselves. Resilience is not something
that we just start doing, it is something we have built up over time. What resilience have you built up in your
life? What history of resilience have
you got in your family, in your community?
Mum has HUGE resilience, her father passed away when
she was still in nappies, her mum raising the kids on her own for many years,
and my mothers mum took in a cousin as well to raise. There was a family tragedy of an aunty taking
her and her childrens lives through years of an abusive husband. My mum had 9 pregnancies with 3 surviving
children, she has been married 3 times, every marriage, bless her, was a happy
one. But here she is at 84 on her own,
all three husbands have passed and are no longer living. She is 1 of 4 siblings and her and her eldest
sister who is 90 are the surviving sisters.
She fortunately has the joy that all three of her precious children are
alive and healthy. She has been in some
successful business ventures and some terrible financial disasters. She won a small amount of lotto once. I
remember that phone call of excitement, it came just at the right time for her. I also remember the phone call to advise my
dear stepfather who was a wonderful man had terminal cancer, and mum had
cancelled their private insurance cover the month prior to save money. Mum has a massive resilience reserve to
support her through the next few months. In fact she comes from a long line of
resilient women and families and passed that down to us.
My resilience bank draws on experiences with
childhood challenges, drinking at a very young age (so many experiences where I
should not have woken up the next day!), not valuing myself but at an early age
recognising something related to Entrepreneur Mindset which of course I did not
know what to label or call it at the time.
I got married, which did not last.
I’ve had a long term relationship which has recently broken down. I have had a very successful professional
career taking me around the world, I had turned myself into a workaholic and
‘high achiever’. At a very young age I
was told I could not have children which really shaped my 30’s to be a
workaholic and the fun girl. I recall quite
clearly telling a guy I had been dating for a few months the news I could not
have children (at what point do you tell someone?). We were in a restaurant, he stood up and
abused me for wasting his time. mmmmmm.. that was an experience. So single I stayed – why would I re enter
that world of the unknown? Then, due to
a breakthrough in fertility treatment, to be given options in my early 40’s of
having children… too late I said, then on reflection I realised actually how
much I would like to raise a child. I
have many many god children, probably because they thought I would not have my
own ..ha ha. Anyway 8 years and 15
rounds of IVF followed …. Which eventuated in my little girl being born!! In my 49th year!
Something I’ve realised with my recent relationship breaking
down is I’ve never been alone without my dad or a man in my life. I have certainly been single for most of my
adult life, but my dad was there. And he
was the greatest support – always believing in all of his children. I meet my current partner while dad was
alive. Now I’m standing here a bit
wobbly as my dad is not there to say – it will all be ok Ferne, you’ve got
this.
My bottom line is at 55 years I thought I would be further
along in my comfort zone than what I am.
I thought I would have retired, happily travelling the world with my
little girl in tow visiting all my friends and creating experiences and memories
and having a wonderful base to come back home to, with a solid bank account to
never have to check the balance on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. That is not
my current reality. I have stopped
looking at my superannuation balance in the last week !
So step it up I will … I have resilience, my mother
has resilience we have a long history of resilience in our family, in our
communities in the Southern Hemispher.
We do things every day to ensure our mindset is strong and focused. I meditate each day, mum gardens every day –
it helps form our foundation. I am very
fortunate that I have an Entrepreneur mindset.. It’s in my blood, in my bones. I have passion and I’m retraining myself on
how to take my knowledge + passion and influence others more broadly than I
otherwise would have without social networks!!
What has occurred in your life to give you resilience? Draw on it now and focus on your mindset.
So how does this help with our tomorrow? The inconvenience, risk, fear and uncertainty
that is occurring today in our lives in March 2020 all around the world. We have to make sure this one event is not
the event that brings you undone, it’s not THE thing that takes all your
reserves of resilience and uses it up all at once. Do not empty your resilience tank!
“The
outcome of a choice made in fear will always be more of the same”– Paul Selig.
Every
single one of us is dealing with a collective event never experienced before by
most of us in our lifetimes. And let’s
be honest…it is terrifying.
Draw
on your resilience you have in your reserve bank. We have, each and everyone of us, been dealt
events that build resilience.
The
four of us here at home have self-isolated with mum, my daughter myself and my
partner. Even though my relationship has
broken down with my partner I’m very grateful we have come together and figured
out ways to treat each other with respect and stay at our property to support
as a family. We will deal to ‘us’ at a
future time, but now is not the time to figure out our individual futures. It is a time to figure out how to support and
demonstrate what family resilience is.
So getting
our comfort back. Recognise tomorrow
will not be the same as last week and that is OK. We just need to get
comfortable what the new tomorrow is going to be.
Suggested Actions
Limit your time listening to news news news – chats with friends about doom and gloom, give yourself a time limit each day to be part of that ‘movement’
Recognise you have resilience, reflect on times in your life that has built resilience in your resilience bank! Look at your history within your family, your community, your country.
Reflect on what givesyoujoy, what topsupyourmindset, what keeps you in a good mindset – do more of it! Recognise the triggers that distracts you from a good mindset, put management plans in place that if this ‘trigger’ occurs what is your management plan to draw out of any downward spiral
Back away from people who don’t share good energy withyou. You are in the driver’s seat of your life. Don’t be a passenger in something so critical as your life.
Stand in front of that mirror in the morning and throughout the day and smile back, love the person you see, love the person you will be tomorrow.
So many large environmental impacts have been slowed down and or stopped around the world. We have been forced to rethink the way we work, the way we go about our day.
