I contributed an exercise for helping to listen to your gut in this great hellogiggles article by kplumhoff. If you ever have a hard time knowing what your intuition and/ or instinct is trying to tell you, maybe have a read!

It is so hot today, I am grateful that illustration involves mostly sitting still and just moving my wrist. Today I have been playing Star Wars: The Last Jedi in the background and have decided that self-development work is basically just trying to be a
Jedi for the 21st century. Whether that is learning to listen to your gut, or just learning to wear a face mask on a hot day with equanimity, I hope you are doing great.

Today I have been drawing emotion monsters like this fuzzy little guy. Working on the kids book is going well - slowly but surely! It's also a great opportunity to listen to podcasts and learn at the same time and OK, maybe the odd bit of background guilty tv (married at first sight has to have some kind of educational value right?). I can’t wait until this self-development book for children is ready to share. 🧒👦👧💕📖

Also I’m loving hearing from clients, friends and colleagues about their experiences reading The Art of Coming Home. It's so interesting seeing how other people use it in their own individual lives with their own challenges and strengths, often with benefits I didn’t predict. If you are interested in exploring your own personal development with an eclectic guide with its own exercises and lots of useful info, you can buy your copy using the link in my bio.

I hope you are enjoying the nice weather and feeling healthy and strong! 😄☀️🙌💃🕺🤓 #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #drawing #picturebooks #selfdevelopment #artofcominghome #suzannewylde #selfcare #selflove #compassion #author #authorsofinstagram #marriedatfirstsight

I got a bit too much sun today, oops! It was gorgeous spending a whole day off outside, not writing (ok I jotted some notes down - but that’s only because I got an idea for a new story while in the bath yesterday, which I can’t wait to start working on) and getting my increasingly soft (from lockdown laxness) bare feet out on the ground.

Back to work tomorrow, posting out signed copies of The Art of Coming Home to various countries, working on recorded visualisations, working on the kids book and also working on a stretching course with one of the movingstretch trainers! I needed that day off 😄😄😄🌿☀️ #dayoff #selfdevelopment #barefoot #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #stretching #childrensbooks #artofcominghome #suzannewylde

Self-development is some of the hardest, most prof

Self-development is some of the hardest, most profound, most challenging and rewarding work we can do in our lives. Although it seems like it should be easy to be ourselves, for many of us it takes a lot of self-reflection - on our values, our desires and emotions, and millions of tiny experiences of leaving our comfort zone. You don’t “end up” being yourself fully, it is a constant choosing of yourself, it’s effort and time, and it is a sign love for yourself and respect for others. If you can, try to choose yourself today. 😘💃🕺🧍 #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #selflove #selfactualisation #selfactualization #emotionalintelligence #innerpeace #innerbeauty #artofcominghome

Congrats again to all the winners of my #bookgivea

Congrats again to all the winners of my #bookgiveaway competition! I have wrapped your books and they will be on their way to you this afternoon.

I hope you enjoy reading my latest book, and it helps you in some way. I have been re-reading it myself as I finish the companion guide to working with it (which will be available for free with some other Art of Coming Home reader resources on my site by the end of the month) and have found some truths that are great for me to remember.

And do take your time with it, there’s quite a lot in here 😊🙌✨📖💕

I loved being interviewed by Michael Toebe special

I loved being interviewed by Michael Toebe specialist_reputation in his article on decision making and anger.

It was a great opportunity for me to contemplate some of the work I have done with clients on looking at their triggers
and learning how they can make decisions from a calm and centred place, even during times of stress or upheaval.

Ultimately anger is a tool that many of us have not been taught how to use effectively and it can be damaging to ourselves, our relationships and our reputation in the long-term if we do not learn to develop a healthy relationship with it.

Read the article at Red Diamonds Features on Medium, or through the news and reviews page on my site. 😠✨😡 ✨ 👌✨

My latest book The Art of Coming Home is available

My latest book The Art of Coming Home is available now (link in bio)! This is a guide containing some of the most important self-development information you need and an eclectic range of tools which will help you to build self-acceptance and self-compassion, learn to feel and listen to your emotions, work with your inner child, think more clearly and strengthen your connection to your body and spirit.

You will also gain access to extra resources on my site, which will help you to get the most out of your work with the book, including downloads, meditations and a companion guide.

I feel privileged to be able to put something out in the world that will support people in their journeys towards self-expression, self-love and fulfilment. I hope that you will be able to use the tools and resources to strengthen your own connection to your self, and it will be a useful step on your journey home.

It’s always good to remember just how good it is

It’s always good to remember just how good it is to be you. And if it doesn’t always feel good that’s ok, it’s just part of the human condition. I enjoyed listening to the interview with alaindebotton on the How to Fail podcast by elizabday. I think it’s important when talking about self-development work to remember we’re not aiming for perfection or to always feel happy, but to be ourselves. Some days that may look like being a boss and giving a talk to thousands of people and other days that might look more like crying gently in the loo while eating chocolate (hey, no judgement!). When you let people know you’re vulnerable, fallible or a bit weird in some way it gives them permission to let themselves off the hook a bit too. Giving us all a bit more breathing room and a bit of a break. So whether you’re having a great day or a meh one, I hope you’re being yourself and treating yourself with the respect and kindness you would show your friend’s beloved grandma. ❤️👵🙌 #selfcare #selfdevelopment #selfacceptance #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #quirky #artofcominghome

Happy International Non-Binary Day. I’ve learned so much from non-binary & trans friends of mine. One is non-binary legend alokvmenon & another is trans activist & icon ashleemariepreston both taught me a lot on the roots of white supremacy in transphobia & homophobia. In order for white folks to keep up their numbers & maintain their “majority” they needed to have plenty of white babies. By asssigning procreation & social function as the sole importance of the gender binary is the root of so much transphobic, homophobic and, RACIST ideologies oppressed people face. It’s literally killing us, especially black trans & non binary people. Gender non-conforming, Non-Binary, and Trans people have been around since the beginning of time. We aren’t a tool, we aren’t an object, we are humans who want to love and be loved like anyone. If your not working to end white supremacy in your celebration of “non binary day” then you aren’t doing it right. Follow black non binary & trans folks, follow People of color who are non binary & trans. Finally follow all gender non conforming & trans folks to find out how you can be a better ally. Here’s a few incredible people to follow today - joshuaobawole dr_ronx travisalabanza hellomynameiswednesday sinforvictory 📸 daniellelevitt shot for observer

Sometimes it feels safer to do nothing, but what do we really get from that? Recently I’ve been thinking about the hidden costs of not following our passion, interests or desire, maybe a sense of tiredness or even bitterness, a sharp edge creeping into our relationship with ourselves or with others, a feeling of not being worthy or not able to achieve. Working with people and on myself, I have found the best solution is to take small steps towards what you want - manageable enough to make it hard to make excuses, but large enough to change the way you feel. As you do this allow yourself to experience all the feelings that arise, notice when new ideas or possibilities start coming to you, see if your mood or energy levels shift. And most of all, forgive yourself for falling into a rut, being a person who experiences fear (and all the other flaws that make us human) and for not always feeling brave. Just accept yourself and where you, as well as where you want to go. And move towards it with self-compassion and love. 🌍 ✨ ❤️ #selfdevelopment #artofcominghome #selflove #suzannewylde #feelinghappyfeelingstrong

I enjoyed drawing this little girl starting to feel better as she takes care of herself and honours her feelings. I felt bad leaving her sad for so long! The drawing is slowly progressing and I am hopeful this book will help some kids to take good care of themselves.

I hope you are feeling good too, happy hump day!

It is worth remembering that even though change is

It is worth remembering that even though change is difficult and uncomfortable sometimes, if it helps us to express more of ourselves, be more truthful about what we really want or just feel free to live the way we need to to be happy - then by leaving the comfort zone we have been living in, we are actually coming home to ourselves.

The world needs us to do this, because fully-expressed, truthful and authentic people are not bigoted, prejudiced, small-minded, mean-spirited or self-serving - they create societies and systems that enable growth and expansion. Doing our own inner work can have powerful, unseen benefits that ripple across society. And when we bring those great qualities out and make them tangible, modelling them for some people, paving the way for others, we shine a light into a world in which some people are trying to use fear as currency, but it is a currency that evaporates and has to be constantly fuelled by untruths and hatred. So be strong, be you, be kind, do your work, and while acknowledging problems fully - keep your eyes firmly on where you want to go.

So proud of my book and ready for it to come out on the 31st of July, it’s been quite a journey!! I had the idea for the cover whilst thinking about how out-of-our-comfort zone self-development work can be and then how secure you feel when you find that you are more at home in yourself than ever before. This kind of work can be hard - it is ongoing, unpredictable and occasionally confronting. But to be able to speak up, make something of value, express our talents, support others and have fun doing it, it is essential that we learn to value and listen to our inner voice and truth. I hope my book will help to support some amazing people in doing that 🙌 🌍 🤝 ❤️ #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #selflove #selfcare #selfacceptance #thinking #bodyawareness #selfcompassion #selfesteem #processingemotions #emotions #innerchild #community #connection #bookstagram #book #theartofcominghome

I finished drawing this little girl today, poor thing she's not having the best time. Very much looking forward to Monday when I draw how she takes care of herself and starts feeling better! There’s a happy ending I promise 😉 💓

Feeling sooo spoiled today, just enjoying the hot weather, working on my kid’s book (slowly but surely as I’m not a pro illustrator) and listening to the #writingexcusespodcast with brandsanderson howardvtayler and authordanwells, very funny people! If you write at all I really recommend it. I also just finished Skyward and Warbreaker by Sanderson and if you’re into fantasy/ sci-fi they’re real page-turners. I’m also really looking forward to thecreativepennofficial live event on FB at 5 to kick off the weekend! Not so bad this writers life 😄 #authorsofinstagram #writingexcuses #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #summervibes #summerreading #selfdevelopment #kidsofinstagram

Really enjoying working on my children's book, spending my time drawing is a nice change and I think it's actually making me better at it! This space girl is the finished version of my sketch in the last post. I hope this is going to be a fun and exciting read for the little ones, packed with lots of types of kids - there should be something for everyone in this self-help book that focuses on self-acceptance and diversity.
