Hi! I’m Emma.

I’m a psychotherapist who lives, breathes and eats the science of joyfulness, wellness and achievement. I’m the Founder of A Life I Choose, a self-development agency that guides clients to amplify their strengths so they can overcome any challenge and create the life they really want.
All the strategy sessions, workshops and talks I give are fuelled by my deep wish to belong to a world where people actively choose their lives! A person without choice is an unhappy individual. A person who passionately and resiliently lives their purpose experiences joy and fulfilment daily.
If you’re like me and you see that the more people are actively engaging in life, the happier our world will be, then we need you to be a beacon of this message by living it! My blog is one of my ways of creating dialogue with you, so that together, we can have a greater impact on our world.
With love x

Just like we need to be physically fit to feel good about ourselves, we also need to be psychologically strong & flexible. How can we practice psychological fitness? I just uploaded a YT video where @jeremy_thisweekontherock interviews me on this very topic.

Sleeping in, reading and making pancakes. What a glorious way to spend a Sunday! What's your favourite thing to do on Sundays? 🙄👇❤ (Pancake recipe p.44 of @deliciouslyella new cookbook. GF, DF, refined-sugar-free.) #sunday #brunch #vegan #lifestyle
Food - it has so many different meanings for ppl: Togetherness, Discovery, Love, Comfort, Stress, Anxiety, Love/Hate, Torment, Torture, Healing, Repair, Beauty, Nourishment, Growth. Food has had all these meanings for me at some point in my life. At this point in time, it's healing and togetherness. I'd love to know what meaning food has for you right now. Let me know below and tag someone who'd enjoy this conversation 👇❤ Check out my "What I eat in a day" video. Link @emma_alifeichoose
I'm so grateful for the belonging, trust and laughter 😆 I share with my bestie @danzanima. Tag someone below whose friendship means the world to you 👇❤ #friendship
Fitting in is not the same as belonging. Fitting in is when I don't let u really see me in the hope that you'll like & accept me. Belonging is letting u really see me, knowing there's the possibility that u'll reject me and allowing space for that. Being seen is always scary. There's no way about it. We're biologically wired to fear rejection because we need to belong to survive. These evolutionary fears can play havoc on our relationships and sex lives when we're not aware of them. Sexual performance anxiety is one of the ways the fear of rejection manifests. Watch the video @emma_alifeichoose to learn more about why sexual performance anxiety happens and how to overcome it.

Last night was date night! Every fortnight Pete and I go out on a surprise date - we take turns planning and surprising each other. They're simple dates - dinner, drinks...Last night it was a drink, a movie and then some reggae at Notte Bianca. Where are your favourite date spots? 😍👇❤ #love #datenight
I don't know many men who don't wish they had deeper, richer connections with their loved ones, but have no clue how to make that happen. Is it really only women who want gender equality? I don't think so. We've all been raised to believe certain things about ourselves and the ppl around us. We become defined by the roles society teaches us are acceptable. Men learn to play tough. Women learn to be submissive. We can't expect society to change unless we begin to shift on an individual level. To do this we need to challenge the beliefs we hold about ourselves.

This is a message for all my fellow high-achievers... We set the standard, we meet it and we instantly raise the target. You know what I'm talking about. I love our energy, our drive, our striving for excellence. At the same time, when we constantly raise the bar, we can be left with a constant dissatisfaction that wears us down quick - nothing we do or anyone else does is good enough when we're in this space. That's why I dance. That's why I write down even the little achievements! A to-do list is no good if you don't pause to acknowledge the results you're achieving. To let it sink in and give thanks before moving onto the next target. It's an interesting process for me - trying to balance between constant striving and allowing some grace, ease and relaxation into my life. I need both. We all do. Allow some grace into your life this eve xx Pic taken @sanyamalta :) #ease #highachiever #entrepreneur #hustle #relax #psychotherapist #lifeandjoystrategist #lifestylestrategy #alifeichoose
When you're an ENTREPRENEUR, you're constantly out of your comfort zone and facing challenges. While this is awesome because you're constantly growing, it can get tiring and really stressful. That's why you've got to celebrate every victory! CELEBRATING and acknowledging the positive results you achieve will give you the MOMENTUM to keep moving forward and GROWING your business. Watch one of the ways I celebrate (Link @emma_alifeichoose )! Pete thinks it's hilarious I'm sharing this with you guys - but I do this almost every day and it's a big part of my movement forward. Let me know how you celebrate your achievements! 😁👇 #celebrate #entrepreneur #momentum #achievement #mindset #trainyourbrain #psychotherapist #scienceofachievement #lifestylestrategy #malta #alifeichoose
There's no sunshine today, so I'm uploading a pic I took on a very hot & sunny day. I love summer! But I like winter a little bit more! I love the warm cups of tea, snuggles on the sofa while watching a movie, and curling up with a good book while it rains outside....and ripped jeans! I just love my ripped jeans! Winter's the introvert's season! Totally my season 😄 What's your favourite season? 👇
Let love fuel your life 💛💛💛 Repost @jayshetty 🙏 #dogood #love #happiness #joy #lifeandjoystrategist #lifestylestrategy #psychotherapist #malta #alifeichoose
Public holiday vibes... 😁🤗 I'm totally back at my desk now! I just enjoy working too much! But I did go out for a juice with Pete where we got into a discussion about the feminist movement and how each one of us can contribute towards it being less male-aversive... Are we nerds??? 🤓 I posted a video last night where I spoke about this and I got some hate from some men who seemed to not even watch the video but were very intent on insulting me and the women in it. You can check out what I was talking about: Link @emma_alifeichoose How are you spending your public holiday?👇👇 #freetime #lifestylestrategy #psychotherapist #lifeandjoystrategist #malta #alifeichoose
When we don't allow ourselves to fantasize, our sex lives become dull and unfulfilling. Leaning into our fantasies expresses our need for growth and self-expansion. Who do you want to be tonight? And who does your partner want to be? Play - you'll have a blast!

The other day, Pete and I started arguing about something - what we were bickering abt neither of us was quite sure, but our emotions were speaking for us. I felt that the conversation was going nowhere good, so we paused it. I went to our bedroom to cool down. I was angry and hurt. I heard myself calling him an asshole in my mind. And I noticed that though I was attempting to "cool down", my face was scrunched into worry, my hand was over my face...I must have looked so dramatic! No one comes up with creative and empathic solutions with that kind of bodily state! So, I chose to shift my state: - I lay down with my hands by my sides. - I breathed deep a few times. - I listed 5 things I was grateful for: .the moon shining in through the curtains. .that it wasn't too hot! .my comfortable bed. .that we can afford a comfy bed. .that we have a home. .that I know that even though Pete and I were saying mean things to each other, all we really want is to connect with each other and belong. Acknowledging my gratitude shifted my state instantly. I went back to Pete calmer, more open to listening and empathising. We experience happiness by changing our attitudes, not by trying to change the ppl around us or the situations we find ourselves in. If you get what I'm saying, share how you shift your attitude below! 👇👇😊
Summer's alllllmmmmmoooosssttt over! As I hang onto the last couple of wks of sun-kissed skin and salty hair, I want to express my gratitude for the great summer I've had! I worked hard and I played hard! I'm grateful for the new and exciting projects, the beautiful ppl I've met, and most of all the wonderful time I got to spend with family and friends. What's something you're grateful for this summer? 😊🙏👇 #summer #gratitude #love #chooselife #lifestylestrategy #lifeandjoystrategist #psychotherapist #alifeichoose
