Happy New Year to you all!!
I’ve been away for a little while almost in hibernation over the gloomy winter days whilst I take stock and practice what I preach to my clients; to practice self love and care.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Adenomyosis in my womb and most likely also have endometriosis which is a chronic disease and very painful and unfortunately is incurable.

We all know how important good health is and how poor health can impact ourselves and our life’s.

All illnesses effect the whole body, effecting us both mentally and physically and I’ve been on my own journey with this.

I’m back working now as helping others really helps me and we all need support and guidance in life, especially for the bumps in the road that are inevitable.

Saw this quote and it felt right to me and wanted to share. We all have our struggles in life and if we are able to face them, feel them and deal with them in a constructive and positive way we can heal ourselves and that right there is a beautiful thing.

So here’s to 2022 being a even better year for health, wealth not as in money) and self love.

Stop and take a minute to ask yourself these questions when your anxious!!!

Hypnosis can help to overcome grief and loss.

Hypnotherapy is a way of giving yourself the time to find some calm and peace for yourself. It will allow you to process your grief, but at a pace that is right for you. Hypnosis is a great way to help you overcome grief and loss and reach a stage where you can enjoy the memories of your loved one without being overcome by the pain of missing them.

There is nothing scary or strange about hypnosis and you will not lose control of your own thoughts. In fact, just the opposite. You will gain more control over the way you grieve and think about your loss. Really, it is just a way of becoming deeply relaxed so that you can calm your mind and teach your brain to focus on the positive love you shared, rather than on the sadness of your grief.

Brilliant podcast on with and the amazing

Speaks so many truths. Definitely worth a listen. How to build healthy habits daily in our own self dialogues.

I definitely can relate to all these things on here, people pleasing and not feeling as good as others, constantly doubting your own capabilities and focusing on the 1 negative statement someone says rather than the 20 other positive comments people give you.

Deep down it comes from a good place not wanting to disappoint all those or yourself wanting to always try to do your best and be competent and make the smile.

But over the years I’ve been able to come to terms with the fact it’s okay to make mistakes, to keep learning, to understand that not everybody is going to like or agree with you and that if they did you’d have to have the blandest personality out.

it’s okay to show vulnerability, to not know everything, to not please everyone.

I feel as I get older and work more on myself it’s beginning to get easier to except myself who and what I am.

therapy certainly helps with this and I love to help others going through the process to. I’m not gonna lie though I’m only human and some days it’s easier than others.

What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings and sensations. The idea is to allow thoughts, feelings and sensations to come and go, without judgement or the need to do anything with them.

How mindfulness helps
Given that the unconscious brain is in charge of most of our decision-making and behaviors, this practice can help you align your conscious thinking with a primal emotional drive that the lower centers care about. Beyond safety, these include motivations like reward, connection, purpose, self-identity and core values.

How to practice mindfulness 🧘🏼‍♀️
- turn off phones, computers any technology around you
- find a quiet-ish place in nature or even in your bedroom
- close your eyes or find a point in nature to look at and focus on
- if your eye are closed focus on the rhythm of the breath
- if there open look at the object or surroundings around you notice not only how things look, but how they feel, smell the noises around you
- practice practice practice, the more you practice the better you become with quieting you mind

Imagine if you gave yourself as much time as you gave your social media account!!!! Just a thought 💭

Love ❤️ this!!!

I see so many clients for work stress and the load they carry, that’s not only within the 9-to-5 hours but then their constantly bombarded with emails, video calls, messages like WhatsApp and then having social media pages. It can simply be too much!!!

Like most things in life in order to feel happiness we have to create a balance, it’s good to be conscientious to strive and push yourself but then at times we need to reset, take a moment to slow down take a breath.

So whatever you do today, remember to just take five, take five minutes out of the hustle and bustle so just sit with yourself be in the moment notice your surroundings, be content with yourself, noticed the wonderful things your body does for you each day without any praise or thought, give yourself that rest you deserve.

There’s a real chill in the air today I can feel that change if the seasons autumn 🍂 is coming!! I love autumn the coziness and the changing of the leaves it’s a beautiful time of year and allows us the preparation for winters harshness. Today I’m getting snug in the therapy room lighting candles, letting in the warmth and have the heating on. What’s your favourite season? 🍃🌷🍂❄️

Not posted in a while been taking a break from social media and taking a step back. To be more present and in the moment. Today we went on a hike with friends and enjoyed nature and some wonderful views. Being amongst the trees and streams grounds you. 💚

Your mind is your own superpower, there is nothing more powerful. 🧠

Been listening to the amazing audiobook and podcast by this guy is phenomenal, real powerhouse and is certainly helping me push myself out of my comfort zone with running 🏃‍♀️

I have the upmost respect ✊ He didn’t have a great start in life but he pushed on and turned that negative energy into drive.

Definitely worth a read especially if you feel like something in life is holding you back from achieving your goals.
