Manifestings for the soul

What are you carrying that you are not responsible for??

Look at the page - I purposefully left lots of blank space because we tend to fill all the space with being busy, problems to solve, things to get done.

How much of the things ypu carry, worry about, feel compelled to fix are you actually responsible for?
What would happen if you let some of it go?

It you took a breath and let other people be responsible for -
Their choices and the consequences of those choices.
Their roles in the home.
Their relationships with others.

Just breathe, look at the things in your life, hold each in your mind - Are you responsible for it?
Is it necessary?
Does it bring you joy?

Just a few things as don't want to overwhelm -

It's important to -

1. Know the signs of when you are heading for crisis / burnout -

and most of the time you already do! If you know the signs and you are starting to struggle and 'burn out' think about what has helped previously if you have struggled before -
Do you have a care / crisis plan for if you hit crisis again?
I can help you work on one - or ask your phychologist / counsellor to do one with you.

2. Know your limits - Pace yourself

- Do you know how much you can physically and mentally cope with in a day?
Plan accordingly - I have chronic pain now so I have to 'pace' myself and plan what I'm doing - if I do this well I function ok but if I push myself past my limits then I have to spend days in bed recovering (which loses me time).
If you know you can only handle 2 appointments a day - 1 before lunch and 1 in the afternoon and you need 2 days out of 7 to rest - try to stick to it (just an example).

3. Self care -
self care and self care - this looks different for everyone but what are the things that bring you Joy? Peace? Rest? Relaxation?
Do them -
Journalling
Art
Meditation
Mindfulness practices
Walks in nature
Exercise
Rest - naps, pacing
Connecting with others
Cooking
Hobbies
Creating order in your space
Prayer
Self care isn't always bubble baths and candles (for me it's a big part of it) it can be finishing off a job that you've been putting off - but do what you need 😊

- Your self care, rest time and mental health has to be a priority.

Where are you -
Are you thriving, just surviving or in crisis?
Do you have a support network?
Do you have a plan if things start to head into the orange and red zones?

Crisis plans can be really useful as we can think about our needs and plan it when we are in a good head space - but once in crisis it can be to hard to think what you need or what needs to happen.

If you want help with a plan it is something a counsellor or phychologist can support you in.

As a counsellor it is a useful tool to help people to know where they may have gaps if they have a crisis and need extra support - it can give you security and calm, peace that there is a plan in place if needed for your life.
