The number of benefits that a good night’s sleep provides is quite amazing. It boosts memory, supports learning, improves heart health, keeps your immune system strong and supports weight management, just to name a few.

However, Revenge Bedtime Procrastination (RBP) can negatively impact the quality of your sleep.

RBP is when we intentionally or unintentionally put off preparing to sleep in an attempt to reclaim personal freedom during the late hours.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have seen a rise in this behaviour, particularly in specific groups of people, such as:

🥱 Busy parents of young children
🥱 People experiencing occupational stress and burnout
🥱 People with very little time for self-care due to demanding jobs or a desire to constantly help others
🥱 People suffering from anxiety
🥱 People who struggle with procrastination
🥱 Preteens and teens trying to gain a sense of control over their lives.

If this is something that you struggle with and you want to take positive steps towards improving your habits, visit www.psychologyperspective.com.au to find out how our therapists can help you.

A common myth that we often hear people say is: “I don’t need therapy because my issues aren’t serious enough.”

But this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Therapy is for everyone looking to improve their mental health, manage stress or gain new perspectives.

Whether you are navigating through major life changes, seeking personal growth or just need someone to talk to, Let us help you see things differently.

Don't wait for things to become overwhelming. It's always a good time to prioritise your wellbeing. Visit www.psychologyperspective.com.au to see how we can help you.

We specialize in First Responder Trauma/PTSD, Pain, Identity and Sexuality, Bullying/Harassment, Court Matters/Forensics, Anxiety, Depression, and more.

You need three daily wins to help your well-being thrive - a physical win, a mental win and a spiritual win.

Physical Win 🏃🏼‍♂️
Start your day with a simple exercise routine like a 10 minute stretch. Make sure you stay hydrated throughout the day and go for a quick walk during your lunch break. Simple routines like this will boost your energy, productivity and mood.

Mental Win 📖
Engage in activities that stimulate your brain. This can include anything from reading a book or article, or practicing mindfulness for 10 minutes. You could even pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill. Giving yourself these mental wins will keep your brain sharp and engaged.

Spiritual Win 🧘🏼‍♀️
Ensure spiritual wins with some simple techniques that help you connect with your inner self. Write down a few things that you are grateful for each day to shift your focus to the positive, spend time outdoors and take 5 minutes to reflect on your day to stay aligned with your values and goals.

How often do you have hard talks? Each one can lead you closer to success.

As author Tim Ferriss said, "A person's success can be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations they're willing to have."

🦋 Ask for that raise.
🦋 Tell the truth when it's tough.
🦋 Share your feelings.

These talks shape us.
Let's not run from them.
Let's face them.
And let's grow.

When you are choosing a therapist, there are a few things to consider to ensure you have a positive and constructive experience.

✅ Reflect on what you are hoping to achieve from your therapy sessions and find a therapist who is aligned with your goals. The values and experience of your therapist can make a significant difference to the outcome you achieve.

✅ Evaluate several potential therapists. Ask yourself if you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable with each therapist. You may even be looking to utilise a specific therapeutic approach in which only a few therapists specialise.

✅ Give thought to your readiness and commitment to engage in self-exploration and growth. It can be difficult for people to achieve a successful outcome in therapy if they are not ready to reflect, be vulnerable and be open to change.

The decision to start therapy is an empowering and brave step towards healing and choosing a therapist that is aligned with your goals can make a big difference in getting you the support you deserve! 💚
