Your body remembers what your mind may forget.

Stress isn’t just in your head, it lives in the body too.

Tense shoulders, a racing heart, a constant sense of urgency, these can all be signs that your nervous system is working overtime.

Somatic approaches in therapy recognise that healing doesn’t come only from talking, but also from gently tuning in to your physical experience.

Try this simple somatic check-in today.

Small moments like this can become anchors.

You don’t have to do it all at once, just start by coming home to your body. 💙

If this resonates with you, our team at Calm Space can support you in reconnecting with your body, processing pain, and finding steadier ground — at your own pace.

Children borrow our nervous systems until they learn to manage their own.

If you’re feeling tense, rushed, or dysregulated, chances are your child can feel it too, even before a word is spoken.

🧠 What helps?
A small pause. A longer exhale. A hand on your chest.
These micro-moments of regulation can have a big impact.

Your calm becomes their calm.
And when calm isn’t possible, your self-compassion teaches them how to be kind to themselves too.

Our team at Calm Space can support you in finding steadier ground, not just for your children, but for you.

If you’ve ever noticed your child absorbing your stress, reacting to your tone, or reflecting your mood, you’re not imagining it. The parent–child bond is deeply wired in the brain.⁠ 🧠

The good news?
Your self-awareness, healing, and emotional regulation become powerful tools not just for your wellbeing, but for theirs too.⁠

This doesn’t mean you need to be perfect. It means that showing up, staying curious about your own patterns, and taking small steps towards emotional health can shape your child’s development in meaningful ways.⁠

💡 We invite you to try this today:
When you feel overwhelmed, take a pause and narrate it gently to your child:
“I’m feeling a bit flustered, so I’m going to take a few deep breaths to help my body calm down.”

This models emotional regulation and gives them language and permission to do the same.⁠

At Calm Space, we support parents in strengthening their own emotional tools, because when you thrive, your children benefit too.⁠

Messy mornings. Snappy words. Emotional outbursts, we’ve all been there. Parenting isn’t about perfection, it’s about repair.

What matters most is what happens next.
When you take a moment to reconnect — to say, “I got overwhelmed, I’m sorry. Let’s try again”, you’re helping your child build trust, resilience, and emotional safety.⁠

At Calm Space, we work with parents who want to break cycles and build connection, even through the tough moments.

Sometimes pain doesn't speak in words.

It shows up in tight shoulders, clenched jaws, shallow breaths, or a heavy feeling in the chest.

Our bodies often carry the weight of what our minds can't yet make sense of.

If you're noticing discomfort that won’t go away, take a moment today to pause and gently ask your body:

What do I need right now?

Try this:
Place your hand over your heart or on your belly.
Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 2, and breathe out for 6.
Do this three times.

No fixing, just noticing.

It’s not about getting rid of pain. It’s about learning to meet it with kindness.

We’ve got some wonderful children’s books in our Calm Space library – and it looks like someone definitely approves! 🐾📚

Pugsley’s top pick? Noodle and the No Bones Day – a story he clearly relates to. He’s a big fan of “No Bones Days” himself, especially when it’s chilly 🥶… you’ll usually find him curled up in bed, requesting snacks and belly rubs!

These stories are more than just fun – they’re a gentle way for children to explore feelings, resilience, connection, and the brain-body link. We love using books in sessions, and they’re always available in our kid-friendly spaces. 🌈

Which one are you most excited to read?

In our journey towards happiness, it's essential to recognise the impact of comparison on our well-being. Comparing ourselves to others can rob us of joy and contentment. 💔

Each individual's path is unique. We all have our own strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Instead of getting caught up in comparison, let's focus on our personal growth and celebrate our individual achievements, no matter how small they may seem. 🌺

Your journey is one of growth and discovery, and your worth is not defined by external comparisons. 💙

We encourage self-compassion and embracing our authentic selves. 🌟 There's only one of you!

Ever wonder why spending time with loved ones feels so incredibly fulfilling? 🥰

🧪 Our brains are master chemists, and when we engage in meaningful interactions with family and cherished friends, they release a duo of special chemicals: dopamine and oxytocin. These chemicals are like the superheroes of our emotions, working together to create those warm and fuzzy feelings we associate with love and connection. 🫂

😌 Dopamine, often called the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, floods our brain with pleasure and excitement. It's the joyful rush we experience during laughter, shared stories, and even just being in the presence of those who matter most. Dopamine enhances our mood, making these moments even more enjoyable.

🤗 Oxytocin, on the other hand, is renowned as the "bonding hormone" or "cuddle chemical." It deepens emotional connections, fostering trust, empathy, and a sense of closeness. Oxytocin's magic lies in its ability to strengthen the emotional bonds we share with our loved ones, whether it's family, friends, or that special someone. 💕

So, whether you're sharing a hearty laugh, enjoying quality time, or engaging in heart-to-heart conversations, remember that your brain is orchestrating this beautiful symphony of chemicals, enriching the connections that make life truly meaningful. 💙

Gratitude isn't just a buzzword; it's a potent tool for boosting your mental well-being. 🌟

Discover how practicing gratitude can add to your life:

✔️ Start a Gratitude Journal: Dedicate a few minutes daily to jot down things you're thankful for. It shifts your focus to the positive.

🙌 Express Appreciation: Tell loved ones how much they mean to you. 💌 A simple "thank you" can strengthen relationships.

🧘‍♀️ Mindful Moments: During meditation or your daily routine, pause and reflect on what you're grateful for. It calms the mind.

👀 Shift Perspective: Instead of dwelling on what's lacking, appreciate what you have. It reduces feelings of lack and envy.

😄 Spread Positivity: Acts of kindness create a ripple effect. 🌊 Share positivity, and watch it come back to you.

Gratitude isn't just about being thankful; it's a mindset shift that enhances your mental health. 🌻

🌟 Why Positive Self-Talk Matters 🌟

Your inner dialogue shapes your reality. 🗣 When you replace self-doubt with self-compassion, you pave the way for:

😌 Reduced Stress & Anxiety: When your inner dialogue is filled with self-compassion and positivity, you're less likely to engage in negative rumination. This reduces stress and anxiety as your mind focuses on solutions rather than problems.

🤝 Improved Self-Esteem: Positive self-talk boosts self-esteem by affirming your worth and capabilities. You start believing in your abilities, leading to a stronger sense of self-worth.

🌱 Enhanced Resilience: A positive inner dialogue encourages resilience by framing challenges as opportunities for growth. You're more likely to bounce back from setbacks with a "can-do" attitude.

💪 Greater Emotional Resilience: Positive self-talk equips you with emotional resilience. It helps you manage difficult emotions with self-compassion and understanding, reducing emotional turmoil.

💡 Heightened Problem-Solving: Positive self-talk promotes a solution-focused mindset. Instead of dwelling on problems, you're more inclined to seek and implement effective solutions.

In essence, your inner dialogue acts as the lens through which you perceive and respond to life's challenges. 👓

When that dialogue is positive and self-affirming, it empowers you to navigate stress, build self-esteem, adapt to adversity, manage emotions, and approach problem-solving with confidence. 🌸
