Following on from our last post, I’d like to share one of my favourite quotes about transitions… “Times of transitions are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, to rethink priorities and be intentional about creating new habits. We have the power to create a new ‘normal’ however we want it to look” - Kristen Armstrong

“A transition is not a single event, but it is a process” 💭 reflect on the transitions you have had in the last 12 months, have you changed jobs? moved homes? Often we do not give ourselves enough time to sit with these emotions of mourning the old and welcoming the new

And for our children growing into adults, in those tricky teenage years where it’s common to hear “oh they’re just going through a phase” .. but is it just a phase? Is there something deeper occurring that may be hard for these growing souls to understand and comprehend let alone verbalise? And how can art help this expression? We have an online course to help you use art as a tool to allow self expression for children and adults at all stages of life 🎨🎨

For our primary school children, reflect on the children around you at this stage of life.. if you noticed these behaviours would “a trauma response” be something that would come to mind as a possible cause… 💭💭💭

Little signs that are often overlooked in our little preschoolers, are you seeing these behaviors in your children or the children in your care?

“may the flowers remind us why the rain is so necessary” - Xan Oku

Why art therapy? Simply this, because it can permeate the very deepest parts of us - it gives us a way of expressing our emotions when we cannot find the words to do so. It is a fundamentally non-intrusive approach to bringing unconscious content within the artwork to awareness 🎨

What made you smile today? A real smile … a student sent in this photo to us today saying that this is what made her smile, newfound native bush flowers growing on her usual walk with her dog 😊✨

Self compassion… a concept often broken up into 3 parts;
* Mindfulness: recognising when you’re stressed or struggling without overreacting and being judgemental of yourself.
* Self-kindness: being supportive and understanding yourself during a difficult time rather than being self critical.
* Humanity: recongising that you are not alone in the mistakes you might make or the difficulties you may face

Reflection prompt… Who are the people in my life who are nonjudgmental, trustworthy and genuinely have my heart in mind?

Where do you see art in your life? For me, I see art in the vibrant colours in poppies, in the way the sunshine makes me feel and the way my puppy and I communicate without words ✨❤️

Do you know the story of the ? The golden Buddha in this story is a metaphor for the potential that's hidden inside each of us. Each of us is gold on the inside, often we just have to chip away at an outer layer of clay to get to the gold! ✨✨

todays little reminder 🎨

15/10/2022

A reminder that self care looks different for everyone, and it’s not always about pampering, often it’s about asking yourself what you truly need in a certain moment and living that out, for yourself

It’s ok to not be ok ❤️ happy world mental health day ✨✨
