Going beneath the surface of Men’s mental health!

Erikson theorised that people go through 8 stages of developement in life, overcoming certain crises to gain virtues. During Adolescence, discovering one's gender identity is highly crucial to development, and usually occurs during stage 5 of Erikson's Identity vs. Role Confusion stage.
However, a few years ago, whilst researching for a psychology dissertation, I delved into my thoughts and formulated a reasonable explanation (to myself at least) as to why men were feeling so challenged in the modern age!

I felt that Eriksons 5th stage
‘Identity vs. Role Confusion’
could be applied to Men and Women in our society and the modern age.

Men are losing their identity in society due to a decrease in the masculine role within domestic life and the wider society.
Historically, men had the role of ‘getting out there and bringing home the bacon’ … nowadays however, men are not the sole breadwinners.
Men and Women’s roles have changed dramatically and in some cases gender roles have become nonexistent regarding jobs, relationships and responsibilities.

So what does that mean for Men?
Well, I’m concerned that Male su***de has increased dramatically, it also concerns me that men are being stripped of their identities and finding themselves in the zone of ‘Identity vs. Role Confusion’
which leads some men to develop mental health problems due to feeling unappreciated, stressed, depressed, unable to talk about their problems and withdrawing into themselves.

Support is available.
Please seek support if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed in your life.
I applaud all services who are reaching out to men and helping them through their difficulties.

💖I Am Grateful for Today💖

30/04/2025

Hi all… Floral Gardening has given me such joy, especially during my Menopause… helping to regulate my body and mind… so I wrote a blog to help other women to find solace in gardening for menopause wellness.

🌸Each season brings its own beauty and it's never too late to plan your beautiful seasonal garden blooms.

🌸Even if you've never tried gardening... even if you're a novice gardener... even if you have a small garden area... you can successfully plan your garden with 4 floral plants for each season and enjoy the sensory experiences in your garden, from the smell of flowers to the touch of soil, contributing to a positive mind-body connection.

🌸Consider a "Blooms of Tranquility" garden featuring calming and heat-tolerant flowers like lavender, chamomile, and roses. Include shaded seating areas for relaxation and a variety of textures to engage the senses.

🌸Plan low-maintenance plants to accommodate varying energy levels. Additionally, incorporate herbs like sage and mint, known for their potential benefits during menopause.

🌸Which floral plants have you always wanted
in your garden?
🌸Which plants do you already have?

🌸You're very welcome to join the conversation, share your blossoms
and begin your own 'Blossoming Through
Menopause' transformational journey in my private group…

:::Gratitude and Stress:::
Stress is our body’s natural response to change – be that good or bad. Positive stress or eustress brings us joy and is usually the least of our concerns. Unforeseen setbacks trigger negative stress or distress. We consider it as toxic and want to get rid of it.

Gratitude: A natural detox

Robert Emmons, a well-known mental health specialist, conducted several studies on stress and health which indicated that gratitude effectively releases stress hormones and increase positive emotions like happiness. Commitment to daily gratitude practice reduces an array of negative emotions and is a natural stress detox for the mind and body.

Hello October 2024 🍂💛🍁🧡🍁🤎🍂

02/08/2024

Recently, when I suggested Floral Gardening to a client, she asked,
“How does floral gardening help with menopause?”

She didn’t realise that Floral gardening can provide therapeutic benefits during menopause by offering a calming and stress-relieving low impact activity.

Also, engaging in floral gardening can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote a sense of accomplishment, contributing to overall well-being during menopause transitional life stage.

Additionally, being outdoors and connecting with nature positively impacts mental and emotional health during the menopausal transition.

Happy Floral Gardening🌸
