Treat Yourself Like a Houseplant

You are basically a houseplant. You need sufficient water, nutrients and sunlight.

Water is essential for a healthy body and mind. Every organ and cell requires hydration to function well.

Water helps you to:-

*Think clearly and process
information

* Maintain healthy vision, skin and
hair.

* Can aid weightloss. We may feel hungry when we are really thirsty. The signals can be misread.

Spring Is Here 🌷

It's officially the first day of Spring and the Spring Equinox.

The blossom is appearing on the trees, the daffodils are blooming and new born lambs can be seen in the fields.

Spring is the time for growth and new beginnings as we leave Winter behind

Time to sow the seeds for new beginnings and growth.

Believe in Yourself - Round-Up the Horses 🐎

Round-up the wild horses and stop giving them 'free-rein' when they seek to create feelings of 'not being good enough' or failing at something.

Five Tips

* Be kind, positive and
accepting of yourself.

* Your experience and life story is
one of a kind.

* You are always learning and
growing.

* You have overcome many
problems or difficult days to-date.

* You are enough, you always were
and always will be enough.

SWITCH OFF Negative Nellie or Negative Norman as soon as they start the negative mind-chatter.

Above all be kind to yourself and 'mind your language - keep it positive.!!!

Spend time with people who encourage and support you.

Show up each day and just do what can however that looks.

Life brings challenges at various times for everyone. The key is to not give up and seek support when you need it.

Do what you can without judging yourself.

Pour Yourself A Cup of Positivi-Tea

Time for a Monday morning cup of tea - Yorkshire Tea 🍵 for me.

🍵 What do you need to pour into your cup today?

Self-belief, confidence, knowing that you are enough, your feelings are valid and you matter.

🍵 Stop putting your needs at the bottom of the cup. You deserve and need emotional support too.

Neglecting your own emotional needs never helps you to feel good about yourself.

🍵 Fill Your Own Cup First - unlimited top-ups.

We are not being selfish but compassionate when we learn to put our needs at the top of the cup.

Enjoy a relaxing Sunday with your wellbeing at the heart of it however that looks for you.

Let Go and Soar

End of the week 'empty the old to bring in the new'.

The longer you hold onto the past the harder it is for you to fly into your future.

Rise above the past and visualise yourself being the Eagle soaring above the mountains to gain a new sense of perspective.

Scattered Thoughts Are Scattered Energy

If your mind is whirling here are some simple tips to direct your attention to a single focus at a time.

Visual Focus

This beautiful creamy white crocus is perfect to direct your visual attention. Notice the shape of the petals, the bright orange of the stamens in the centre and the contrasting green foliage.

Physical Focus - Ribcage Breathing

A calming focus for mind and body

Connects you back to your body and reassures your anxious brain that you are taking action.

Place your hands on your lower ribs with your fingertips touching. Notice the warmth as you hold them there for a few seconds before you slowly and gently inhale through your nose.

As you inhale become aware of your ribs expanding sideways and the fingertips may part just a little.

Hold the breath for a slow count of 3 or more if it's ok for you. Slowly exhale through the lips, the lungs will deflate and the fingertips come back together. Pause before you repeat the next in-breath.

One Task At A Time

To calm anxious thoughts focus on completing a simple task that is on your 'definitely can do this one' list. Congratulate yourself before moving on to the next do-able task.

Repeat the ribcage breathing as often as you need throughout the day. It helps clear the lungs too.

These are just some of the strategies I have shared with many group's and individuals over the last 23 years.

Your Energy Is Your Most Valuable Asset

How often do you rush around literally scattering your energy here, there and everywhere?

Do you feel energised or depleted?

Do you find yourself experiencing mental exhaustion as you struggle to process information?

Eight Tips To Help You Maintain Your Energy

🌷 Prioritise tasks - to avoid energy crashes.

🌷 Be clear about how essential it is for this task to be completed now.

🌷 Will anyone suffer if you don't it right now?

🌷 Stop being at the beck and call of others. You will be surprised at how often people can and will sort things out for themselves

🌷 Become aware of how your energy levels are affected when in the company of some people. If you feel drained - work on limiting the time you spend in their company.

🌷 Clear the mind-clutter at the end of each day. Close your eyes and take 5 minutes to slowly breathe in and out and focus on releasing anything from the day that happened during the day and can't be changed.

🌷 Stay well-hydrated.- hydration levels affect our physical and emotional health and energy levels.

🌷 Eat a well-balanced diet - protein, vegetables and fruit are key. Be aware of avoiding too much refined sugar throughout the day. It causes blood sugar highs and sharp dips.

For Good Health - Empty The 🪣 🪣

What Are You Holding On To?

🌟Focus on what you need to eliminate - take 5 minutes to sit and notice what 'emotion' has been adversely affecting your emotional balance?

🌟What have you been holding on to?

* Resentment
* Anger
* Blame
* Guilt
* Regret
* Worry

🌟Choose To Let It Go Now

Improve your health and life by choosing to let go of your attachment to the situation that evoked the emotion/s and grant yourself the freedom from it.

You can write it down with the awareness that you are now choosing to release yourself from the emotional attachment.

🌟Burn it or Bin It

You choose the best option for you

Visualisation 🪣

Visualise it being removed from your mind and body as you mentally drop it into the bin knowing that it will be disposed of today.

Burn It🔥

Take your paper outside and burn it - knowing that as it burns you are no longer attached to the energy-field of the situation.

However you choose to do it know that you will feel clearer and lighter.

You can use this to help you clear old unhelpful beliefs on any day of the week.

05/03/2023

Take time to notice what you most need today.

Do you need to be more active and enjoy being outside in nature?

Do you need to sit quietly and enjoy being absorbed in a book?

Do you need to do something creative today - painting, writing, crafting or music based?

Listening to what your mind and body want will make life more enjoyable and relaxing for you even if it means doing something new.

Congratulations on everything you have achieved this week.

Whether you showed up when you felt 'meh' or you recognised that you needed to step back and breathe through the challenges.

Appreciate your unique gifts and talents.

The world needs your energy.

Let it shine out there - you can boost someone's day, and yours, by sharing a smile.😊

Small Things Bring Joy🌞

Noticing the small things can brighten the day and boost your wellbeing.

Next time you go for a walk or step into your garden - actively notice what's around you.

I'm always uplifted by the flowers that appear throughout the year with each season.

These bright beautiful cyclamen were spotted on a visit to Sledmere Gardens at the weekend.

Nature never fails to bring delights each day but we have to give our attention to what's there.🌷

It's not the big things in life.
It's noticing all the little things
where true enjoyment lies.
If you REALLY look, it's all beautiful.

Clear Out The Clutter

A great reminder that if we want to make changes in our lives we have to let go of something that we no-longer need or serves our purpose.

Take some time to tune-in and see what you need to change.

Do you need to clear out the physical clutter or is it time to do a mind de-clutter.

Don't be afraid to make changes to help you move forward. If you keep doing the same things then nothing can change.

Think of 3 easy steps you could take to help you clear the space and think about how much lighter life will feel.

Are You Holding Yourself Back?

Getting out of our own way by holding onto old beliefs, thoughts, behaviours and versions of ourselves is how we hold ourselves back.

It may feel scary to think about making changes in how we act and interact with the world but if we want our lives to be different and not an endless repetition of 'same old, same old' we have to do something different and be the agent of change.

Make One Simple Change

Start with something you can change. Perhaps you could start with a 5 minute quiet breathing and gratitude practice in the morning before you start the day. This helps to balance the mind and body so you start off feeling in alignment with yourself before engaging with the external world.

Take a moment to think about any daily habits you have slipped into that truthfully hold you back and would benefit from some thoughts around why you repeat them.
