What’s your attachment style? 🧠💭
Understanding how you connect, protect, and react in relationships is the first step to growing deeper intimacy — with yourself and your partner.

Your attachment style isn’t a label — it’s a lens. One that can shift with awareness, safety, and love. 💞

✨ Whether you’re Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, or Disorganized….

When was the last time you really stopped all the thinking?

Getting outside in the fresh air does wonders not just for your body, it helps your mind.

Sometimes, a slow walk, a stillness, a release from all the thinking is enough to help you start to feel refreshed and revitalised. Ready to face life’s challenges.

Walking does wonders for us: mind, body & soul ☺️

Go on, walk through the gate 🌿

How are you doing today? Has anyone asked you how you’re really doing? Would you tell them if they did? Talking to someone professional, can help you make sense of those feelings that you’ve been struggling with recently. Someone to hear you and work with you, so that you can understand what you need to move forward.

So true! How we talk to ourselves really matters. If we constantly tell ourselves that we aren’t valued or worthy, then that negative voice impacts us and we start to believe it!

This is the most important choice we make 💯 Clipped from my time on @

This is your weekend reminder.

Those negative thoughts don’t deserve space.

There’s only one place they need to be…

You know where you need to put them.

Rid yourself of negative thoughts and have a weekend you deserve.

There is no better time than right now to take care of yourself, it’s not selfish it’s a necessity ✨

Promise you’ll look after you 💜

For some people, taking compliments doesn’t come easily. The voice in our head, our inner critic, shies away from them 😔

But part of connecting with each other, an important part in fact, is knowing how to accept them. To appreciate the kind words and feelings that have been expressed.

Yes, it can feel awkward.

You may even dismiss the compliment entirely or make less of it due to embarrassment. But accepting them is key to building your relationships and quieting that negative inner voice.

So I challenge you to take note, accept and absorb the compliment the next time you receive one 😌

You deserve it 🤍

A very quick and simple way to help ease anxiety is the 3-3-3 technique 🙂

☆ Focus on your surroundings and name 3 things you can see

☆ Then what 3 sounds can you hear

☆ And lastly move 3 parts of your body, a leg, finger, arm…

By doing the 3-3-3 technique, you are calming your mind down from the racing thoughts and bringing your whole self back into the present moment 🙌

Save this post so you can try it for yourself ✨

This is a tip that can help you feel calmer when you are suffering from anxiety 🌱

Down regulation is where you switch your focus from what’s causing you anxiety and instead focus your attention on something that makes you happy 🙂

You take the heavy energy and turn it into something calmer & lighter. This could be:

☆ Taking a walk on the beach and watching the waves

☆ Spending time with a pet and taking comfort in being together

☆ Reading a good book and getting lost in the pages

Focus your attention on what brings you joy.
