C.S. LEWIS
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Having recently seen The lion, the witch and the wardrobe in the West end, I thought this was an apt quote.

When things are at their worst, it's hard to imagine it will get better, but they will, you just have to realise they will.

I am fine, I am okay.

Two of the biggest lies we tell ourselves and other people everyday.

What would happen if we said we weren't okay and we weren't fine.

If you said, actually I am not fine, do you fancy a chat, or a catch up over a coffee, you may be suprised at the positive response.

If you asked for help when you needed it, instead of saying you are okay, what would happen?

I'm fine, i'm okay are the common responses when someone asks you if you are okay, it's okay to admit you are struggling, you are not okay, you need a friendly ear, a catch up over coffee, just some time to vent your feelings.
Give it a try.

Try these daily affirmations to boost your self esteem.

We are often hard on ourselves, but what if we start the day with positive affirmations.
Starting the day with positive thoughts will change your whole day, why not give this a try.

What is your go to saying or song that gives you a boost when you need it?

Spring has Sprung 🌸🌺🌷🌼🌹🌞

With the brought a change in weather with some warmth.

With the spring starting it’s been a week of getting out with friends, being social and seeing the plants and flowers coming through.
On Saturday went to a new parkrun at where they keep the seed bank. Saw get her fastest parkrun since before her knee ops, always great to cheer her on👏

Sunday I joined friends and met up with a huge turnout at the community event in a local woods in Kent. It’s a good event to meet new people, and even had the first ice cream of the year in the sun!

Theses are just a few of the locations I use for Walk & Talk counselling.

Being out in nature helps relaxation, promotes a sense of calm and reduces stress.

Walking in nature can help us if we feel stuck or trapped and help with the flow of our thoughts & emotions.

Being connected to nature can be beneficial, walk & talk therapy can help with depression and anxiety, loss and grief or any kind of difficult life transitions you may be facing – personal, relationship-based, family or work related.

Walking in nature can help to ground you.

Understanding failure not as a setback but as a crucial part of learning and evolving as a person.

Albert Einstein - "Failure is success in progress.". This means that setbacks and failures are not the end, but rather stepping stones on the path to achieving success.

Fail - we all fail and stumble, its a natural part of every journey.
Acknowledge - admitting failure is the first step towards personal growth.
Investigate - Look at the reasons behind the setback
Learn - take lessons from your experience
Understand - take what you have learned and try to see the bigger picture.
Reassess - use what you have learned to adjust your strategies
Evolve - the final transformation, where you come out smarter, stronger and more resilient, it's about growing into a better version of yourself.

I found this great quote from Elliot Knight

We can be told repeatedly that we are loved and worthy, often the comments that linger in our minds are the negative comments.
Have you ever looked at reviews and gone straight to the negative reviews.
Sometimes its easier to look for the negative rather than the positive, but what if we make the effort to look for the positives in life.

How often do we judge ourselves and others by a number, dress size, property value, age, or weight?

Numbers do not define us or others.

This week is Nutrition and hydration week.

Here are a few examples of how food and drink can affect how you are feeling and your mood.

The link between nutrition and mental health is complex, however research shows a link between what we drink and eat and how we feel.

👍Eat regularly. This can stop your blood sugar level from dropping, which can make you feel tired and bad-tempered.

🥛Stay hydrated. Even mild dehydration can affect your mood, energy level and ability to concentrate.

🥕Include more whole grains, fruits and vegetables in your diet. They contain the vitamins and minerals your brain and body need to stay well.

🥚Include some protein with every meal. It contains an amino acid that your brain uses to help regulate your mood.

🙂Look after your gut health. Your gut can reflect how you’re feeling: it can speed up or slow down if you're stressed. Healthy food for your gut includes fruit, vegetables, beans and probiotics.

☕️Be aware of how caffeine can affect your mood. It can cause sleep problems, especially if you drink it close to bedtime, and some people find it makes them irritable and anxious too. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks and chocolate.

Feeling awful about yourself doesn't make you try harder, it has the opposite effect, it puts you on the defensive and sends you into a spiral of self criticism.

If you learn to be compassionate to yourself when you have negative emotions, like shame and self criticism, you are in a better place to make choices that work for you.

If a thought is swirling around your head, put the thought on paper, this can help to take the emotion out of it, read it back, break down the thought and challenge the statement to yourself.
