😩It's only Tuesday morning - how are you feeling?

Such an effort to get yourself out of bed when you don't feel great - I can remember the mornings when it was tough to lift your head off the pillow. When the emotions were running high and we still had to get to school and get to work.

🥺When you are lying in bed it feels horrific but when you get up and face life it can feel even worse.

The frustration and impatience, the irritation, the socks in the wrong place, the spilt milk, the cereal on the table and then there's the dishwasher to deal with.

Then you start to think about work..... how are you going to put a front on to hide how you feel.

Can you remember everything you need to do today - hide the brain fog.

Not shout at anyone else when the workload just gets too much!

Manage to disguise how you really feel - and how soon at 5 pm arrive so you can run back home.

Do you have someone you can talk to?

Is your boss aware of the possibility of you being perimenopausal or menopausal?

Would you like to tell them? Are you worried about the reaction?

You should be able to tell someone so they can arrange to get help.

Maybe you could try gently to find a pathway through....

If you are struggling we, at on the Blink are very happy to help you.

👉We offer a series of awareness training courses for all businesses. AND on top of that we are holding an awareness session at Chichester College on 24th September at 11.00 till 12.30, there is coffee and a beautiful selection of danish pastries too.

How do you sleep?

Do you find it hard to switch off?

Does your mind work constantly and do you suffer from continual headaches?

This remedy has been incredibly useful to me over the past few months while my mum has been so poorly – the remedy is White Chestnut. The Thought Flower.

Also, the flower to bring you a quiet mind and contribute to a good night’s sleep.

Dr Bach said of the White Chestnut that it would take you “from the mental merry-go-round to mental quiet” , this is oh so true, for me its about stopping the mind monkeys – for finding the peace inside your head.

Take the example for instance of having a disagreement at work that has not been resolved to your satisfaction – when you go home you are likely to continue to ponder these thoughts – repeatedly you will ask whether you have done the right thing. These thoughts will whirl around in your head for the rest of the evening and probably disturb your sleep, but equally return in the morning.

If you are like this and prone to poor sleep then White Chestnut is the remedy for you. It is particularly at night when we lie down and our body stops doing everything else and the mind has nothing else in it that the mind monkeys start to jump about making a noise and preventing sleep.

White chestnut will allow you to have your inner peace and quiet, sleep properly and concentrate properly on all you need to do.

I can also highly recommend the Rescue Night Remedy which has the properties of the Rescue Remedy but with the addition of White Chestnut. It is just a delight to be able to enjoy a decent nights’ sleep.

Sleep well.

Facts for Friday

Did you know that one of the 38 Bach Flower remedies does not actually come from a flower!

The remedy is Rock Water, the remedy for rigidity and self-denial is made by the sun method.

Water can be taken from any healing sprint but it must be free of human interference, so it has to be remote and a long way from areas of habitation. This will minimise the possibility of any pollution.

The water is left in the sun for a few hours and then preserved with 40% grape alcohol.

The remedy is perfect for those who are naturally hard on themselves, follow strict regimes - they are renown for the abstinence from pleasure as it may interfere with their strict regime.

So this is the one remedy that does not come from a flower

In this month of su***de prevention I am drawn to share this testimonial that takes me back 4 years.

How I helped this lady after the sudden, dreadful and shocking death of her husband while they were abroad.

The story was long and naturally incredibly traumatic but the pain was real both for her and their son.

To watch and listen to how someone's whole life just disappeared before their eyes was nothing short of devastating.

Over some months we worked together to help ease her pain and that of her son's and they came out the other side - naturally it's been tough but these are her words about how the Bach flower Remedies helped ease her pain.

"I have personally used Ros and her Bach remedies and I found them extremely helpful and I highly recommend her expert advice she really helped me through the most horrendous time of my life when my Darling Brian died 💔💔 so suddenly!

"The heartbreak was overwhelming and I was very close to joining him as I could see no end it it. Without Ros Thompson help who knows what would have become of me as I was so terribly lost with the mass devastation of it all…… Ros💕💕 thank you for everything"
I am grateful everyday for the amazing power of the wonderful Bach Flower remedies that I am able to work with.
They bring some joy to the sadness that so many experience, the huge power of these beautiful flower remedies never fails to amaze me."

These are the direct words from the client and pain is clear to feel - if you know of anyone who is in pain amidst grief and sadness and could use some help and support please message me.

If you would like to learn more please contact me and we can talk.

I feel so low how can a flower remedy help me - a question I am often asked! In Su***de Awareness Month let's look please.

What can they achieve for me? What do they treat? How can they help me?

For this post I want to explain gently just that – answer some of the questions: -

What can the remedies achieve for me?

They can help to ease fears of many types, fear of the known, unknown, terror, fear of overconcerned for others and fear of loss of control of emotions – let me explain little more.
🌱The fear of the unknown is related to those emotions of dread and fear that you cannot explain, here we use Aspen.
🌱The fear of the known is very straightforward in many ways – if you can put a name on it – then Mimulus is your answer.
🌱Terror – fright or flight mode – we use Rock Rose to ground you and remove the panic.
🌱Some of us are always worried about other - and for this we use Red Chestnut – this is to enable you to put yourself first, think less about others and move about yourself.
🌱The last fear – fear of loss of control of emotions – this is when your feelings are taking over your emotions, you can barely control yourself, afraid of having a nervous breakdown and possibly even considering su***de - here we recommend Cherry Plum.

So these 5 remedies give you an idea as to the sues of the Bach Flower remedies, these are often blended with others as well to enable the client to benefit from a total balance.

There is no scientific proof for these remedies but there are plenty of people who have them beneficial in many ways

I have also above looked at what the remedies can treat you for.

How can they help you – the remedies can help to remove these stresses and fears, the Aspen can leave children sleeping peacefully unafraid of night terrors, adults able to relax without the dread. Mimulus creates courage and calm, Red chestnut give you the self believe to look after yourself a little bit more, Rock rose – leave a calm and steadfast feeling and Cherry plum calms the emotions and puts life into perspective in a rational way.

I hope this answers a few questions for you.

✅ Burnout
✅ Exhaustion
✅ Suicidal thoughts, PTSD and depression

and very much more. This is only scratching the surface. I have attached a blog to this email that gives you details as to how the remedies work and what I do - so as this may prove of interest or use to you or your family.

✨ Imposter Syndrome… or something else?

I cannot tell you how many times I hear the words "Imposter Syndrome" and how it really makes me feel uncomfortable. Yesterday I was sat on a training meeting at this is the result - thanks Goodchild.

The literal meaning of imposter is "a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain."

Not a very nice word is it - and it is this that makes me feel so uncomfortable about the phrase imposter syndrome.

I often hear people say they "suffer" from Imposter Syndrome. And every time, my heart aches a little. Because to label yourself an “imposter” feels so harsh and unkind to your true self. 🌱

🤗 What you may actually be going through low self esteem, lack of confidence, self-doubt, perfectionism, or fear of not being “enough”, this is all very normal. Most of us have these feelings all the time - you are NOT an imposter. You are real, your journey is valid, and your gifts are needed.

🌱 My Bach flower remedies can gently support us in these moments - when our inner critic grows loud, and when we feel undeserving of our own success. They help us reconnect with the truth of who we are: capable, worthy, and authentic.

However, in that moment, and without the remedies, I would ask yourself about how you have achieved so much:-

💡 Probably through genuine hard work.

💡 Missing out on fun things in life while you were ploughing through work

💡 Think back on the pain of reaching the now.

💡 Think what you are now doing

💡 Then turn around and look forward - take the courage and strength you have used to get here and move forward.

💡 Move slowly and carefully and you will get precisely to where you need to be.

So next time you have thoughts of “Imposter Syndrome,” pause and remind yourself that those words are not you! You are simply a beautiful human being learning to trust yourself. 💛

Menopause isn’t just a personal journey. It’s also workplace issue.

I wasn't working when I heard this - it's a tough listen but will open your eyes and mind!

On Friday I was listening to BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, the talk was primarily about women and su***de. A daughter whose mum had committed su***de in 1990’s in the middle of what was thought to be a hormonal “incident”. (The link to this broadcast is herehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002htcl).

Thirty years later her daughter had similar suicidal thoughts and actually attempted su***de, only to be saved by passersby. The cause in 1990 and more recently has now a found link – the connection between menopause and suicidal thoughts.

For too long, the workplace has underestimated the impact of menopause on women’s wellbeing, careers, and lives. While physical symptoms like hot flushes and disrupted sleep are commonly discussed, the emotional and psychological toll - anxiety, brain fog, loss of confidence, and in some cases, suicidal thoughts - is still o overlooked.

There is also the load of managing children, elderly parents and running a home – and in addition the emotions that come with perimenopausal and menopausal thoughts

The result?
Talented, experienced women leave the workforce prematurely. Businesses losing invaluable skills, leadership, and perspective. Teams absorbing the strain and companies are feeling the results unnecessarily.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

At on the Blink, we work with organisations to:
• Educate your staff about the reality of menopause.
• Break down stigma and silence so women feel safe to seek help.
• Equip managers with practical tools to support colleagues.
• Reduce absenteeism, improve retention, and protect wellbeing.

Supporting employees through menopause is not “a nice to have.” It is a strategic priority - one that protects mental health, sustains performance, and demonstrates that your organisation values every stage of a woman’s working life.

When we create workplaces where women can thrive during menopause, everybody benefits.

Do you struggle with anxiety or stress?

The world today sadly is often the cause of much unavoidable stress and anxiety.
The pressure to juggle work, family, personal goals, and daily responsibilities leaves some us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally drained.

If you’ve ever experienced racing thoughts, nervous tension, or an underlying sense of unease, you’re not alone.

I would like to introduce you to the Bach Flower Remedies a natural ways to restore balance and introduce a sense of calm into your life.

This process is a holistic system of 38 plant-based essences aimed to supporting your emotional well-being. Dr Edward Bach developed these in the 1930s.

The remedies work on an energetic level, helping to rebalance negative emotions and restore inner harmony.

🌸 How the remedies help with stress and anxiety?
Bach Flower Remedies are brilliant as they can address different types of anxiety and stress-related emotions. Here are a few remedies that may help:
✨ Rescue Remedy - This is the most well-known blend, combines five different essences to help in moments of high stress, panic, or emotional shock. Ideal for interviews, overwhelming situations or exams.
✨ Mimulus - If you experience a known fear and anxiety related to specific situations Mimulus helps to build courage and confidence.
✨ White Chestnut - if you struggle with mind monkeys and endless racing thoughts, or endless mental chatter, this remedy is perfect for you.
✨ Aspen - if you fearful of the unknown Aspen is the remedy for deep-seated unknown fears, uncertainty, and general unease.

They are safe for all ages, have no side effects, and can be used alongside other treatments.

If you’ve been feeling anxious or overwhelmed, you are definitely not alone in this, and there are ways to support yourself holistically.

Take time for self-care, surround yourself with good friends and try and using a natural remedy like Bach Flowers can make a big difference.

What are Bach flower remedies?

Every time I go to a networking meeting and tell them what I do, people always ask me - what is a Bach Flower Practitioner??

Well, today i went to a meeting and 4 ladies in the meeting actually knew exactly what I did and what the remedies were.

First of all Dr Bach was Welsh, a practicing GP working in Harley Street who decided that the world of natural remedies could help the conventional medicine.

He hoped the 2 would mix, sadly although they could, conventional medicine is not renowned for promoting the complimentary. Medicine.

On the basis that "it is not scientifically proven", they cannot say it works. However I can give remedies to animals and children and the original problema are resolved so the placebo effect cannot be included!

Anyway, I am month ago had the privilege of visiting Dr Bachs' house near Wallingford in Oxfordshire, down some of the tiniest lanes imaginable. There on a slight hill was the unforgettable sight of this very ordinary house.

Stepping back inside was a journey back in time, all the old style bottles, all of his old equipment, the kits he used to make the remedies and the newish training room where I studied my level 2.

It was almost surreal to think that here was the cottage where this amazing work was pulled together and it has become an international and multilingual business but hardly anyone knows about the work that we do.

There remedies are available in over 70 countries in the world, the basis of training take place at Dr Bachs house and his work and the work of Norah Weeks still continues to this day.

Attached to this post is the blog with the story about how the remedies are made etc.

This week we are looking at our children going back to school, I think the first day of term, depending on where you live is this week - how are the children in your household?

Is your child worried about going back to school? Are they showing signs of concern?

Returning to school for any child will bring up a wide variety of emotions depending on the child. For many children it can be a very emotional and quite daunting prospect.

They have had a summer holiday of fun and freedom without being told what to study and what to learn. They may well have been away and a fabulous time and now it's back to the "school" life.

It may also be a case of having to see other children at school who they do not like and are wary of, there maybe bullying involved.

If you have had a happy child all summer who is gradually becoming either very withdrawn or possibly showing signs of irritability then maybe there is a problem.

Whilst the Rescue Remedy can be of great use for the days immediately before return, it may well be useful to think about alternative solutions to try.

I would suspect that there could be a fear involved and this would work around the Mimulus remedy which is all about the fears that we know about, so if your child is afraid of their peers and finds school intimidating then this is absolutely what is needed.

You will find all the relevant information about this solution in my blog. I hope it helps
