💛🌍 World Kindness Day 2025 🌍💛

Today is a reminder that kindness has power...not only to lift others, but to strengthen our own wellbeing...

In a busy world, it’s easy to forget that being kind to yourself matters just as much as being kind to others. Taking time to rest, speaking to yourself with compassion, and making space for the things that make you smile...these are simple but powerful acts of self-kindness that help build resilience and balance.

At Living Life to the Full we believe that everyone deserves the tools to live well, even when life feels challenging. Our evidence-based online courses and life-skills resources help you boost mood, manage stress, and feel more in control, one kind step at a time.

✨ This , remember....

Kindness starts with how you treat yourself.
Every small act of compassion counts.
Your wellbeing matters ... today and every day.

Feeling more tired, low on energy, or a bit down lately? 🌧️

As the evenings get darker and the days shorter, many people start to feel the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)- a form of depression linked to the change in seasons.

There is support available. Learn practical ways to lift your mood and manage SAD with this free online course ... https://llttf.com/sad/

Emerging research shows that Bouldering psychotherapy (BPT) can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, with effects comparable to CBT

It promotes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-efficacy — all while engaging the body.

Bouldering psychotherapy (BPT) is a therapeutic approach that combines bouldering (a type of rock climbing) with psychotherapeutic methods like cognitive-behavioural therapy to treat conditions such as depression. The manualised program involves 10 weekly, two-hour group sessions led by trained climbing therapists, focusing on psychological topics relevant to the condition being treated, such as self-esteem and self-efficacy. The intervention integrates mindfulness, relaxation, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and specific bouldering exercises to help participants break negative thought patterns, improve physical and mental skills, and foster self-confidence in a social, action-oriented setting.

In The Huffington Post feature “The 1 Surprising Snack People Are Eating To Calm An Anxiety Spike,” psychologist Chris Williams notes that while there’s little scientific evidence linking sour sweets to anxiety relief, many people report that the intense, tangy flavour offers a quick distraction that can help ease the onset of panic.

🧗‍♀️ Bouldering for the Mind

At the recent EABCT Conference in Glasgow, Chris had the privilege of serving as discussant at a fascinating symposium led by Dr Steve Moorhead, exploring the mental health benefits of Bouldering Psychotherapy (BPT) — a form of climbing that’s as much about mindset as muscle.

Bouldering encourages individuals to approach challenges step-by-step, tolerate uncertainty, and build confidence... core principles in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Emerging research shows BPT can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, with effects comparable to traditional CBT. It promotes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-efficacy ...all while engaging the body.

This month’s featured worksheet draws on the same metaphor: a visual “climbing wall” to help you map and tackle real-life problems, one hold at a time.
