Hello All.

My apologies that I have not posted on a long time.

I will be closing down this group shortly and will be opening a page around celebrations of the seasons, gods and courses that I will be running.

If you wish to be included in the new page. Please drop me a message and I will add you to the page, once it is up and running.

Wishing you love, joy and good health

Which path are you taking today?

04/02/2021

I wanted to share this you, as I think a lot of people might be feeling this way, at this time.

My best self.

Today I wasn’t my best self
Actually for the last week I haven’t been my best self
My best self isn’t about being good at things
But how I feel, how I react to external things
My ability to cope and compartmentalise

If I knew I was my best self, I would know that I wouldn’t feel things as sharply
That my emotions wouldn’t be throbbing like a raw nerve
I wouldn’t feel teary for no reason
I wouldn’t cry over something, that normally wouldn’t even cross my mind

My best self is in here,
But today and maybe for a few more days she has gone away
So until we find eachother again
I am going to sit with not being my best self
And have open dialogue about the impact that things have on me
Create my boundaries
Speak my truth
Until my best self, my happiest self comes back

And I know she will
It feels good to know myself
To understand that under different circumstances, I might react differently
To give space to my fears and feelings and thoughts
To own me

Find your space, it can be okay be there for a while.

I hope you all find someone that you can talk to today.

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year.

The light is returning, look for it in the space, the silence. Find joy in the small things such as a smile or a surprising moment and most of all, be kind to yourself.

Let the new year in
With a smile and joke
Let’s feel our way through this
With branches of hope

I hope for you all
A time to heal
As we once again look
To turn the wheel

Enjoy the moments
Of reflection and peace
As 2021 brings hope
That this infection will cease

Blessed Be
Emma

Yule

A small description on what’s it about and how you can celebrate it.

14/12/2020

It’s okay to be goo.

21/11/2020

We all do it one time or another…

It is so easy to constantly think ahead…that ‘to do list’ you haven’t finished yet, that meeting tomorrow, those Christmas gifts you have to buy.

And it’s so easy to forget to take some time to be present and be grateful for all the things we do have… the small things and the big things.

So, here is a little reminder for all of us to just narrow our focus to now, even if just for a moment.

👇Let that sink in…and when it has…could you find some time for YOUR wellbeing today?👇

Be More Dog

Sometimes life sucks and you need to cry and accept that sometimes things will suck.

Allow yourself to be in the moment and be more dog. Here is a short emotive video from my friend and founder Mr S.

It is all about perception. So, you might wonder what is the one thing you could do now, to shift yours?

22/10/2020

I am looking forward to what you all might add to this.

What is acceptance?

My wonderful colleague sarah.

Self Compassion

How often do you tell yourself that you’re not as good as other people? That you’re never going to be as confident, as clever, as successful? How often do you tell yourself you’re too fat, too thin, too ... something? Or maybe not enough?

And when was the last time you spoke to your best friend, your mum, your sister, your brother like that?

Exactly. We don’t. We reserve the meanness for ourselves.

What effect would those words have on another person?

So... stop. Replace those unkind words with self compassion.

I’m doing my best.
I’m kind.
It’s ok to struggle sometimes.
I’m not alone in this feeling.
I can get through this.
I can do this.

Listen to yourself and replace the self criticism with self compassion. It might feel odd to start, but what’s that about?

You can do this.

James Clear, has captured this beautifully, does it feel right to you?

‘Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you know it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive."

“Optimism and pessimism can coexist. If you look hard enough you’ll see them next to each other in virtually every successful company and successful career. They seem like opposites, but they work together to keep everything in balance."

Just a little thought this morning...

01/09/2020

What if your life is a story?

And if it is, it can make you realise that you're in charge of where it goes… that you're not just a character in it… but also the author…

It might come as a surprise for you that we can help ourselves by using stories.

Take a look at how one of our therapists, Emma Bromley, helps her clients by using stories.
