The real reason you're tired all the time: It's not your workload. It's your open loops.

The text you haven't answered. The apology you owe. The decision you're avoiding. The conversation you keep postponing.

These run in the background of your mind all day, draining your battery. Close your loops. Watch your energy return.

Mental clutter is more exhausting than physical work ever will be.

Samhain: A Time for Reflection & Renewal 🎃

As we move into Samhain, the ancient festival marking the transition to winter, it’s a natural time to pause and reflect. The changing seasons often mirror our inner world — moments of growth followed by periods of rest, release, and renewal.

In psychotherapy, we recognise that psychological wellbeing also follows these rhythms. Times of darkness or stillness aren’t signs of stagnation, but opportunities for integration and restoration. Just as nature sheds what it no longer needs, we too can take stock of what thoughts, habits, or relationships may no longer serve us.

You might take a quiet moment this week to consider:
🍁 What have I harvested or achieved this year?
🍂 What am I ready to let go of?
🌙 What do I need to nurture as I move into the winter months?

Allowing yourself to slow down and tune into these natural cycles can be an important act of self-care and emotional regulation.

Wishing you a calm and reflective Samhain.

You cannot save anyone, but you can offer to sit beside them while they save themselves.

Sometimes, that's all we need - connection, understanding and kindness.

Sometimes, all we need is someone to listen without judgment, to simply be present.

Sometimes, we long for a hug that allows us to release the weight of our tears.

Sometimes, we crave someone who asks us the important questions, guiding us to discover the answers within.

Sometimes, what we need most is someone who isn't afraid of our darkest parts, who accepts us fully, without fear. Someone who can point out the good in us when we're unable to see it ourselves.

Perhaps, in the end we just seek someone with whom we can be completely vulnerable.

In a world where such connections are rare
perhaps the best we can do is to become that person for ourselves and others. And in doing so, may we also find that someone who will hold us as we heal together.

If you want to enjoy life, don't subscribe to other people's definition of "fun".

Fun doesn't have to mean drinking, partying and socialising.

Fun can be a night in alone, getting lost in a book, a deep conversation, a walk, creating art, playing music or doing work that you love.

Your fun belongs to you, make sure you define it.

Have you ever wondered how some people remain upbeat even in challenging situations?

It often comes down to one key trait:

💫 OPTIMISM 💫

Being an optimist means approaching things in a productive, positive way. Positive expectations influence outcomes by setting a tone that lifts you and those around you.

Think of yourself as a human magnet, constantly attracting what you speak, think and feel.

✨️ HOW TO BECOME AN OPTIMIST ✨️

Optimism begins in the mind. To reframe your thoughts means to consciously change your negative thoughts into more positive ones.

To do this, identify when you have a negative thought. Challenge it's truth and replace it with a positive affirmation.

For example, instead of thinking "I never do anything right," you might reframe it to "I am learning and improving every day."

Optimists also naturally focus on finding solutions. This shift in perspective encourages a proactive approach and prevents you from dwelling on issues that may lead to feelings of helplessness.

When you identify a problem, spend some time devising and implementing solutions. This encourages a positive outlook and empowers you to take control of situations.

And finally, create your own positive environment. The people around you significantly influence your mood and outlook on life. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people can uplift you and reinforce your optimistic views.

Seek out people who encourage and inspire you, join groups that share your positive outlook, or following media that reinforces your optimistic beliefs.

My life got better when I realised that I didnt have to be nice.

Being nice often left me feeling used, stressed out and disrespected.

I'm not nice. I'm a good person. There's a difference.

Being “nice” focuses on politeness and pleasing others. It often means avoiding conflict and not speaking up about something important to you.

It is usually motivated by wanting to be liked or accepted.

Being a “good” person means we are guided by values and integrity, even when it’s uncomfortable.

It means speaking the truth with kindness, even if it risks upsetting someone. Examples include setting boundaries, calling out harmful behaviour, or simply saying no 🤷‍♀️

✨ Less really can be more ✨

I’ve been thinking about how much our “stuff” affects us. The truth is, having too many things isn’t just clutter for our homes—it can become clutter for our minds too. Every item we own demands space, attention, and energy. When it builds up, it can leave us feeling stressed, weighed down, and even low in mood.

Minimalism isn’t about living with nothing. It’s about choosing what truly matters and letting go of what doesn’t. Fewer possessions can mean more calm, more freedom, and more clarity. Instead of being surrounded by things that drain us, we get to create space for peace, creativity, and joy.

Sometimes the best way to take care of our mental health is to clear the space around us. 🕊️

THE TREE OF ADDICTION

Imagine every addiction as a branch on a tree. Just like trees have roots, addictions have roots too. When these roots find fertile soil to grow, all kinds of dependencies start popping up.

Addiction can come in numerous forms such as:

Alcohol
Drugs
Food
Shopping
Gambling
Social Media
Work
Codependency

The same addiction may have different roots or combinations of roots for different people.These roots may include:

Fear
Neglect
Loneliness
Shame
Trauma

Any form of abuse creates a fertile environment for the roots of addiction to flourish.

Trimming the branches of the tree won't address the issue; the tree will sprout new branches. The solution is working on the roots and the environment.
