Peace in mind

There are plenty of things around this time of year to help you be mindful. What sounds, smells, sights, textures and tastes can you find?

Reel shows smell in the form of a scented candle, sights in the form of a snow globe and a pebble with drawings based on a Christmas jumper, and sound and texture in the form of tinsel.

The mindset makeover workshops are starting in February. The format will be a mixture of knowledge building, reflective activities and building a toolbox of coping techniques to help you keep grounded and calm. We aim to create a personal and supportive environment.

What masks do you wear? Is it time to enable the real you to make an appearance? I can help you explore what's underneath the mask and give you space to be seen and heard.

I don't often post inspirational quotes, but how could I ignore the wise words of Superman? 😉🦸🏻‍♂️

Sometimes we can be so focused on meeting the expectations placed on us by ourselves and others, that we can forget to be human, to allow ourselves to feel, to allow ourselves to screw up. Even superheroes get scared and it's OK if you do too.

Anxiety is more than worry. It's a whole mind and body experience. Try these tips to help manage your anxiety

➡️ Try mindfulness and meditation to engage your parasympathetic nervous system - this can help you feel more regulated. See my blog from last year for ideas: peaceinmind.co.uk/rest-and-digest

➡️ Create a calming toolkit - collect soothing things that help tap into your different senses. This could be a soft blanket, a playlist, a scented candle, a picture, etc.

➡️ Look for triggers and patterns. Does your anxiety increase in certain situations? Is it affected when you eat or drink certain things, e.g. caffeine, alcohol, etc?

➡️ Understand your anxiety by journaling and / or speaking to someone

➡️ If you'd like to have a chat about how counselling might help, book a free consultation with me via my website or DM / WhatsApp me
