Reflect CBT

03/03/2026

When you're going through tough times it can be hard to see anything good around you. The suggestion that you should be 'grateful' might initially feel dismissive and invalidating. However, showing gratitude and recognising the positive things in your life can cause a shift in your outlook and pull you upwards on the spiral out of low mood and anxiety. Any move in that direction is important as it makes the next step easier. Whether it is the first glimpse of spring flowers, the cat that stopped to miaow 'hello' in the street or the coffee out your favourite mug, notice it and allow yourself to feel gratitude today.

Taking small actions can make us feel more in control and relieve anxiety. When the thought of a particular task, bit of admin or conversation is weighing us down and filling us with dread it is easy to fall into a cycle of avoidance. However, how many times have we done something we have been putting off only to realise 'that wasn't as bad as I thought' What's weighing you down today and what first step can you take?

After a busy day at work do you tend to focus on that one thing that could have gone better and forget the hundreds of things that went well? Do you tend to dwell on it, worrying about it and thinking about what you should have done differently? Imagine instead offering yourself the compassion you would to a colleague. Imagine being able to reframe your thoughts and acknowledge the many things you did well that day. Imagine having healthy mental boundaries to let you enjoy your family and leisure time and forget about work. Being able to do this can be challenging but with some, reflection, CBT techniques and practice it's possible. If you are needing to reduce that inner critic and manage your work stress better get in touch.

This is a lovely illustration of circles of control. At Christmas and holiday time there are lots of additional stresses and they can really take their toll on your mental well-being. Look after yourselves by accepting what you cannot control and focusing your time and energy on what you can. 🎄❄️💫💖

We can all have times when we feel low, anxious and bad about ourselves. When we are finding it hard to see the good in the world and losing our sense of joy and hope it's a sign that we need a little help. CBT can be very effective in changing your perspective and building a resilient mindset.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you don't have time to do the things you enjoy. When we do stop and take some time for ourselves it might come with feelings of guilt. Learn to schedule in protected time just for you and let go of that feeling you should always be busy and productive. Doing things we enjoy helps to boost mood, self esteem and also reduces stress and anxiety levels. You deserve a break!
