We talk so much about “mental health” — yet true wellbeing is never just of the mind.
It’s the harmony of mind, body, and soul — and the feeling of belonging that anchors us when life feels uncertain.

At A Positive Start CIC, we believe that truth is medicine for the nervous system.
It restores balance, strengthens attachment, and brings safety to the body, peace to the mind, and light to the soul.

When truth, connection, and belonging come together, healing happens — not because we fix ourselves, but because we remember who we are and that we matter.

exploring how truth anchors us, how attachment shapes our regulation, and how mind, body, and soul work together in flow for genuine healing and wellbeing.

At A Positive Start CIC, we speak often about T.R.U.S.T., because without trust, there is no safety — and without safety, healing cannot happen.

🚨 SCAM WARNING – Fake DWP Winter Fuel Payment Texts 🚨

Please be aware: scammers are sending texts pretending to be from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about the Winter Fuel Payment 2025–2026.

One example looks like this:

“Department for Work and Pensions (DWP): Our records show that you have not yet applied for the Winter Fuel Payment for 2025–2026… Please complete your application via the following link: [suspicious link].”

⚠️ This is a scam.
• The text may come from a mobile number (e.g. starting with +44 7378…), not an official DWP number.
• The link is not a genuine gov.uk address – it’s designed to steal your personal and banking details.
• DWP will never text you a link to apply for Winter Fuel Payments.

✅ What you should do:
• Do not click on the link.
• Forward the message to 7726 (free number to report scam texts).
• Report the scam at www.gov.uk/report-suspicious-emails-websites-texts-calls.
• If you’ve clicked the link or shared information, contact your bank immediately and get advice from Action Fraud.

Please share this warning with family, friends, and neighbours – especially those who may be more vulnerable to these kinds of scams.

Stay safe and alert. Pass it on!

Triggers are not weaknesses. They are echoes of our survival- that we must come to understand!

I shouldn’t have to say this, but I will: this isn’t about looking left or right. Sadly, we’ve become so polarised as a society that not making that clear can create hostility and resentment for simply sharing thoughts and opinions. That in itself is surely food for thought 🤔
My intention here is not to argue politics, but to stand back, take a wider view, and ask: what is the true value of life?

From its very beginning in the womb to its final breath, life has always been sacred, precious, and worthy of reverence. Yet, in many ways, our modern culture has drifted from that understanding. We see it in how pregnancy is often spoken of as a burden rather than a gift, and in how we now debate assisted su***de as though life itself can be reduced to a choice of convenience.

Today’s quick read reflective blog:
