Hello, I'm Ruth Jenkins, a Counsellor based in Hythe, Kent, on the southeast coast of England.

In addition to being an accredited member of the NCS, I have undertaken further training within the field of telephone counselling.

How I choose to start my day sets the rhythm for what I hope is to follow. 'Just a walk' becomes transformational...

What is really important to me is having both the choice and the intention, but also the forward looking sense of hope.

In the words of Jay Shetty:

"We are defined by the narrative that we write for ourselves every day.

Is it a story of joy, perseverance, love, and kindness, or it is a story of guilt, blame, bitterness, and failure? Find a new vocabulary to match the emotions and feelings that you want to live by.

Talk to yourself with love."

The power of positivity and the impact of such positivity on strengthening neural connections within our brains is a proven scientific fact.

It has been said that the emotion that we fall asleep with is most likely the emotion that we will wake up with in the morning.

We have the ability to rewire our brains by considering just how we feel when we fall asleep.
How we want to feel, are able to feel, aspire to feel....

How do you start your day?

One thing that sounds so simple, and maybe is or isn't, is that by going to bed earlier I am able to wake up earlier.

Rather than pushing myself to the end of the day, I start my day earlier, fresher and with intentionality.

By waking earlier I am able to gently start my day. Either journalling, walking or maybe reading. And this new found time is like 'free' time, mine to use however I wish.

Jay Shetty describes this intentional morning routine as "like a mental shower."

Goal, Plan, Action.....Intentionality.

To truly live intentionally, we need to focus less on the external pressures of what it means to be successful and instead look introspectively.

We need to really understand why we want a certain goal, and who we are / have to be in order to take action and bring our plans to fruition.

Do you like the person you need to be? Or is that version of yourself at juxtaposition with who you actually are?

Is there intentionality behind the action, the work needed to be done to achieve the desired goal?

Intentionality is about the process, not simply the outcome.

Change......

Such a hugely pivotal factor within therapy.

The desire for change.
The fear of change.
The need to change.

Sometimes there are no words...
A respectful acknowledgement to all those who have been affected by cancer.

Fear and anxiety can led us to panic and freeze in certain situations. How might it feel if we harnessed some of that anxiety in a positive way?

Think of the analogy of a smoke alarm.
Is it going off because a piece of toast is caught in the toaster...or something more serious like a house fire?

Do you remove the battery from the smoke alarm to stop the noise, or do you get up, investigate and take action?

The question here is, do you act on your anxiety as a positive call to action or hide it, ignore it, suffocate it?

The outcomes in this scenario would be very different depending on the choices made.

Anxiety can be a warning signal, an alert if you like.
What is your anxiety whispering to you and are you able to hear it?

Forgiveness.
For many, such a difficult and traumatic thing to even begin to think about doing.

But....what might life look like if forgiveness was offered?

Forgiving someone has the ability to conserve our energy levels. Furthermore, forgiveness may improve our overall health, easing stress and limiting side effects such as physical aches, nausea and tiredness.

When we forgive, we let go.
We let go of grudges and resentment, reduce drama and gift ourselves with peace of mind.

This is such a sensitive and delicate issue to talk through and process. Therapy offers that space to gently hold all the complexities surrounding the act of forgiving.

💚
A strange thing potentially to say on social media...but a gentle reminder that not every post we see is the whole truth. The envy that we may have when viewing someone's seemingly perfect life is often misplaced.

As says:

"It is important to find ourselves significance not from thinking other people have it better but from being the person we want to be."

A morning walk for me is a haven of tranquility.
Where will you find your moments of tranquility today?
