I have a huge amount of time for Marie Kondo and her ethos of getting rid of possessions if they don't give you joy. From a monastic perspective, it is not about not owning things, but that nothing should own you.

There is a huge amount of research around the calming and grounding effects a calm and peaceful environment can have upon us.

Rather than constantly organising and tidying, how would it feel to own less? It's just a thought...

Does that thought feel uncomfortable or exciting?!

Yesterday was a Blue Mind day...
The feeling of being so much smaller than the world around us is so empowering.

When feelings start to overwhelm us, getting outside and immersing ourselves in nature is such a positive action to take.

When we already feel settled, getting outside adds that extra layer of gratitude and completeness.

Our habits form and mould us.
Some habits may become rituals, to be treasured and appreciated.

We are our habits, not our goals.
Present us v Future us.

Which habits are important to you and which would you like to change?

Hemmingway's writing is powerful, honest and wonderfully complex.

We all have moments where we crumble, falter, are knocked off kilter. What we choose to do next is our strength.

Against all adversity....

Hope.
Sometimes hope can be fobbed off as unrealistic or simply wishful. Hoping for something out of reach and unattainable...

However, hope is not a future feeling.
The power of hope lies in the fact that it is very much a now feeling. We can only ever feel it in the present.
It is the belief in hope that allows us to weather all storms.

Hope encourages, protects and gives reason to.

What are you hopeful about today?

This is something that I constantly explore and appreciate.

How would it feel for you to hold that space, even if only for a half a minute?

Empowerment is but a moment away...

Today offers the opportunity for reflection, a chance to reset maybe.

And a reminder that great women are held and supported, championed by, great women.

This a from a poem by Mary Oliver.
Such a beautiful, simple and yet hugely powerful quote.

To pay attention allows for curiosity.
To become curious brings awareness....

Very much a cornerstone of therapy.

March heralds the arrival of Spring.

A new season.
A new vista.

What does this mean for you?
What would you like it to mean for you?

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?ย  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....
