The dark rainy days we have had this week do not feel very Spring like !

But look closely and you will see clumps of Snowdrops in gardens and on grass verges , Daffodils are shooting up, the birds are singing more loudly and it’s getting dark later .

Spring is a time for focus and renewal , if you would like to spend time focussing on you this Spring then why not get in touch to see if I can help you.

Did you know your counsellor spends a lot of time outside of your sessions either doing training courses or reading and researching topics that will help them to support you ?

Ongoing learning is an important part of my role , I aim to do the best I can to support every client in the way that they need , and what I learn along the way supports future clients too !

Anyone else find Autumn lovely but also difficult at the same time ? I love Autumn colours (photo taken last year on a visit to Chatsworth House) but I sometimes struggle with the darker days .

Here are some tips if you struggle too :
*Try to spend sometime outdoors everyday so that you benefit from natural light
* Accept your bodies need to rest more during Autumn/Winter but stay active enough not to become lethargic
* Take the opportunity to enjoy activities such as cooking / reading/ crafting when you can’t go outside
* Eat a healthy diet
* Stay connected to friends and family
* Keep a gratitude journal
* Consider using a light box and/or a sunrise alarm clock ( a gradual brightening light that gently wakes you from sleep )

Have you any top tips you would like to share ?

Following a migraine yesterday evening I have taken the decision to have a slow self care day today.

Self care is a subject that often comes up with clients , it is something a lot of us find difficult to do in our busy lives without feeling guilty, and without thinking ‘I should’ be doing this or that .

Self care looks different for different people , and my self care can be different depending on my needs . It can be walking the dog for a longer walk than normal , gardening , baking , connecting with friends or family , or going for a treatment such as Reiki .

Today it is about turning off the alarm and getting up later than usual, pottering around the house , and watching something on TV that didn’t need any concentration ☺️

Do you prioritise your self care enough ?
Try and factor in some time for you.
