This can be a very helpful question to pause and ask ourselves in the mornings, some ideas ........number 1 is used frequently in our house😀

1. Can anyone help unload the dishwasher please??
2. Go to bed earlier so the next day is a little easier

5. Stop and breathe every hour, not everything has to feel urgent
6. Get clothes ready for the next day
7. Actively schedule in ways to recoup that can be with or without others

How to Practice the EMDR Blue Smoke Technique to calm the nervous system🌪

1. Close eyes, breathe normally

2. Inhale slowly and deeply, imagining that you are breathing in a calm, clean, clear blue colour

3. Exhale slowly and completely, imagining that you are breathing out any stress, tension, or pain as a dark blue smoke. As you exhale, focus on letting go of these negative feelings.

4. Repeat: Continue this cycle for several minutes, with each breath in bringing in more calm blue, and each breath out expelling more dark smoke, until your entire body feels filled with the calm blue colour and the dark smoke is gone.

Simply put EMDR is a psychological technique that can help the mind/ body process and heal from distressing events. It allows us to address past difficulties in a safe manner and change the feeling and thinking around these events, so they are no longer as intense and ultimately lose their impact.

One of the major benefits from EMDR techniques is learning body-based tools. These help to rebalance the nervous system and achieve behavioural goals which are challenging to meet.

If this approach could be helpful for you, please get in contact with Quiet Mind Counselling.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. It’s a reminder that every life matters, and that reaching out—even in the smallest way—can make a difference. Many people carry silent struggles, and sometimes just being heard, seen, and understood can start the healing journey. If you are finding things difficult, please know you are not alone ❤

Some signs of depression and despair can be:
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Loss of interest or pleasure and motivation
Feeling worthless, guilty, or ashamed
Increased irritability, frustration, or anger
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things
Feeling trapped or that things will never get better
