Day 17 of the Advent Calendar and it's a midweek NATURE BREAK.

It is as it sounds. Find sometime in the limited light to step outside, notice the trees, sky, bird, wind, even rain if it's wet where you are.

How does it make you feel? Does it feel like a reset? Better than being stuck inside all day? Ahhh, breathe...

It's Wellbeing Wednesday and a week before Christmas, here's a cheerful little challenge for you.

Do something just for the fun of it. No goals or expectations. Your chance to be a child again, and if you are a child, teach the adults how to do it!

Yay!

Topic Tuesday: Child Anxiety - Name It to Tame It

Brain science shows that when a child names a feeling, the brain calms. Why wouldn't it? Rather than panicking, it's starting to say 'Oh yeah. I understand this a bit now. I feel a bit more in control'.

And the great thing is, you don’t need a big conversation around emotions. I mean you can, and that can be useful, but actually, just a moment of naming what the emotion is can be really beneficial. We do this in coaching.

Why not try this...

'Are you feeling…worried/overwhelmed/frustrated/unsure?'

Let them choose. With a prompt they may even come up with their own name.

Choice = empowerment, so their choice of word is important, even if it's not the one you'd have gone for.

How common is anxiety in your house right now, and does your child respond to naming feelings?

Day 16 of the Advent Calendar has landed and it's POSITIVE AFFIRMATION.

Look at that wise owl in the mirror. You're amazing. You know that, right?

Positive affirmations usually start with 'I am...' so look at yourself and say out loud 'I am...' and complete the sentence in the positive.

What word are you using to describe yourself today?

The best meet ups with friends last for hours and involve awesome hot chocolate. They do in my book anyway.

Day off today so travelled more than an hour to see one of the world's kindest humans. We ate too much cake and chatted for about three hours.

Doesn't matter that we've not seen each other for months.

The Brownie Addict Bakery is also special because if you’re struggling with your mental health, they'll sit and listen, or talk, whatever you feel you might need, and I love this message. It was my first time there and I felt safe and welcome.

Tag a friend who you'd share this table with right now...

This time of year brings a unique kind of tired. It's heavy, emotional, overstimulated, and you know what, it's totally normal too.

We often mistake this tiredness for 'failing' or 'not coping'.

But I ask you this today, what happens when you reframe a thought?

Instead of 'I should have more energy', how do you feel if we say 'My body is telling me it’s been a full season, and rest is reasonable'?

Permission to slow down is powerful, so give yourself permission to do so.

How end-of-term tired are you and what’s one expectation you can soften today?

Start of another week and Day 15 of the Advent Calendar is the PARENT PAUSE REMINDER.

It does what it says.

A reminder to you, one week before Christmas to carve out 10 minutes for yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup, so fill yours up, sit back in the chair, throw some music on, or the TV, or sit in silence, and just relax.

Happy Monday, lovely human.

Where's your energy flowing right now?

Is it to the stresses of next week? Are you focusing on everybody else that you're not focusing one ounce on you? Are you worried that everything is going to go wrong?

If you are, then I predict a week of stress and anxiety

BUT

If you know those things COULD happen but you're focusing on giving yourself ten minutes break, not worrying if you burn food or forget the cream, and that actually it could all go right, then I predict a much better week.

Where's your focus at the moment? How will you shift it? What happens to your energy as a result?

There's something magical about working in the shadow of this place at the moment.

I get to see that tower up close most days but as I walk in, I see it between the trees, and as I walk out it's all lit up like this. It's beautiful inside too.

It's like some great anchor of positivity right now, and those that have been coached by me know we talk a lot about our anchors, right?!

The people inside have elevated me to a level I'm trying to comprehend because the positivity is truly off the scale, and every time I see this tower right now, I feel safe, happy, and trusted to excel more than I'm already doing.

Where do you feel safe, happy, and trusted to excel? Drop a comment or even a pic of it below.

(Note, I'm not sure I like being the last one in a pitch black car park all the time though 🤣)

It's Day 14 of the Advent Calendar already and today it's MICRO-MOMENT PRODUCTIVITY.

As the end of term arrives, everything begins to feel overwhelming, yes? Focus on breaking today's tasks down into smaller, more manageable chunks. 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, and so on.

Short bursts can yield results and feel easier to manage.

What needs your attention today? Celebrate the small wins.

Second weekend of December is here and today's Advent Calendar is all about LETTING GO

We all hold things inside, a bit like a Christmas cracker, and like crackers some of what we hold can actually be junk that just needs binning.

Today, release one thing that isn’t serving you.

Do it with a bang. Leave yourself with the happy hat and joke instead 😆
