We recognise that there can be numerous barriers to attending conferences and trainings, and so we introduced, in 2019, an Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Fund (EDIF). The EDIF offers grants to assist those who would otherwise be unable to attend our international conference by covering the cost...

More mindful attention should benefit you and your pet.

I thought I’d share this as s*x is a topic which often comes to the therapy room. The key is communication…if you’re relationship has good communication, your s*x life will more likely be enjoyable. Doing things because your partner wants them and you don’t is not likely to help either of you in the longer term. Talk about reaching an understanding - healthy relationships allow compromises, coercive ones don’t!

Communication and honesty matter more than prowess.

Sun in the sky and the field grass is cut 🙂 I used to suffer really badly with hayfever, now it’s just the odd day.

Spare a thought for those whom struggle with summer illness, heat difficulties, exhaustion, it’s not all sandcastles and smiles when the sun is out!

Plenty hydration, sun cream if you do go out, wear a sun hat and don’t forget insect repellent. Those bugs need a nibble but some can react badly in my experience. So you’ll always find me covered up and definitely not sunbathing.

Mind your alcohol intake too, it can be tempting to have a few too many.

Think of your pets and children too if you have, they need additional protection.

Have a restful weekend and stay sun safe all.

Started the day with a short run, visited local crafters, walks along the loch and cliffsides, mindfulness activities, BBQ with family…and managed some CPD! What a perfect day mixed with activating and soothing activities, balanced diet and some joyful tipples during our holidays.

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to enjoying our time away from work. I personally like to keep my emails ticking over so there’s no backlog on my return. I’m in control of when and where I answer these emails and I’ve always done this. However, some people want to totally disconnect from work and that’s ok too.

So when it comes to work-life balance, it’s about our own choices and whether these can be met. Do you feel in control?

Here’s our family effort at a waterside cairn, we had such fun choosing the right rocks! No rocks were harmed in the making of this image and all were returned to their place of rest 💕

Did you know that there’s a different between women and men’s use of alcohol?

Drinking for different reasons with different physical responses.
