***Emotional Reasoning***

Emotional reasoning is a thought distortion where we believe our emotions are facts.

But our emotions arent facts, they're signals. Not every uncomfortable feeling is a sign you’re doing something wrong, in fact it can be a sign you’re doing something new and stepping out of comfort zone.

So next time you find yourself experiencing Emotional reasoning, try to view it with curiosity as data instead of facts.

Now THIS can be a tough perspective switch. But oh so freeing when acknowledged and actioned.

Happy Saturday! Laura x

I've made a conscious effort to step back from the scroll over the last few months.

I’m fully aware of the irony of me posting this on social media, (I promise I see the hypocrisy 😆) BUT studies do show that excessive digital use can impact our mental health, so consider this your gentle reminder, for you and me, to log off for a bit.

Go outside (make the most of the beautiful sunshine!), call a friend, read a book, bake some cookies, whatever helps you reset.

Busy day with the final sessions of 2 group courses, the school run, and a client Zoom.

Thought I was winning at life by putting a chicken in the oven while I worked so the kids could eat before football…

Just realised I’ve had it on a low grill for 2 hours. 😭

Mcdonalds for tea it is then, I did try!

It’s that time again…

Next week is the final session of my two Thursday courses before they restart again after Easter.

That means a few Thursday slots will open up for a short run of sessions.

If you’d like to use that time to refocus, build momentum, talk things through, or simply have some dedicated space for yourself, feel free to reach out and I’ll reserve a slot for you!

Morning all!

Still no email, so please reach out via socials or WhatsApp for any appointments or queries. If you have emailed me, I'm not ignoring you, I just can't read them!

On the plus side, there is light at the end of the tech doom tunnel and I should have a brand new email sorted by this afternoon.
🤞🤞🤞

We all have coping mechanisms or roles that helped get us through. These can be learned from others or reactions that were created when we just had no other option.

But these patterns are things that you do, not who you are. They are not part of your identity.

You can let go of things that no longer serve you.
