This… 💛
Reflection and conversation with a client recently could be summed up with this sentiment… ✨
They originally felt as though the years were passing them by, trapped by circumstances that seemed beyond their control, unable to see a way forwards, and ‘doomscrolling’ appeared to be compounding their situation…
Fast forwards through constructive sessions together, some open-mindedness and determination, willingness to challenge, and actively attempt to understand more about themselves… and as one foot goes in front of the other, step by step, bit by bit… it wasn’t until recently as we paused and unpicked, that they became aware of just how far they’ve come… ✨

Change can be scary. Uncomfortable. Risky. Challenging. Uncertain. And yet it can be so rewarding too! If something doesn’t feel right or unmovable or insurmountable, sometimes looking to ourselves can hold the key… 🔑
- and unsure where to start? Together we can begin your journey… 🌙 ✨

Mind full…. or… Mindful….?
Take a moment today to pause, breathe, be present and mindful 🫧 🌿 🧘

Happy Day!

12th September is a global day to raise awareness and celebrate mindfulness.

We are excited to join in because mindfulness and awareness are core parts of happier living.

Mindfulness can reduce stress levels, help us manage emotions and reactions, tune in better to how we and others are feeling and cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. It helps us connect to the present moment and the world around us in a more meaningful way.

So today, wherever you are and whatever is happening, make time to stop, pause and breathe.

Appreciate what’s around you and the little things in life. Even in challenging times we can come home to ourselves, and choose to look for what’s good. 🧘‍♀️🌱✨🩷

Service of Reflection for anyone affected by su***de - Sunday 14th September - Truro Cathedral 🕯️

Save the date -
On Sunday 14th September Truro Cathedral will be holding a Service of Reflection for anyone affected by su***de. Many of the wonderful organisations that provide support here in Cornwall will be present to talk to.

It’s World Su***de Prevention day
- with the aim of raising awareness, reducing stigma, and sharing the message that su***des are preventable… ✨

However, sadly on average every 90 minutes someone in the UK or Ireland dies by su***de (ONS, 2024)… ✨ and 1 in 4 of us has had suicidal thoughts (NHS, 2025)… ✨

‘Changing the narrative’ theme requires change from all of us… from how we talk (if at all), how society understands and supports, how organisations and systems are working, how cultures are acting… we can all do our part to shift the mindsets and silences to ones of openness, understanding and compassion… 🙏
- and it’s a total urban myth that talking about su***de increases the likelihood - it actually reduces it.

I’m proud to do my tiny bit with Georgia's Voice- Preventing Su***de in Young Women aged 18-25 in Cornwall and I know Man down - supporting men’s mental health and Sunrise Cornwall are all doing brilliant things to reduce and prevent su***de in Cornwall 👏 💛 So here’s to getting talking, listening, reaching out and checking in on one another because we are all enough and don’t need to endure alone… 🌙✨

“… that’s where the ‘magic’ happens…” ✨ although it’s not that at all, it’s how facilitating such a session alongside nature can create such beautiful moments and opportunities… 👇 A joy to lead and be a part of 🙏 🌙 ✨

Welcoming September with our wonderful Bos yn ta yn Natur (Be Well in Nature) group today - which supports young females’ mental health and fully funded by Forestry England as part of their Active Forests Programme 🙏

‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ rang true today as we discussed what the concept of beauty means to each of us (and that this can also have negative connotations when image expectations or trends and are considered). We recognised that beauty too can relate to landscapes, memories, smells and tastes and feelings…

With the return to routines and schools, today felt like the perfect time to decompress, relax and reconnect with one another and the space - including in exploring the recent changes to the meadow (it’s had a significant strim thanks to the rangers Cardinham Woods - Forestry England 🙌) as well as being on the cusp of Autumn 🍃 🍂

Some chose to lie in the sun, or climb a tree, go by the river, create a nature loom with what they considered beautiful treasures from nature, or enjoy a cuppa and card game, or help in erecting our Coleman shelter for the returning groups (thank you, team!), or get cooking a group campfire crumble… By having a longer session together means that the time pressures reduce and the options are available for when the interest and/or individual feels able - and that’s where the ‘magic’ happens (although it’s not magic, it’s acceptance and understanding and gaining confidence in self and surroundings, all wrapped up in the wonders of nature) 💛

It’s a delight to hold this space and we can’t wait to see what the next season will bring… ☺️ 🐾

It was a pleasure to share the Wellness Wheel with others today as an aid in mentoring and growing self-awareness…

The Wellness Wheel can be used as holistic tool to help evaluate areas in your life as well as understanding and strengthening your sense of identity.
The Wellness Wheel is divided into eight sections: social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, environmental, financial, occupational… ✨

It’s argued that for optimal wellbeing, all of the sections need to be looked after… however in life, sometimes this can be easier said than done! So an awareness of how one domain might be impacting another, or how priorities can change, or acknowledging held beliefs, motivations and expectations, can all help with finding some harmony…

Take a look and a moment to contemplate your wellness wheel… what is it showing you and how can this be of help to you? 🌙 ✨

Hello September… 💛 🌙 ✨

And so begins the season of letting go.

Consume and stockpile all of summer’s bounty as she waves farewell for another year. Thank her for generous warmth and abundance.

New month. New chapter. Let go.

And let’s go…

Donna

Lessons from a sunflower… 🌻

🌻 stand tall - known and celebrated for their height, sunflowers can remind us to also stand tall, be proud and not shy away from who we are and what we can offer…
🌻 turn your face to the sun - just as young sunflowers grow towards and track the sun (heliotropism), we too can remember to look to (and sometimes be) the light and positivity…
🌻 flowers bloom at different times - standing in a sunflower field it is clear that even the same types of flowers will bloom at different times, depending on their environment and circumstance. So we too can learn to be patient, trust the process and look after ourselves for when it is our time to shine…
🌻 many parts and uses - sunflowers are made up of many intricate parts with numerous uses from root to seed to flower. We too have many parts (or ‘hats’ or ‘faces’) depending on our situation, role or experiences, all helping to create the person we are… and the more we understand ourselves, the more we can learn and grow to be of best use to ourselves and others…
🌻 beautiful things can grown from tiny seeds - isn’t it amazing how a huge sunflower can start as a small seed? It has the potential and so do we. No matter how small your dream or hope might be, it too can grow into something wonderful if tended and nurtured…

These are just some of learnings that sunflowers can give us. Let you find the light, be bright and sunny, hold your head high, and spread seeds of happiness… 🌻 🌙 ✨
