Many of us are familiar with the idea of a stress-bucket, but do you know about the blocked tap?

There are many things which can fill our bucket; poor quality of sleep, job problems, financial worries, health concerns, family relations, anxiety and more.

There are lots of things we can do to lower the level of the bucket like, resting, doing something we enjoy or talking to someone we trust. Exercise, hobbies and spending time with friends and family can help to maintain a low level in our bucket but sometimes the tap gets blocked and we don't realise!

Doing a weekly wellbeing check up can help identify areas you might want to focus on, in order to unblock that tap!

Asking yourself, "How do I feel today, physically and mentally?" and focusing on questions like;

- Am I drinking enough water?
- Am I eating a healthy and balanced diet?
- How did I sleep last night, and did I feel rested when I woke up?
- What things are on my mind? Are the thoughts helpful?
- Am I doing activities which will lower the levels of stress?
- How full is my container right now?

Asking yourself these questions will help to check to see if the tap is blocked and if you need to make some small changes to let the stress flow away again.

Multi-tasking isn't the answer!

In an article, by the Dana Foundation, about how we learn best was a section about multitasking. Something many of us believe we are good at or should be good at.

Here's what the Dana Foundation says about multitasking (specifically in relation to learning).

We often think that multitasking, or trying to undertake multiple activities at the same time, can help us better keep up with school or work demands—and, perhaps, is even necessary to learn new material in today’s modern world. Yet, studies consistently show that human beings are terrible multitaskers. When we attempt to do more than one thing at once, valuable information, without fail, falls through the cracks. People have a hard time believing this, however—everyone seems to think they are great at multi-tasking, even when shown evidence to the contrary.

Neuroscientists have tried to train people to be better multitaskers, especially now that so many of us are forever tethered to smart devices that ping, beep, and alert every few minutes, taking our attention away from our primary task. While those studies suggest that we may not completely fail when we mix tasks that involve distinct types of cognitive resources (e.g., walking while talking with a friend or doing math while listening to music), they still involve a whole lot of cognitive delegation. The brain still has to figure out where to direct our attention. Because of that, multitasking always comes at some cost. For optimal learning, it’s best to focus on one thing at a time.

It was interesting to see there is evidence that listening to music or doodling whilst learning can actually be beneficial. You can read the full article here: https://dana.org/article/how-we-learn/

One of things I love about being a solution-focused hypnotherapist is the variety of ways I can help people.

Life is complicated and sometimes we need a little extra help to navigate a way forward.

80-90% of what a doctor sees in any given day is related to our collective modern lifestyles. Many people (doctors included) simply do not understand this. Most of the complaints that afflict us are simply not seen in more traditional societies and cultures.

PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT ABOUT BLAME. I understand that life can feel tough for so many people. But, we have to collectively understand that when we start paying attention to
👉🏾FOOD,
👉🏾MOVEMENT,
👉🏾SLEEP
👉🏾STRESS..it is amazing how many ‘downstream symptoms’ start to get better or even vanish.

Yes, I know that many people find change hard. But, having seen thousands of patients over the past 23 years, I am pretty clear on the key ingredients necessary for long term change.
