WE ARE COMING UP TO THE LAST 12 WEEKS OF 2025!

I think it is fair to say, for various reasons including my own mental health struggles, the underlying theme of 2025 so far has been procrastination!

I know there have been some things that have had a significant impact that have been out of my control, but still, if I ask myself the question;

Have you genuinely done what you can, Claire?

The honest answer would be, no.

Out of fear

Out of self doubt

Out of avoidance

Out of sheer overwhelm.

So, with the help of some highly rated resources, I am trying a new approach.

"The process is not about being perfect, but rather about getting better and better!".

I'M STILL HERE

I'm just navigating some stuff right now.

It might always seem like I have my crap together, but truthfully, does anyone? At least the majority of the time?

Yeah?

Crap! 🤣

But seriously, one reason I do this, that I have neglected, or at least "hidden" for way too long, is honesty.

Honesty of how S**T life can seem, or lets be proper truthful, BE at times

Honesty of how ill mental health can sneak up and smack you in the chops when you least expect it

Honesty that sometimes, you just feel like you can't. Whatever that may mean to you.

But, I know I can.

Somehow.

And l know with all my heart, Yes, YOU can!

SUNDAYS LIKE THIS

Life has definitely been life-ing recently! And I've felt every bit of it.

This weekend I was determined to slow it all right down.

Yes, I've still done some gym, and my daily walks, and general stuff that comes with being an adult, but I've also rested and done activities that help me relax.

I'm currently loving Colour By Numbers, and my journals have been really beneficial to get my thoughts out of my busy head and onto paper.

If life is a bit rough at the moment, I''m right there with you.

You're not failing.

You're never alone.

Whatever it is you are working towards - Yes You Can!

BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU!

IT'S BEEN A WEEK!

I know today is usually our but truthfully, most of this week has been working on myself mentally and on my emotions.

A trigger is any stimulus—like a sound, smell, word, or image—that brings back memories or feelings from a traumatic experience, making the person feel as if they are reliving it. While the term can be used informally to mean someone is merely upset, its core meaning relates to a significant, overwhelming emotional response.

Something this week was a HUGE trigger for me.

Thing is, amongst the fear, upset and frustration, I also felt shame and guilt.

It was so much easier to beat myself up and play down my experiences to suit what I believed was what was expected.

But triggers are real.

Triggers hit hard.

Triggers can release thoughts, memories and feelings that you've tried hard to bury.

Triggers can literally bring you to your knees.

If you've been triggered this week, please, be kind to yourself. It doesn't make you weak. It doesn't mean you haven't made progress.

You're doing all you can. And I'm proud of you!

***dePreventionDay

Every single hour, someone feels like the only way out of whatever is going on day to day, in their head, is to take their own life.

Every single day, someone has thoughts that are telling them so many horrible lies. No one loves you. You're a burden. You're worthless. The world will be better off without you.

You will see a lot of stats today. A lot of motivational quotes. All good awareness, however, easy to scroll past!

But take it from someone who has been the above, who 8 years ago was very nearly part of the official figures, who for months, and if I'm completely honest, at fleeting points even years after, still thought it was the only viable option - YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Life can be hard. Really hard! But you can get help. There are people who love you. Who will be there by your side, on the other end of the phone, to counteract every lie your brain tries to tell you. Organisations and services, large and small, who truly WANT to support you.

I want to support you.

My past and my experiences are now fuel to my fire to get to where I know I can be. They are no longer the toxic sound of why I shouldn't be here ❤

WHAT DOES SEPTEMBER MEAN FOR YOU?

Not sure about you but I love when a new month starts on a Monday!

The weather is already starting to change.

The nights are drawing in.

The leaves are starting to turn.

For me, September is a chance to reflect and review where I am regarding my 2025 goals.

For some, I'm chuffed I'm on track.

For others, I am way behind! But with reflection comes awareness and a chance to adapt and refresh.

September signifies change for me, and although for many it is time to wind down and hibernate. I want to use this time to intensify my self development and personal growth.

What are your plans for September?

What are you working towards?

What did August make you aware of?

WHAT TIME OF DAY IS BEST TO EXERCISE?

Ah the grand old debate!

There have been a lot of studies that argue that it is a particular time, with scientific evidence to back the theory up.

Thing is, these arguments are valid for morning, noon AND night, so all the conflicting information can be incredibly confusing.

Add in social media influencers who dictate you should do what they do - brain chaos!

Easy answer - whatever gets you to complete your workout is the right answer.

As I always say, we are all unique. What works for me (as a rule I'm an early morning mover) may not work for you. Your daily schedule is personal to you, and the best workout is the one you can do without stress, guilt or resentment.

Same goes for duration of workout. Very few of us have over 90 minutes to dedicate to a full workout. Anything from 5 mins counts!

Any movement is progress from no movement.

Want some support with getting starting, or motivation through your plans? I'm your lass!

HAS TODAY BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

I have often had comments such as "you're always so motivated", "you make me tired with how much you do" and "you're so determined".

I massively appreciate these comments, but truthfully, it's not always the case.

I have days where all I want to do is hide.

I have days where my self doubt is so chronic I procrastinate or just straight up avoid what I need to do.

A lot of me doing all I do day to day is to avoid the guilt I get when I do actually stop.

It's a confusing, and often exhausting existence.

Not every day is a good day.

BUT

Every day, good or bad, moves you closer to your end goal.

In fact, the bad days can often teach you the most!

If today has been a not so good day, I'm wihj you. Give yourself a break and remember, who you are and why you deserve the life you're working towards.

Struggling with mindset and self esteem?

Get in touch and see how I could support you.

GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE

Anyone who knows me knows I love the sun.

The heat.

The hotter the better!

So starting cold water "therapy" was something I put off for a long time.

At first I just didn't get the point.

Then I was curious, but not enough.

Until I decided one day to take the plunge (pun absolutely intended!)

Why?

I had realised I was getting stagnant. In all areas of my life. I needed a push. A boost. Something so different I feared it.

I couldn't do mad challenges anymore due to a long term injury. So what could I do?

Now, yes of course it is easier when it's melting outside and you need to cool off. But it has also helped me in so many ways.

Officially, potential benefits include:

- Muscle Recovery: Cold water immersion may help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after exercise.
- Improved Well-being: It can increase endorphin levels, potentially improving mood and reducing anxiety symptoms.
- Cardiovascular Health: Some studies suggest it may improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but this requires further research.
- Immune System Boost: Cold water exposure might stimulate the immune system, although more research is needed to confirm this.

Personally it helped me take a step back out of my comfort zone and start to make things happen again.

What could you do this week to shake things up?

DO YOU MAKE YOUR BED?

Another random post you think.

Or is it?

Self care isn't always Instagrammable!

Sometimes it is ugly crying.

Sometimes it is eating 3 meals.

Sometimes it is one simple act. Even if the rest of the day is a non-starter.

I've had many a conversation around, "What is the point? I'm just getting back into it later.."

Well yeah. True.

But what if making your bed could be like switching the light on, on a morning.

Be the symbolic ending of the previous day, and start to a new one.

Be Habit One of Day One of you becoming the person you want to be.

For me personally, not making the bed sets my day up to be a mess. And sets my sleep that night to be as chaotic as the bed I am getting in to.

So tomorrow, are you going to make your bed?
