👉 Sometimes in our busy lives, it is hard to capture moments of beauty, stillness so we can breathe and be with our thoughts for a while.

👉 However, mindful moments of quiet, can help us to feel calm and supports our nervous system.

👉 Mindful breathing helps us to breathe deeply from our diaphragm.

👉 Mindful moments help us to have peace. Improving our cognitive function and repair.

👉 We also get vitamin D from sunlight and see all the beautiful colours around us.

What's not to like?

This is one of my favourite moments, near to where I live. Where is your favourite mindful spot?

💤 SLEEP tips for teens and parents.....

Often, as it is the summer holidays🏝️ 🌞 routines and boundaries can go a bit awire.

👉 Sometimes, we need to have fun and enjoy ourselves throughout the summer break. FACT.

👉 However, persistent poor sleep 💤 can affect our mood. We can feel more irritable, more 'edgy', more ' fidegety' and often this means we can toss and turn at night, worry before bed or during the day, as we have not processed our emotions.

👉💡 This leads to poor work, home, school or university life as our ability to cope lessons, when we have had poor sleep.

🌞 I had a lovely therapy session today with a tween and her mum, we were discussing all things SLEEP.

Here are a few tips:

💡 Reducing caffeine before bed.

💡 Regular sleep time and morning waking time helps the Circadian rhythmn.

💡 Soft music, reading, starting the process of switching off gadgets and TV 2 hours before sleep (which is hard for tweens,teens, parents).

💡Teens need 8-10 hours of sleep per night for their well-being. More than we think!

💡Teens often have a natural tendency to stay up late due to their changing biological clocks, chatting to mates on phones, googling, tick tock etc. we need to support and monitor this.

💡Obligations like early school start times, homework, extra curricular activities, and social activities can make it hard for teens to get enough sleep.

👉Therefore, good sleep hygiene is really important.

👉 phones, phones, glorious phones!!!! limit screen time, track snap chat, put on parental controls, phones away at a certain time, away from headspace, in a drawer. It is not easy, but it , can really help improve 'teen sleep quality' and improve their overall health.

💡Indeed these tips can help adults too.......!

If it is all too much and you need some guidance, come and chat with me and find out more about me helping you and your teen/ tween with sleep.

👉 The mum today was brave.

👉 Maybe book into see me for a 1:1 in clinic, I maybe able to help?

👉 Or come and join other mums, listening to how we can help tweens and teens with their health, well being and sleep and other topics to help their mental health and well being.

👉 Speak to Sarah.

🪴🌼🍂🍁🌹💐🌲🪺⛰️......

NATURE is such a healer....

🦋 Reminding us that we are all such small creatures and there is a bigger picture perhaps?

🦋 Nature keeps me grounded.

🦋 Nature restores my soul.

🦋 I love to see different animals in their natural habitats, from cows, birds, insects and I love to look and smell flowers, observe swaying trees in the breeze and watch the ripples of water on lakes and streams.

🦋 Nature help me to stop, pause and reflect for a moment. Does it do that for you too?

🦋 Nature helps me, my patients, my friends and my family.

My Acronym for Nature is:

N- Natural
A -Awesome
T- Tranquility
U- Underestimated
R- Real
E -Evolving

👉 How would you describe nature?

👉 What would your acronym for nature be?

👉 When did you last STOP, PAUSE, REST and RENEW in nature?

👉 Do you think nature helps your health, mind and well being?

👉 I would love to hear your thoughts. What does nature mean to you?

👉 I hope you like my little nature photos taken over this weekend?

❤️🦋 Have an awesome week ahead.

❤️ Can you have courage this week, to do something different?

❤️ Can you try and think differently about an event or person or situation?

❤️ Can you take brave steps towards your goals and ambitions this week?

❤️ Can you " Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway" ? (as Susan Jeffries quotes in her books).

In life, it is not always easy.....

🤔 Sometimes we get scared.

🤔 Sometimes we shy away from things due to our fears or past hurts.

🤔 Sometimes other people think they are better than us, try to make us feel bad, or say unkind things.

🤔 This can then make us feel sad, hurt, angry, frustrated and it can lower our self worth.

🤔 We can then lose our confidence.

People who hurt others, are often hurting themselves inside and are actually insecure and often in a bad place themselves.

? Otherwise - why would that person or people choose to be mean or dismissive or disrespectful to another person?

👉 So, this week can you change the polarity around?

👉 Can you do something different?

👉 Can you be more flexible in your thinking?

👉 Can you take that courageous baby step no matter how small, or that great leap of faith and step forward in hope, for a fresh start to reach your goals?

Baby steps are enough....
