Another early morning swim in the bag 🎉
So glad I pushed through the ‘what if you can’t do it?’ thoughts trying to keep me stuck.

It was colder today but I warmed up much faster than Wednesday, thank God!

What have you been wanting to do but your comfort zone is saying, hell no, why you want to do that?!

14 day grief support challenge, day 11.

(Missed yesterday, sorry! 2 posts are coming today.)

We need focus and thinking about what we want to do and achieve can help us discover our new self, as we aren’t the same.

Dancing is healing!

Have fun with this one and allow your body to move however it wants too.

14 Day Grief Support Challenge, Day 9!

All those feelings, thoughts, emotions and sensations that are bubbling up and ready to come out, write about it today.

Don't overthink, write whatever comes to you and it doesn't even need to make sense!

I still do this regularly for my everyday life and I always feel lighter when it is out of me and onto the page.

Let me know in the comments how you are finding the challenge so far.

This is a really comforting one to do!

Be creative, and if you won’t finish it today, make sure you have a date where it will be completed and in your grief space to bring comfort.

Journalling is so overlooked for grief healing. It’s the first thing I did and I still do now, every day.

This prompt will help those of you who are just not moving forwards with your life. There will be something stuck there, that your grief is clinging onto.

When you get to the bottom of it, you will feel a huge shift!

Let me know what your main emotion is in the comments!

Mine was guilt. So much guilt. When i realised this and discovered that actually, the guilt was a protection mechanism, and I had nothing to feel guilty for, everything changed!

Follow me and keep an eye out for the launch of my guided grief journal coming at the end of March!

Grief Support Challenge, Day 5!

Temporary distraction is essential when grieving! Healing is exhausting, so today, give your body and brain a break by engaging in something that you love to do. Spend as little or as long on it as you feel you want to.

Let me know in the comments, how you are getting on!

Boundaries... they can bring a little bit of anxiety for some, but they are essential, especially when you have experienced loss.

You will have well meaning friends and family who think they know best; who are worried about you and want to be there for you, albeit in the wrong way and they are so important for you to begin processing grief on your own.

You will be feeling as though you have lost all sense of control and implementing boundaries will give you a bit of control over your life, again.

Establish who is important to you and who you want to spend time with.
Decide how much time you will give them.
If they help with shopping, cleaning, or just pop round for an hour yet spend all day with you, then you have to decide what exactly you would like them to do and communicate this to them.

Setting boundaries isn't about being a b*tch, so say you are so grateful to them, but you are beginning to feel like you need alone time to process your grief as well as connection. If you decode you are going to meet for coffee once a week, communicate this to them and say you have an hour and you look forward to seeing them. As time goes on, you will have the confidence to just say no.

You will fail at first, so just try again. They are hard and it feels uncomfortable, especially if you are fearful of them not getting in touch again.
Please know that the right people will understand.

Let me know how you are getting on!

DAY 2: 14 Day Grief Support Challenge!

Do NOT run away from this one!
I want you to write to your loved one today. If you have experienced multiple loss, then write to the person that is on your mind the most.

I want these pages tear stained, so go from your heart and pour it all out.
Nobody will ever know what you have written, but your body will feel it.

This one should bring a sense of immediate relief, in some way or another. It may be a small shift or a big one. You may find that you struggle to start, please remember what you are writing are YOUR feelings. This is no reflection on your loved one and this doesn't make you an awful person for being angry or resentful, for example. Let it all out!

Optional Extra:
Now you have let it out, you are going to know from the content of your letter what feeling/emotion is really wanting to come out to play.
I would like you to acknowledge this and be okay with it. Where in your body is it stored? I am now going to ask you a question and the very first thing that comes to you, is what you need to do:
What is your body needing you to do right now, to help push this out?
For example: crying, swaying, hitting a pillow, walking, dancing, shaking, curl up etc? Do this for as long as feel you need to.

This is a hard one, I know. But, it was THE game changer for me and I began writing regularly - I had a lot to say!

Just start, one word, then one sentence and let it flow.

Let me know in the comments how you found this and how you felt after.

Day 1!
Welcome to the 14 day grief support challenge.

This one is helping you in a variety of ways:
1. Reconnecting with yourself, passions and purpose.
2. Helping you to make new connections, to reduce loneliness.
3. Provides a source of distraction from dwelling on the past and the pain.
4. Boosts your mood and well-being.

Have a think about all those 'one day' moments. That day you said you would take the pottery or painting class, join the book club, take yourself out for coffee, write that book, meet that friend etc.

I want you to look into this today. How can you make it fit into your life? What do you need to let go of that isn't really giving you the happy feels, so that you can do this, which will? When are you going to actually meet that friend and take yourself out for a coffee?

Why not take it one step further?
Book it today! Put it in your diary and look forward to it!

I am not here to just put suggestions your way, I want you to take the action to begin healing. If you are lonely, taking this action will help you get out and meet new people. It is really important to stress that some of you will go straight ahead now and book a skydive! Some of you will arrange to meet a friend and that is a huge thing for you. Please don't compare yourself to what others do. The baby steps lead to the biggest changes!

Let me know in the comments what you are going to do and whether you have booked it.

To win a 30 minute 1:1 session with me, take a photo of your task (or my post if you don't feel confident enough to share) and share to your grid or stories every day throughout this challenge with the and tag me

Can't wait to hear what you are going to be getting up to!
