A Short Lesson in Perspective.
One of the greatest mental strength hacks you’ll be able to action straight away is by putting everything into perspective.
Your problem is never the problem.
Your reaction is the problem

IF YOU HAD €86,400 IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT… How upset would you get if someone took €10 from you?
Yes, they stole it.

Would you be willing to spend all of the remaining €86,390 to get it back?

No, of course not.
We all have 24 hours in a day, 86,400 seconds.

Don’t let the 10 seconds someone stole from you with a negative comment, action or attitude ruin your day.

You still have 86,390 seconds left to live.

Don’t spend a single second dwelling on those insignificant seconds it took for someone to try to ruin your day.
Don’t give them the satisfaction.

From the moment you wake up to the moment until you go to sleep, your reactions, emotions and thoughts are completely your own and no one else’s.

You are in control.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change

For example, a quick hack to change from a pessimistic to an optimistic mindset is to stop saying ‘sorry for being late’ for inconveniencing others.
Instead, say ‘thanks for waiting’. Replacing sorry’s with thank you’s is a quick way to change your mental outlook.

As a parent, few things are harder than watching your teenager struggle with anxiety, panic, or low self-esteem—and feeling powerless to help.

You’ve tried talking, maybe even traditional counselling, but nothing seems to truly shift. That’s where I come in.

I’m a teenage anxiety specialist—but I don’t use conventional therapy. I use powerful, proven tools that give teens back control—often in only just one session. No awkward talking. No clinical setting. Just real, effective techniques tailored to how teenagers actually think, feel, and grow.

If your teen needs help with social anxiety, overthinking, exam stress, low self-worth, or confidence issues, I can help—fast.

Need HELP Sleeping?

Need HELP Sleeping?
Do this...

It's similar to a body scan, wherein you systematically relax and shut down your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

1. First, relax your face. Start with your forehead, then your eyes, your cheeks, and your jaw, while focusing on your breathing.

2. Drop your shoulders as low as you can. Make sure you release any tension and keep your arms loose at your side including your hands and fingers. Imagine there's a warm sensation traveling from your head all the way down to your fingertips. Move down one arm at a time, relaxing each section as you go and keeping your breathing slow and steady.

3. Take a deep breath and relax your chest. Slowly inhale and exhale moving down to your stomach.

4. Relax each leg in turn. Imagine a warm sensation working its way down your thighs, knees, legs, feet, and all the way to your toes.

5. Clear your mind of any stresses. Think of one of these scenarios: (1) You're lying in a canoe on a calm lake with nothing but clear blue sky above you.
(2) You're lying in a black velvet hammock in a pitch black room.

6. Repeat these words in your mind. If you get distracted (which is natural), repeat, “Don't think,” in your head for 10 seconds.

Apparently, after six solid weeks of practice, this will work for 96% of people who try the technique.

Here's a free guide I’ve put together that parents may find helpful.
It's for teenagers struggling with low confidence and/or anxiety issues.
📘 “Simple Steps to Natural Confidence”

It's a short step-by-step instructional guide that your teen can do alone or together with you.

This isn’t just theory—it’s practical advice drawn from real-life therapy sessions I've done with teens over the years and in conjunction with many schools around Donegal.

As a therapist (and parent) who specialises in helping teens suffering anxiety and low self-esteem, I also know how hard it is for parents to watch their child struggle and not know what to say or do.

You’re not alone in this—and neither is your teen. 💬💙

The link below will take you directly to the guide and doesn't look for any details from you to get there.
