Looking after your mental health -

🥑 Pay attention to your nutrition. A whole food, one ingredient eating plan that is individualised to how your unique body functions is key to reducing inflammation that is strongly related to mental health conditions and also gives your brain and body the key nutrients it requires to think, focus, maintain a stable mood, be energised, rest and sleep.

🤸🏽‍♀️Move your body regularly - find and regularly engage in a movement practice that you enjoy. Movement is a good way to de-stress, reset body, mind and emotions and boost brain neurotransmitters.

🧘🏽‍♀️Develop and engage consistent stress management tools. Being outdoors in nature, right -brained activities such as creative tasks, music and mind-body practices are very useful to restore an overworked nervous system

💤 Prioritise sleep - quantity and quality of sleep both matter for your mental well-being. Explore how much sleep you need to wake feeling refreshed the next day. Developing a sleep routine and supportive sleep practices can be very helpful in this regard.

👯‍♀️ Invest in quality connections - authentic relationships that you can trust and depend on. Feeling lonely or isolated triggers the same neurological areas in the brain as when one is in physical pain so don't underestimate our need as human beings to have a tribe of people to do life with.

Happy Children's Day 👣

To all the precious little ones and the child in us all - You are loved, You are valued, You have purpose and significance, You are a gift to the world, You are enough !!

As you treasure your children today remember this is what a child needs :

Safety and Connection are the primary needs of all children. They are like two sides of the same coin -

💑 The need to feel physically safe, in a home and living environment that is not physically dangerous or threatening, causes fear or stress. Consistent and adequate basic needs such food, shelter, clothing and education

💑 Emotional safety - consistently experiencing warm and loving parental relationships that are unconditionally accepting, non judgmental. A space where all emotions and experiences can be felt and expressed - a space for a child to be their authentic self.

💑 Stable, consistent and predictable connection - a bond with parents/significant others where a child feels seen and understood, even when they don't understand themselves, they can look into the emotional mirror of these relationships which help them to make sense of themselves.

💑Emotional regulation is a key feature of safe connections characterised by parents who are attuned to what's happening for their child, can help to facilitate expression of emotions, to name, make sense of and provide coping mechanisms.

💑 Apart from regulating emotions safe and healthy connections involve seeing and supporting other aspects of a child's development such as body (nutrition, hormones, physical wellbeing etc), mind (unique aspects to how this child thinks, learns and needs stimulation etc), and spirit (beliefs, values, sense of purpose and meaning)

It sounds like a tall order when most of us parents are wounded children ourselves but awareness and conscious parenting helps us to pay attention to and heal our own childhood needs so that we can in turn show up in the way that our kids need us most!

Great book - dispelling myths and tackling issues that people find uncomfortable to address even in the safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic space.

Celebrating love....

There is a lot of hype and pressure around occasions such as Valentine's day. It's easy to fall into the trap of the idealized view of what love and relationships should be. Dangerous words like "always", "forever", "my everything", "you complete me"... flaunt cards and notes perpetuating a fantasy.

This year I encourage you to stop and meaningfully consider what you truly want to convey to those you love. As you take a moment to celebrate your partner, children, friends, family, friends who are the family - communicate honestly and authentically -

💕 Share gratitude for what they bring to your world

💕 Express appreciation for who they are, what you truthfully value and admire in them

💕 Make commitments to the relationship based on where you are at, what you can genuinely bring, and the next growth step you are working toward

💕 Balance hope with expectations that match reality

💜💜💜 Most of all, take a moment to consider how you are loving yourself. The work you are doing on You is the most integral element that you bring to any relationship.
