I’m not the biggest fan of a 10 tips guide to “the solution”, that said I do think we say sorry and apologise as a generic social que. A watered down, often apologising for other peoples stuff or things out of our control. Owning your share and taking reaponsibility is important, but blanket apologising - um not so much!

So here are some guides for what to say instead of “I’m sorry …”. Try out 1 or 3 or 5, rebel against the blanket sorry!

A lovely morning spent training! I had a group of 6 ladies, we delved into stressors and stress, the brain and nervous system, anger and anxiety … and got into some practical skills in expanding the toolbox on what to do about stress. We looked at how to be assertive and practiced some assertiveness skills, how to identify needs and to make these visible in our relationships and contexts, the effect of multitasking and so much more!

Thank you to the group members for bringing vulnerability and an eagerness to learn! I have left energised and fulfilled hearing that this was valuable and productive for all who attended.

What a lovely venue, thank you Roots, The Studio, Pennington! Such a stunning venue for a workshop!

Another illustration from .phish on Instagram! Loving this mental health illustration series…

Looking at the brain and nervous system. Understanding the link of brain, body and emotional functioning is so empowering.

Wellbeing and mental health is about how you relate in your world, to (and from) others AND to YOURSELF. There is so much gain from learning your body’s language!!!

Stress is normal, and can be quite helpful! But what happens when the stressors stay and the stress in your body remains… your responses start become more of a scramble - anxiety becomes the norm and your inner grumpy lives close to the surface!

Empowering yourself with knowledge and new skills can make a BIG difference! Come join me 25 May 2024 focusing on all that is stress.
