Self-help and being mindful
Just a few tips on mindfulness and stress management to help you during this time of self-isolation.
Chronic Tiredness and Fatigue
Tired Tiredness is something we all suffer from at times. It is due to doing to much, stress or feeling under the weather. However chronic tiredness and fatigue is rarely talked about in wider terms you only seem to hear about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). There is another side to Chronic tiredness and fatigue that […]
Mindfulness in action
The last year saw the introduction to our family of a beautiful Tibetan Terrier puppy, Tess. Little did I know how much she would teach me about Dogs and Mindfulness. What a joy this little girl has been, she has done so much for this family of humans and animals. My two old boys, two […]
The Way To Inner Calm And Peace
I was listening to a webinar about what makes what you do as a job special. This got me thinking about what I do? I went and looked at my website and reread my strap line “the way to inner peace and calm.” So this is what I do I thought, but what do I […]
You Need Hands
Over the last few weeks I have been talking about hands a great deal within my teaching and therapy sessions. It appears to be the theme of the month so I thought why not write about hands in this blog.
Perception of Strength or Real Inner Strength
Over the years people have often commented that they feel that I am a strong person. Whilst this is humbling when you are seen asstrong it can lead to many assumptions about you by others. In the last few months this topic about people’s perception of how emotionally strong that you are, has arisen with my friends, family, clients and students.
Retreat
Over the years I have often wondered what it would be like to go on a retreat. It was certainly on my “bucket list” of things that I would like to do. I am not sure why I have never got round to actually going on one till now. So many of us these days rush around with agendas and there always seems something or someone that needs our time and attention. During one of my regular chats with my friend Chris she announced that she was planning to go on a retreat so my desire to go on retreat finally became a reality.
Time Time Time
I sometimes wonder where time goes. I often think that it speeds up as it seems to vanish into the ether without a trace. People often tell me that they are amazed at how much I seem to do and achieve, however I think I could achieve so much more which sometimes leads to frustration. I think that there is a little of the perfectionist still lurking in me which I do have to fight.
Anxiety (one woman’s journey)
So many people I meet, either as a therapist or on a course, suffer from anxiety to some extent. Anxiety can cause so much stress and trauma to an individual as it can have the effect of paralyzing them with fear. Anxiety can build up and catches an individual out as its onset can feel sudden. Anxiety can also exist in the […]
