Salutations to all of you,

I hope this time of year is an easy one for all of you. I know how stressful it can be with so much going on, so it is my wish and blessing that it is abundantly stress free and relaxing for all of you. I hope that you get a little bit of what you want and need 😉🧡

As for me, I will be closing on select days over the holidays, but not closing down completely. From the 23rd-27th and the 31st-2nd of January I will be away and doing festive things.

If I don't speak to you in those times, may you all enjoy your Yultide/ New Year Celebrations. I can't wait to see you all in the new year from my new place of operations and continue the wonderful healing work together.

Much love,

Seth

"Your thoughts are like passing trains... Mindfulness is choosing not to board every one".

- Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh

A misconception about this simple quote is that it is hard to practice... While any new skill does take time to learn, the process of liberating yourself from the ingrained habit patterns of the mind is a very real, tangible process.

The Buddhist says that the volitions of the mind are based on its impressions or sankhara's (experiences you've collected from everyday life).

Everytime you "board that train" of thought, you essentially fuel that sankhara. Mindfulness, in this example, is a tool that can help you break this cycle... Just because the thought is there, doesn't mean you have to "hop on it." Mindfulness can help you break free from your compulsive or impulsive behaviours and thoughts... It can teach you patience and presence. You just have to want it 😊 persistence is key...

Nice little joke to start the week 😉

I hope you are all well!

UNDERSTANDING CONFIRMATOIN BIAS

A Mental Health & Self-Awareness Lesson

Confirmation bias is a common thinking pattern where we naturally pay more attention to information that supports what we already believe—and overlook or dismiss information that challenges those beliefs. This personal bias affects everyone, and understanding it is an important part of maintaining mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Confirmation bias occurs when:

1. We selectively notice evidence that reinforces our existing beliefs.
2. We give extra weight to information that “fits” what we expect.
3. We ignore or minimise information that contradicts our assumptions.

This isn’t intentional—it’s simply how the brain tries to make quick sense of the world.
But left unchallenged, it can become harmful.

Why It Matters for Mental Health
1. It can reinforce negative self-beliefs

If someone already believes “I’m not good enough,” their mind may highlight perceived failures and overlook successes.
This strengthens low self-esteem and increases distress.

2. It can cause misunderstandings in relationships

If we assume someone dislikes us or isn’t trustworthy, we may focus only on moments that seem to confirm that belief—even when there is positive or neutral evidence to the contrary.

3. It can limit growth and learning

When we assume our first interpretation is correct, we may stop seeking new perspectives or insights.
This reduces flexibility and resilience.

4. It can intensify anxiety

Anxious thoughts often rely on confirmation bias, causing people to notice only threatening cues in their environment.

So, what are some signs that you may be experiencing confirmation bias?

- You mostly notice information that supports your existing belief.
- You tend to dismiss or explain away anything that contradicts your view.
- You make quick conclusions and stick with them, even as new information appears.
- You rarely question why you believe something.
- You interpret neutral events in a way that supports your assumption.

It’s important that you recognise these signs so that you can take a meaningful step toward better mental clarity.

How to Reduce Confirmation Bias
1. Ask yourself: “What evidence would show I’m mistaken? How could I challenge this belief objectively”

This re-frames the situation and helps open your mind to alternative explanations.

2. Consider other interpretations:

- “What else could this mean?”
- “Is there another way to see this situation?”

This builds cognitive flexibility.

3. Seek out information that challenges your belief

This is not about proving yourself wrong—it’s about gaining accuracy and balance.

4. Slow down your thinking

When emotions are high, confirmation bias becomes stronger. Pausing before reacting or concluding helps you see more clearly. This will mean the difference between a subjective/ reactive experience vs. objective/ controlled response.

5. Talk things through with someone you trust

Another person can help you see details or perspectives you may have overlooked.

Some final thoughts to consider:

Confirmation bias is a natural part of human thinking, but being aware of it helps us stay balanced, compassionate, and open-minded. By actively challenging our assumptions and inviting broader perspectives, we support healthier thinking patterns and more meaningful relationships—with ourselves and others.
