💭 The Cognitive Model 💭

How we think about a situation shapes how we feel — and how we act. 🌿

When something happens (a situation), we interpret it through our thoughts. Those thoughts then influence our feelings, which lead to our behaviours and reactions.

Understanding this cycle can help us pause, reflect, and make small changes that lead to healthier thinking patterns and emotional wellbeing. 💙

🥪🍎 **6 Key Components for a Healthy Lunch Box** 🍉🥦

Packing a balanced lunch helps kids stay energised, focused, and ready to learn throughout the day! 🌿 Here’s how to build a lunch box that fuels their body *and* mind:

1️⃣ **Sandwich or Wrap with Lean Protein**
• Choose wholegrain or grainy bread for extra fibre.
• Add a protein source like egg, tuna, 97% fat-free ham, chicken, or turkey.
• Include salad or veggies for a fibre boost.

2️⃣ **Dairy Source** 🧀
A cheese stick or yoghurt provides calcium — essential for growing bones and keeping kids strong and active.

3️⃣ **Vegetables** 🥕
Veggie sticks or salad are full of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Always include at least one serving!

4️⃣ **Fruit** 🍎
A great source of natural energy, hydration, and vitamins — choose seasonal fruit for variety.

5️⃣ **Healthy Packaged Snack** 🍿
Try plain popcorn, Happy Snack Company products, Sunbites Grainy Funbites, Healtheries Potato Stix, or Sun Rice Wholegrain Mini Bites.

6️⃣ **Water** 💧
The healthiest (and simplest) drink choice for hydration and focus.

Small changes can make a big difference — a colourful, balanced lunch box supports healthy minds and happy learners! 💙

💬 **Myth:** “Therapy is only for fixing problems.”
💙 **Fact:** Therapy helps build strengths, boost confidence, and support wellbeing — for everyone.

Therapy isn’t just about addressing challenges; it’s also a space for growth, reflection, and self-understanding. 🌿
You don’t need to wait until things feel hard to reach out — sometimes, therapy is about maintaining the progress you’ve already made.

💛 World Kindness Day — November 13 💛

Kindness doesn’t have to be grand to make a difference. 🌿
A smile, a kind word, a small gesture — they all have the power to brighten someone’s day (including your own).

Today, let’s pause and choose kindness — towards others, and towards ourselves. 💙
Because compassion, even in the smallest moments, can create ripples of change. 🌊

🌿 *The most valuable lessons in life are mistakes.* 🌿

Every mistake is an opportunity to learn, grow, and understand ourselves a little better. 💙
Instead of seeing mistakes as failures, we can see them as stepping stones — moments that shape our resilience, empathy, and self-awareness.

Progress isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about showing up, trying again, and learning along the way. 🌱

😼 *When life feels a little too calm… cue the suspicion.*

It’s funny how our brains can find something to worry about even when things are going smoothly — a gentle reminder that peace doesn’t always mean something’s wrong. 🌿

Take a breath, enjoy the quiet moments, and let yourself trust when things are going well. 💙

🧠✨ Neurodiversity Myths: Busted ✨🧠

There are many misconceptions about neurodiversity — and it’s time to set the record straight. 🌿

Neurodiversity isn’t something to be “fixed” — it’s a natural part of human variation. Every brain works differently, and that diversity brings unique strengths, creativity, and perspectives. 💙
