December 20th

"Activate your senses to be more present"

See: Spot five things around you.
Touch: Notice four things you can feel.
Hear: Listen for three sounds.
Smell: Detect two scents.
Taste: Identify one taste.

Pause and slowly tune into each sense, taking time to observe details. Make it part of your daily routine, or use it as needed to pull you into the here and now.

December 19th

Swipe to see some of our go to stretches for todays mindfulness task.

Do you struggle to wakeup in the morning or to wind down at night?

Have you tried stretching?

Putting aside a few minutes each day to do some stretches can help you find clarity and calmness. Its a time to focus on you, release those endorphins, loosen your muscles and connect with your body. You could get creative and add in breathing exercises too.

The best thing is you can do it anywhere anytime as a reset for your day.

Sunlight is a natural healer and enhancer of health when enjoyed responsibly. By understanding and embracing the benefits of getting some sun exposure, we can improve our physical and mental health in a holistic and enjoyable way.

Vitamin D, perhaps the most well known benefit we get from the sun. Great for us physically and Mentally. Great for Mood regulation, bone health, immune function and better sleep quality.

If you struggle to find the time to get outdoors try including it in your daily routine where you can whether it be moving your workspace outdoors, exercising outdoors instead of hitting the gym, try and be creative where you can and most importantly remember to be sun safe!

December 11th

L E A R N to be S T I L L

In today's fast-paced world, where life is a constant flurry of activity, the importance of stillness and calm has never been more crucial.

Our lives are often filled with distractions and packed schedules, hindering our minds from slowing down, processing events, and engaging in deep reflection. Embracing stillness is vital, as it enables our brains to tap into their natural ability to work through thoughts and emotions effectively.

While the notion of boredom might seem daunting, it is, in fact, a state we should welcome more into our lives. Slowing down is beneficial for both our mental and physical well-being. Boredom isn't a negative; it's an opportunity for personal growth and rejuvenation.

As we navigate through this particular time of year, let's prioritize being still and moving at a slower pace. This approach will provide us with the much-needed space to rest, regroup, and thoughtfully process our lives.

Whilst its a happy time of year for most, the holiday season can be incredibly tricky - we feel pressure to keep up, to attend everything, to be as happy as other families, to be ready to host, to be ready to meet other people's needs to go above and beyond with presents... you see where i am going with this.

The holidays are a time that we get concerned about fitting everything in, so that gym class you may attend doesn't happen, or the meditation session is forgotten about, or the healthcare appointment is pushed to after the holidays. but maintaining healthy boundaries in relation to your health, relationship and finances is what will help you cope with the holiday season.

Try Practicing some of these boundaries:
- I'd love to host, if you could all please bring a dish and help clean up afterwards.
- Thankyou for asking me to help, but i have too much going on and i need to hand that task over to someone else.
- I know it is a free country, and i appreciate you're entitled to your opinion, but that language makes me uncomfortable and rather than fighting lets change the subject.
- I wish i could, but i really cant, thankyou for understanding
- Thankyou for respecting my wishes
- I am comfortable not drinking. Thankyou for wanting to involve me but i feel included regardless of whether i drink or not.

It's essential to maintain proper hydration for both physical and mental health. Aim for the recommended 8-10 glasses of water a day, and listen to your body's cues for hydration. Remember, by the time you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated.

Not drinking enough water can have several negative mental health impacts. Increased Stress Levels Brain Fog Mood Fluctuations Fatigue Interrupted Sleep Memory Problems

If you are anything like us and struggle to maintain a healthy water intake here are a few tips and tricks we recommend trying. Set Regular Reminders Flavor Your Water Use a Water Tracking App Carry a Reusable Water Bottle Eat Water-Rich Foods Establish a Routine Monitor Your Urine Color

Stay hydrated for a healthier, happier mind!

Clear Space Clear Mind 🤍

The way we organise and maintain our living or working spaces can impact on our well-being.

Why?

When your space is cluttered or unorganised, it can create a sense of chaos and unease = increased stress and anxiety. It's not just about the physical mess, but also about how our brains notices and deals with the environment around us. A cluttered space can make it difficult for our minds to relax and focus, often leading to feelings of being overwhelmed and distracted.

But there's good news! It's not just about cleaning up; it's about creating a space that feels calm and balanced. This sense of accomplishment and the creation of an enjoyable environment can uplift your mood, reduce feelings of depression, and increase overall happiness.

The key is to begin with small, manageable steps. You don't have to overhaul your entire space in one day. Each small action you take is a step towards a less cluttered space and a clearer mind. Remember, a clear space doesn't just mean a tidy room; it's about creating an environment where your mind can relax, focus, and thrive.

December can be particularly overwhelming, and it's normal to struggle with maintaining connections. While we often intend to reconnect with friends or relatives, various obstacles can make this challenging.

Consider setting aside a bit of time each week for connection, this doesn't have to be a grand gesture; sometimes a short phone call, a quick message, or a brief meet-up can be incredibly significant.

Remember, connecting with others, even in small ways, can significantly enhance your sense of belonging, boost your positivity and motivation, and improve your overall mental health. But it's also crucial to be gentle with yourself. If you find it difficult to connect during this time, don't be hard on yourself. It's important to respect your own pace and comfort level in social interactions. Your well-being is just as important as the connections you make.

"The Power of Monthly Intentions"

Intentions are guiding principles for how you want to live, work, and play. They are not just goals but encompass the values and aspirations that drive you.

Christmas has arrived at Liberated Psychology 🎄

If you are anything like us, then you probably feel a bit overwhelmed coming into the season of festivities and the pressures that can sometimes come with the holiday season. Not to mention we have zero self-control around chocolate!

So, to keep our sanity throughout this time of year (and manage our self control) we thought we would put together a different form of an advent calendar. Check in with us daily to see our daily advent task for well-being.

I often see clients who struggle to take care of themselves, so here are some of the MANY reasons and benefits to start your own self-care plan.

If you aren't already prioritising self-care in your life, I encourage you to start today. I completely get it, the weeks are busy and there are the demands of work, parenthood etc all rolled into one - but it doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Just taking a few minutes each day to care for yourself can make a big difference in your overall well-being has been shown in research to have huge reductions in your daily stress and anxiety.

Self-care is not selfish, it's essential. It also doesn't have to be fancy, instagram worthy or difficult to achieve, it can take 5-minutes.

Taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being is crucial for living a happy and fulfilling life. Make sure to prioritise yourself and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

Whilst the saying can be irritating, it is true - you can't pour from an empty cup.
