Every thought you have is like a seed. Some thoughts grow into beautiful flowers that uplift you, inspire you, and help you feel calm and motivated. Others, if left unchecked, can become weeds — negative thoughts that stress you out, make you anxious, or bring you down.

**Ways to Calm an Overactive or Negative Mind**
>>Notice Your Thoughts. Pause and observe your thoughts without judgment. Simply naming them (“That’s a worry thought”) can create space between you and the thought.
>>Practice Deep Breathing. Slow, deep breaths activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Try inhaling for 4 counts, holding 2, exhaling for 6. Repeat several times.
>>Write It Down . Journaling your worries or negative thoughts can help clear your mind and organise what’s bothering you.
>>Ground Yourself in the Present. Focus on your senses: what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. Mindfulness exercises reduce overthinking.
>>Challenge Negative Thoughts. Ask: “Is this thought 100% true? What evidence do I have?” Replace catastrophic thinking with realistic alternatives.

For a medicare rebatable appointment we accept mental care plans from your GP or we can offer you a private health fund rebate if your fund allows.

Ever wondered what a Mental Health Treatment Plan actually is?
It’s a support plan your GP creates to help you access the right mental health care — and it can make a big difference. With a care plan, you can get rebated sessions with a psychologist (up to 10 sessions per year), giving you affordable access to professional support for things like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or stress.
At CK Health, our psychologists work closely with you and your GP to help you move forward with the right care, at your pace.
If you’ve been thinking about getting support, start by booking a GP appointment and asking about a Mental Health Treatment Plan. You deserve the help that makes life feel lighter again 💛
