Mindfulness of sounds. It's not about finding silence, it's about truly listening to the sounds around you without judgment. I love it as a practice to help us learn to become less judgemental in general - including of ourselves

How to Practice Mindful Listening:
🌦️Stop and Notice: Take a moment right now. What sounds are present? The gentle hum of your computer? Distant traffic? Birds outside?
👂🏻Listen Objectively: Try to listen to the sounds as they are. Don't label them as "annoying" or "pleasant." Just notice the pitch, volume, and duration.
⚓ Use It as an Anchor: When your mind starts to wander, gently bring your attention back to a specific, present sound. It's a fantastic, portable anchor for the present moment.

The simple act of tuning in can shift you from a state of 'doing' to a state of 'being,' reducing stress and increasing your overall awareness.

Values 🌈

Do you know what your values are? Do you allow them to be the compass that guides your actions? For example - a value of fun might encourage you to call a friend, go to the pub quiz, get a joke book out the library, or make your own pizzas, using the ingredients to make faces.

I love my new "live your values deck" of cards. My old ones were lacking the colour, definitions and ability to inspire.

Are you looking for a clinic room in Bournemouth?

If you're a local therapist offering talking therapies, we have space in our beautiful Bournemouth Lansdowne therapy room available. You will be sharing with a Clinical Psychologist and a Counsellor who have established private practices

We'd prefer regular booking tenants rather than someone wanting ad hoc hours but we will try to be flexible. We can offer discounted clinical supervision and some free hours of start up mentoring/support if you needed.

We look forward to hearing from you

Gratitude - when I was doing my mindfulness training, we were tasked with keeping a gratitude journal and writing down 3 things we were grateful for each day. It didn't mean what we felt we owed others gratitude for (holding open doors etc) but instead an appreciation for things we were thankful for seeing and experiencing.

After my initial cynicism, I tried the homework and I was genuinely struck by how it changed my attitude. Knowing I had to notice 3 things a day meant I was more likely to look for interesting, funny and beautiful things each day and helped bring a more positive lens for me to look at the world through.

I was lucky enough to go to the research in dementia conference today. It was fascinating to hear about the latest innovations in diagnosis and treatment. Thank you to MARC and for putting it on and to the speakers

So pleased to share a review from this week. It's always such an honour being part of someone's life and recovery. Although I only pop in for a short period of time, I feel like the luckiest girl that I get to work with many people and help them make the changes that take them towards their desired future.

If you're expecting an email from me over the weekend, please check your spam!

I transferred from Google workspace to Microsoft on Friday and it seems my emails have been going missing into people's junk boxes. I've resent my emails this morning, but apologies if you've been waiting to hear from me.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Easter 🐇 🐣

I'm taking the Easter long weekend off work but I'll get back to my emails after the bank holidays.

Day 7: today's mindfulness practice is a guided body scan meditation. It's so relaxing and brings you in touch with your body in a compassionate and kind way. If you have any chronic pain issues, you might find this one a little challenging. However, if you are new to mindfulness and would like something which is quite easy to focus on and there's no long periods of silence then I would recommend this meditation. It's around half an hour so I won't be sharing it on Instagram. But please check out my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/lrooneypsych for the full video along with other mindfulness and meditation videos
