Ever have days when you think your doing well and then boom, thoughts or feelings may resurface and then.. 'Hello Anxiety, we meet again!'.

This time of year particularly things can start to pile up- 'I am at capacity' and it still overflows. Busier shops, extra jobs, later nights and more social 'doo's' than ever.

How we think will influence how we feel and our actions (CBT right there for you!). Maybe if we talk back to some feelings, we may change the way we think about some things.

Anxiety may always be there and remind you of its presence- find out what it wants.

Amongst the feeling of never ending cycle of tasks, there comes a need to recharge.
A common day for this is a Sunday to digest and 'best prepare for the week ahead'.

What about yesterday or today? These days can be any days and to remember there is flexibility and finding balance.
A fresh walk this morning to do just that.

It can take alot to walk in somewhere new to meet and talk with someone.

Take a peak at a space I work in.

Based in Ivybridge, the Devon Family Hub offers a lovely warm and welcoming setting.

An experienced team offering counselling support to families, children, young people and adults.

As the evenings are drawing in, we are still open and evening appointments are available.

This time of year particularly can be tough and meeting or speaking to someone can bring relief in times you may feel alone- you don't have to be.

Please feel able to message via FB or email,

Today marks World Menopause Day raising awareness to improve health and wellbeing and to get people talking about it.

Why don't we talk enough about this?? Is this something we have to go through and experience and THEN figure it out.

We can prepare openly for many changes in our lives, a wedding, a baby, a house move! But menopause? Many taboo subjects attached to stigma stops conversations such as this.

When Oestrogen levels drop, other symptoms start to kick in. Lets prepare for that!

''Menopause is not a disease, but the next stage of your life''

Bodies change, we as people change. Growth can be AMAZING!

Today marks World Mental Health Day- a day about promoting positive change for mental health.
Although we can do this every day, today is a reminder that:

✨ It's OK to talk
✨ Encourage conversation and check in with someone
✨ Be curious- This is also about beating stigma!
✨ Prioritise yourself.

'Talking about YOUR mental health is important. Talking ABOUT mental health is too'.

How are you? Always a good place to start.
