My mindful morning with mabel!

I know In mindfulness you are always encouraged to go into nature but that doesn’t have to mean you have to travel or find the most picturesque spot. You can find nature anywhere. We just went in the garden and had to look for the colours of the rainbow.

The one comforting thing bout nature is that it’s always constant, no matter the chaos around it, nature always does it’s thing!

Thank you mabel for my mindful morning.

Many of you have noticed that I’m not posting as much as usual and I want everyone to know I’m fine but just finding things a tricky to navigate at the moment.

Dealing with a terminal illness within the family is literally one of the weirdest and most unsettling situations iv ever lived through. Some days I can take on the world and others I’m plagued with fears of the future and I can barely look after myself properly, let alone guide others.

As a family we are all truly embracing life in the most mindful way possible. Trying to live in the present moment and take each day as it comes. We try not to look too far ahead as quite frankly it’s too painful to think about.

It’s in my nature to help and guide others but with that comes the almighty sense of disappointment of letting people down when I’m just not strong enough myself to help others. This is a huge thing for me.

I do have a plan though:

♥️ my page and stories will change. I’m just going to show you guys how I use all my tools to help myself. Not to advise or guide others as we are all different and deal with things differently. I’ll share how I cope and who knows that in turn may help others.

♥️ no new clients. I’m more than happy to carry on helping my regulars. I’m blessed to be surrounded by people that understand that sometimes I have to reschedule or I’m just not feeling up to the energy challenge that day.

♥️ group work is fine. The Sunday slow downs and the plan to help the children will still resume. With the support and kindness of lovely Lucy! I love doing these.

♥️ I will literally just share with you all what I’m doing and how I’m doing it, there may be others struggling that day who see a post and it gives them hope or an incentive to keep going. It will be what I’m doing, not what everyone has to do. Only we know deep down how to help ourselves.

We all need a reminder that even in the darker times there is still light. By posting regularly the little things I’m doing, it will encourage me to keep seeking that light and find them glimmers each day.

Love and light,
Steph

I am Forever grateful to be able to host such calming and relaxing sessions.

Today we gathered at Bramerton Village Hall with a group of wonderful women. We discussed the power of the mind, we explored breathing techniques and introduced mindfulness. All topped off with the most beautiful sound bath infused with reiki.

It’s what Sundays are made for!

Also let’s celebrate friends and supporting each other. With all that is going on in my little world at the moment I would genuinely struggle to do these sessions without Lucy’s support. Together we make an amazing team.

Love and light

Lucy and I have a few spaces left. I know it’s a little further out than my usual slowdowns but if anyone really wants to come and needs a lift I have space for 2 in my car. We can all go together.

I love our slow downs and Lucy has found the most quaint little place for us to hold this one.

I think this is what Sundays are made for, slowing down, releasing some stress, settling that nervous system and relaxing deeply.

Love and light

Part of my conscious effort to slow down was to get out in nature more (my happy place). We joined Suffolk Wildlife Trust last week and with all the resources in our welcome pack we headed out.

This is a great way to be mindful, Scarlett loves it, takes a bit of convincing to get her out but once she’s out I cant get her home again! Ha.

Even the most visited places become different when you start looking at things differently.

A lot of people say they don’t get mindfulness and it’s not always about sitting in silence and breathing. It’s all about anchoring yourself in the present moment. Whilst you concentrate on what you have around you, you stop thinking the anxious thoughts or worrying over the mammoth tasks ahead. All that matters is the here and now. It’s great for the kiddies to!

Happy hunting

On Sunday I plan to do something a bit unique. I’m going to be showing people how to find their anchor in mindfulness and how to use it in everyday life.

I’ll show you how to use your anchor, how to stay present and calm that nervous system even when there is chaos around you.

I’ll have my little station all set up and even though the hall will be busy with people searching out stalls and connecting with other vendors. I’ll show how nothing matters outside of your own little bubble.

Just think how useful that tool will be! There will never be an excuse again not to turn to mindfulness. You can be mindful anywhere and I will prove it to you!

Iv got my anchor badges at the ready 🥰

Love and light

I am very honoured to have been invited to take part in this amazing event. I love to share my coping mechanisms with others. Things like this bring me joy and excitement, much like the slow downs and retreats.

Please come along and see me! I’m scheduled to do a mindfulness talk at 11am then I will be free to guide you with mindfulness all day long. I can help you with questions about mindfulness, you can earn your anchor badge by joining me in a mindfulness meditation and using mindfulness as your anchor. Weather permitting I will take groups out into nature for more mindfulness experiences.

We have a whole host of amazing guest speakers, stall holders and refreshments. You can literally spend the whole day with us and it’s free entry!

Let me know if you hope to come and I will keep my eye out for you!

Love and light
Steph

It’s been a weird few months! This is in no way a pity post, it is a realistic and hopefully relatable one.

Iv often suffered with a funky heart and for many years now it’s behaved and caused me no issues. Over the last few months it started up again. Banging, racing heart beat, fluttering skipping beats. Imagine the feeling you get when your falling. Just like that but at random times for no reason.

I had a feeling I knew exactly what was up but needed the docs to help me confirm it. Guess what it is……..

Stress! Bloody stress! The one thing I try so desperately to control.

Admittedly I do have a lot going on behind the scenes but I try so hard to keep things on an even keel. Unfortunately we can’t control the things that go on around us, all we can do is control the way we react to it.

So good news, the ticker is perfectly fine it’s just screaming at me to slow down and take back control.

I wanted to share this to again show that I share what I do because stress and anxiety play a huge part in my life and we all suffer in our own ways. I’m lucky enough to have all the tools I need, so I have literally taken everything back to basics. Treated myself like I would anyone else who would come to me asking for help.

None of us are perfect, no one has it all together all the time (if they have I don’t believe them! Ha) so let’s just all help each other, share our tools, our coping mechanisms and live as calmly and mindfully as we can in this mega hectic and stressful world we all live in.

I have some big decisions to make on how on earth I cut down on all the things I do! I love everything I do and helping others makes me so happy. So bare with whilst I try to figure out how to do this! Ha

Just know that I always try to practice what I preach, I always come from a place of empathy as I know exactly what it’s like to feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. We aren’t weak when we go through these stages, we are strong! We are battling through and we must remember that this to shall pass!

Love and light
Steph
