Today is National Louise Day 💚
And at Calm Journey, we’re lucky enough to have two Louises (Lou’s).

Two warm, compassionate humans who hold space with care, kindness, and presence, and who bring something quietly special to the heart of Calm Journey.

Things to do before 2026 💚

28/12/2025

Over indulging

Food, drink, time, noise, people, emotions.
Over indulging doesn’t always mean excess for pleasure
sometimes it’s survival, comfort, coping.

After Christmas, many bodies feel full
many minds feel tired
many hearts feel a bit stretched.

There’s no need for guilt.
No need for punishment or promises.
Just gentle noticing.

What does your body need today
more rest
more water
more space
more kindness

You’re allowed to rebalance slowly.
Nothing is broken. 🌿

The Therapeutic Journey

Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful step. Therapy is a shared process, shaped by your willingness to explore what feels important for you, at your own pace.

At times, this exploration can feel uncomfortable. Gently turning towards past experiences or long held feelings may bring emotions such as sadness, anger, anxiety, or uncertainty. This is a natural part of deeper self-understanding.

There are no quick fixes or miracle cures. Therapy cannot guarantee changes in circumstances or behaviours. What it can offer is a supportive, accepting relationship where you are met as you are.

At Calm Journey, we commit to being alongside you, listening deeply, seeking to understand your unique experiences, noticing patterns that may be emerging, and supporting you to clarify what you want for yourself. Change, when it comes, grows from understanding, compassion, and self-acceptance.

You do not have to do this alone.

Today is Saturday.

Christmas Day and Boxing Day have been and gone, and now we are in those nowhere days.
The space between. Unsure what day it is, what we are meant to be doing, or whether we should be doing anything at all.

For some, there is nothing planned and nowhere to be.
For others, it is straight back to the grind.
And for many, Christmas has been manic, working through, caring for others, barely stopping at all.

This time of year lands differently for everyone.
Some acknowledge it.
Some push through it.
Some feel it deeply, others not at all.

However this space feels for you, we see you and we are here to support you.

Opening the gate to let Dolly out… 🐴

Just to clarify, we don’t usually encourage gates to be opened, and definitely not left open.

We’re on a working farm, and we’d rather not have Dolly (or the sheep!) heading off on their own adventure.

But in therapy, it’s a little different.
We gently explore which internal gates feel safe to open, which need time, and which are best kept closed for now.

Nothing rushed. Nothing forced.
Just thoughtful steps, at your pace, with everyone safely where they belong.

So excited for therapy I pea’d my pants 🫛

Is it wrong to feel excited for a therapy session?

Absolutely not.

You’re welcome here with every emotion excitement, nerves, curiosity, hesitation.
No feeling is too small, too much, or more important than another.

And truthfully?
Even as therapists, we get excited too.

Because therapy is about connection, growth, and showing up just as you are, peas, feelings and all 🫛😉

Supporting your mental health sometimes means
looking at things from a completely different angle.

Grounding technique of the day:
flip your perspective, stay connected, and don’t be afraid to lean on support when things feel a bit upside down.

And if you need a little extra support between sessions,
the MyLifeMe app is there to help you check in, reflect, and support yourself mentally and emotionally, wherever you are.

Help is closer than you think 💚

Winter Solstice
The longest night reminds us that light always returns.
A moment to pause, to rest, and to gently honour what this year has asked of you.
You don’t need to rush the turning.
The light will come back, slowly, in its own time.

Therapeutic intervention of the day:
regulated nervous system, supported by caffeine.

Sometimes it’s not a breakthrough you need
it’s a warm drink, a pause, and permission to sit exactly where you are.

No processing.
No fixing.
Just holding space… and the coffee ☕️💚
