A busy week has been had with lots of reflections. Making changes now and taking control of the future is really important to my practice, particularly as we reach the latter weeks of the year.
So over the next few weeks, may be months, my contol will be growing in strength.
However, today is Friday and its chill time because that too is in my control.

Get your Friday feeling on!

I often hear and indeed I have said myself 'I just want to get back to the old me'
Striving for that 'old' version of self can give feelings of stuckness or hopelessness.
I mean, is it even possible? The answer is no. How can you go back in time? We can't change the past. We can change the future. We can shape and adapt ourselves into a better position through experience.
If you would like support in creating a better future then please DM or email sblackshaw.counselling@gmail.com

The first step can feel like the hardest, yet it is the most rewarding

Grief. We all experience grief differently. Not one of us feel the same. We may have similar experiences or events.
Here's a little of what I've learned from the passing of my brother 15 years ago.

Life is short,
Live life for you not others
Grief doesn't end as the church doors close
Love doesn't waver
Remembering and celebrating is important
Being happy and smiling again isn't disrespectful
Squeeze and love your people just a little tighter
There's joy to be found in everyday
Everyday offers joy
Speak openly about grief, someone might benefit
Someone dying doesn't mean your life is over
Sitting with grief is ok as long as you don't unpack
Grief is hard, it does get easier if you allow growth
Grief can be messy and unpredictable - that's normal
You're gonna be ok

The journey of life is not a race, so learn to slow down and enjoy the ride.
Do you want to learn how to turn down the gas?
Then book a session today by a DM or email to sblackshaw.counselling@gmail.com
It's never too soon or too late to change
Give it a go, what have you to lose?

Becoming your true self can be incredibly difficult when you're constantly seeking approval from others. Yet in a space where external expectations quiet down, there's a powerful sense of freedom in finally meeting, accepting, the real you.
Fancy giving it a try?

Being a weeble is a choice...not easy just a choice.
Do you need support to get back up? To become a weeble?
Then book a session today 🥰

*for those not as old as me, a weeble is a 1970's toy. An egg shaped figure with a marketing tag line of 'weebles wobble but they don't fall down'

What a wonderful evening of connecting. Sometimes you've got to fight the cold night urge to put your pj's on. 🥰
