COLD WATER CHALLENGE UPDATE

Day 5!

To raise awareness of su***de within males.

Since 2017 I have spent my life shouting from the roof tops about ill mental health.

About su***de.

About self harm.

About eating disorders.

About all the dark and dirty stuff many shy away from.

I shine the spotlight on them. To raise awareness. To educate. To support. To help end stigma.

I won't ever stop.

By the way, fu***ng BRRRRRR!!!

But I'm actually enjoying every second of it.

25 days to go!

ARE YOU EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME?

It's easy to blame this time of year. The weather. The dark nights.

But did you know, 7 out of 10 people live with chronic stress?

Chronic meaning long term, or constantly recurring.

Locked in a constant state of fight or flight.

You feel agitated, often snapping at people. Constantly overwhelmed. The longer it goes on for, the harder it is to talk to someone and explain you're struggling.

The harder it is to talk to someone, the more intense the stress seems to get
. until you snap.

You feel physically ill. You are mentally drained, and you have to stop everything.

Every person has their limit. You're not failing, you're human.

My advice - talk to someone.

Family, friends, your GP, a therapist, me here at Yes You Can

Life doesn't have to be like this all the time.

You deserve the life you want.

NEW MONTH FOCUS

Month 11/12 of 2025!

October reflection done

November goals set (with a new challenge!)

New book chosen

Quote chosen to theme the month.

November for me is all about balance. Self care, of the healthy kind, not my most recent self sabotage kind! Fun - lots of good things planned this week. And A LOT of work!

2026 is going to be the year of Yes You Can Coaching, so time to pop a pin in the self doubt and Imposter Syndrome that has been holding me back!

What does November hold for you?

MAYBE 2025 HASN'T WENT TO PLAN SO FAR

Maybe there are things you wish you had done.

Habits you had wanted to change.

Maybe there are goals you haven't achieved.....

Take 5 minutes and picture yourself on this bench in the photo.

Or somewhere that means peace to you

And use these prompts to reflect.

- what has went well this year?
- what unexpected challenges have you faced?
- looking at your main goal, what 3 actions can you put in place now that could determine it's success?

We have 65 days left of 2025. Let's makw them count!

And remember, Yes You Can!

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN, NOT WHAT YOU CAN'T

Bit of (another) honesty post - things have been really hard recently.

My mental health has been really bad.

My physical health has been getting progressively worse. Although thankfully, hopefully, I may have some answers and a treatment plan soon!

And I just haven't been priotising the things I need to, that I KNOW help make me feel better.

Granted, my number one coping strategy is running, and right now it's intensely painful to even walk, but I know I have alternatives that I shoild be doing.

So, it's Monday. Time to focus on the things I can do. These include:

- journalling
- making nice food
- weight training
- yoga
- blogging (new post coming tomorrow!)
- using music to boost my mood
- reading. Both fiction and non-fiction
- building Yes You Can!
- practicing gratitude and self compassion!

If you're struggling too, I see you.

We've got this! Together.

CAN YOU RELATE?

Even when it's a bad day, you're a good person!

Every day is a new day.

No one else is you, but you.

SOMETIMES IT CAN BE REALLY HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS.

As adults we struggle with this often.

Yet, as a child, it can often feel so much more scary, overwhelming and a multitude of other emotions that they maybe don't even know how to describe.

Giving someone a safe space, where they have options of how they can communicate, IF THEY WANT TO, is vital.

And yes, I stressed IF they want to. Forcing any person, but especially a child, to explain how they feel can actually have a long term adverse effect.

It can create an anxiety over talking.

Trust and rapport take time.

These Zones of Regulation keyrings have really helped enhance my conversations with children, and help us both understand the best way to get to the root of how they are feeling and why.

Hi!

Thought I'd do a (pretty egotistical) post, basically letting you know who I am!

I'm Lead of Yes You Can Coaching, and general mouth piece around mental health, mindset and the beauty of physical activity!

Ill mental health, and a variety of trauma, very nearly ended my existence. More than once if I'm truthful.
Being open and honest about my experiences has been terrifying at times, and I still get those low lows, or cravings to purge, or anxiety that brings me to my knees.

But, all of this is who I am.

It is my Why.

It is why I will never, ever, stop trying to help people find their why. Their reason to keep going. Their smile 💙
