Personal post 🌟
So about a month ago I decided I was sick of my own bu****it and it was time to do something. I did my first workout in about 2 years, it was HARD. Like, really hard.
From that day, I did around 3/4 workouts a week using body weight, kettlebell and dumbells. I also incorporated walking into my week, aka the school run. I stuck this out for 4 weeks straight.

But then... Life... Last week I ran out of steam. My gran passed away not long ago. The funeral was today in Glasgow, and I just couldn't make it unfortunately. All week I've been feeling s**t about it.
I let myself feel s**t, I'd say I've even wallowed a little bit. Exercise has been the last thing I wanted to do. Until yesterday. I pulled it together and got the weights out and I've just done another one today.

This post is a little bit of post workout smugness, a little bit of accountability and a little bit to show you that it's OK to climb off the horse for a bit... As long as once you're done wallowing, you get back on.

I loved my Gran and I miss my family in Glasgow today. But I've got a baby who's very much attached to the b**b, I'm still not back in full force, and I'm being kind to myself today.

I hope everyone has a good weekend ❤️🌟

Eastenders are covering perimenopause with Honey talking about her symptoms. It’s great to see this topic is now getting some coverage from tv, influencers etc.

Perimenopause is something that will affect almost 50% of the workforce, yet there is a complete lack of education, awareness and support in the workplace. What can be done to continue this momentum and make the work place better equipped to deal with women going through this, or those who inevitably will later?

🗣️ Let’s normalise conversations - no I don’t mean over sharing every detail over a meal deal, but if you are struggling at work due to symptoms let’s all be open together to help remove stigma, and work together to support each other

👩‍🏫Let’s educate - having conversations is the start of this. Did you know there are 30-40 symptoms such as insomnia, brain fog and anxiety to name a few? I didn’t! There are so many useful articles online for HR/Workplaces, here’s one that took 30 seconds to find: https://lnkd.in/esRBQPCp

🫂Lets Support - what initiatives can your workplace embed to support? Online docs for education? Flexible working? Etc

Let’s stop the stigma, and help support and retain experienced women in the workplace!

A lot of people still hold on to misconceptions about hypnotherapy. As practitioners, we really need to increase credibility by educating our clients on what hypnotherapy is and isn't.

🌟 It is the oldest form of western psychotherapy
🌟 It can treat a wide range of medical and psychological conditions
🌟 It works well as an adjunct to other interventions
🌟 In psychology (particularly sports psychology) we use the term guided visualisation (it's hypnosis lol)
🌟 It is not special, magic, or anything other than a normal mechanism everyone is capable of

I love my job SO MUCH ❤️💜❤️
This week in therapy it's been busy. I'm really getting back into the swing of it now baby is getting bigger. I just need to find some time to keep up with admin and lay down some plans for the future.

I've heard so many wild and incredible life stories this week. It really is an honour to do this job 💜

Sunday vibes....

Is it depression or is it situational awareness? Is it anxiety or are you being pushed to your limit every day?

Sometimes people come to me seeking help and it becomes apparent the issue isn't really them, it's their environment.

So, in cases like this, the situation needs fixing and then the rest is so much easier to deal with.

If there is an area of your life which is causing you an issue at the moment, it's time to get serious about your wellbeing. Identify it. Find an exit route. If none seems to exist, talk to someone.

The things we tell ourselves become who we are. What keeps you stuck in past versions of yourself? Is it that "you just can't change" or that "you're not smart/strong/brave enough".

The words you speak to yourself are so important. If you want something different, start talking to yourself differently.

Remember:
If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always had

Monday back in the therapy room. It's been hectic guys. This weekend we took the kids to Hayling Island for a mini caravan break. Do other parents come back from these totally cream crackered? I feel like staying at home is more of a holiday than whatever that chaos was LOL 😂
BUT, it was fun AND I managed a little nap to make up for it. It was a relief to go to work to be honest HAHA.
Lots of updates and things to follow this week. Plus 6 brand new starters before the month ends which is exciting.
Anyways, happy Monday. ❤️

It's really hard when you talk to someone that holds strong beliefs about themselves, others or the world. And don't get me wrong, we ALL can do this at times.
But, the most important trait you can have if you want to succeed is the ability to change your mind or at least attempt to see other perspectives.

Some people don't want to hear what you're saying because it challenges their whole belief system, so you end up having a convoluted conversation. They may very well cherry pick what you're attempting to communicate. You may find yourself doing the same with them. This uncomfortable feeling when challenged is cognitive dissonance and it can make you literally ignore any new information, become defensive and rationalise your original position even further.
Your brain literally looks for evidence to support your existing beliefs all the time (cheers Reticular activating system).

So be mindful of this. Don't get embroiled trying to convince anyone. Always stand up for what you believe in but remember that someone will always have a different perspective to you, and that doesn't automatically make them wrong either.

Be willing to change your mind, always. (and don't waste time trying to get other people to change theirs because, even with the right intentions, they might not be able to hear you).

There's been quite a bit of sad news this week ❤️. Loss can be bittersweet.

Back in the classroom today for Module 6 of the Hypnotherapy Diploma.
Got to catch up with FINALLY ❤️💋 and 💜💞and Mark and Adam were there too.
Really looking forward to October when I can do both days again. I must admit I'm definitely more of an ornamental classroom assistant this year 😂.

I really feel like a cloud has lifted over the last few weeks in respects to the aftermath of adding a new baby into the mix. Roll on summer!

Love you guys x x
