When we step outside and slow down, our nervous system can relax.
Even a few minutes in nature can reduce stress, quiet anxious thoughts and help us feel better in both body and mind ☁️

Letting go isn’t giving up, it’s choosing yourself🌻

What’s not aligned with your wellbeing will eventually drain you.

Release it to make room for peace, clarity and growth.

We often laugh at “grandma habits"...but your nervous system doesn’t find them funny.
It finds them safe.

🫖 Why they help:

🧠 Predictability calms the brain.
Simple routines reduce decision fatigue and signal safety to your nervous system.

☁️ Slowness lowers stress hormones.
Knitting, gardening, cooking, walking, rhythmic, repetitive movements tell your body it can downshift.

⏳️ Rest is not laziness.
Regular naps, quiet evenings, and proper sleep restore emotional regulation and resilience.

✨️ Less stimulation = more regulation.
Lower noise, fewer screens, softer lighting help an overworked nervous system settle.

🌱Care is built into the day
Warm meals. Fresh air. Sitting down. These aren’t luxuries, they’re regulation tools.

You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to optimise calm.
Sometimes, wellbeing looks like living a little slower 🫶

A trigger pulls us back to the age the pain was first felt. In that moment, your nervous system isn’t responding to what’s happening now, it’s responding to what once felt overwhelming or unsafe.

The intensity comes from the body remembering a time when you didn’t yet have the language, power, or protection you have today.

This isn’t weakness. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do: trying to keep you safe.

The work isn’t to judge the reaction, but to gently remind yourself that you are no longer in that moment.

You have more choices now. More resources. More capacity. And with practice, your body can learn that the danger has passed 🫶

✨️Online CBT Workshop ✨️

• Supportive • Practical • No Pressure
You don’t have to do this alone 💙

Anxiety isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you.
It’s a sign that your nervous system has been working overtime.

In this CBT-based online workshop, we’ll slow things down and make anxiety feel more understandable and more manageable.

You’ll learn:

🌱Why anxiety shows up the way it does.
🧠 How your thoughts, body, and behaviours are connected.
🧰 Practical tools to calm your nervous system.
🫶 Ways to respond to anxious thoughts without fighting them.

This isn’t about “getting rid” of anxiety.
It’s about changing your relationship with it 💯

Your mind can learn new patterns at any age.

📍Online workshop.
📅 Sunday 8th March.
🕐 11am - 12:30pm.
📩 DM to book.

The amount of good in your life depends on your ability to notice it ✨️

🧠 Our minds naturally focus on what’s wrong or what still needs fixing. Because of that, the effort you make and the small moments that help you get through the day can easily be overlooked.

One way of helping to reframe your thinking, change your perspective and calm your nervous system is through practising gratitude 🫶

Gratitude isn’t about pretending things are fine when they’re not. It’s about gently widening your attention to include what’s already supporting you.

🙌The small wins.
🌱The moments of steadiness.
💙The ways you showed up, even when it was hard.

What’s one small thing you can acknowledge today?

Your progress matters ✨️Recognise it, appreciate it, and celebrate the steps you’ve taken.
