Finally got round to getting a haircut! 😂

Please check out my article on Time to Talk day on the CCHA website:

Today is Time to Talk day!

The day is all about taking the stigma out of mental health and creating supportive communities in which we can talk together without embarrassment or any sense of shame about the quality of our mental health. These conversations really do have the power to change lives.

I have written an article for CCHA Chat Magazine on how are you can start off one of these conversations.

Remembering Thích Nhất Hạnh who died today.
===
This body is not me,
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.

I have never been born,
and I have never died.

Look at the infinite oceans and skies filled with stars,
Manifestations from the basis of consciousness

Since beginningless time I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.

Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.
So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today,
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms, on the myriad paths of life.

~ Thích Nhất Hạnh, "No Death, No Fear"
(11 Oct 1926 – 22 Jan 2022)

Something helpful for

Great results 😁

Earlier this week I finished working with a client who had a strong case of anxiety that was really getting in the way of the things they wanted to be able to do: 20/21 on the GAD-7 measure. After 5 hour-long sessions across 7 weeks that came down to 3/21.

Contact me if you’d like us to work together.

Today I am doing my best. I have two stressful things going on which landed at the same time and I am doing my best to find out as much as I can so that I understand what it is that is best for me to do.

At times it has felt overwhelming. There are occasions where I get bubbles of stress but they are not constant because I know that I respond to the meaning I make of things as opposed to what’s going on outside of myself.

Feelings and thoughts associated with them pass in their own sweet time. I don’t need to fight against them.

I talked to someone earlier in the week and she was feeling particularly wound up by some siblings. We broke it down and she started to understand that she has a level of control and choice that she didn’t recognise initially.

Nobody outside of you can make you feel anything. That part we manage to do for ourselves and in some respects to ourselves.

We always have an element of choice, we just don’t always recognise in the moment.

Happy - what is the most recent you have taken? I took this just now and popped it into Today has been weird in that it has been an emotional rollercoaster but it feels like most of it is coming together

Midsummer is drawing near. We may be locking down again. For some of us things feel like they’re getting a bit weird. Hang in there! The tide will turn and hopefully things will feel more stable and make more sense soon.
