TRIGGERS … perceiving is not receiving … we have our own interpretation based on experience
There’s something about the bat, between two worlds of the mammal and bird, spending most of its time ‘upside down’ from our perspective ... and navigation by super-tuned senses. The bat is a great icon for a change in perspective.
When you’re getting familiar with self-awareness uncomfortable triggers can make it difficult for some to stay present … you have a choice though, you can recognise and refocus … notice that it’s thinking that’s led to feeling ‘not ok’.
* You can rise above it … you can look at things differently by thinking something different … that is your free-will.
* You can get curious and explore … how you perceive the world is a route to becoming aware of your beliefs.
* You can just be ‘ok’ with not feeling ‘ok’..
There’s no better time to experience being part of the GuidePost community, where you can expand your awareness and consciousness, and upgrade your life and wellbeing.
July intake opens up soon, so get on the wait list and get awesome group coaching and mentoring available at a budget to suit everyone … 💚❤️

Nice meme ... the 'aspect' of anger behind all action/inaction

With very small movement in the easing of the lock-down regulations in Wales, I imagine it was challenging deciding how to keep people informed. Along with Mind Cymru I was fortunate to have a conversation about transition, change and boundaries with Jon Powell at the South Wales Argus 🏴 ... take a look 💚
Mental health post-lockdown: Is there trouble ahead?
The impact of the coronavirus lockdown - and the potential impeding end of lockdown restrictions - on mental health is an important, and complex…

I've been away for a few weeks getting the GuidePost intake onboard and started ... and it's already getting hot inside 🔥🔥🔥 not the members, because they're all cool cats ...
We're talking ANGER ... and it's the elephant in the room ... but often not in the way that we think ... but in the way we think too ~ and it's no wonder that people are confused.
Traditionally, in the UK especially, we've had an unhealthy relationship with anger ... our reputation for the 'stiff upper lip' is born out of passive aggression ... and therein lies one of the issues.
We don't have a problem with ANGER ... we have a problem with AGGRESSION ... and while we think passive aggressiveness is 'passive' we're going to have a lot of angry people ... because there's a part of us that knows ... that it's not ok. Unless it is truly from a place of engagement and not intended to hurt or harm (either consciously or unconsciously) ... is it time to reflect and review our relationship with it?
Just one of the reasons we bring this mean feast to the table right up front at 'the GuidePost' ... we're turning up the heat this month ...
* How is your relationship with anger ?
* Do you allow the feeling ?
* Are you an imploder or exploder ?

Trauma is more than the shock trauma (PTSD) we hear about so often ... it's a personal experience ... what becomes addictions for some may become perfectionism, extreme hoarding, other compulsions for others.
Although it's more prevalent than we've been led to believe, it doesn't have to be a life sentence.

I wrote this post some weeks ago, and it never seemed like the right time to post it ... this crisis is a very personal experience, my clients and followers were experiencing all different aspects of the situation. Then out of the blue the South Wales Argus contacted me.... this is a summary of what I shared with Jon ...
COVID-19 … why am I feeling so disorganised?
Initially during the COVID-19 crisis people experienced feelings of separation, the foundations you have come to rely on fall away … ‘where is my life?’ Life as usual, business as usual is no more, a time of shock and denial for many.
With the initial shock over, we crossed a threshold into the unknown, a transitional phase, the start of which was marked by a sense of grief and loss. A time of uncertainty between what was, what is no longer and what is yet to be. Eventually, life will be reconfigured and reintegrated … but at the moment, we don’t know when or what that might look like. The process of an extended crisis is very similar to a rite of passage, a transformational or transitional change of one state of being to another such that things won’t be quite the same again.
If during this period we resist our feelings and suppress grief, such that it gets stuck in the body, we can end up with chronic stress, anxiety, sleep problems and or fatigue, increased aches and pains, digestive issues and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
During this crisis we have also experienced forced separation, from people, work, ‘normal’ life, and the uncertainty that brings. It will have made people acutely aware of the importance of human connection and community, the extended lockdown contributing to ongoing stress and separation anxiety. For some, this sense of loss may also have triggered old wounds and stirred unresolved emotions, with our own grief being compounded by hearing of others’ heart-breaking stories. This can contribute to nightmares and night terrors as our mind processes these emotions and extreme anxiety.
Sleep is a very personal thing, and lots of things can interfere with it. Our natural sleep pattern may be different from the one we have been programmed with in early life, so when something transformational or traumatic happens our programs may also get disrupted.
It’s worth remembering that we are feeling beings and it’s ok to grieve our losses. Many of the anxious feelings we have as adults are from times when our power was denied as a child, so it’s understandable that some people will feel helpless during this time when there is much still out of our direct control. However there is much that we can do, we can self-soothe, we have control over our reactions to what is happening by shifting our thinking, we have choice ~ that is our human free will.
We are able to create structure around our daily care, move your body when you can, follow a recipe to give structure to your eating. Some people are starting to get organised around a new way of life, making their own life more predictable again, finding creative ways to connect with others ... this agency over our inner world gives us trust in our self and can help to relieve stress and anxiety.
In time, the lived experience will bring opportunity for a different strength and resilience, and belief in our ability to recover from adversity ... supported by help from a professional or other trusted person if necessary.
Struggling with sleep in lockdown? You're not alone
Have you struggled with your sleeping pattern during the Covid-19 lockdown? Can't sleep or sleeping too much? Whatever the problem with your sleep,…

When we are unconscious to our own pain we can fall into the trap of making things painful for others through projection ... thinking that 'the other' is the problem.

Trauma results from experiences we felt powerless to handle at the time ... and resulting emotions we weren't able to process and resolve.
Stress and early life trauma are key influences in our attachment style until healed. They are also a major contributor to chronic illness, especially pain and inflammation.
This month I'll be launching a membership community where you can learn about wellbeing and how to apply it in your life for health and personal development.
Contact me via messenger or mobile 07860 206672 for more details, and stay tuned to this page for further updates over the coming days 💚

BELTANE ... the Pagan festival of fertility, takes place on 1st May each year and is also known as May Day.
Customs and traditions have filtered down and changed over time ... and some revived as we reconnect with our divine nature and the natural world.
High spring, the start of summer ... I wonder ...
💚 How will you choose to celebrate connection?
💚 How do you acknowledge the old ... and are you able to graciously give it up?
💚 What projects do you have in mind for your self ... and in collaboration with others?

Intimacy is more than physical, it’s depth, self-acceptance, self-validation.
When you’re able to show up fully for yourself all your relationships change ~ friends, family, partners, work, business.
I help people uncover and fully accept all of their self, so they can live life on purpose ... there’s no finding needed 💕
