Some words stay with you.

I wrote this down on a scrap of paper the first time I read it and now, I can’t say with certainty whether I’ve attributed it correctly. If you know who wrote this, please tell me.

What I do know is that these words feel unbearable to read right now. Children in so many places of the world fleeing, losing, surviving things no child should ever have to carry.

As a clinical psychologist, as a child refugee and as a human being, I don’t have tidy words for what’s happening in the world.

But I still believe in saying it out loud. In not looking away.
Dear world, we can do better than this.

Day 7 of 30 🌿 Rewiring my brain with a joy walk.
One week in. Can you believe it?

Here is what we covered this week:
We learnt why so many of us are feeling heavy right now and why even the good moments can feel hard to hold onto.
We learnt about attentional bias, the brain’s built in tendency to prioritise negative information. And what consistent exposure to distressing content can do to a brain already wired to scan for threat.
We looked at what my PhD research found in people who survived war and what that might help us understand about what so many of us are feeling right now.
We learned about Attentional Bias Modification and why a joy walk is not a wellness trend but a practice grounded in research.
And we walked in the rain. Found yellow things. Brought a friend. Celebrated a birthday.
Through all of it the same message:
Your brain is not broken. It is doing exactly what it was built to do. And research tells us that with gentle, consistent practice where we direct our attention can begin to shift.
Now I don’t want you to just watch.
I want you to try this.
Go outside. Find one thing that is still beautiful. It does not have to be profound or Instagram worthy. A w**d pushing through concrete. The sky at 4pm. Kids laughing nearby.
Just one thing.
Then come back and tell me what you found. 👇

Use so we can find each other. Because when we do this together it becomes something more than a walk.
Day 7. One week in. Come outside with me. 🌿
Are you in? Drop a 🌿 and tell me where are you going on your first joy walk?

Day 6 is slightly delayed because sometimes being present with the people you love IS the whole point. 🎂

On Saturday was my nephew’s birthday and that was its own kind of joy walk.

Today we talk about what is actually happening in your brain when you do this consistently. Research tells us that repeatedly directing your attention toward what is still good, over time, it can begin to shift the patterns your brain defaults to.

Think of it like a path through a field. The unhelpful path is well worn. Your brain runs down it automatically.
The joy walk is you slowly, gently, building a new one.

The goal is not to erase the hard; rather it is to give your brain another way through.

Day 6. Still looking. 🌿

Day 5 of 30

🌿 Rewiring my brain with a joy walk.

Today I brought a friend, or better yet she met me at the soccer ground

She is one of my favourite friends and we met through our babies (that are not babies anymore 🤣)

There is something that happens when you go looking for beauty with another person. You start pointing things out to each other. You notice things they would have missed. They notice things you walked straight past. Suddenly you are both looking, really looking and the world gets a little bigger.

Research tells us that social connection plays a meaningful role in how we process difficult emotions. Of course, Stacy could fixe anything. It’s not her job… and, human beings are not designed to carry everything alone.

When we feel safe with someone, genuinely safe, it can become a little easier to be present. A little easier to slow down and a little easier to notice something other than what is weighing on us.

And right now a lot of us are carrying a lot.
Grief about what is happening in the world. Worry about people we love. The heaviness of watching suffering on a loop. And sometimes that weight makes us want to withdraw, stay inside and not burden anyone else with how we are feeling.

That is completely understandable. And, what I have noticed in the research, in my work, and in my own life, is that when we share a simple, gentle experience with someone we feel safe with, something shifts. Of course, not dramatically, or permanently but often enough to feel a little less alone with it all.

A joy walk alone is a powerful practice. Yet, a joy walk with someone you feel safe with adds something. Two people looking for beauty in the same world that is also breaking their hearts. That is not a small thing.

So today’s invitation is simple.
Text someone… not only to talk about everything that is heavy. Just to say hi & come outside with me.
Day 5. Better with a friend. 🌿
