WELLBEING WEATHER WEDS!!

This is now the fifth heatwave many of us have experienced this year, and I don't know about you, but think a lot of us are now starting to notice something beyond the temperature....

We’re not just feeling hot. We're feeling tired, irritable, flat, overwhelmed, restless, emotional, and a little less resilient than usual.

Prolonged heat can feel like a constant background pressure, particularly when we are just not accustomed to dealing with it and we are under pressure to carry on with our usual routine.

Sleep is often disrupted, routines may have to change, patience becomes thinner, and even small tasks can suddenly feel like hard work. It’s as though our emotional batteries are draining.. and this also rubs off on our furry friends.

You have no doubt noticed your dog wanting more quiet time, your cat seeking cooler hidden spaces, or your pet seeming clingier, grumpier, more unsettled, or less interested in play. They pick up on the atmosphere around them as much as the weather itself.

So todays wellbeing Weds message is this:

🌿 Slower is not failure.

🌿 Rest is productive and needed right now

🌿 Calmness and coolness is the key

🌿 Yours and your pets nervous system both deserve kindness and balance

As we reach more record temperatures today, this is not a day for pushing through.

Maybe today is about slowing down if you can, accepting we are in the middle of something quite unprecedented, out of our control, and we need to do what we can to cope!

Give yourself permission to do only what truly needs doing today if you can...

Plus enjoy the other weather phenomenon later with the solar eclipse! Remember dont look directly at it however tempting it may be...mother nature is spoiling us at the moment, make sure to stop and take it all in!

Id be interested to hear your top tips for coping with the heat! Drop them in the chat below!

I'm blown away by this feedback today, literally a ball of mush lol. Been helping out with puppy and junior classes for a while with Derbyshire Dog Services and I have learnt so much more about dog behaviours and training; discipline, consistency of approach, all of which helps me to run much more informed and calm healing sessions. Plus I literally get to smile constantly for 2 hours being surrounded by four legged friends during the sessions!!! I highly recommend Amanda Coupland she is the hardest working woman I know, so she was definitely overdue some 'me' time... 🐕

For those of you, who like me may be a little sceptical around Energy Healing and Reiki, please keep an open mind. Those who know me know I’m ADHD, run at 100 mph, I’m always doing 6 things at once, and rarely sit down to relax, let alone switch my brain off and think of nothing!

However… the lovely Lynn who some of you will have met, as she has been helping me with dog training sessions. Finally convinced me to try Reiki, and… lo and behold not only did I enjoy it, but I relaxed so much I dozed off at one point.

I can’t praise Lynn enough the whole session was calm, relaxing, informative and I came away feeling a pressure release.

Lynn also practices energy healing on your furry friends, so I’m hoping she will try on my girl Miska (though that may be more challenging than me!) 🤣

So if you want to try for yourself or with your dog, I can highly recommend this. It’s time to slow down, have some self care and treat yourself! 💜🐾

MONDAY (evening)MOOD LIFTER

Did you know your dogs nose print is unique?

Yep, just like a human fingerprint the pattern of ridges and creases on your dogs nose is unique to them!

And not only that, Dogs have a “second nose” inside their nose.
The vomeronasal organ (Jacobson's organ) helps detect certain chemical signals that ordinary smelling doesn't fully explain. Which means your dog is basically walking around with advanced sniffing hardware.

Technically their noses are so sensitive that scents we barely notice can be incredibly obvious to them, including identifying what sort of a day you've had... Research suggests they can detect changes in our scent associated with emotional stress.
So that moment when your dog suddenly comes over, sits beside you, puts their head on your lap or just… stays close? They might be responding to more than just your behaviour.

They may actually be picking up on how you're feeling..

Sometimes they don't need us to explain what's wrong.

They just know.... which is probably why they're known as mans best friend!

So 'Boop' that (unique) nose and give them a cuddle to say thank you!

FRIDAY FEEL GOOD!

Hoping you've all had a good week.

Today's Friday feel good comes from my heart to yours ... and back again!

After a lovely morning with clients of both the 2 and 4 legged variety, some who had never experienced healing before, hearing owners say things like;

"I've never seen them look that calm"

Or

"I feel so relaxed after that"

Or "I definitely feel lighter"

just makes my heart full of gratitude 🙏

And visiting clients that have become friends to the point that I am now called ( dog) Auntie Lynn, just fills my cup to overflowing!

So my Friday is feeling better than good, which is great as I've had some unexpected bouts of "what am I actually doing?" Lately. I know they're normal but they can stop me in my tracks 👣

So today reminded me exactly why I started this journey in the first place...

Whats your Friday feel good factor?

And just for fun here's Phil the Prairie dogs cousin ( lets call them Paul) having a nibble in the sunshiiiine!

WELLBEING on WEDNESDAY!

After the huge success of Mr penguin on Monday mood lifter, todays wellbeing weds post is brought to you by a very chilled Prairie Dog... (Im calling him Pete.. )

He's here chilling in the sun having a little nibble. Taking the day in his stride.

We can actually learn so much from our animals when it comes to wellbeing. Take our dogs for instance they

live life in the moment
rest when they're tired
Embrace the outdoors, fresh air and nature
Enjoy simple moments without guilt

We spend so much time trying to do more, when often our wellbeing improves when we simply sloooow down.

Today, take a leaf out of our lovely Pete’s book and give yourself permission to have one small moment of calm, a cup of tea in the garden, a few deep breaths, a gentle walk, or a cuddle with your pet.

What do your animals teach you about wellbeing? 🐶🐱🐰🐴

MONDAY MOOD LIFTER

After a fantastic weekend in the fresh air and sunshine, how ready do you feel to jump back into your Monday responsibilities?

Are you dancing around them like this penguin I met at Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens this weekend?

He had a few cheerleaders from the sidelines as you can hear, but he did it in his own time.. eventually!

Whatever you are diving into today, if you can, do it at your own pace, be more penguin today and take one waddle at a time!

Well can we all agree that July (officially the hottest ever on record) literally flew by?

End of the month is a great time to take stock reflect and note those achievements, however small you have done over the month! Also to begin to look forwards and plan the rest of your year...

Some of mine are:

Visiting a new country, Croatia

Running my first dog and owner joint healing sessions with 5 star feedback

Celebrating 1 year of Inner Harmony! That almost passed me by!

Delivering a scary pitch to a potential new HR client

Finally starting the garden glow up I've been planning for months

Welcoming our first paid employee to

What are your Friday / July wins and how do you mark them? I'd love you to share!

Fab day of reiki sessions, one with a new client who gave me these beauties!

I'd like to hope my sessions go beyond the healing, with insightful and thought provoking conversations around all sorts of topics, reflection, growth, life, loss, past life, grief, passion, emotions and hope.

Its such a joy to leave clients feeling lighter than when I arrived..I feel the benefits too!

WELLBEING WEDNESDAY!

Going out a bit later than planned as we had a big pitch to do this morning!

What does wellbeing actually meant to you?

Wellbeing isn’t just the absence of illness, it can be just little small signs you are not 'feeling yourself' and its a very personal thing...

I can tell when I am a bit off kilter when my sleep is out, either I have too much or a broken nights sleep.

This week it has definitely fluctuated, and that shows in how I show up.

I received some reiki myself on Monday and slept like a baby...flick forwards a day or two and a big meeting this morning meant last nights sleep was questionable and I am flagging now... zzzzz

Overall though I know that's temporary and clearly I need to have more reiki myself!

On a scale of 1-10, how well are you feeling today? Its worth a little check in to make sure you are not consistently feeling below par and take time to refill your energy levels...

And if you are having problems sleeping, or just feeling a little off, I can definitely vouch for the benefits reiki can bring, after being on the receiving end this week....

For now, pitch over, and I think I will definitely sleep well tonight...
