It comes so naturally to me to make others feel good about themselves.

Iā€™ve always loved noticing the good in people, complimenting them, cheering them on and reminding them of just how much they bring to the world.

Because we all need to feel seen, heard, appreciated, worthy and valued.
šŸ’š
Sometimes the smallest words of encouragement can reach someone in a way we may never fully realise. A genuine compliment, someone believing in you, or simply being reminded of your worth can stay with you for much longer than you think.

So if I see something good in someone, Iā€™ll always say it. āœØ

We never really know how much someone might need to hear it.

The rains coming in, we are approaching autumnā€¦ slightly darker..
But yes itā€™s still warmā€¦ very confusing ! šŸ«¤
Anyway- my cravings of autumn šŸ‚ are kicking in and pulling me into cosy nights, cosy clothes and wanting to EAT all the best roast dinners galore and of course roast potatoes āœ”ļø

Who is with meeee? šŸ„” šŸ

Stop pouring from an empty bowl.

I often use the bowl metaphor in my practice because I know the word boundaries can feel scary.

Imagine your time, energy, space and capacity as a bowl.

If youā€™re constantly pouring into everyone else, eventually your own bowl becomes empty.

And you matter too.

Your needs matter.
Your energy matters.
Your worth matters.
You deserve looking after too. šŸ«µšŸ¼

This is something I work with clients on every day, gently helping them understand their boundaries, build confidence in themselves, and find permission to care for the parts of them that have often been overlooked.

Boundaries arenā€™t about pushing people away.

Theyā€™re about making sure thereā€™s still something left of you.

So maybe today, ask yourself:

What does my bowl need from me? šŸ„£

Sometimes I hear others say, ā€œIā€™m having a lazy day.ā€

But what if itā€™s not lazy at all?

Iā€™ve started calling them cosy days or home days instead.

Whether you choose to do very little or your day is full of life behind the scenes at home, neither is lazy. Rest is productive. Home is productive. Simply being is enough.

When we stop attaching guilt to slowing down, we create space to refill our own bowls, physically, mentally and emotionally. And thatā€™s not something to earnā€¦ itā€™s something we need.

Rest isnā€™t laziness. Itā€™s part of being human. šŸ¤

We live in a world that praises constant doing.

Many of us struggle to stop because of guilt, shame, people-pleasing, feeling like we have to earn rest, or simply not wanting to be alone with our thoughts.

This is something I explore with so many of my clients. Learning to pause isnā€™t giving up, itā€™s listening to your body before it has to shout.

Iā€™m learning this too. I donā€™t always find it easy to rest, but Iā€™m reminding myself that I donā€™t need permission from anyone else.

As a parent, I also want my child to know that rest is normal. Whether unwell, experiencing burnout, overwhelmed, or simply needs a break, I want her to grow up knowing her worth isnā€™t measured by how much she does.

Rest isnā€™t a reward. Itā€™s a necessity. šŸ¤

āœØ Boundaries arenā€™t about controlling others. Theyā€™re about caring for ourselves and creating relationships where everyone can feel safe and respected.

This is something I believe in not only as a therapist, but as a parent, a friend, and simply as a human being.

So many of us grow up believing that saying ā€œnoā€ is selfish, that we should keep everyone happy, or that our own needs should come last. Over time, that can leave us disconnected from ourselves and unsure of where we begin and other people end.

When it comes to children, boundaries often get misunderstood. They donā€™t have to take away autonomy or silence a childā€™s voice. Healthy, consistent boundaries can actually provide the safety and stability children need to explore the world with confidence. They help children learn what respect, trust and emotional safety feel like, making it easier to develop healthy boundaries of their own as they grow.

As adults, especially if we have people-pleasing tendencies, boundaries can feel uncomfortable. We might worry weā€™re being difficult, unkind or letting someone down. But protecting your time, energy and wellbeing isnā€™t cruel, it allows you to show up more authentically for yourself and for the people you care about.

Iā€™d love to know what you think.

šŸ’š Do boundaries come naturally to you, or have they been something youā€™ve had to learn?

Panic can feel like it comes out of nowhere.

The other day, I noticed the start of a panic response in my own body. Instead of trying to push it away, I focused completely on one simple taskā€¦ spreading a crumpet.

It might sound silly, but I described every movement in my head and brought my attention back to exactly what I was doing in that moment. It helped ground me and stopped the panic from taking over.

Grounding doesnā€™t have to be complicated. Sometimes itā€™s simply noticing what youā€™re doing, what you can feel, see or smell, and bringing yourself back to the present.

Everyoneā€™s anxiety is different, so take time to notice your own triggers and early warning signs too. The more you understand your nervous system, the easier it becomes to respond with compassion rather than fear.

Have you ever tried grounding like this? šŸ

Colour isnā€™t just something we wear! it can be something we feel. šŸŒˆ
This is me, dopamine dressing today and it works!
Thereā€™s something beautifully uplifting about putting on clothes that make you feel a little brighter. Whether itā€™s pink, green, yellow, or every colour in between, ā€œdopamine dressingā€ is about choosing what brings you joy rather than what you think you should wear.

As a therapist, I often talk about the little things that support our wellbeing. While colourful clothing isnā€™t a cure for difficult days, it can be a gentle act of self-care and self-expression. Sometimes the smallest choices are a way of reminding ourselves that we deserve moments of lightness too.

What colour instantly lifts your mood? šŸ’›šŸ’ššŸ©·

Something Iā€™ve been reflecting on recently is how many of us are good at looking after everyone else, but not always ourselves. šŸ’«

Iā€™m not talking about the basics (although theyā€™re important too). Iā€™m talking about taking breaks when we need them, checking in with ourselves, listening to our minds and bodies, and recognising when enough is enough.

Self-care isnā€™t always bubble baths and face masks. Sometimes itā€™s rest, boundaries, slowing down, or giving ourselves permission to pause.

Iā€™m curiousā€¦ who genuinely makes looking after themselves a priority?

What does that look like for you? šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Being unwell isnā€™t just being unwell sometimes.
Thereā€™s so many layers to it. ā¤ļø

For me itā€™s the physical symptomsā€¦ then the anxiety kicks in. The overthinking. The health anxiety. Wondering if something is seriously wrong. Hyper focusing on every feeling in my body.

Then comes the guilt.
Feeling like Iā€™m letting people down.
Feeling like Iā€™m disappointing others.
Like Iā€™m not good enough because I canā€™t push through like I normally would.

Then another layerā€¦ the feeling of failing at every ā€œhatā€ I wear.
The best therapist.
The best mumma.
The best partner.

Like resting somehow means Iā€™m doing those things wrong.

And I think a lot of that comes from old experiences too. Workplaces where being unwell felt inconvenient. Being made to feel bad for needing time off. Feeling watched, judged or marked down for being human. That stuff stays with you.

I know Iā€™m lucky to work for myself now and not have someone looming over meā€¦ but honestly? Itā€™s still hard giving myself permission to stop and listen to my body and mind. šŸŒŸ šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Because somewhere along the line a lot of us learned that resting means lazy, weak or failing.
When actuallyā€¦ we shouldnā€™t have to hit burnout, breakdown or physical illness before rest feels ā€œvalid enoughā€.

So this is your reminder as much as mine ! šŸ™ŒšŸ¼
you are allowed to stop.
Comment below if you ever feel this way too.
Allowed to rest.
Allowed to be human.
