A lovely reminder that rest isn't always about sleep (though that is of course so important). Rest is about finding a safe haven in your joy, moving your body in an unhurried way, doing tasks that allow your thoughts to ease... So when you feel the need to rest ask yourself, what rest is it that I need? 🩵

Monday reminder - regulation techniques without self compassion are not going to retune your nervous system. It is like mopping the floor without addressing the water leak.

That's right, regulation techniques are life changing but when you are constantly berating yourself you are going to be consistently triggering your emergency response.

Regulation Techniques + Being on your own side = healing ✨. This is a process, you CAN work with yourself to make life simpler, more joyful, more present.

I have always loved reading, ever since I was a small child. It has been a constant source of joy, relaxation, adventure, distraction, information and escapism 📖

When we adopted Mae over 2 years ago I found myself unable to read. It seems not only did she completely take my heart but also my ability to focus on text 😕. As I adapted to becoming a mum I simply couldn't find the time or focus to read. I tried SO many different types of books. Then one day I realised, I was waiting for the 'old me' to just pop back in, pick up a book and get absorbed as I used to without any effort from me. The lack of action on my part was keeping me from doing what I so wanted to do. I needed to retrain the new version of my brain to focus if I was to become a reader again. So I started small, ten minutes here, ten minutes there. And one day I realised, I was loving reading again.

When adapting to the changes in life we experience or when we want to make changes we have to choose effort in order to retrain our brain. Consistent, small steps (with a pile of self compassion thrown in) is the way forward.

⭐ The quote below is from the book, a reminder that the parts of our personality that we are not comfortable with do not need our judgement, they need our love and care. They are our wounds not our flaws. We talk about this alot in our training ⭐

Our nervous system constantly scans to assess whether we are safe or not. In a world as fast paced as ours it often feels under threat, pushing us into our fight, flight and freeze response. We might experience this as anxiety, as racing thoughts, catastrophic thinking, headaches, digestive issues or low mood amongst many other things.

There are so many ways in which we can work with our nervous system to allow it to understand that we are safe, that there is no impending emergency. Experiencing things that feel comfortable to you is one of them. Where in your life can you find more space for comfort? 🩵

We have been back in work this week after an amazing week away. We definitely didn't need to leave the country to feel like we were having a summer holiday ☀️

We place great importance on recharging ourselves. When we are topped up our ability to give to the many people we support grows incredibly.

So as we rapidly approach the weekend here is your reminder to top yourselves up too 🩵

✨ Healing and the need for Safety ✨

Following on from yesterday's video I wanted to expand on what happens to your nervous system when you are harsh to yourselves.

Learning to give yourself patience and compassion isn't just a nice thing to do, it is essential for allowing your nervous system to feel safe. It is this safety that creates the environment for true healing to occur, be that mental or physical.

This is a process, you can learn to be on your own side, and incase you had forgotten, you deserve it 🩵

✨ Labels ✨

Be mindful of the labels you give yourself. Your subconscious is listening 👂 and this has a direct impact on both your mental and physical health. You didn't deserve those labels from the person or people who gave them to you initially and you don't deserve them from yourself 🩵

Learning to offer ourselves grace, compassion and love is a life changing skill. A skill that can be learnt. One of the greatest joys I get from this work is witnessing people become kinder to themselves. The first step is always in the noticing. So next time you are calling yourself names, notice it. Comment on it. And remind yourself that you are human, that you are trying your best, that you are enough 🩵
