Taking time today to notice these beauties....my beautiful friend Olive Mind Yourself has inspired me to look for the glimmers today. I noticed the rain was starting to bother me so instead I chose to focus on the beauty around me and the rain helps it all to grow🥰

Wishing everyone a lovely month ahead full of moments of joy, love and kindness. I hope you take some time to Mind and be Kind to you too🤗

Mind and Be Kind. 🌿✨

After another year of pouring my heart and energy into my work, I’ve made the conscious decision to step back for summer. I believe strongly in practicing what I teach thank you Louise Shanagher Creative Mindfulness Kids Training for the gift that is you and your trainings🌻and right now, that means honoring my own need for rest.

I am intentionally dedicating this time to nourishing my own cup. It’s a time for restoration, self-compassion, and saying "yes" to the things that truly fill me up.

Today was the perfect start: time in my garden followed by a beautiful day at the beach with a dear friend and time to read my new book - Protect Your Energy. Thank you dear Olive Mind Yourself for the beautiful recommendation💝
It was a much-needed reminder that safeguarding our own energy and peace is how we sustain our ability to care for others.

My commitment for the next while is simple: care, compassion, and rest, taking little pockets of time each day to Mind and Be Kind to me as well as those around me.
I am taking this time to restore myself so that when I return, I can continue to show up with the same love and energy for the people I work with 💞

Remember, self-care is not selfish, it is essential. We all deserve to give ourselves the same love and care we so freely give to others.
Sending you all so much love and light. I hope you are finding moments to look after yourselves today too.

I would love to hear from you, what is one "glimmer" you noticed today or one way you took some time to Mind and Be Kind to you?
Let me know in the comments if you feel called to share. ✨

🌟 A bittersweet but very special final session today. 🌟

​We wrapped up our anxiety group in Primary Care today focusing on the power of gratitude and self-belief based on the wonderful teachings of Creative Mindfulness Kids Training Watching the children’s faces light up as they shared stories of the people, things and experiences they are thankful for was so lovely. 💖

​We then turned that gratitude inward. We focused on what we are grateful for about ourselves and the children created positive affirmations about themselves and decorated wooden stars to celebrate their own unique strengths. 💎✨

​To keep that inner light glowing at home, each child left with an "I am a superstar" affirmation card from my Mind and Be Kind cards and a beautiful glass star, a lasting reminder of how resilient and wonderful they are. A gentle reminder to believe in themselves and keep shining brightly. 🌟

​Saying goodbye is never easy, but I am bursting with pride. Seeing how much these kids have grown, and how completely they’ve embraced these mindful tools, is such a rewarding feeling. They are all absolute superstars✨️
Thank you also to Aoife for her lovely best friend colouring handout🥰

Wishing so much luck to all the students (including my own daughter) starting their Leaving and Junior Cert exams tomorrow. A little reminder to stop and take a breath or two😊
Remember you are doing your best and that is always enough💗
Thinking also of all the Mums and Dads who will be praying, lighting candles and would sit it for you if they could.

You are unique and special - just like a diamond. 💎

My heart is completely full after yesterday's creative mindfulness session with my Anxiety group in HSE 💖✨

Our incredible group explored what it truly means to be a good friend to ourselves. We learned a beautiful lesson: we are all like diamonds, each completely unique, strong, and valuable just because of who we are and our inherent worth. 💎

We learned that when anxiety visits us it can feel very tricky at times and doing our mindfulness practices can feel like a soothing hug to our hearts🤗

To quieten the loud voice of anxiety, we practiced using a kind inner voice, filling the room with powerful affirmations:
✨ "I am strong, I am brave. I am unstoppable."
✨ "I am important. I am lucky , I am kind, I am grateful, I am creative."

To carry this magic home, they created tangible reminders of their strength: custom wooden bookmarks, affirmation scratch cards, and a handout naming exactly why they are amazing.

We also had our beautiful diamond rhyming handout from Aoife@yourjoyfulself to colour at home this week to help with our practice.

So incredibly proud of them all. It is so lovely to see them walking a little taller and shining a little brighter 🌟

My sessions are based on Creative Mindfulness Kids Training 💝

Watching these beauties being thrown down in our garden by the heavy rain yesterday made us sad....but every cloud has a silver lining🌦
Now, we get to closely look at them inside our home and wonder at their perfection.

Creative Mindfulness in action! ✨

​Over the last two weeks, our group got busy bringing their inner worlds to life by making their own monkey minds and drawing their very own emotion characters. It was such a powerful way to visualize those "messengers" that visit our minds, bodies and hearts.

​By sharing their drawings, the children discovered something so important, we all feel the same emotions. Whether it’s joy, worry, or sadness, we aren't alone in our feelings ❤️

​However, we also learned that even if we feel the same emotions, our body sensations might feel totally different. While one person feels "worry" as a fluttery tummy, another might feel it as tight shoulders or wiggly toes.

​Teaching children to recognize their unique physical cues helps them get to know themselves better and they are learning how to help themselves navigate these sensations and emotions with kindness💝

​So proud of their creativity and their growing self-awareness!

A heart full of gratitude for the wonderful ladies who joined us yesterday for our Mindfulness & Self-Compassion retreat in Ennis. ✨
It was so moving to see everyone take time out of their busy lives to rest, be nourished, and connect to each other, to the present moment, and to themselves💗

Together, we explored the power of mindfulness using our breath, our senses, and gentle mindful movement to ground us.

Through creativity, music, and poetry, we practiced cultivating a kind inner voice learning how to treat ourselves like we would a dear friend and offering ourselves the same care, compassion and gratitude we so freely give to others. We even made time to mindfully enjoy some delicious chocolate.

We ended the afternoon with a long, restorative body scan meditation, leaving the busyness of the world behind to simply "be." Watching these ladies take the time to learn ways to help quieten their busy minds and to come home to themselves was just so lovely💝

I would also like to say a special thank you to my friend and fellow mindfulness teacher, Breda -mindfulnesswithBreda, It was such a pleasure and a joy to share this special afternoon and the wonderful teachings from with you again💞
