Self-kindness – what does that mean to you?

During #mentalhealthawarenessweek I created this video that looks at the different ways in which self-kindness can be manifested. I hope it is useful for you.

This week is #mentalhealthawarenessweek hosted by This week is #mentalhealthawarenessweek hosted by @mentalhealthfoundation The theme this year is 'Why Nature?', celebrating the mental health benefits of being around nature. To mark the week, I will be sharing the ways in which nature has benefited me, particularly the way that it can bring some calm to a busy life. I hope you feel you can join in. I would really like to hear from you if you struggle to access the countryside and have come up with creative ways to feel connected with nature.

What brings meaning to your life? For many of us What brings meaning to your life? For many of us our first thought will be of our family, but that is not the only way to have a meaningful life. Meaning can be found in our work, or our hobbies. But it can also be found in the small everyday things that we have to really slow down to notice. Sometimes I find meaning in watching the trees blow in the wind. Sometimes in just hearing the sounds of the world moving around me. Meaning doesn't have to have a lofty purpose. Meaning can be simple. Maybe your meaning can be witnessing the world. By just being you. #selfcare #selfkindness #counselling #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #counsellor #anxiety #psychotherapy #depression #wellbeing #therapist #trauma #mindfulness #selflove #stress #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mentalwellbeing #support #selfawareness #onlinetherapy #blackburn #blackburnbusiness #blackburnwithdarwen
It is springtime, and a good time for the traditio It is springtime, and a good time for the traditional spring clean. I am definitely a de-clutterer, I don't keep hold of things if I can't use them or I don't like them. I find that a cluttered house can lead to a cluttered mind. I also like the freedom of less possessions. The more possessions we have, the more of our time they take up with maintenance and cleaning. I also find that lots of possessions can lead to a feeling of guilt, that we aren't making use of them and are somehow a failure because of it - I'm thinking here about that exercise bike that maybe never gets used, but it could be any possession that is under-utilised. Are you a keeper or a de-clutterer? Do you find it hard to give things away but the clutter feels like it is taking over? Think about spring-cleaning as a form of self-care. It doesn't need to be a chore to be dreaded, and you may rediscover some items of personal significance that have been drowning under 'stuff'. Have a wonderful #WellbeingWednesday 🥰 #selfcare #selfkindness #counselling #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #counsellor #anxiety #psychotherapy #depression #wellbeing #therapist #trauma #mindfulness #selflove #stress #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mentalwellbeing #support #selfawareness #onlinetherapy #blackburn #blackburnbusiness #blackburnwithdarwen
Happy Monday! This is probably an unpopular opini Happy Monday! This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually love Mondays! I like the freshness of a new week, I've cleared the decks and there is so much possibility in the next seven days. I like that whatever happened last week, however good or bad that week felt, Monday is the start of something new and I am in control. If you check back in with me on Thursday I will probably be a little more jaded, but I'm not going to let that spoil my Monday! I hope your week has got off to a good start. #selfcare #selfkindness #counselling #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #counsellor #anxiety #psychotherapy #depression #wellbeing #therapist #trauma #mindfulness #selflove #stress #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mentalwellbeing #support #selfawareness #onlinetherapy #blackburn #blackburnbusiness #blackburnwithdarwen
I am in awe of the writing of Carolyn Spring. Her I am in awe of the writing of Carolyn Spring. Her description of what it is like to receive compassion after trauma is heart-wrenching. Has anyone else read any of Carolyn's work? I can't recommend it highly enough. #counselling #traumatherapy #selfkindness #blackburnwithdarwen #wellbeing #anxiety
