HAPPY HEADS RETREAT

“I have just finished the Happy Heads Autumn Retreat and really cannot recommend it highly enough. As someone with a chronic neurological condition I have suffered with worry, self-doubt and anxiety most of my adult life. Kim delivers the sessions in a very calm and gentle manner and she has such a reassuring way about her which really helped me to believe I could achieve what I wanted to. The retreat left me feeling truly empowered. If you want to make a change in your life then I urge you to try it for yourself. “

HOW WE CAN HELP OUR KIDS POST PANDEMIC

I wrote an article for the brillaint Parentfolk about how we can support children and teens mental health and wellbeing post pandemic. You can check out the full article HERE on page 48-49.

BEAT BURNOUT

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. Add a global pandemic to people feeling like they have to be working 24/7 it’s no surprise that so many people are struggling right now.

Watch this video to see a simple breathing and tapping technique to engage your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relaxation) the opposite of fight and flight, which is what we go into when we're stresses and anxious.

REDUCE ANXIETY QUICKLY

78% of you are feeling anxious about life after lockdown and it’s not surprising after the challenging year we’ve all had. One common and very frustrating anxiety trigger is a fear of the unknown, which right now so many people are experiencing.
.
When you’re feeling anxious it’s because your body has started to go into fight and flight mode with your amygdala (brains fear response) hijacking your brain. Watch this video to see a simple way to bring your nervous system back into balance AND directly target the worries you have about the easing of restrictions.

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR CORONAVIRUS ANXIETY

We're living in some scary times right now and not knowing what the future holds is understandably creating anxiety for a lot of people. While we can’t control everything that is yet to come, you can control your mind and reduce anxiety any time you feel the fear beginning to kick in.

STOP WORRYING

worry.jpg

If everything seemed to be going great in my life I genuinely used to worry that, if I didn’t worry - something bad would happen. Put your hands up if you do that! This is 100% an anxious thought and not something that your brain needs to think.
.
I’ve now worked on this particular negative thought, so I’m able to quickly reframe my thoughts if ever it starts to creep into my mind. For me personally I know it comes from losing my dad at the age of 7. Before that I never worried about bad things happening and then something bad did happen - so this is why I used to have this anxious thought.
.
A great way to reduce the intensity of your negative thoughts is to identify where it may have come from. Become a memory detective and see if you can make any links - gently reflecting back. Don’t worry too much if you can’t make any links, you can still reframe your thoughts.
.
Always remember that there's no need to worry if things are going smoothly in life - you deserve to be happy. Life can always throw you curve balls but it has no correlation to whether you worry about it or not so stop the worry and trust the process.

THE NEGATIVITY BIAS

Screenshot 2019-07-24 at 13.01.59.png

Have you ever found yourself ruminating on over a past comment or mistake? We tend to dwell over negative memories far longer than positive ones. The reason being - negative events have a greater impact on our brains than positive ones. This is often referred to as our ’negative bias’ - exhausting right!

“Our tendency to pay more attention to bad things and overlook good things is likely a result of evolution. Earlier in human history, paying attention to bad, dangerous, and negative threats in the world was literally a matter of life and death. Those who were more attuned to danger and who paid more attention to the bad things around them were more likely to survive. The evolutionary perspective suggests that this tendency to dwell on the negative more than the positive is simply one way the brain tries to keep us safe” - Kendra Cherry ‘Very Well Mind’

The next time you find yourself ruminating over the past - take a minute to STOP, PAUSE & BREATH. Remember that this is an evolutionary brain process that you no longer need to succumb to there is no perceived danger. Ruminating over the past is a guaranteed way to create anxiety so focus on the present moment to strengthen your neurological pathways and reduce your worries. The body and breath are amazing tools to help anchor you in the moment - use them as often as you can.

“The pace of the day, the beauty of the setting, the gorgeous, nourishing food, the helpful and eye opening exercises, the well pitched yoga session, the grounding meditation(s) and the overall atmosphere-pure magic! I came away feeling so replenished and open.I floated out into manic city life again with a sense of calm, robust self that is still serving me well.The amount of times I have mentioned the workshop and it’s warmly welcome lingering effects is a testament to you two and all the hours of planning, hard work and zeal that must have gone into the day.”

“Again, thank you, from my soul to yours, for yesterday. There was a calming cloud of energy over the space and though everyone was on their personal journey, I felt very much embraced by every warming soul there. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to experience something as empowering as that.”

“Thank you for yesterday. You guys are amazing! I still can’t believe how physically rewarding and emotionally connecting the day was.
Thank you x”

“Thank you again for all your endless energy and wisdom yesterday...you truly create a piece of magic! You should be soooo bloody proud that you have the ability to bring a group of strangers together and have EVERYONE float away smiling and hugging!”

January has never looked more beautiful!!
