We can have a very entrenched self-belief that we are not good enough. Often we are used to fulfilling a certain role in family and friend dynamics...usually a negative role at that. Look after yourself and break free from your imprisoned mind 🤗

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.

There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.

There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not a mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.

~Washington Irving 🩵

Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death.
The landscape changes, the people change,
our needs change, but the train keeps moving.
Life is the train, not the station.

There is no worse influence than the thoughts in our own mind. Holding on to the past and focusing on regret only keeps us stuck in those moments, often making us feel down and worthless. Remember , your level of awareness back then is very different than it is now.
Be kind to yourself 🤗

This is so true, often clients will want a quick fix, but unfortunately and sometimes annoyingly for the person there is no time frame for this. Looking at lifting the lid on Pandora's box that contains everything that eventually leads to a person's trauma, needs to be done slowly and at the right time.

In modern society, we often stay 'in our heads' when our body is telling us that something needs addressing, I think we all need to listen to our body's more 🙏

The 'shoulds' are reinforcements of a script and belief system of not being worthy or good enough. Turn the volume down on these thoughts, reframe to 'I wish I could have...'. You are enough, it is not your fault.

It’s important that what thoughts you are feeding into your mind because your thoughts create your belief and experiences. You have positive thoughts and you have negative ones too. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts: kindness, empathy, compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, generosity, etc. The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life. ~Roy T. Bennett
