YNOT?

Why not follow your heart?
Why not tell people how you really feel?
Why not do that thing you’ve always wanted to do?
Why not leave your job if it makes you miserable?
Why not take more risks?
Why not do what makes you happy?
Why not listen to your gut?
Why not leave your comfort zone?
Why not leave the past behind?
Why not stop living so many years ahead of yourself?
Why not take pleasure in the small things in life?
Why not let go of what you can’t change and control and focus on what you can?
Why not let go of self judgements?
Why not trust in yourself?
Why not be more patient with yourself?
Why not let go of what other people think?
Why not put your mental health first?
Why not make time for yourself?
Why not love yourself fully?
Why not just be the amazing and incredible you! ❤️

The cold… Remember you don’t need an ice bath

The cold…

Remember you don’t need an ice bath to practice cold water therapy (as great as that might be!) you can just practice by taking cold showers or baths at home. I started out with the Wimhof app, which takes you through a cold water challenge, gradually exposing yourself to longer periods of cold, until you comfortably reach 2 minutes. @thehumanprogramme @owenbjackson thank you 🙏 for my first ice bath experience!

Climbing…

I’m very much new to climbing but I took myself to my local bouldering centre earlier this week and instantly fell in love with it! For me, it gave me just the right level of adrenaline/stepping out of my comfort zone, with the fear of falling off and level of concentration required. It gave my mind a complete rest from thinking about work and my turbulent love life!

I felt happy and calm afterwards and literally can’t stop thinking (the irony 😂) about it! Can’t wait to go back soon.

I’d love to hear about any activities you do that help to give your mind a break and bring you into the present moment? Let me in the comments below👇

Happy Monday folks!

I am heading into this week feeling thankful for…..

1. My incredible friends who are consistently there for me.
2. The new connections I’ve recently made through @thehumanprogramme
3. A really helpful new connection I’ve been introduced to on LinkedIn who is helping me with a work task.

Practicing daily gratitude is one of the mental health tips I’ve really enjoyed getting into over the past couple of years.

However practicing gratitude isn’t something that comes naturally to us. Our brains have a natural negativity bias. Which means we’re almost hardwired to automatically see or focus on the negative and might easily brush over or dismiss the positives.

This is why the deliberate and conscious act of practicing gratitude is important.

Gratitude practice helps to release dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions.

They enhance our mood and help to make us feel good from the inside out.

So why not start this week off well and share 3 things you’re feeling grateful for today in the comments below 🙏👇 #spreadsomejoy

Dating in your 30’s is such a rollercoaster and

Dating in your 30’s is such a rollercoaster and I’m noticing how mindful I need to be in order to try and stay sane!

Recently I’ve had my fair share of bad luck and set backs when it comes to dating and I’m not going to lie, it’s felt very hard to accept. Resulting in admittedly sometimes chasing after something that I know isn’t right or who doesn’t feel the same. Which only leaves me feeling worse.

Today I’m trying to spend a bit of time sitting with this discomfort, noticing what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. And then setting new intentions for the week ahead. Intentions that will help me feel stronger and happier.

Which for me over this next week or so means taking a break from the dating apps. Accepting that this is something I need.

A time to reset and focus on me. To spend my time trying new activities and doing the things I love and that I know make me feel good (like Park Run!) 🏃‍♀️

Whether you’re single or in a relationship what is something that you do just for you? Something that you either love or that you consciously make time to do as you know it’s good for your mental health and well-being? Let me know in the comments below👇
