Transitioning to university is like stepping onto a new path—one that may take a little while to navigate.

Check out my blog post which provides some tips for mental wellbeing along the way.

Please do share this with anyone it may benefit. 💕

Navigating the Start of University: Essential Tips for Your Mental Wellbeing Starting university is a monumental life event, full of promise and potential. It’s an exciting time brimming with new experiences and opportunities for growth. Yet, this transition can also bring its fair share of uncertainties and stress. As you embark on this new chapter, it’s crucial to prio...

🌸 "The moment you let go of what’s holding you back is the moment you start to fly." 🦋

We often cling to things that prevent us from living life to the fullest—whether it’s anxiety, lack of confidence, or a phobia.

These inner struggles can create invisible barriers, keeping us from reaching our true potential.

Like the butterfly embracing its wings or the bee finding its way to the sweetest bloom, we too can rise above any limitations and find our true potential

What is holding you back?

✨Today could be the day you release it and soar. ✨

I’m here to help.

Reach out for support at www.asensetherapy.co.uk and let’s start the journey together.

This day 24/7/24 is a day to recognise the importance of taking time for ourselves, nurturing our mental and emotional well-being, and giving ourselves the love and care we truly deserve 24/7!💖

As a clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, I’ve seen first hand how vital self-care is for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. It’s not just about pampering yourself (though that’s lovely too!) but also about creating habits that support your overall health and happiness.

Here are a few simple self-care tips to incorporate into your daily routine:

Mindful Breathing: Take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath. It’s amazing how a little bit of mindfulness can reset your mind and body.

Positive Affirmations: Start your day with positive thoughts and affirmations. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements.

Physical activity: Whether it’s a gentle walk or a yoga session, moving your body can do wonders for your mood and energy levels.

Connect with Loved Ones: Spend quality time with family and friends. A supportive network can make a big difference in how we feel.

Professional Support: If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Sometimes, a bit of guidance is all we need to get back on track.

At Asense Therapy, I’m here to support you through times of stress, anxiety or depression, as well as provide coping strategies which can last a lifetime.

Contact asensetherapy.co.uk for more information.

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. 🌟 Make a commitment today to prioritise your well-being, not just on Self-Care Awareness Day, but every day. You deserve it!

Whether it's a neighbour lending a helping hand, a teacher inspiring young minds, a carer providing comfort, or a volunteer making our community a better place. 💖

Gratitude helps reduce stress, enhance empathy, and even improve sleep. It's a powerful tool that can foster a more positive outlook on life.

So, let's take a moment to thank those in our lives who support and uplift us. A little gratitude can go a long way in spreading happiness and positivity.

the benefits of gratitude to mental health, wellbeing and relationships Saying ‘thank you’ may seem like such a small, simple act, but it can lead to profound positive changes to our lives.

Let's talk about the power of curiosity! 🕵️‍♀️

Have you ever noticed how children approach the world with wide-eyed wonder and endless questions? As adults, we sometimes lose that sense of curiosity within our daily routines and responsibilities. But what if we could reignite that spark?

Curiosity can be a powerful tool for personal growth and mental well-being. When we're curious, we open ourselves up to new experiences, ideas, and perspectives. It keeps our minds sharp, reduces stress, and can even make us happier! 🌈

So, I have a fun challenge for you this weekend:

Try something new that stimulates your curiosity. It could be anything—a new hobby, exploring a different type of books or music, cooking a dish from a different culture, or simply asking "why" more.

Feel free to share your curious adventures in the comments—I can't wait to see what you discover!

Stay curious, stay inspired!

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week, and it's the perfect time to pause and reflect. ✨

Take a moment to think about your intentions. What are the goals you set for yourself this week? How are you feeling about your progress so far? It's ok if things haven't gone perfectly - what matters is that you're making the effort. 🌟

Reflection isn't just about looking back; it's about understanding where you are now and where you want to go. It's about being kind to yourself and recognising the small wins along the way.

"Self-reflection is a moment to listen to your heart and realign with your purpose." 🌸

Find a quiet moment to reflect. Maybe jot down a few thoughts in a journal, or simply sit quietly with your thoughts. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and gently plan your steps forward.

Remember, every step counts, and you are doing amazing. If you need support, I'm here for you. Together, we can turn reflections into actions.

Life has its ups and downs, and sometimes challenges can feel overwhelming. Whether it's personal struggles, professional setbacks, or unexpected changes, difficult times are part of life.

❗️Remember, it’s not the tough times that define us, but how we navigate through them.

Acknowledge Your Feelings - It's okay to not be okay. Suppressing emotions can lead to more stress. Take a moment to sit with your feelings—journaling can help you express and understand them better.

🎯Focus on What You Can Control - In challenging situations, focus on what you can control rather than what you can't. Set small, achievable goals for yourself each day and celebrate those little victories to help you feel more empowered.

Lean on Your Support Network - Connection is vital. Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues. Talking about what you’re going through can provide relief and a new perspective. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.

Practice Self-Care - Self-care is essential. Take care of your physical health by eating well, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

🧠Embrace Positive Thinking - Acknowledge your feelings, but try not to dwell on the negatives. Focus on the good things in your life, no matter how small. Positive affirmations and visualisation techniques can help shift your mindset.

Seek Professional Help - If you're struggling, consider seeking help from a professional. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your feelings and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs.

❗️Remember, difficult times are temporary. Life is constantly changing, and what feels insurmountable today can become manageable with time and support. Trust in your resilience.

If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, know that you’re not alone. Reach out, take care of yourself, and keep moving forward. Better days are ahead.

Stay strong and take care.

Striving to be the best version of yourself is like going on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It's about embracing your strengths, acknowledging your weaknesses, and continually striving to improve and evolve. 🌿

Being the best version of yourself isn't about comparing yourself to other people or trying to meet an unreasonable standard of perfection. Instead, it's about being real, true to your values, and living a life that aligns with your ideals and purpose.

It involves taking care of yourself holistically - mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 🫶

This means nurturing your mind with positive thoughts, engaging in self-reflection , looking after your body with healthy habits, and nourishing your soul through meaningful connections and experiences.

It's also about setting goals, challenging yourself, and stepping out of your comfort zone to realise your full potential. Whether it's taking up a new hobby, learning a new skill, or overcoming a fear, each step you take brings you closer to becoming the person you aspire to be. 💪

And remember, being the best version of yourself is not a destination but a journey.

There will be highs and lows along the way, but each experience serves as an opportunity for growth and learning. So embrace the journey, celebrate your progress, and keep striving to be the best version of you, every day. 💖

Here for you if you need a guide along the way. Please contact me at www.asensetherapy.co.uk

"Remember, as you change inside, your world changes too." 🌿✨

If you're going through tough times, know that every step you take toward personal growth can shift your circumstances. Your inner changes have the power to shape your external reality.

Take a moment today to recognise the strength within you and the potential for positive change in your life.

🌞 Happy Bank Holiday Weekend! 🌞

As we head into the long weekend, remember to take a moment for yourself. This is a perfect time to relax, recharge, and do something that brings you joy.

Whether it’s spending time with loved ones, diving into a good book, or simply enjoying the great outdoors, make sure you take this opportunity to nourish your mind and body.

Stress and anxiety often build up during our busy lives, and it’s essential to give ourselves permission to unwind.

A well-rested mind is a powerful mind. If you’re finding it hard to switch off, try a few deep breathing exercises, a short meditation, or even a calming walk in nature.

Here's to a weekend filled with peace, happiness, and self-care! 🧘‍♀️🌿

Remember, if stress and anxiety are holding you back from truly relaxing, I’m here to help. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance to find your calm amidst the chaos.

Did you know that May is National Share A Story Month?

I thought I would take this opportunity, to share a little tale which illustrates the transformative power of mindfulness.

The Tale of the Anxious Sparrow ....

🌳In a peaceful wood, there lived a little sparrow named Sidney who was always anxious. Every sound and shadow made him worry. One day, a gentle breeze noticed Sidney’s anxiety and whispered, "Sidney, trust in the present moment."

🌬The breeze continued, "Look around you. Right now, you are safe on this branch, the sun is warm, and the forest is beautiful. When worries come, take a deep breath and focus on this moment. Trust that you are part of something bigger."

🧘Sidney took a deep breath and felt the calmness of the present moment. He noticed the beauty around him and felt the breeze's gentle embrace. His worries began to fade, replaced by peace and trust.

From then on, whenever Sidney felt anxious, he remembered the breeze's words, breathed deeply, and focused on the present. He learned to live one moment at a time, finding peace in the here and now. And so, the anxious sparrow found his wings and soared confidently through life.

If you would like support to manage anxiety, please do reach out and I will explain how I can help you. Marie

This week is Mental Health Awareness week 2024 and it remains as important as ever to raise awareness and destigmatise, so that more people are encouraged to seek the help they need.

“Movement” is this years theme, so find something for you which moves your body and mind.

Why not consider incorporating some of the following tips into your daily routine? These simple practices can help you take proactive steps towards supporting your own mental health.

Do also take this opportunity to check in with loved ones, friends and colleagues. 💕

🏊‍♀️ Incorporate exercise into your routine: Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a dance class, physical activity can work wonders for your mental well-being. Just a small dose of exercise each day can boost mood, reduce stress, and increase overall resilience.

🙏 Gratitude log: Start a daily gratitude log where you jot down things that brought you joy during the day, no matter how small. Things like the sun coming out, spotting a pretty flower or receiving a kind word from a friend can all count. This practice can significantly boost serotonin levels and help rewire your brain to notice the positive.

🏆 Celebrate Small Wins: Take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how minor they may seem. Whether it's completing a task or stepping out of your comfort zone, celebrate with a little dance or a pat on the back. This reinforces feelings of success, boosting motivation and self-discipline.

🧘 Practice Mindfulness: Take a few moments each day to practice mindfulness or meditation. This can help calm racing thoughts and bring your focus to the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety.

🤝 Reach out to friends, family, or support groups for connection and understanding. Sharing your experiences and feelings with others can provide comfort and validation, reminding you that you're not alone.

I’m also here to help, offering a warm, friendly and confidential service, which includes counselling, hypnotherapy or a combination of both. This can be in person or online.
