🧠 Empty Mind 🧠

The number of clients who say “I can’t empty my mind” and I just smile. You do not want an empty mind, you want one which is calmer, you want to be able to focus on one thing at a time. You want to be able to acknowledge the thoughts as they arrive and then take your attention back to your breathing 💫

That’s why in class we work on one thing at a time…
🌬️ your breath
💪🏻 your body
💭 your thoughts

And then you start to notice other things, that racing feeling in your chest starting to slow down. Your breathing getting a little deeper.

You start to yawn, you may even cough. And then you open your eyes, worried that you’ve disturbed your neighbours. But no…they are positive signs that your nervous system is shifting gears from a stressed state to a “rest and digest” mode.

If you want to know more, I would love to chat 🤍

💫 Friday Pause 💫

Thirty seconds.

That’s all this is.

Thirty seconds to pause, breathe and notice the sunlight through the trees.

Small moments like these can have a bigger impact than we realise. They remind us that we don’t always have to be rushing, fixing, planning or doing.

In July, I’ll be opening the doors to The Mind Department Membership which is a space for people who want more of these moments in their lives.

Regular mindfulness practices, reflections and a supportive community to help you slow down and reconnect with what matters.

For now, take a breath and enjoy the trees 🌿

👩🏼‍💼 1-2-1 work with me 👩🏼‍💼

If you’re feeling:
“Meh”
“Fine”
“Frazzled”

You’re probably looking for something to help lift that weight off your shoulders. You may have:
- hired a cleaner because that will take away one job
- increased the childcare hours
- been to therapy

And where you’ve taken away/ reduced one stress, you’ve just allowed another one to get bigger! Doing more work, taking on more clients, worrying more about the future…

Or you may have done nothing because you don’t know what you can do to fix how you feel.

I’m not here to fix you!

But I can help you reconnect with yourself and surroundings. I can help you enjoy the small things and find ways to manage your stress and anxiety.

I have space for a couple more 1-2-1 clients at the moment so let’s arrange a free call and see if this is what you’re looking for 💫

If this is hitting a nerve, you're probably very good at supporting other people.

But when was the last time someone supported you?

My 1-2-1 mindfulness programme starts with an 8-week journey where we create space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and understand what's really going on beneath the surface.

Many people come to mindfulness thinking they need to feel calmer. They’re looking for the solution.

What they often discover is that they need permission to stop carrying everything on their own. The classic “I’m fine!” comes to mind…

If you're ready to invest in yourself for a change, send me a DM with "I'm ready" and let's chat 💛

🌾 Friday Pause 🌾

Take a moment to stop scrolling, stop rushing and simply pay focus on the poppies in the field.

Allow yourself these two minutes, a gift to yourself 🤍

And if you’re enjoying these Friday pauses, keep an eye out for something new coming in July. I’ll be launching my membership which will create a space for you to practice mindfulness easily on your terms.

For now, take a deep breath in, sigh it out and come for a walk with me 🌺

We often think we’re overwhelmed because of the *last thing* that happened.

The email.
The comment.
The traffic.
The missed meeting (me yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️)

But often it’s not that one thing at all.

It’s all of the worries, responsibilities, expectations, disappointments and “I’ll deal with that later” moments we’ve been carrying around for weeks, months and possibly years.

Eventually, even one more drop is enough to make the cup overflow.

Mindfulness isn’t about pretending life isn’t full. It’s about creating moments to pause, notice what’s in your cup and gently let go of what no longer needs your energy.

An overflowing cup feels stressful, a full cup feels joyful 💫

What might you need to let go of today?

✋🏻 STOP ✋🏻

Look at your week ahead.

What is going to drain you? Sap you of energy?

Can you say no to it? Seriously, will the world really end if you choose to say no to something that will drain you this week?

I’m not saying that you need to walk away from all responsibilities. Sometimes when we take a step back and look at our diaries we can see that there are one or two things that we can choose not to do and it will help preserve our energy for the things we really can’t say no to.

Let me know what you’re saying “No” to this week 👇🏼

💫 Friday Pause 💫

When was the last time you did absolutely nothing for a couple of minutes?!

That means…
📱 no scrolling
📝 no planning
🤔 no problem solving
🏎️ no trying to get somewhere else

Just watching raindrops fall

So simple but a lot of us feel uncomfortable doing nothing in modern society and then wonder why we feel exhausted! The irony is that the very thing we think we don’t have time for is often the thing we need most - a pause 🤍

For now, take 2 minutes.

Watch the raindrops.

See what you notice.

And if you want more, you know where I am 💫
