A pause in the intensity to connect with nature sun and loved ones does wonders for relaxing and releasing. A massage to release built up tension of weeks of hard work and now a change of scenery filling up my cup, we need to be sustained to hold others.

Got this little gem last weekend at the works, not one for self help books but sometimes you may find something that frames an intention and for me this has been that little jolt. Setting up the week from Sunday means being intentional and making things happen. This week it was about replenishing what has been depleted, be it shampoo or my connections with people and my fitness, it’s always work in progress but it’s the little things, the 20% that makes the 80% difference. Onwards to the next week, it’s about finding inspiration.

Returning from Greece and the sun and sea and familiarity I felt the need to ground myself in my environment and namely connect with the local countryside which I so love. Walk mindfully and mindlessly too,losing and finding myself but also attune intentionally and let the experiences impact me on a sensory and emotional level is truly enlivening and soothing for the nervous system.

Trips down memory lane can get harder when we haven’t fulfilled our developmental goals in a good enough way, life if a grieving process and the past can be interpreted differently from the present to how it felt. A stoic and reflective attitude of acceptance does not relieve us from pain but it helps to relish what you had and let it go. Being an immigrant means you have less time and opportunity to process this change as it gets confused by longing and missing people and places. It’s an iterative lifelong journey.

I am running a day-CPD workshop in collaboration with Northern Guild on cultivating embodied presence for counsellors and psychotherapists for all orientations. This is a vast topic so this is an experiential taster-day with some learning and tools to take away. The day will be focused on personal experience and not run as a therapy group. If you are interested/have a question, please contact me or the Northern Guild at the number/email on the flyer to fill in an application form.

Who would have known that apart from good for your skin and heart, beach sauna and cold sea dip is also good for the soul, connecting with friends and strangers, meaningful soulful exchanges that soothe, and regulate and also fill your cup with hope for this world.

Parts work through embodiment. Understanding how some parts of ourselves became unacceptable and pushed into shadow to the point where we are not even aware of them and their needs. Integration with compassion brings wholeness and wholesome healthy relationships. Embodiment practices and relational psychotherapy can support us in this growth process.

Early mornings are a great opportunity to tune in and decide how you want to experience this day. Each morning a new opportunity, even if yesterday did not yield all we hoped for we can start again. The antidote to the continuous chase of time and productivity is to choose intentionality where we put our energy. Then we have no regrets. The direction you take is where you are ultimately heading. Focus on what’s important, one day at a time. ness
