Had lovely feedback from a client

Julia was amazing. She really took the time to listen to my problems and helped me understand how to navigate and deal with them. I felt genuinely listened to and supported, and her advice was really helpful. I’d definitely recommend Julia!

Hello 😊 do you feel like you’re doing everything right, but you’re still just… exhausted? 😮‍💨

​Not just "I need a good night's sleep" tired, but a deep, heavy kind of drained where even making dinner or answering a text feels like climbing a mountain.

​A lot of us are walking around in a quiet state of burnout, and it’s not always from working too hard. Often, it’s driven by chronic uncertainty.

​When the future feels blurry—whether it's career steps, finances, relationships, or just where the world is heading—our brains stay on high alert. Trying to navigate life when you can't see the road ahead is exhausting.

​If you’re feeling stuck in survival mode right now, here is a quick reminder:

​🛑 You aren't lazy; your nervous system is tired. Running on hyper-vigilance takes a massive physical and mental toll.
​⏸️ Rest isn't a reward you earn; it’s a requirement. You don't have to figure out the next 5 years today just to earn the right to relax tonight.
​🧩 Focus on the micro-choices. When the big picture is overwhelming, shrink your focus to just the next hour. What's one small thing that brings you comfort right now?
​It's okay if all you did today was keep your head above water. You don't have to have it all figured out to keep moving forward. 🤍
​If you’ve been feeling this lately, you’re definitely not alone. Drop a 💙 below if you needed this reminder today.
Sending Love Julia at mind oasis

There has been a big increase in anxiety and depression over the years the amount of people reporting to their GP has increased, we are all aware that a ban of social media it on its way, but what can we do for ourselves ? to begin to wean ourselves off what is a highly addictive piece of tech that is sadly affecting all of us young and old.
Whether its looking at some ones perfect life ( not always true by the way) or being sexually or racially bullied on line. Here are some of the steps we can take to detox from addictive algorythums. We have to manage it like its an addiction.

1 Manually log out after every session so logging back in requires active effort.

2 Use Screen Time Locks: Set app limits and ask a friend or partner to set the passcode so you cannot bypass it.

3 Physical Distance: Keep your phone in another room overnight or charge it away from your workspace.

4 Replace the Habit Loop
Identify Triggers: Notice if you scroll when bored, lonely, or stressed. Keep a journal of how you feel.
Pick Micro-Alternatives:
Replace scrolling with a book, a podcast, or a text message to a friend.
Carry Physical Subsitutes: Keep a pocket notebook, a kindle, or a physical puzzle nearby for idle moments.
Go for walks get out of the house and dont take your phone,go for 10 or 15 mins and build up to longer.
