25.01.2022 Its Mindful Monday, and we are going into a new week at Character Care with a grateful mindset! Finding the smallest things in every day to be thankful for helps us to see more positivity in the world. This morning we were grateful for a slobbery kiss from our furry friends at home, a smile from our local barista and the Queensland sun shining during winter. What are three small things you can be grateful for in the present moment? #mindfulmondays #gratitudeattitude #motivationalmondays #characterchats #starttheweekright #gratitudepractice #charactercaremoorooka

23.01.2022 It’s in our name and one of our core values CHARACTER. We thought this quote by Helen Keller hit the nail on the head. Character is grown through adversity, challenges and unease.

20.01.2022 Happy Friday! Earlier today, we posted about the power that one decision can have in completely changing lives. But you may ask, how do I know I am making a good decision? Well, one of the ways in which we can make sure we are making decisions that is good for us and that will make us happy is to be clear about our own values. Knowing what we value in life, whether it is happiness, family, or even health, can help us in making decisions that agree with our values. And in doing so, we can be assured that we are making choices that would give us a value-filled life! #quotes #values #decisions #decisionmaking #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #act #clearvalues #charactercaremoorooka #charactercare #therapistsofinstagram #counselling #service #queensland #brisbane #telehealth

Last week may not have been going as planned or as expected, just because everything may not be going the right way doesnt mean you cannot take a different path, what is stopping you? Be mindful of your preconceived ideas of where you "should" be and maybe think if they are where you can go. Happy Mindfulness Monday! #mindfulmondays #mindfulness #goleft #dontletanyonebringyoudown #newweek #charactercaremoorooka #counselorsofinstagram #brisbane

11.01.2022 Mindfulness is about being consciously aware of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. From personal experience, being present and mindful within the moment can help with feelings of anxiety about the future. There are plenty of tips online about how to practice mindfulness, from focusing on your breathing, to finding a comfortable place to sit. However for this post, we wanted to give you an example of being mindful. Imagine you were drinking coffee with a friend. Someone... who was mindful would be focused on what they were doing, i.e. present in the moment. However, someone who struggles to be mindful, may find themselves distracted by the pressures of life, with their mind being ‘somewhere else’. A mindful person in this situation would benefit from reduced anxiety, and improved concentration and listening skills. Mindfulness can be a difficult task, however we hope that this example gives you a clearer idea of what it is, and intrigues you to give it a go! #charactercare #arttherapy #mindfulness #counsellingservices #arttherapylife #therapy #meditation #mentalhealth #howto

10.01.2022 This Wisdom Wednesday we want to let people know that you cannot change your life will not trying to do some. Trying is the first step.

08.01.2022 Happy Friday Everyone! To end the week, let us ponder over this quote by Roy T. Bennett, Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. In life, it is important to learn to really listen to others and be curious about their experience, rather than just hearing them and waiting for our own turn to speak. And when we do speak, let us speak with honesty and genuineness and make sure our actions speak integrity. Have a lovely weekend! #friday #quotes #honesty #integrity #curiosity #charactercare #charactercaremoorooka #brisbane #brisbanetherapist #telehealth #therapistsofinstagram

08.01.2022 This Wisdom Wednesday we at Character Care found some real merit in this quote from Pablo Picasso. To much in life we focus on what is real and what isnt but isnt anything you can imagine real as well? Why is it that when we get older that imagination fades? Life doesnt have to be real or imaginary, it can be both! Just some Wednesday Wisdom for you guys #wisdomwedneday #wisdom #pablopicasso #imagination #imagine #real #counselorsofinstagram #charactercaremoorooka #brisbane

08.01.2022 Perfect is a word that might be easy to say but it is quite hard, mostly impossible, to achieve. But maybe perfection isnt meant to be achieved, maybe it is there to try and push us to be better, just some food for thought. To be real with what you CAN achieve is always important as being real to yourself and everyone around you is all we can really do. #mindfulmondays #mindfulness #bereal #real #realworld #achieve #counselorsofinstagram #charactercaremoorooka #brisbane

06.01.2022 Its Friday guys! Weve made it through the working week! Todays topic for FAQ Fridays is all about managing stress and burnout. Stress is an inevitable part of life, and external and internal expectations can be a huge strain on our physical and mental resources. A pile up of assignments or projects with a small amount of time to complete can compromise our perceived ability to succeed, which sometimes leaves us exhausted with nothing left in the tank. Were no stranger to ...these feelings and have a few tips to manage this burn out feeling and fill up that empty energy tank a little (from @resilienceagenda). Building habits to grow our mental fitness is what its all about! Utilising these three key habits can help our mental wellbeing and focus, allowing for resilience for these energy draining times in our lives. 1. Sleep! Focusing on getting good quality sleep rather than just getting more sleep is super helpful, this can be done by switching off blue light devices (phone and laptop) an hour before bed, reducing caffeine intake after midday, and journaling worries and wins of the day before bed. 2. Exercise and movement! Yeah we dont all love exercising but taking micro-moments in your day to get out of your chair, maybe go for a 30-minute walk, or even do a few stretching exercises or yoga! This is a great healthy break to give yourself a little distance from that project 3. Finally, Relationships! Temporarily switch off and spend a few hours with friends or family, theyre a great source to vent to, and also great practice in interpersonal skills like empathy, understanding and patience. You can do this! #ask #askus #charactercare #Friday #FAQfriday #mentalhealth

06.01.2022 Stress is something we all feel, and when we dont know what to do to help ourselves, it seems to build and build! We know the feeling!

05.01.2022 It can seem difficult at first, but changing the way you think about things-even if these changes are subtle-can bring a whole new perspective to light for you.

04.01.2022 Feeling lost? Unsure? There are certainly times when we are feeling like this. But probably we could all take a step back and look at things from a new perspective. When we wander out into the deep ends, that is when the adventure begins and where life starts for you. Be kind to yourself. See each unknown as a beautiful process that you are about to embark! #selfcare #adventure #feelinglost #process #counsellors #charactercaremoorooka #charcatercarecc #perspective #brave #support

04.01.2022 This Mindful Monday we wanted to remind you that it is okay to make mistakes, it means you are learning and trying something. Without mistakes life wouldnt have any learning and wouldnt have anything to try for, to test yourself on. Make mistakes, and be mindful to TRY and not make the same one again! #mindfulmondays #mindfulness #mistakes #mistakesarelessons #try #tryit #trying #charactercaremoorooka #counselorsofinstagram #counselling #brisbane

04.01.2022 On this FAQ Friday, we want to discuss loneliness and feeling alone. This year, with the pandemic and social distancing, it can feel isolating, which can leave us feeling tired, disengaged with work or life, and disconnected and longing to see friends and family. So we just wanted to offer a few ways that you can alleviate those lonely feelings. Checking in with your loved ones, this can seem obvious, but this can be done in many ways: 1. Through a simple text or message ...over social media, perhaps asking to catch up for lunch or a coffee 2. It's a bit old fashioned, but giving a call to a family member and hearing the voices of those you love can really give that small boost of reassurance 3. Finally, zoom and facetime! If you are still a bit weary of going out too often or making physical contact, these are great options as you not only get to hear the voices of your loved ones, but get to see them too. Sometimes you can just video call while you are doing housework or miscellaneous tasks which is quite comforting ans reassuring. Basically use social media and technology to connect with others if you don't want to reach out for a real life hang, we know it’s not the same but reaching out to others may also help their lonely feelings-you’d be doing them a favour! #charactercaremoorooka #charactercare #emotionalsupport #counsellorsofinsta See more

04.01.2022 This Mindful Monday we ask you to look within yourself to be more curious rather than judgemental. Everyone has a reason for doing what they are doing and for the way they are doing it, it is important to not judge others for doing something different to you but rather be curious to why they are doing it a certain way, maybe it is something you havent thought of before. To be open-minded to what the world has to offer. #mindfulmondays #mindfulness #judgementfreezone #compassion #curiosity #counselorsofinstagram #charactercaremoorooka #counselling #brisbane
