25.01.2022 Breathing exercises can help us cope with shortness of breath, along with other common anxiety and panic related symptoms such as decreasing accelerated heart r...ate and relieving muscle tension. Diaphragmatic breathing exercises also shift our focus toward the rhythm of our breath, clearing the mind of anxiety and fearful, negative thoughts. #helpeachotherthrough #deepbreathing

25.01.2022 Disappointment, like pain, can be one of those things we would rather forget and not deal with. Processing your disappointment, however, helps your heart heal f...rom the hurt while filling you with fresh hope in areas you may have lost it. #processit #dontshoveit #whatareyoufeeling #godsgotthis

24.01.2022 Noticing self-talk is often the first step towards uncovering core beliefs. Core beliefs relate to peoples beliefs about themselves, others, the world around t...hem and God. Core beliefs are deeply implanted in the innermost being of a person; they influence thinking, which in turn influences feelings and behaviour. While self-talk can easily be identified, core beliefs are not so easily discovered by either the client or the counsellor. In counselling, there needs to be a diligent seeking-out of deep core beliefs for change in irrational self-talk to be achieved. Many helpful and unhelpful core beliefs come from a persons family of origin. Others come from their relationship with people in a faith community and spiritual teachings. Often, a relationship with God brings helpful and life-affirming changes in core beliefs, though a persons beliefs about God may also be distorted into unhelpful ones depending on the source of these beliefs. This is an area for careful exploration to determine the foundation of a clients understanding of who God is and how He relates to his children.

22.01.2022 Our brain goes into autopilot as a way to protect itself from going into overload. When a behavior or thought pattern is practiced enough, our brains eventually... adapt and turn it into an automatic process (i.e. habit) so it can can save the mental energy for other more novel experiences. However, when this adaptation mechanism starts spreading into areas that require more forethought (i.e. our thought patterns/ our goals/ our physical health/ our ego-driven behavior), it becomes a problem - costing us our emotional well-being and happiness. Change requires being uncomfortable. It means not making the same choice you made the day before. This is extremely difficult. Your brain and body will resist change. You are basically working against what you have learned all this time. This is why it is imperative that you maintain this new mindset throughout the day this can be done by journaling or meditating every day for 5-10 minutes. And if you can do this, you will slowly start to notice yourself changing for the better. Every single one of us are capable of changing our mindset and work on our healing, the hardest part is finding the time to do it. #consciousness #autopilot

21.01.2022 I've been reminded of this often this past week. We can use a simple smile or encouraging word, perhaps you use empathy to validate someone and just watch how your expression of love can have a ripple effect....

21.01.2022 Talking about something traumatic or painful or how you feel may feel overwhelming at first because you dont know what to say, where to start, or even how to g...et it out without completely falling apart. A few suggestions of you are struggling to find the words or energy to be open . . 1) start by writing down what is going on inside. This will help bring a little more order to your thinking and help you feel a bit more in control. . . 2) Share just a little bit at a time. You dont have to talk about everything all at once. Start by sharing a small detail or just talk about one of the many things you may be feeling. Bit by bit it will get easier to share how you feel . . 3) Imagine yourself talking to someone like a therapist while in the shower or even to your pet. What would you say? How would you say it? Mentally rehearsing to something will help you find the words and feel more in control . . 4) Talk to yourself about the issue while working out intensely while your heart rate is up. This will help train your mind to be in control even while you are physically feeling stressed and while cortisol levels are high . . 5) Objectify the situation by putting it in a box and talking about it as if its a movie plot or another persons problem.

17.01.2022 Do you ever learn something and tell yourself "If only I knew then, what I know now." You can't go back in time, but you can be the victory for someone else. Start something that will leave a legacy in place of the pain you experienced. #lookatyougirl #legacy #moralrevolution

16.01.2022 An internal monologue starts whenever something happens in life. This is called self-talk, and it is related to a persons core beliefs. Self-talk (ones intern...al monologue, automatic thoughts or cognition) is the minds private conversation about whatever is happening at the time; there may even be multiple conversations. Self-talk can be very fastup to 500 words a minuteand many people are not aware it is happening, or of its extent. Self-talk occurs automatically and aligns with old habits, whether biblical or unbiblical, rational or irrational. There are usually different levels or layers of self-talk. These must all be discovered and dealt with in counselling and therapy. Self-talk is like a recording playing in the mind. Many people have two play lists. For example, one playlist could be saying, I know I cannot be loved and approved by everyone, while another deeper tape is saying, more loudly to drown out the other, I really do need to be loved and approved by everybody. Or one play list could be saying I cant do it! Im no good! and the other says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! I am precious and priceless to God. One of the recordings is usually much louder than the other, so much so, that it drowns out the other. Which recording are you listening to? Australian Institute of Family Counselling Ltd RTO: 88037

13.01.2022 How do you grow gratitude in your daily routine?

10.01.2022 Our intimacy level in a relationship is directly connected to the level of honesty we have. If we are hiding intentions, feelings, hurts or desires we may have ...a surface connection but we cannot have deep mutual trust and intimacy. When we really value someone and the relationship, we will take the risk to be honest for the sake of protecting and increasing connection. #Honesty #Truth #Love #MoralRevolution

01.01.2022 There are so many things you do not know and this is also true: you will learn as you go. For even when you travel through an unknown place,... there are rhythms, there is grace. And when you start to feel alone remember: you are still on a journey home. And you will find peace along the way even as you see the landscape change. And as you practice breathing deep you will find you are free to take this day by day. For this are guided and you are seen even while you are sorting through things. So may you learn to embrace the process no matter where you are on the journey. Even here, you are still learning. And you are still growing, even if it takes time to see how it all takes shape. The journey itself will be the place that shapes you step by step day by day. MHN

01.01.2022 It can be easy to fall into a mindset where you need to win if you are in disagreement with your spouse. However, if love and connection are broken while doin...g so, then it isnt a win at all. You are on the same team and a healthy goal would be to keep your love on as you talk things out together. #kylo #keepyourloveon #moralrevolution #sameteam
