10.01.2022 Grapefruit is one of my favourite essential oils. Yes, I have several favourites... I love combining it with Cedarwood for diffusing and always add a few drops to my perfume mix Grapefruit itself is relaxing, with citrus oils known for their mood lifting properties, and it smells good enough to eat! Combined with Cedarwood, it is both refreshing and centering. In my house I diffuse this combination in our main living area, especially when the kids need a bit of settling ...down I only use Young Living Essential Oils, knowing that the product is 100% pure and ethically and sustainably sourced Have you ever tried Grapefruit EO? Let me know you favourite way to use this oil #YLEO #youngliving #essentialoils #cleanliving #toxicfreeliving #calming #mumssupportingmums #essentialoilsrock #crazylife

08.01.2022 Most of us know of, or at least something about postnatal depression. In recent years there has been an increase in education on this topic and I think generally there is a better acknowledgement of and understanding for this issue. Much less is known about pregnancy anxiety and/or depression... One of the hats I wear is that of a Psychologist who works specifically in the field of fertility, pregnancy and the postnatal period. And so I have seen an alarming increase in the ...number of women who experience anxiety and/or depression during what is supposed to be a happy time. On the upside, more GP's are recognising and referring, but it begs the question "how many women are missed?", how many women are struggling without telling anyone and without support or the right kind of help. It is common to feel worried at times during pregnancy, but when these worries become pervasive and constant, it can be extremely debilitating. It can also be a risk factor for developing postnatal depression post birth, if not dealt with. These women typically feel guilty that they are "not being positive enough" or for being afraid to bond with their unborn baby for fear of what might happen. Often they love in a constant state of overwhelm and can feel tearful and irritable. What is meant to be a joyful time of expectation feels like a heavy burden. It is so important for these women to know that: 1. They are not alone 2. They can get the right support 3. There are simple, practical things they can do each day to manage their anxiety Please share to spread the word.

06.01.2022 Multi-tasking... As women and mums we pride ourselves on our ability to multitask. I was certainly trying to do this on the weekend - tending to horses, children and pets whilst making breakfast, lunch and dinner, whilst doing a two-day real-time online course, whilst listening to the husband offload about work, the teenagers grumbling about the amount of schoolwork and the youngest wanting mummy-time after a full week back at school... Sounds familiar ?? Well, the reality ...is that we cannot actually multi-task. Our brains are really best designed to focus on one thing at a time IF WE WANT TO BE EFFECTIVE. When we constantly change focus in order to keep our fingers on multiple things at a time, we actually become less productive, and we even lose time. See, it takes times for our brains to refocus attention. Sometimes this may be microseconds, other times it will take longer to pick up the thread of where we had left off. What is the answer? Theoretically, to prioritise and allocate sufficient focused time for each activity. And I hear you say "yeah right!" Real life has many disruptions and distractions, especially if you have young ones at home. So, for the next week, pick just one job/chore/activity and allocate undivided attention time for it. E.g. if you find yourself checking your social media multiple times per day, and then getting sidetracked because you become interested in a post or want to comment straight away...allocate a SPECIFIC time each day (e.g. 11am for 30min) to focus on this activity and action it there and then. Avoid other distractions during this time, and GET IT DONE! Then shut down the app until the next session. Yes that means turning off notifications! I am clearly still working on this... but small steps will get me there Give it a go and let me know your progress ! #crazylife #mumssupportingmums #mumstheword #happyhomehappylife
