25.01.2022 DISMISSING EMOTIONS Clients that I see or talk to about their mental health will often downplay their emotions and feelings with statements about others having "problems worse than them" or "people are starving"! Whilst this is factually true in sense, it is important to recognise that our emotions, feelings and mental health problems are VALID and REAL! ... Anxiety does this as a knee jerk reaction to when we are feeling vulnerable and dont expect people to hear us or feel like they are a burden. YOU are NEVER a burden! YOUR feelings are VALID! YOUR emotions are REAL! YOU will get through this! I cannot stress this message enough

24.01.2022 SELF LOVE SUNDAY Dont forget to do something today to show yourself some love. recognise two things you are grateful for think of three positive words to compliment yourself... watch a funny movie and have a huge belly laugh take a moment to enjoy the winter sun warming your skin have an attempt at meditating for 10 minutes buy some fresh flowers for your home! Write below what self care strategies you practice! @livinorg

19.01.2022 SELF LOOOOOOVE Why is it that we can show every one else KINDNESS and POSITIVITY except ourselves????? Whats your favourite uplifting phrase you say to yourself? Mine is: "Shoulders back, big deep breath, you got this Gab" ... Drop yours below to share that love

19.01.2022 DEPRESSION Depression tells us that if you reach out to others the following is true: you are a burden to others they wont believe you... that it is all in your head you are making things up just be happy others have their own problems people dont need to listen to you just smile None of this is true, but the depression is always louder! Reach out to your loved ones if you think that they need to talk! Open up the convo! @caissie @moniluvseffects

19.01.2022 SO POWERFUL trigger warning: child sexual assault Very raw, very powerful video. But one that must be heard because its so incredibly real.

In the mean time, Gb talk about Self Love and the ways you can increase your ability to choose you always. Dont forget to follow us on social media using the handle @giftofthegabpc Dont be shy about getting on there and providing your feedback about the podcast and what you want to see more of. ... This week our guest is John Fairley From Country Valley. He is a dairy farmer from Picton NSW who peeked Gabs interest in 2018 when he advertised on social media about adopting his cows in order to help supply them food for the winter given the drought. What was funny about this interview is that being a farm in Picton, loads of friends stated that it is so close to the ocean, they wouldnt have seen drought!!! this is true in comparison to far more rural farms but is a good reminder that the drought hits closer to home than we often realise. John talks about buying from farmers, Mental health of farmers impacted, the struggle of farming in Australia today and what we as the local community can do about it. Such an amazing talk with such an amazing human. You can find out more about his particular farm at @countryvalleymilk on social media and also find him loitering at local farmers markets in Sydney and Canberra on a weekly basis. For Music credit this week is to @vlad-cuiujuclu and @Bensound.com See more

18.01.2022 SUICIDE This is such an emotive and powerful video that shows the insight to suicidal thoughts. Watch, listen, be empathetic ... So much love

17.01.2022 SUICIDE PREVENTION Today is such an important day! Suicide is taking away too many people that are silenced by their depression and mental struggles. ... These two people are the reason I keep fighting for more awareness These two people are why today and every other day is crucial to ask our loved ones how they are going? These two people were taken far too early! I miss these two every single second of my life Reduce the stigma, reach out and ask your loved ones if they are okay!

17.01.2022 SELF LOVE MONDAY Start your week off right! Despite how are feeling this morning, I will remind you that you are fabulous just being you! ... Repeat five times! G xoxox @makedaisychains

17.01.2022 Such a powerful message to show that MENTAL ILLNESS is the silent killer! We cannot know what is going on for others and just because people smile or pretend to be okay, doesnt mean that they are! To anyone struggling, please know that if you reach out, you will be heard despite the depression telling you not to. ... Much love for this Monday morning!

17.01.2022 PROGRESS IS SLOW Sometimes for motivation we need to realise how far we have progressed OVER focusing on how far we think we have yet to go! WELLNESS WEDNESDAY!

16.01.2022 I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! What a wonderful way to see that despite the forced segregation by the Trump administration, children from 2 countries still play together! #weareallonerace

15.01.2022 HELLLLLLLLLLLP! Throwing out an idea to all you listeners of the podcast! I had great feedback for both the interview of the guest but also LOADS of feedback about the self care tips. Given this I am wondering whether I split the current podcast and still have the guest interview being released on Fridays, and having a small self care/self love episode released on a Monday!!!! This will mean that they are easier to listen to in one sitting. ... OR do I just leave it as is with the intro from me and the guest all in one episode? Let me know what you want....

14.01.2022 SELF CARE The amount of excuses that people come up with to say that they dont have enough time to fit in self care is astronomical. I even find myself saying the same excuses. So this morning it is about slowing down with a face mask from @sandandskyaus and listening to some mindfulness sessions through the app @smilingmind ... Force yourself to find 10 minutes today!!! Drop below your self care activities that make you feel amazing!

14.01.2022 7 LIFE LESSONS Sometimes making simple adjustments in our perspective is all it takes to help change our view of ourselves and lives. YOU have to become your biggest CHEERLEADER!

10.01.2022 FRI-YAY Not only is this naked molrat-esque animal an apt representation of my looks, but this also accurately describes my day, especially now as its 5 oclock on FRIDAY! Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday evening to top off a week! ... G xoxox unknown

08.01.2022 HELPING OTHERS Its not often that an 8 year old can teach us how to be better humans. Today it was the wish of a special 8 year old who wanted to give back to others less fortunate for her birthday. ... So tonight we served food to the homeless thanks to the organisation @onemeal_

06.01.2022 Welcome back to episode 6!! MAJOR apologies for the 2 week delay in releasing a new episode. There was a slight de-motivating period that Gab went through. Thankfully this weeks guest Warren Bridges is such an inspiration to just keep moving forward that it was the perfect episode to return with. Warren was introduced to Gift of the Gab through Paul as they went to school together. This was such an amazing interview with someone who has lived his life being different to A-t...ypical hands due to a genetic condition, but he wouldnt have it any other way. for more information on the work he does visit the website https://www.aecg.nsw.edu.au/ We do need to apologise that the recording for this podcast is patchy at times. The mic was definitely having issues, but we should have fixed that now. I blame Paul being in charge of sound of course.

05.01.2022 THIS is why this page was started. There are too many people suffering and feeling isolated. We need to break the stigma of mental illness and we need to allow others to reach out so we can save some lives. 8 Australians each day die by suicide, 6 of them men. Just heart breaking news. Very powerful segment by Peter Hellier.

03.01.2022 ITS OKAY This image says it all! Its okay to feel, its okay to reach out, its okay to be you! ... One more time for the people in the back: ITS OKAY TO FEEL, ITS OKAY TO REACH OUT, ITS OKAY TO BE YOU!! @laurajaneillustrations

Its a wonderful feeling to be pushed down a peg or two and be humbled. We are all just one race attempting to make it through this rollercoaster life together.

01.01.2022 INCLUSION This picture is a good representation of how society deals with someone being DIFFERENT to the norm! Listen to Episode 6 on Gift of the Gab to hear about how our guest Warren Bridges has never viewed himself as DIFFERENT from others despite having a rare genetic disorder which affects the growth of his fingers. His fresh and bubbly personality is wildly refreshing and celebrates how amazing being DIFFERENT actually is. ...
