25.01.2022 Here are some precious words from me to you, to help you navigate your way through this journey as best you can. Feel the feelings, breathe, work from a base of what I can control and then take action. Stay safe, stay well.... Kobie x. See more

24.01.2022 DAY SEVEN//12 Days of Self-Care Its the last day of the year! Its also day seven of our self-care challenge. With many New Years celebrations kicking off tonight, and plenty of reflections and resolutions being posted on social media, todays task is to practice generosity and align this practice with self-care. Bonding and nurturing are what make us human, and the practice of giving increases our self-respect and, in turn, helps us accept gifts when they are given t...o us (self-worth). So today, make a promise to yourself to do something generous and practice generosity in the new year. HOW: - Be helpful: Do something simple like give your New Years host a special present, or help with the cleanup tomorrow. In our daily lives, this may be as simple as helping a friend with a task, offering your time to a loved one, or doing some housework. - Know your limits: Only offer what you know you can do and what you feel comfortable with doing. Do not mistake of things that may harm you with things that are generous. Forgiving someones bad behaviour is not generosity, that is self-harm. - Give your time: The ultimate act of generosity is giving someone your full attention and time. Stay present with others. They will feel the benefits of your generosity. - Realise those positive feelings that come with giving. Soak them up. You deserve it. - Allow others to be generous to you. When its your turn to take the microphone, people will listen. Allow them to give their time generously. How will you be generous in 2020? #12daysofselfcare#kobieallisonpsychology#positivepscyhology#selfcarepractice#mindfulness#acceptance#bodyandsoul#positivity#freedom#begenerous#generosity See more

23.01.2022 DAY TWO// 12 Days of Self-Care Instead of heading out to any boxing day sales today, why not focus on things around you that you can find beauty in. How?... - Take a few moments to really LOOK at the things around you. Does anything delight the senses? - You can find beauty in mundane things, objects places so don't think of the obvious - Look closer. It could just be the smell of coffee that is beautiful (and it absolutely is) - If there is any sense of pleasure, you've found something beautiful. Let yourself be surprised by the unexpected beauty of mundane objects. - Recognise the beauty in others - perhaps you find the lines besides their eyes endearing, or their character positive and warm. This will help us value beauty without creating unreachable standards for the things around us. We can begin to recognise the beauty in ourselves (the most important part of this practice). What did you find beautiful today that surprised you? We'd love to know! Leave your beautiful thing in the comments. #12daysofselfcare#mentalhealthchallenge#kobieallisonpsychology#selfcare#mindfullness#mentalhealth#begrateful See more

19.01.2022 DAY EIGHT// 12 Days of Self-Care The beginning of the year is commonly a time that brings the hope of change, renewal, and commitment to oneself. The concept of New Year's resolutions, although positive in nature, can often bring about more anxiety and pressure for ourselves throughout the year. Today's task is to revise your resolutions and instead of writing down grandiose goals, turn your attention to your daily habits. HOW?... - Habit tracking: Habit tracking is the practice of monitoring the tiny things you do every single day. It helps us break down our larger goals into smaller achievable goals that are more realistic. - Ask yourself questions about what you could do once a day, or once a week, in order to achieve a larger goal. For example, if your goal is to slow down and work less, what could you do every day that will improve your chances of achieving that goal? Perhaps your resolution could be to say 'no' to extra work each week, or to make time for meditating after work so that you don't 'take work home with you.' The key is to make smaller, concise goals. - Take every day you practice a new habit as a win! You are working each day to achieve something and you should be proud of your efforts. - Larger resolutions or goals take time, and definitely sometimes more than a year. Remember you are in no way failing if your goals take longer than expected. For your self-care, make sure you work achievable goals into your routine so you can feel the benefits of those little wins! What habits will you track in 2020 to achieve your goals? ................................................... #12daysofselfcare#kobieallisonpsychology#positivepscyhology#selfcarepractice#mindfulness#acceptance#bodyandsoul#positivity#freedom#newyearsresolutions#selfacre#dailypsychology#dailyinspo#goalsetting#2020goals#habittracking#plan#happynewyear#newyear See more

18.01.2022 DAY SIX// 12 Days of Self-Care Today's task is all about acceptance and understanding that our influence has limits - sometimes we have no power to change anything. If we teach ourselves to accept the things we can't change, we are more capable of dealing with life's difficulties and we can navigate through a negative situation realistically. HOW?... - Understand that acceptance does NOT mean approval, acquiescence, overlooking, or forgiveness - you are just facing the facts and accepting you can not change something. - Ask yourself: Can I accept that this is the way it is, whether I like it or not? If the answer is no, reflect on the situation and your place in it. Can you possibly and realistically make any changes or influence the outcome? The answer may be no, and your acceptance has to start there. - Take in all the positive feelings that come with acceptance. Focus on the positive feelings, not your anger at limitations. - In terms of self, consider a part of your body or personality that you feel negative towards. Be truthful to yourself about what you can actually change and make a CLEAR choice as to what you will actually do. Negative behaviours are things you can change, whereas often our physical bodies are not. What we can change is our ability to see our full selves positively. Remember, acceptance does not mean forgiveness and overlooking. Accepting that someone else is who they are is not forgiving someone for bad behaviour, it's a step towards your own freedom. It's self-care. You can not change them, so perhaps it is time to reevaluate their position in your life. Thank you for joining us for day six of our self-care challenge. We hope it gives you something to think about as we end this year and start a new one. **Adapted from Rick Hanson's "Just One Thing" #12daysofselfcare#kobieallisonpsychology#positivepscyhology#selfcarepractice#mindfulness#acceptance#bodyandsoul#positivity#freedom See more

18.01.2022 We are not only the skin we live in, but we are also shaped by the journey's experienced thus far. We have thoughts and we have emotions, however it is important to understand that it is not these thoughts and emotions that define us. Here we truly hold the power to choose which ones stay and which ones go. This choice can simply lead to two very different outcomes. You are not alone, as our job as a therapist is to join you on on that journey, whereve...r you may be and give you those precious tools for deep support. After-all, we are all humans and most of us have not been given the tools to help us navigate the most supportive path on this incredible journey of life. We are here for you. >> Head on over to our website now to book in for a online or in person consultation, to help provide you with the tools to manage the short or long journeys life deals us. @cedarandstonebotanicals #kobieallisonpsychology #kap #kindness #compassion #acceptance #brisbanepsychologist #holisticpsychologist #psychologist #love #heartspace #selfcare #selflove #support #guidance #brisbanehealthandwellness #holistichealthbrisbane #alliedhealthbrisbane #trust #KAP #therapist #therapy #selflovetools #toolsofsupport #mentalsupport #mentalhealth #mentalselfcare See more

18.01.2022 A little reminder from your higher self. Don't forget that your thoughts do not control you. Simply take this precious time to acknowledge them. If these thoughts are not helpful, loving and kind simply send them on their merry way. Invite love and kindness into your mind and body as much as possible.... + Here we invite you to tag a friend in the comments below that brings pure love and kindness into your life. See more

16.01.2022 Welcome to DAY FOUR of our self-care challenge. The average person spends almost 7 hours looking at screens every day. For many of us, that number is much higher. Today's challenge is to put your phone and laptop away and UNPLUG! Who knows what amazing experiences you may have without it. Rid yourself of the pressures of social media and emails. ... Take in your experiences with your eyes and your senses, experience your emotions and spend some time appreciating the things around you. We promise, you definitely did have that coffee even though you didn't post it to Instagram. It's really important to unplug and have a digital detox regularly. We tend to get so invested in our digital lives that we forget to do the simple things that make us human. Perhaps today is the day to finish an art project, read that book that has been sitting on your bedside table for a year, or just talk to your friends about the year that's been. Check-in with us tomorrow for the next challenge and let us know if you managed to get through the whole day without any screen time (We know this is a hard one). #12daysofselfcare #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcarechallenge#mentalhealth#positivepsychology #mindfulness See more

15.01.2022 DAY 10// 12 Days of Self-Care We will go more into this one in a blog post, but todays task is to reflect on what you put into your body and to make a meal plan! Food not only affects our physical bodies, but it can also have a massive impact on mood, energy and overall wellness. HOW: ... MAKE A MEAL PLAN, clean out your fridge and stock it full of mindful foods. To get you started, here are a few foods that have been scientifically proven to improve mood, energy and mental wellbeing: - Berries (especially blueberries! They improve memory and concentration span) - Yoghurt (probiotics have been proven to lower stress levels) - Wholegrains (the serotonin assists in calming the mind) - Leafy greens (This one seems obvious but most people dont eat enough - leafy green food increases cognitive awareness) - Beans and legumes (these bad boys keep you fuller longer so that your sugar levels are kept stable. You burn more energy which improves mental health. They are also known for improving memory) - Oily Fish - for those that eat meat, choose fish! Its full of benefits for the body and mind, its been proven to reduce anxiety. Adopt a holistic approach to dieting and improve your mental health in the process. What are you going to add to your fridge in 2020? Or what will you vow to remove? ............................................... #12daysofselfcare#selfcare#bodyandsoul#mealplan#foodprep#healthfoods#healthyeating#healthandwellness#wellness#foodformentalhealth#cognitiveawareness#self-esteem#selflove#love#takecareofyou#enjoylife#foodforthought#positivepsychology#healthychoices#Brisbanepscyhologist#Brisbanehealth See more

11.01.2022 DAY 3// 12 Days of Self- Care This one seems obvious, but we guarantee it will be the on people ignore the most. PAUSE - take a break. Make a promise to yourself that you will take more breaks. Even if you pause for a minute or less, there will be positive accumulated effects. How?... - Give yourself PERMISSION: You deserve this and it's important for your health. - UNPLUG: You should be able to truly clock out, so put that phone away and turn off your computer. - Get out: Go for a walk, sit outside with a coffee for five minutes, look out your window or go somewhere you can be alone. - Make your body happy: the best way to take a break is to do something for your body - wash your face, take off your make-up, hydrate, have a short lie down or stretch your legs. It may seem like self-indulgence to take a break during busy periods, but it is critical to your mental and physical health. It's best to work micro-breaks into your routine so that our bodies can feel the accumulative benefits. What's your favourite thing to do when taking a break? #12daysofselfcare #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcarechallenge#mentalhealth#positivepsychology #mindfulness See more

09.01.2022 Creating a Supportive Sleep Routine In order to function at our best mentally, physically and emotionally we must prioritise our sleep. During our sleep is when all of our repair and regeneration work takes place, so if we deprive ourselves of experiencing this healing it impacts e v e r y cell in our body. See below for 5 ways to create a supportive sleep routine;... 1. Kindly put away all electronic device use (phone iPad, tv, laptop by 8pm) 2. Try adding 5 drops of pure lavender essential oil to your diffuser with appropriate water dilution, 3. Brew a glorious cup of chamomile tea and treat yourself to a good book. 4. Lay down on your floor, place your legs up on the wall and listen to your favourite relaxing song. Then place your hands on your belly and breathe deeply with your eyes closed until the song ends. 5. Wear blue blocking glasses, install the app f.lux on your computer (automatic blue light blocker) and activate the night shift settings on your smart phone. >> Tag a friend in the comments below that struggles with poor sleep, as just one of these tips may be able to help them. @bed.threads See more

09.01.2022 How did everyone go with their digital detox yesterday? We will be posting this challenge as a blog post in the New Year - so if you've been following along but haven't been up to doing the challenge with us, there is plenty of time to take on the self-care tasks at your own pace. For those of you that have been following, welcome to day five! Today's task is to check on your sleep habits. The odds are that you don't get enough of it. Time, consistency and quality of sl...eep are the most important things to ensure you feel well-rested and healthy the next day. HOW: - Observe your routine: What reasons do you have to stay up at night? How many hours of sleep do you get each evening and do you feel like it's enough? What time do you usually wake up and why? - Think deeply and realistically about your habits: Do you KNOW that you are not getting enough sleep. The amount of sleep needed for each person differs, so try and evaluate what feels right for you. - TODAY: Start a new routine. This may be as simple as eating dinner earlier so you do not go to bed feeling super full and bloated, which could lead to bad sleeping habits. Pick a 'bed-time' and set an alarm to wake up. Keep this momentum going and do the same thing every day for the rest of your challenge - Reevaluate how you feel when you wake up and how much energy you have during the day. We know it's the holidays for many of you, but trust us, your body will love you for it. If not now, just make a mental promise to yourself to give your body the sleep time it deserves. #12daysofselfcare @kobieallisonpsychology #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcarechallenge#mentalhealth#positivepsychology #mindfulness See more

09.01.2022 Day Twelve// 12 Days of Self-Care Weve reached the end of our #self-care challenge and want to end it on a high note. What better way to round things off than with love! Todys challenge is to extend #love to others and yourself. ... Loving others should be understood as service to others and not slavery to others. Choosing love over resentment and fear is extremely hard and this type of therapy challenge may not come easily to everyone, as we are products of our own experiences. Nevertheless, this could lift a weight off your shoulders and make you capable of feeling more love for yourself accepting love from others. HOW: 1) Recall a time from your life in which you were deeply and unconditionally loved, by a friend, a family member, a partner, or from yourself. What was that like? What did it feel like? Be conscious of this love now because love never dies even if you are not with the person who gave you this love. 2) Now, offer that love to someone in the present. Maybe it will take the form of a text to that person or a hug or a kind word about that person to others. Be creative. Someone you feel deserving of your love. 3) Is there someone from your distant past at whom you still are angry? Now offer the kind of love you did in #2 above. 4) Is there someone in your life now who could be more closely connected to you, and should be, but you are somewhat distant? #Forgive that person by offering the kind of love in #2 and 3 above. Maybe you havent forgiven yourself for something, so now is the time to work on self-forgiveness. 5) Now offer that love to yourself if you need self-forgiveness. Discover that you, too, are a person worthy of receiving love. Tag someone in the comments to let them know they are loved unconditionally by you and get this going!! 6)An optional extra - Express love in the form of a donation to the brave men and women fighting the current bushfires (https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/volun/support-your-local-brigade). Learn to love more consciously, more deliberately, more deeply. Australia needs love right now, and you deserve it too. #12Daysofselfcare #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcare#donate See more

08.01.2022 Merry Christmas! Today we see the beginning of our take on the 12 days of Christmas. Our focus is on self-care! It's so important to build positive self-care practices as the year comes to an end and a new one begins. Join us as we offer one self-care task each day for twelve days. DAY ONE - BE GRATEFUL... What better way to kick things off? How? - NOTICE: Bring to mind someone or something that you feel gratitude towards. - This person, experience, place or object could be from now or from the past. - ACCEPT: Once you've found someone or something to be grateful for, accept them/it as a gift, not to be refused. - REFLECTION: Recognise the benefits of what has been given. Being grateful helps us accept gifts that are freely offered. We feel a sense of abundance while avoiding feelings of unworthiness. It also allows us to gain perspective on our own lives about what is important to us. What are you grateful for? Tag a person you are grateful for in the comments below or let us know what experience, place or thing you chose! #12daysofselfcare#mentalhealthchallenge#kobieallisonpsychology#selfcare#mindfullness#mentalhealth#begratefull See more

07.01.2022 DAY ELEVEN// 12 Days of Self Care Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the momentnoticing thoughts and letting them go, without judgment. As we get very near to the end of our self-care tasks, being mindful is a practice that can improve our quality of living every day and can help us successfully achieve our other self-care tasks. With this shift in mindset, the benefits of your self-care routine will be amplified, and youll see a boost in your mood as ...well. HOW? ** Enjoy things as they happen - engage in a really interesting conversation with someone. ** Exercise without judgment - if you go to the gym, or go for a run, remember everyone is doing their best, including you, and you deserve a pat on the back for showing up and choosing your health as a priority that day ** Taste your food - turn your meal into a gratitude practice by noticing and appreciating the vibrant colours and flavours of the foods youre choosing to fuel your body. ** Enjoy the treats you give yourself - don't stress about eating chocolate or taking a morning off work to get your hair done or have a sleep-in. We all need these things and they are not everyday occurrences, so enjoy them! ** Be present where you are - This is especially relevant when you travel. Experience a scene with your eyes, not your screen. Furthermore, those emails can wait until you get home. Your time away is for you alone. ** Notice your surroundings - How beautiful are the trees and types of flowers on your street? Or even just the sun on your face as the morning awakens! Try walking to work, or walking somewhere in the afternoon. There's always something new to set your eyes on. It's beautiful! Other mindfulness practices can include: reading books, writing a journal, listening to music and frequently doing breathing exercises. #12Daysofselfcare #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcare#mindfulness#enjoylife See more

05.01.2022 OXYTOCIN Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland. Oxytocin is also recognised as one of the 'love' hormones, alongside dopamine and serotonin. Oxytocin has the incredible ability to enhance the following in our relationships;... trust gazing empathy positive relationship memories fidelity positive communication processing of bonding cues Oxytocin has also been shown to decrease stress and anxiety levels when released into certain parts of the brain, which reinforces it's significance in our everyday lives. So during this time of self isolation, we gently encourage you to connect with your loved ones daily (following all COVID-19 precautions of course) to help release our love hormones during this stressful time. Whether it is simply sending a text message, jumping onto a video call or connecting with the ones you live, take your pick. Here this connection to the ones we deeply care about, can serve as the best medicine at your fingertips for our mind, body and soul.

03.01.2022 DAY NINE// 12 Days of Self-Care Humans are social creatures, and even those that would consider themselves introverts need quality time with others. Healthy relationships with others improve our overall well-being. Many self-care rituals are internal tasks, but building healthy relationships is fulfilling and can endorse our sense of self-worth. Many of our experiences and strengths develop in and depend upon, relationships. The rewards of knowing and acting through p...ersonal strengths may be more fulfilling and lead to greater well-being when we feel self-directed and connected to others. (Dr Tim Sharp) Today's task is to make time for others. Remember that 'quality over quantity' is ideal here. HOW? - Plan: Make time for some quality face-to-face time with a friend or family member. Let people know when you are available to spend time with them throughout the week. - Distractions: Turn off your phone if you need to and get outside of the house. You may want to take a long walk with a friend or grab a coffee with them. Make sure the time you spend with your loved ones is uninterrupted. - Enjoy the endorphins: You deserve to be able to have quality time with others. It will make you more productive in your job or at home, so let in those positive feelings! ......................................... #12daysofselfcare#kobieallisonpsychology#positivepscyhology#selfcarepractice#mindfulness#acceptance#bodyandsoul#positivity#freedom#begenerous#generosity#qualitytime#qualityoverquanitity#selfcareroutine#mindfullness#newyearchallenge#behappy#happiness See more

01.01.2022 Day Twelve// 12 Days of Self-Care We've reached the end of our #self-care challenge and want to end it on a high note. What better way to round things off than with love! Tody's challenge is to extend #love to others and yourself. ... Loving others should be understood as service to others and not slavery to others. Choosing love over resentment and fear is extremely hard and this type of therapy challenge may not come easily to everyone, as we are products of our own experiences. Nevertheless, this could lift a weight off your shoulders and make you capable of feeling more love for yourself accepting love from others. HOW: 1) Recall a time from your life in which you were deeply and unconditionally loved, by a friend, a family member, a partner, or from yourself. What was that like? What did it feel like? Be conscious of this love now because love never dies even if you are not with the person who gave you this love. 2) Now, offer that love to someone in the present. Maybe it will take the form of a text to that person or a hug or a kind word about that person to others. Be creative. Someone you feel deserving of your love. 3) Is there someone from your distant past at whom you still are angry? Now offer the kind of love you did in #2 above. 4) Is there someone in your life now who could be more closely connected to you, and should be, but you are somewhat distant? #Forgive that person by offering the kind of love in #2 and 3 above. Maybe you haven't forgiven yourself for something, so now is the time to work on self-forgiveness. 5) Now offer that love to yourself if you need self-forgiveness. Discover that you, too, are a person worthy of receiving love. Tag someone in the comments to let them know they are loved unconditionally by you and get this going!! 6)An optional extra - Express love in the form of a donation to the brave men and women fighting the current bushfires (https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/volun/support-your-local-brigade). Learn to love more consciously, more deliberately, more deeply. Australia needs love right now, and you deserve it too. #12Daysofselfcare #kobieallisonpsychology#selfcare#donate See more

01.01.2022 DAY SIX// 12 Days of Self-Care Todays task is all about acceptance and understanding that our influence has limits - sometimes we have no power to change anything. If we teach ourselves to accept the things we cant change, we are more capable of dealing with lifes difficulties and we can navigate through a negative situation realistically. HOW?... - Understand that acceptance does NOT mean approval, acquiescence, overlooking, or forgiveness - you are just facing the facts and accepting you can not change something. - Ask yourself: Can I accept that this is the way it is, whether I like it or not? If the answer is no, reflect on the situation and your place in it. Can you possibly and realistically make any changes or influence the outcome? The answer may be no, and your acceptance has to start there. - Take in all the positive feelings that come with acceptance. Focus on the positive feelings, not your anger at limitations. - In terms of self, consider a part of your body or personality that you feel negative towards. Be truthful to yourself about what you can actually change and make a CLEAR choice as to what you will actually do. Negative behaviours are things you can change, whereas often our physical bodies are not. What we can change is our ability to see our full selves positively. Remember, acceptance does not mean forgiveness and overlooking. Accepting that someone else is who they are is not forgiving someone for bad behaviour, its a step towards your own freedom. Its self-care. You can not change them, so perhaps it is time to reevaluate their position in your life. Thank you for joining us for day six of our self-care challenge. We hope it gives you something to think about as we end this year and start a new one. **Adapted from Rick Hansons "Just One Thing" #12daysofselfcare#kobieallisonpsychology#positivepscyhology#selfcarepractice#mindfulness#acceptance#bodyandsoul#positivity#freedom See more
