25.01.2022 Thought for the day - and it’s an important one .....

24.01.2022 For those who do not know. This man is a legend in the sport of surfing. Rob talks about his observations in the surfing culture with drugs and how it impacted surfers performance and sense of well-being.

20.01.2022 Always straddling the tension and trying not to tap out. Forever convincing ourselves that we can hold so many contradictory pieces and feelings. Not only are t...ension and contradictory pieces OK and normal they're the magic sauce. Carl Jung called the paradox one of our most valued spiritual possessions and a great witness to the truth. He wrote, Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life. Sometimes beautiful. Sometimes terrible. Always deeply human.

18.01.2022 Why do a large proportion of men conceal their anxieties, confusions, struggles and worries? The masculine role seems to be a narrative of decisiveness, independence, resilience and control. For many men, young and old, opening up about these areas that have been parked in their psyche and over time can lead to a compounding effect that can create a variety of mental health challenges.

17.01.2022 Greg Inglis. What a legend. Stars that share their story helps rid the stigma. Please read and watch if you’ interested.

14.01.2022 I admit that quotes can actually irritate me. They’re commonly designed to provide positive reminders Or insights into whatever the focus be. Yet there is undeniably a wide range of complexity with the world and life that there could be many counters to a quote. What I do know is that with mental health issues - depression, anxiety, fear, anger, sadness and despair are thoughts that feel uncontrollable. These thoughts become disorganised and reality also becomes seemingly d...isorganised. Sometimes books, medication, private or group therapy sessions, workshops, seminars and the whiny complaints to others don’t resolve the state of dis-ease. It’s tricky for people struggling with mental health illness because they can feel alienated by others for their confusing behaviour, and also by themselves for the shame they experience. Mental health amongst men is a troubling statistic world wide, let alone Australia. Unfortunately we are social creatures who most often require social safety - the need to feel heard or understood, to freely express, inclusion, and most importantly respect. Maybe this quote might shift your focus moving forward into a positive frame and be used as a small source of useful motivation. For yourself or maybe for others close to you. Peace and love.

13.01.2022 Awesome mission.

07.01.2022 Go to where you are celebrated, not tolerated.

04.01.2022 Don’t give up

01.01.2022 Trying to widen my perspective to take in more views is one of my most cherished practises for personal and collective healing. I do it through many ways, consu...ming diverse media, trying to surround myself with people who come from different environments and backgrounds, and probably my favourite - questioning. Whenever I feel stuck on how to move forward, or if I find myself in a conflict with someone I love, or I find myself shouting at the TV at some social issue that is causing me pain, I try and turn to these questions to see if there's a way to open up my perspective. I find when I do, there's a loosening, an opening, a sigh of relief from deep within my body that says "maybe there's a way forward". . I think perspective widening can be used in so many ways: when you're in conflict with a significant other reconciling polarising social justice issues when you feel stuck on how to move forward on a personal issue . There are probably many more! Here are the 5 questions I use. I hope they help. With love, Holiday x See more
