24.01.2022 Do you have 6 hours a week to improve your relationship? I know for me, finding an extra 6 hours a week could feel daunting or downright impossible...BUT if you break it down (like you see in the image) and focus on the outcome, it could not only be achieved but also, you will very likely notice your fondness and admiration improving and feeling more attuned with each other. Partings - when you take your leave from each other, pause and take the 2 minutes to express your... wishes for each other, your plans for the day ahead, depending on how you are feeling, maybe a kiss or a cuddle. Example I hope you have a great day and get some peace or I know you are worried about that meeting, I am sending you courage for it Appreciation & Admiration - talk about the things you appreciate and admire in your partner. Give an example of how you’ve experienced that today. Example - I really appreciate the way you noticed that the car required fuel and you filled it up, meaning I didn’t have to or I really admire your ability to focus and I loved when you sat and helped our kid with their maths homework Reunions - spend the time to reconnect after you have had your time apart. Share what has happened to you during the day. Share your wins or your struggles or your dreams hopes for the following day. Remember to take turns listening and talking and as the listener, ask questions to understand your partners experiences. TOP TIP - do NOT offer advice unless it’s requested. Example struggles - today was really tricky for me as I had a tough interaction with a friend and I’d love to talk through with you how it felt or today was hard because I felt really overwhelmed with my workload and I don’t know how I’ll cope Example wins - today was great and I’d love to share with you the milestone the baby met or today I felt really appreciated at work Affection - Depending on where you are at in your relationship it may be that you want to express your affection differently. Example - If you have been struggling with intimacy, you may want to sit closely without touching or simply lay a hand on your partners shoulder. Or you may be feeling more intimate and feel comfortable sharing that, with cuddles and kisses. Whatever feels safe for you So, how will you spend those 6 hours? Maybe share this with your partner and come up with your plan together?

24.01.2022 If we spot another flailing or falling, offer compassion or a hand. And if you aren’t able to do that, be sure to pass no judgement

23.01.2022 Today marks the start of new beginnings Massive congratulations to Sophie Carroll who is a passionate and ethical women’s health provider who is creating a beautiful collaborative health space in my hometown of the Southern Highlands and it opens today ... I know it will be a wonderful and welcoming space for all. I am also super excited to say that I will be joining Enlighten Physiotherapy's new space Enlighten Health Collective one day per week and I can’t wait. Thank you Sophie for creating this space.

22.01.2022 R U OK? These words could help someone feel less alone, cared for or seen at a time when they may be struggling, but it can be hard to know what to say next if the person feels able to share with you how they are feeling. I reckon most people I meet want to know how to help and communicate with others, but without education or guidance, how can you know what to do if someone tells you they are not okay. This years focus for R U OK day is "There is more to say after R U OK?". Check out this helpful clip for what to say next. Then, share this message with everyone you know, to help start those conversations that could really help someone today.

21.01.2022 I think sometimes we make the mistake of thinking it's hard for our friends to "be there". We apologize for our messes, our tears, our rants, our dirty floors, ...our needs, and our humanity. We invite them in with a mile long disclaimer that basically says "so sorry you have to be here". The truth is though that it's an absolute honor to be invited into someone's real. The truth is that getting to "be there" is a gift. I'll never forget the times I've gotten to stand along side my friends as they said their wedding vows. I'll never forget the honor of sitting with my friends as they cried deep and ugly and real tears. I'll never forget the times I pushed open heavy hospital doors to rush in and celebrate the birth of a friend's baby. (Hi little one, I'm Auntie Jess). I'll never forget late girls nights of venting and laughing till everything just felt better. I'll never forget the times my friends have asked for my help with something. (Even though sometimes asking for help feels vulnerable and hard). I'll never forget holding space during tragedy and loss. (Being there in those moments is nothing short of sacred). I'll never forget my friend's warm kitchens with sinks full of dishes and toys covering the floor. (It's my favorite). I think one of the greatest gifts of friendship is getting to be there. Being invited into another persons hard, their real, their mess, their magic, their pain, their joy, their everything...it's priceless. Being there is a gift. Love, Jess Follow Wonderoak by Jess Johnston for more.

18.01.2022 Thank you I just read this at the PERFECT time. At the pool with my 10 year old who is arguing with me about me being mean for making them wear sun screen or not be in the pool.

16.01.2022 Walking with my friend and sharing some worries I was having today. We walked past these gorgeous roses, and she said let’s stop and smell them #friends #stopandsmelltheroses #stressrelief #worry

15.01.2022 This is beautiful

14.01.2022 fresh air and happy places I have had lots of time working and being away from home. Now it’s time to nourish and replenish. What that means for me is cooking at home (my scouse dish that takes 2 days to make with slow cooked lamb and home made bone broth)... And bracing walks in my happy place with Michelle. What are you going to do this weekend?

14.01.2022 Such beautiful blooms from the lovely Josephine Achieving Solutions. We have sharing our nest with you and are so excited for your new chapter

13.01.2022 Thanks Southern Highlands Counselling for this awesome post

12.01.2022 Happy Sunday Give yourself permission to say no, to rest, to ask yourself what you need and get some of that. We are often so caught up in the whirlwind of life, commitments to work, family, friends, projects etc, we can forget that there is space to say NO.... To simply, stop. Or slow down at least. Practice it

12.01.2022 Asking what you need, then delivering I spent the most beautiful, nourishing, replenishing, peaceful day yesterday at Links House Hotel, Bowral at a yoga retreat held by the wonderful Christobel from Wholebeing Yoga I have wanted to do something like this for 10 years and I always find reasons not to. Can’t afford the money, can’t afford the time, it feels indulgent, I don’t have it in me to do a whole day of yoga....blah de blah de blah.... Finally, did it. And it was THE BEST!! It was with a wonderful group of people and the surrounding were gorgeous. Even the weather was perfect with all the rain It’s so important to ask yourself what you need, and then find a way to give yourself some of that. Not that we can all manage full days of yoga retreats all the time, but if you ask yourself what it is you need, fundamentally, is it rest? Is it connection? Is it nourishment? Is it stimulation? Is it fun? Then pick something that can give you this...even if it’s just a little. You deserve it my lovely humans Here are some pics from the day, for those of you who come to our offices, I’ll be hanging these charcoal drawings up somewhere. Go across to Christobel’s page for more info on her upcoming retreats

12.01.2022 At least 37 transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed this year, most of them Black and Brown transgender women. It’s intolerable. This Trans...gender Day of Remembrance, we honor their livesand recommit to the work that remains to end this epidemic of violence. To transgender and gender-nonconforming people across America and around the world: from the moment I am sworn in as president, know that my administration will see you, listen to you, and fight for not only your safety but also the dignity and justice you have been denied.

08.01.2022 Can your relationship thrive after infidelity and betrayal? The simple answer, from my perspective as an experienced relationship therapist, is that the answer is a resounding Hell Yes! The is a great piece written (from one persons perspective) as the participating partner in an affair, on his and his partners journey to rebuilding trust.... There are lots of factors that will impact the likelihood of healthy healing and ongoing relationship after betrayal though, and some things to consider are: the participating partners attitude about what they have done and ability to atone and empathise with the pain they have caused the betrayed partners ability or desire to work through and forgive (for what is owned and atoned) ability to work through what has been happening in the relationship such as turning away from each other; negative sentiments; avoidance; conflict; communication and negative comparisons time and patience with each other But, this is a great insight into what goes into understanding the process of healing after betrayal. If you would like to work through betrayal or any othe relationship challenges, working with an experienced and qualified relationship therapist can be really helpful. At Nest, we have 2 Gottman trained relationship therapists (level 1 and 2) and you can book an appointment with Tracy or Bryan by contacting Brooke - 0484 223 042 or emailing us at [email protected]
