25.01.2022 Fabulous Friday Who loves a good platter on a Friday afternoon or evening? Whatever you are doing this weekend, we hope you have some time to nurture yourself with some R&R. Lilly the beagle is keeping a close eye on any leftovers #happyfriday

25.01.2022 Fabulous Friday Here’s to a weekend of pause or paws! Therapy dogs ’Lilly’ loves nothing better than lying flat out on the cool grass. How about you? How do you pause? #fabulousfriday #pauseandreflect #paws #therapydogsofinstagram

25.01.2022 My gift to you :-)

25.01.2022 Mindful Monday Do you feel like you’ve got one foot in the I’m ok to keep going while the other foot is in the I’m really feeling tired, close to burnout and really need a break camp ? It’s ok if you’re feeling tired . Sometimes it’s a fine line between both camps. I want you to acknowledge this and then take some action for reset. Even if just for an hour (if you can’t block out more time that’s ok but promise me you’ll secure some more soon in your diary). W...e are responsible for noticing our limits and creating boundaries for self care. Just like the ploughed area of this paddock creates a boundary so that the fire cannot burn the other paddock and the hay nearby. Of course, we can always call in the water tanker if needed to put out spot fires but it’s much easier if we just set these boundaries from the start. Ps: A new community is coming soon just for you.

23.01.2022 Our herd might be in hibernation due to lockdown but despite this, we continue to share our equine empowerment program story #equineempowerment #eagala

23.01.2022 Telehealth to continue

23.01.2022 Wednesday wonder Who nose what the future holds? Do spend more time concerned or thinking about hypothetical worries vs real actual problems in the here and now? Thinking too far ahead and trying to work out exactly how things will be maintains anxiety. None of us can be sure of what the future holds. However, if we keep focused in the here and how and remind ourselves of our coping skills and internal resources, this will assist us to manage anything life might throw at us. Please give yourself some credit that you can cope and be ok. Look at what you’ve coped with already in life. You’ve got RPL credits in managing uncertainty just from living through 2020 and a global pandemic!!!Trust the process. The rest will take care of itself. #trusttheprocess #wednesdaywisdom

23.01.2022 Look how far you’ve come! When did you last and reflect on the year that’s been 2020? Here’s a quick snapshot of my attempts to be creative and resourceful whilst delivering Telehealth sessions during COVID-19 lockdowns 1 and 2. Whats yours look like in pictures? #innovate #kickcovid19

22.01.2022 Thanks for interviewing us (@sheppartonnews ) and again shining a light on the need for more mental health services in regional and rural areas. Look out for each other #mentalhealthawareness #suicudeprevention

21.01.2022 WEDNESDAY WONDER I often wonder why people wait before reaching out for support? What are they waiting for? Its never too early OR too late to seek support. Whether it be from a friend, family, teacher, colleague or a professional reach out. Support is available. In particular, I extend my message to our current students completing Year 12 in 2020. We see you. We hear you. We support you. #donotwait #seeksupportandstayconnected

21.01.2022 Mindful Monday Ahhh the serenity! One of my favourite things when I’m on holidays is to slow the pace right down and do lots of dreaming and planning... you know bigger picture stuff. When I slow down and settle, the picture becomes clearer and themes emerge regarding ideas I have to improve many aspects of my life, personally and professionally. Another way to do this is to make a conscious effort to reflect daily.. what went well? What could be improved! What’s your bigger why? Feel free to share your favourite reflection spaces. Yours in empowerment, Rachael #mindfulness #mondays

17.01.2022 Wednesday wonder When did you last tend to your little you? Have you validated him or her today? #innerchildwork #wednesdaywisdom

17.01.2022 How long have you been climbing towards your longer term goals and visions for yourself? For me, it’s been close to 21 years and I’ve had to sustain myself with the right support and packing supplies to sustain myself. The transformation for me went from a young student interested in psychology wondering what it would be like to be a psychologist and run a business to a Director of a private psychology practice with equine program, supervision programs and online pr...ograms and empowering many people be the best version of themselves. I’m still climbing and have so much now yet to achieve. If you need help with sustaining you, packing your bags and motivating you to keep climbing, then please consider working with us. Rachael has limited spaces for supervision, coaching and mentoring available on 2021. Here’s a little supply to pack in your bag Rachael's FREE E-book top 20 mindset hacks for 2020 and beyond then click on this link https://mailchi.mp//rachaels-top-20-mindset-hacks-for-2020 #coachinglife #mentoring #MachuPicchu #keepclimbing

14.01.2022 It’s hot here today but it looks like a storm is on it’s way #summeriscoming #equinesofinstagram #australia

13.01.2022 Wednesday Wonder Do you ever doubt yourself and wonder how you’ll be able to do all the things you need to do on your ‘to do list’ plus remain focused on what you need to do (as only you can do these things) vs what you think you should do (but someone else could really do on your behalf?) The skill of understanding the tasks you have and where they fall on the love /hate matrix plus high value vs low value tasks are so important in order to release those things that aren’t serving you and focus on the things that are in your genuine zone and are high value tasks. What can you delegate today to free you up to focus on your genius zone and your high value tasks? Happy Wednesday all #delegation #jugglingballs

12.01.2022 2020 A year like no other A message from the (virtual desk) of Director/Clinical Psychologist, Rachael Willis. As I sit down to write this piece and reflect on the past 9 months (since we shifted the practice 100% online and provided telehealth services plus online programs and webinars), two words come to mind. Perseverance and Passion If you told me all of things that I’d have to do in order keep our doors open and to keep the practice ticking along to serve the commu...nity plus also maintain peoples jobs and adjust to many changes (every day) while living through the shared trauma of a pandemic (alongside my clients), I could have easily decided to close the doors and walk away. However, I didn't walk away. I wasn't going to allow this invisible enemy to make that decision for my clients or for me. My passion for helping others and my perseverance emerged higher than ever and I saw this in the people I worked with. Day by day, week by week, we all became stronger. Sure there were moments when I felt like crying (and did cry), there were moments when I was scared and other moments when I so frustrated and angry with the whole situation. However, my passion and perseverance kept coming up ontop and for this I am grateful. It's been an absolute pleasure working with a range of people this year and working remotely via telehealth both from my office and even in the paddock. I can't wait to see people back in the office and paddock again in 2021 (as we will be taking a break from 20th Dec and back on deck end of Jan 2021). If you want to share your experiences of our services this year, then feel free to click on the survey below. In a year like no other, we've tried our best and so have you. Yours in empowerment, Rachael https://s.surveyplanet.com/I5YVI5nwA

12.01.2022 Tuesdays are choose days In a world that challenges us in many ways, its powerful and liberating when we realise that we have the power to choose how we respond or how we behave.

10.01.2022 Empowering 90 odd people this morning via ZOOM this morning as a guest speaker at the Network Of Youth Services (NOYS) meeting hosted by @Goulburn Murray Local and Learning Network (GMLLEN) #copingskills #kickcovid19out #selfcareisforeveryone

10.01.2022 Attending and healing yourself, often involves being aware of the parts inside you that may be helping or hindering you. Just like these wooden dolls, we could think of ourself as the outer adult self (large doll) with many inner childlike and adult or parent like parts. The adult self needs to find a healthy way to attend to these parts and promote the healthy adult and healthy child. #healthyadult #innerchild

10.01.2022 Fabulous Fridays Are you looking ahead with optimism for the remainder of the year ahead or are you stuck in a state of frustration thinking that 2020 has been a wasted year? I want you to reflect on the year and have a think What has 2020 taught you so far? What skills have you learnt to survive? What are you now more grateful for? What connections have you made via digital means? Look forward with opportunity and backwards with gratitude I promise you, this year has not been wasted. #theyearthatwas2020 #wednesdaywonder #gratitudeattitude

07.01.2022 Wednesday wonder Here’s some static photos from a video I filmed live from the paddock (back in April 2020) to promote our very first virtual 6 week equine assisted learning programs during COVID-19 . It made me think about how you manage interruptions in your life or daily plans? The sheep was very persistent on being part of the video and rather than stop filming , I embraced the interruption and used my sense of humour and distractions to help continue on. What do you do if things in you life don’t go to plan? #embracechange #distraction #sheepwantsthelimelight

Shout out to the team The Eye Shop in Wyndham Street Shepparton (Ashley the optometrist and his wife Vanessa) who have looked after my eyes and eyewear for the past 9 years.

Then really listen to their reply (verbal and non verbal language). Offer support. Take care #ruokday
