25.01.2022 Yes. Yes. Yes. Medicare sessions to double for all Australians (from 10 to 20 per year)!

24.01.2022 FRANK LOVES LOVE Frank has a very strong value of LOVE. One way he likes to act out this value is to come running with me. Frank has dislocated his leg which means NO RUNNING . Totally sucks to be Frank right now .... So Frank acts out his love value in other ways - like desalinising my face, post run. If there’s a value you’re finding hard to enact in your preferred way, think a little more broadly and fill your cup with another ‘same-value-based’ action. For example, a value of FAMILY might lead you to want children but if that’s something you cannot have, maybe you spend extra time with your nieces and nephews . A value of TRAVEL is forced to look a little different to what most of us would like right now. Overseas is out . Some interstate is out . So we travel local and have micro adventures instead. Be creative with how your values look to you, when you can’t quite DO your ideal action. That’s the beauty of values - they can take many forms and still represent the same thing .

22.01.2022 Perfect weather calls for drowned rats! Countdown to Summer is ON!!!

20.01.2022 THALASSOPHILE (noun) lover of the sea . Ocean dips are one of my non-negotiables for optimal physical and mental health - winter or summer - there is no feeling like diving beneath the waves . Even on a ‘windy AF day’ like today, the whole ‘crumbed sausage’ effect was worth it .

20.01.2022 CONSISTENCY Another run, another salt lick . They says consistency in exercise is important. Frank agrees . It’s also important for our mental health. Think about how you’re training your brain each day. How are you relating to the stuff in your mind? How are you relating to the feelings in your body? ... Aim to move your body everyday . Aim to practice observing thoughts and feelings everyday, rather than being reactive to them. Intensity and type of exercise may vary , but make MOVEMENT a consistent part of your day. Thoughts and feelings will vary, but make NOTICING them a consistent part of your day. Your body, mood and mental health will thank you .

17.01.2022 YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS Want to create some distance between you and your problems???? You could try hiding from your family, in the walls of your house . Maybe knee cap that over bearing boss and sprint out the office door? Perhaps eat some weird smelling mushrooms from your back yard, then levitate into space? All possibilities - none of them particularly good and some of them a little dark to be honest (watching too many indy films maybe, Tam? ). Befor...e you cross to the dark side, experiment with 2 weeks of daily ‘Observing Thoughts’ meditation - 5-20 minute sittings (work up to 20 if you’re new to meditation). It’s a daily reminder that you are not the words and images in your mind. It teaches us to notice the space between us and mind stuff and gives us the option of engaging with it or not. Remember most stress occurs in thinking about past or possible future... it’s rare that it’s actually happening in this, the present moment. So stress is predominantly in our thoughts. We can learn to distance from it when it’s not helpful. See more

16.01.2022 IMA DICK But I’m a dick with an important message!!!! Anxiety feeds off subtle ways of avoiding uncertainty, like SEEKING REASSURANCE from others. I’m not talking about the ‘every now and again’ checking in with someone about how the dinner you made tasted or getting some co-regulation going with your partner when they say ‘it’s going to be okay’ after a shit storm of a day. I mean the persistent, excessive, ‘can’t-make-a-decision-without-input’/ ‘cant-be-ok-unl...ess-you-tell-me-I-am’ kind of reassurance seeking. The kind that never allows us to simply NOT KNOW a possible outcome (such as how things might turn out or what someone thinks of us). If this sounds like you, I challenge you to sit with various uncertainties - challenge yourself NOT to seek reassurance. And for all those support people out there, challenge yourself not to give it... try I don’t know what will happen but we can deal with it togetheror you don’t need my okay to make it okay or I know you’re wanting me to reassure you right now but we know that makes your anxiety bigger long term, so I’m not going to do that . Learn to tolerate not knowing. It takes practice. So practice . Don’t let that sneaky little fucker - anxiety - get any bigger .

14.01.2022 MY FACE When over opinionated judgy fucks assume they can give commentary on my life choices. The next time this happens to you try these: Judgy Fuck : you need to lose weight/ gain weight/ do something with your hair/ get a stylist/ wear makeup/ don’t wear so much make up, etc. Grown-ass you who needs no one’s approval or permission to be you : Why is it important to you that I look a certain way? JF: You’re on holidays AGAIN, seriously?? Grown-ass you: Why... is it important to you that I work more? JF: Still single I see. Grown-ass you: Why is it important to you that I‘m in a relationship? . . Alternative responses to unsolicited comments on your life include - I’m sorry, how exactly does this effect you?, Do you think about me a lot? You seem a little obsessed with me. Boundaries are bloody brilliant. Sometimes you can be subtle, other times you need a sledgehammer . Either way, they help teach others how to treat you! Teach wisely .

10.01.2022 THE KNOB KNOWS He may be a knob but Dave knows how to live in the present moment. Be like Dave. Train your attention, build your brain , ground in your five senses to what’s happening right now and improve your mental health. Bring curiosity to an activity of daily living (something you do everyday). It could be brushing your teeth , those first few bites of dinner, drinking your morning cuppa or finding a dripping tap and playing with it as if it were your FIRST EVER dripping tap. Just like Knob .

08.01.2022 My Dad My role model on so many levels . Today, it’s Environmentalist Dad . Dad planted these trees at Wahpunga when he was Principal of the school there. The school no longer exists. But these trees do . Be like my Dad. Plant trees that beings will benefit from 50 plus years later . ... Values. They matter. They last the test of time. Act them out. That’s your legacy. That’s what truly matters.

07.01.2022 UNINVITED THOUGHTS The next time your mind decides to give an uninvited screening of the movie titled Shit I Can Do Nothing About, try these: make up a silly song about the issue ; put the words of the thought to the tune of ‘happy birthday’ ; or create a dramatic news headline/story - woman found drowning in cat shit - because no one thought she was interesting/funny/friendly enough to invite to parties, so she never left home again and kept adopting stray cats. Seriously - try one RIGHT NOW!!! What did you notice about your relationship with the thoughts (aka the words and images your mind presents to you)?

05.01.2022 PLAN SHMAN This was to be a 5km. Then I chose the 12 km loop .... Last minute diversion to the 14km . What the hell - add another few kms . I guess plans don’t always equate to imagined outcomes... and that’s ok . Well it’s ok by ME . My ass and legs are screaming to the contrary right now .

05.01.2022 GIRLFRIENDS Fucking love ‘em.

04.01.2022 FLOAT Change can be gradual. Other times it’s a sudden BANG - a tsunami of mind fuckery and painful emotions that sweep you out to sea in a single moment. And then we spend however long it takes trying to swim our way back to shore . Maybe not the same shore we left from. Maybe a new shore. One that’s more aligned with who we truly want to be. ... Maybe you’re out at sea right now. Learn to float. If you struggle constantly to swim you’ll only tire and drown. Take breaks from ‘doing the work’ . Marvel at nature while you’re out there. Make friends with a dolphin . The tide will eventually help to bring you back. Just don’t settle for the first island you come across - it’ll be populated with all those who DID ‘just settle’ and they’re not your people . You may have to swim and float a little longer to find the right shore. But that’s ok - you can do that .

03.01.2022 AGEING You’re how old? Don’t worry, you don’t look it. Why thank you!!! Hang on... WTF?!? How about we stop using anti ageing comments as compliments. I’m starting my 45th lap around the sun and I DO look THAT OLD - because I AM THAT OLD. I’m not a fucking vampire . ... This is me at THAT AGE. I’m not in competition with others THAT AGE - I don’t look better or worse. We all look different at the same age because we ARE all different and unique. Thank fuck . So let’s stop the comparisons and the whole ‘youth is preferred’/ ‘it’s not okay to get older and it’s definitely not okay to LOOK older’/ ‘we should all aim to defy our actual age’/ ‘ageing is a preventable disease’ kinda bullshit. UGH - booooooorrring . You are the ONLY ONE your age who looks like YOU at YOUR age . Isn’t that a fucking wonderful part of being human?!?!? Yes. Yes it is.

01.01.2022 Quinn Heartbreak is inevitable . Any investment in another being is going to involve grief at some point . So I choose to lean in to this little love fest and all the wonderful and difficult feels she brings with her .
