24.01.2022 Good morning. Have an awesome day and try to be kind. Believe it or not most people are going through something.

24.01.2022 Missed you all this morning but back on track next week with a few changes. I will keep you posted. In the meantime here are some ideas on how to look after your Mental Health.... Have a great Monday.

23.01.2022 GETS: Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions. The Rain scared a few people away this morning. It was a lovely cool morning for our GETS session.... 3km walk today and an SOS meditation to finish off the session and start the week with the right Mindset We will be continuing with these sessions right up through and until 21st December. If you haven't had a chance to join us yet, well you are very welcome. #getsgroupexercisetherapysessions #rediscoveryouchallenge

23.01.2022 It's National "Are You Okay Day"? Firstly. What about YOU?... Are you Okay.? You can check the signs like the picture below: Are you sleeping okay? Is your appetite okay? Are you still interested in your activties? Are you withdrawing from people and things you like to do? Are you feeling tired all the time? Does nothing in life give you pleasure at the moment? These may all be signs that YOU are not okay. What to do if you feel like this? There is a number of things that you can do. You can call a friend and chat to them. You can call LifeLine or BeyondBlue or Mensline or one of the many other online free counselling services. You can schedule in regular walking or exercise routine. You can join a new group of like minded people. See your Doctor and discuss a referral to a psychologist. You are not Alone. Yes it is Are You Okay Day. Check in with you first. Then check in with a friend.

22.01.2022 Yesterday's GETS group. Two groups. Two walks.... An accumulation of 5km walking. Monday Meditation bought to us by "Smiling Minds." If you are looking for FREE evidence based techniques and a daily program to destress then download the Smiling Mind App. It will make your mind smile. #GETSGroupExerciseTherapySessions

21.01.2022 Great news for Mental Health as the Government recognise the need for further sessions to be funded for all Australians and recognise the role psychologists play in helping Australians achieve Better Mental Health Outcomes.

20.01.2022 Thursday Thought. Funny but True. I hope you are all having a lovely day.... See you all Monday Week.

20.01.2022 GETS today. Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions. What a way to start the week.... For those of you who do not know I am a registered psychologist with a Master's Degree in Health Psychology. As a way of initiating and encouraging both exercise and meditation into the community I run a program called GETS. Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions. These are held every Monday morning at 9:30am and 10:15am at Len Fox Park. Today the first group walked 2.86km. Second group walked 2.53km Those that walked twice walked 5.19km Our mindfulness session reviewed the sleeping techniques that were discussed last week and we tweaked some of those strategies for individuals. Then we discussed Gratitude and the effectiveness of being and focussing on Gratitude. We listened to a 5 min meditation on being Grateful and how to incorporate this into our lives on a regular daily basis. Thank you to everyone who came. Awesome start to the Week.

17.01.2022 Young or not so Young. Fit and not so Fit. Male or Female.... Social or not Social. There is no criteria. However if you are struggling with motivation, pain, anxiety, depression or even socially isolated. Then we are the Group for You. There are no expectations. We walk. At your pace. We talk. Or not And we finish off with a Mindfulness/Meditation Activity to set you up right for the week ahead. If you have been thinking about joining us then come and join us. If you are unsure then give me a call and I will meet you first and introduce myself. All Welcome. Monday Morning 9:30am Len Fox Park You will find us at the stone seating with the sails. GETS. Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions.

17.01.2022 Looking for some inspiration? Feel like you don't quite fit in? Have a passion or an interest and too scared what others think?... I encourage you to take a look at this video. Give it 5 minutes and it will touch and hopefully inspire you. https://www.facebook.com/JordanMatterPhotography/videos/355594212169058/

16.01.2022 Our Thinking influences our mood and influences our Actions. There are ways we can learn to "Reframe Our Thinking." Most psychologist work within a CBT Framework helping to develop the skills of being aware and then changing the way we percieve things.... There are also a few free online courses that are accessible for learning CBT. If you want to know more then check out www.BeyondBlue or the website "Thiswayup" Let me know if you have any questions. And here is CBT explained: Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues, including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies. These strategies are designed to bring about immediate positive changes in your quality of life. CBT can be good for anyone who needs support to challenge unhelpful thoughts that are preventing them from reaching their goals or living the life they want to live. CBT aims to show you how your thinking affects your mood. It teaches you to think in a less negative way about yourself and your life. It is based on the understanding that thinking negatively is a habit that, like any other habit, can be broken.

16.01.2022 Posing it up for the GETS group this morning. A Walk. A meditation And... A coffee or a juice. Time outside working on our bodies and our minds. Both exercise and meditation are proven techniques in the management of Anxiety and Depression. If you are looking for a group of non judgemental people to do a little bit of exercise with and a lot of laughter then we would love to have you join us. #getsgroupexercisetherapysessions

15.01.2022 Monday Wonderful Monday. I absolutely love kicking off my week with you guys and gals. The walk, The Talk, The Meditation.... The Pelicans. The water. The Breeze. Sharing and Caring. Laughing and sharing. We have it all in this group and it truly inspires me every Monday to kick of the week in the best possible way. Thank you all for the best start to the week

14.01.2022 Thankful Thursday. What are you grateful for today?

11.01.2022 Christmas is not always Merry for Every One. 2020 has been especially hard on many families. I wanted to share some of these Community Facebook Group which are here to help and assist those of you in need.... Each one of these organizations offer different kinds of help. The advice I would offer if you are struggling financially is to contact these organizations either through facebook or google the contact numbers and call them. Please do not allow pride to stand in your way. If you need food for your family, or fuel or other essentials these people can help you. You do not have to suffer in silence.

And a special thanks to Nick Fox Lewis our PT who without him this group would not be possible. #GETSGroupExerciseTherapySessions

08.01.2022 Tuesday Truth . Remember this: And remember what you are capable of, the obstacles you have overcome, the children you have raised, the work you have done, the people you have helped.... Remember: You are capable

07.01.2022 I know how much we all enjoy Monday Mornings and our GETS group. So many variables that contribute to that enjoyment are included on this list. While Monday's are an awesome and invigorating way to begin our week it is also important to carry this over into the rest of the week.... Try to take the opportunity to get outside and clear your mind Take in the scents of nature Collect some feathers Listen to the birds Find shapes in the cloud Collect rocks that you are drawn too (permitted areas) These are all mindfulness activties that allow those moments of separateness from the hustle and bustle of life. Enjoy your Wednesday #getsgroupexercisetherapysessions

07.01.2022 Hey. How you all doing? I have missed our GETS groups for last two weeks due to holidays and public holiday.... I do hope you are all doing well and here is a little challenge or motivation for you for the rest of October. Let's see if you can try and tick one of these off each day. Comment in the comments and let me know what you do and how it works out for you.

05.01.2022 Our last session for 2020. Thank you to each and every one of you for your participation in our Group Exercise and Therapy Program. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of you and your company every Monday Morning.... Special award to Doug who has not skipped a session. Special thanks to Nick Fox Lewis for his PT experience, calm and reliable nature. And to all of you again. Thank you. A blessed and Merry Christmas to each of you.

04.01.2022 Great start to the week with these awesome people. Fresh air, sunlight, exercise and friendships. Birds, dogs, cyclists, kiddies and couples. ... This morning on the walk we had it all . Smiles and laughter and meditation. The meditation today was focussed on listening. An interesting combination of sounds that are designed to keep you focussed on the waves of the music, tuning into each different tempo as you also focus on breathing, in an attempt to forget about yesterday, stop worrying about tomorrow and focus simply on the NOW. I found this one a little difficult today with so many things running constantly through my head. All that tells me is I need to practice meditation more mindfully every day. Thank you to all who came today.

04.01.2022 Hi everyone With the new lockdown in greater Brisbane I need to know how many of you have been in that area since March 20. If you have been in any area of the picture above since March 20 we ask you please not to attend your appointment and please call or text me so we can arrange video or phone appointment as per government announcement.

02.01.2022 Good Morning. A beautiful way to start the day with a slow but steady 5km around the lake. Whatever it is you are doing today I hope you do it with a smile on your face and a skip in your step.... Happy Tuesday

02.01.2022 Absolutely Awesome Turn Out at GETS this Morning. Thank you to all you awesome souls for coming out and enjoying the Morning. Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions.... All Welcome See you all next week

02.01.2022 Motivational Monday When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love... Marcus Aurelius

01.01.2022 Monday Morning GETS Group. Group Exercise and Therapy Sessions. 2:60km for first group and 1.73km for second group.... Well done Guys. Today we focussed on Sleep Hygiene. The group shared what strategies they use and have found effective for early awakening, difficulty falling asleep and intermittent awakening. I also shared several evidence based research techniques for assisting with these sleeping problems. Including: Routine. Routine is important. So establish yourself a bed time routine Try to go to bed at the same time every night Try to wake up at the same time every morning. No matter how tired you are do not sleep during the day. Reserve your bedroom for sex, reading and sleeping. Avoid watching TV in your room. Limit coffee and coke and tea as much as possible and especially 4 hours before bedtime. If you cannot sleep after 1/2 an hour then Get Up and have a warm milk or glass of water. Play a meditation and go back to bed. When you go to bed change your language to yourself. What I mean by this is, take the pressure off yourself. Tell yourself, it's okay if I cannot go to sleep. If I cannot go to sleep in 1/2 an hour then I will get up. By taking the pressure of yourself and changing your language then you will be able to relax more. Happy Sleeping And thank you everyone who turned up for GETS this morning. I know I absolutely love this start to my week.
