21.01.2022 For me personally (Katie ) Affirmations have been a game changer for my mental health. Self affirmations were first popularized a century ago, and are still a staple of self-help. But do they work? Yes, yes, they can. Long story short, people base their feelings about themselves on real evidence from their lives, - a self-affirmation can backfire if it feels like you are lying to yourself. Identifying what you really believe are your core strengths and habitually remindi...ng yourself of them can be a great way to boost a positive intention and feeling. Researchers discovered that youre more likely to believe positive self-affirmations, if they are easily true to you, and if you incorporate your core values. So when youre feeling impelled to watch TV instead of getting on with writing your novel, saying aloud (or in your head), Determination is important to me! can boost your will power. But only if determination really is important to you.* So yes, affirmations can work, and make amazing differences in peoples lives, but it is best done when youre in a good headspace, and when what youre saying is honest and true to your values.

21.01.2022 Heres the question I ask myself that helps me to immediately pause my negative thought spiral when I get caught in one: Is this way of thinking helpful? The an...swer is always no. Every single time. Its amazing how simple yet powerful this question is. Once I realize that indulging my negative thoughts isnt helpful, I can make a choice to shift. Its not always easy, but its absolutely possible. Warmly, Nataly Nataly Kogan - Happier

20.01.2022 Morning anxiety? Try one of these. #walkntalkforlife #mentalhealthsupport

20.01.2022 Thank you to those who came in the cold today. It was so nice meeting you all! Keep an eye out on this page to see when the next walk will be. Until then look out for those around you, make sure they are doing okay and if you need to talk dont be afraid to reach out.

20.01.2022 Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal. ~Vironika Tugaleva Dont numb or avoid your pain. Feel it. Its going to hurt. But every moment youre hurting, youre healing. The only way out is through. Feel it. Its going to hurt. But every moment youre sobbing, youre doing the work. Every moment youre hurting, youre healing. The only way out is through.... Once we accept that we are doing work, we can silence our internal critic that believes that feeling pain means were doing something wrong. Instead, we begin to understand that feeling our pain is important and productive. The next time you are hurting, uncomfortable, or lonely, feel your pain. Feel as much of it as you can bear. Your pain is a necessary step on your journey towards healing. And remember: You are doing your best. You are healing at exactly the right pace. You are doing work. Your work has meaning. It can serve a purpose. It can serve you. Thanks to Tiny Buddha for todays helpful resource. #walkntalkforlife #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthaustralia #mentalwellness #suicideprevention

19.01.2022 We are all different, and self-care is different for each of us. But different types of self-care can work at different times for you. Dont confine your idea o...f self-care- Define what self-care is for you in different scenarios. E.g. What self-care do you need if you are stressed? What self-care do you need when you are tired or sad? Self-care will look different for you when youre well than when youre struggling, so it makes sense during Covid we may need to try new techniques.

08.01.2022 Its hard not to feel stressed, anxious, or depressed in a pandemic, isnt it? But in difficult times like these, its essential to do all you can to reduce stress. Why? Because chronic stress combined with feelings of isolation and loneliness can alter the function and structure of the brain, and lead to anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

05.01.2022 Managing her two children, setting up a new business, learning additional skills, and keeping up with her mortgage repayments, was proving too much. We have all... experienced similar times in our lives, and burnout is real. Irritability, drinking to feel better, trouble sleeping, headaches, and a lack of energy are all early signs that you are heading towards a meltdown (Salvagioni et al., 2017). The Mayo Clinic describes burnout as physical and mental exhaustion, often associated with a loss of identity and the sense that we are not accomplishing anything. So, how do you stop? How do you take care of yourself? In this article, we explore a wellness tool that helps you regain control and focus on your busy life. The Self-Care wheel is a positive psychology tool for supporting a balanced life while maximizing potential.

03.01.2022 Take a minute to thank them for what their impact in your life.

02.01.2022 Rather than living a problem-free life (quite impossible if youre a human being), emotional health means that one can bounce back from setbacks and thrive despite problems.

02.01.2022 Hi friends, There is a Magnolia tree by my front door in full bloom right now. It is one of my favorite things about winter here in Australia. Every time I go o...ut my door, its the first thing I see. Not only is it a beautiful tree, but its nature teaches me a valuable and timely lesson too. Sometimes the most beautiful things bloom in the depths of winter when you would least expect it. Like the beautiful flowers of the magnolia, we too often begin to blossom with new possibilities, new insights and greater awareness in the midst of the winters of our lives - the challenging times, the uncertain times, the times when we suffer or feel lost. How to flower with insight in the winters of our lives Suffering and challenge, although painful are also often transformative. These times make us question things, they shake us up and often wake us up but its often a very delicate time too so if we want to be able to flower with new insights, wisdom and personal growth instead of withering in the face of hardship, we need to meet our suffering with self compassion, awareness, gentleness and courage. The most important habit to come through stronger Probably the most important thing we can do to stay strong during these hard times is to keep caring for ourselves, and thereby galvanising our inner strength, by doing the things that nourish us. Keep taking care of your body and mind, keep connecting with loved ones, keep meditating and doing things you love where possible. If you can do that you can trust that in time you will bloom with new levels of awareness, wisdom and inner strength. Wishing you strength and ease in the days to come.
