23.01.2022 Want the love you have for someone reciprocated? Let them be free to love you. Let them be free to be their own person, have their own values, have their own interests, live their own life - and let them feel free to include you in it. If the people you want in your life are there because they feel guilted, obligated or manipulated, they wont be there forever. The best, healthiest and most loving relationships are those that are based on mutual freedom, love and respect. ... The author of love - God - gave us the first and ultimate example of this. He created us and loved us, yet he gave us the will to reject Him if we choose. He knew there was no love worth having unless it was freely given, in a willing act of engagement. Allow your loved ones the freedom to leave you/your expectations and make a life of their own. Be the person who loves so unconditionally, that they will always want to be near to you. Not because they feel controlled, manipulated, obligated or guilty. But because they feel free.

23.01.2022 I had a number of appointments today with #aasw #professional #socialworkers to provide professional supervision and accountability to their practice. Professional meetings are enhanced when your coffee and coke look this pretty Social workers need a university degree which is a 4 year minimum of full time study. Social workers are qualified to register with our governing body the Australian Association of Social Workers and bring to the industry skills in holistic assessm...ent, analysis and evaluation. Social work is founded in values of respect for persons, empowerment, social justice and integrity. Social workers care about ethical practice and ethical outcomes for clients. Social workers have skills in the individual space of #emotionwork #mentalhealth #addictions and #relationship therapy to name a few. Social workers bring skills and passion to the broader political space working for #fairness and #justice in organisational and government policy. Social Workers graduate with many skills they can then go on to hone and refine throughout their careers. Employ a registered Social worker today and discover the gamut of skills they bring to you. Please stop calling yourself a #socialworker if you have not completed at minimum a 4 year degree. #professionalintegrity

23.01.2022 We use today to raise awareness, but the point is everyday you can be looking out and asking are you ok? Or a genuine Hey, how are you going? Sometimes we dont ask because we are too scared of what we might hear. But dont feel that you have to have the answers or be able to fix it. Listening and genuine care is truly powerful. If you have a friend who shares they are struggling, the only pressure on you is to encourage them to seek help from a health professiona...l. There are a gamut of resources online, or with their GP or local community health service. You can do it! Ask the people around you if theyre ok #ruok #mentalhealth #listen #care

22.01.2022 Just joking ofcourse! You can know, do and practice a couple of things: 1. Know that emotions can be uncomfortable but they cant actually hurt you. 2. Sit with the emotion and observe it. Name it. 3. Tell someone you trust what it is you have been feeling. ... 4. Consider whether there is an underlying cause for the emotion. Have the courage to acknowledge it and seek help to address it if need be. These strategies are simple but they take courage. It can be painful acknowledging underlying issues or negative experiences that are impacting you. But by doing so you will experience future freedom from the pain AND an ability to have control of/manage your emotional responses rather than pushing them down until they overwhelm you. #havecourage #simplicity #emotionalintelligence #eq #overwhelm #strategies #health #emotionalhealth #wellbalance

21.01.2022 Standing up for what I believe in sometimes gets me in trouble or means I’m not liked. Having an opinion will not always win you popularity. But knowing what you stand for and sticking to that gives you something very important - integrity. Integrity matters to me. People may not always like me, but they can trust my word, and to me that is more important. Have courage to stand up for what you believe in. ...

19.01.2022 Well since you insist, I must! I am enjoying an amazing family holiday with my husband and boys....daughter will join us next week once exams are finished. Im going slow on the insta, as you all know Im always banging on about the importance of connecting with your people and enjoying the moment with them. That means Im hardly on my phone, instead have been spending hours in the ocean or pool wrestling and laughing with my family. We have not laughed like this for ages -... I think life gets too busy and hectic. Time out to reconnect is absolutely priceless. Family holidays dont have to be expensive (although this one has been ), but no matter how much money it costs, or where the destination, the memories and time together are priceless and worth every last cent. If I find some time Ill post again, if not, Ill connect with you again in the chaos of life and work when I return. Kristy xx P.S. Put Vietnam on your travel bucket list. It is WONDERFUL #vietnam #hoian #lanterns #beach #holiday #connection #family #priorities #love #balance #wellbalance

16.01.2022 Morning! I do still exist. And I do get to sit in this chair and write....only it is a lot more occasionally than previous. I have been so busy in the business my time to run the business is going by the wayside. Thankyou to many wonderful and interesting clients for investing in my work. Writing a blog has been down the list of priorities after work, then very important - holidays! Ill prioritise time to write a blog..... soon #worklife #business #clients #wellbalance

Onwards and upwards now and I will be seeing you soon! To my number one supporters at @warramunda Thankyou for the beautiful gift and well wishes. I appreciate it, and my ongoing relationship with you, so much. ... Thankyou @little_cookie_creations for your talent - this is the BEST get well gift #smallbusiness #community #support #generosity #ittakesavillage

15.01.2022 Something that came up recently in a discussion with teenagers #savethemfrompain #ifonlytheylisten

13.01.2022 Lets use this time to think about ways we can care about each other. #humanity #community #responsibility #care

12.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. A day to remind us to remember to think of others everyday. To remind us to take notice if we see changes in others and ask them about it. A day to remind us to ask others how they are and to take the time to listen. Dont be afraid if they say no. Its not your job to fix it. You only need listen and provide care/support, then direct them toward a professional if need be. We all can do this everyday. But today is the day to remind ourselves to be i...n the habit!

12.01.2022 Bravado: An act, a mask, a macho show of fake boldness. Whats in a word? My answer is A LOT. The words we use teach our kids and others a lot about who we are and what we think. To be brave is to mask true feelings and pretend that we are tough in order to survive a situation, impress others, or maybe even to intimidate others. I prefer to teach my kids and talk about being courageous. ... Courage is a word and act that acknowledges feelings of fear/vulnerability, yet recognises the need/responsibility to forge ahead despite the fear. Now that is true strength and boldness. Its also valuing authenticity over pretense. Thanks to my 2nd year #socialwork students @latrobeuni for the robust discussion about this exact word, and prompting this post. Love Kristy xx #authenticity #courage #intention #words #meaning #wellbalance #emotionalintelligence

12.01.2022 There is no secret trick to building resilience in our children, workforce or ourselves. Resilience comes from drawing on a knowledge that I will be ok despite this. That knowledge that I will be ok has to come from past experience or intentional teaching. Instil a solid foundation of belief that the future will not always go to plan but can be worked out accordingly, and you will reap resilience in times of struggle. Needless to say this foundation of belief will also improve mental health outcomes for you or your family/workforce/tribe.

12.01.2022 Happy world Social work day! #professional #socialwork #network

11.01.2022 Self sacrifice. #true love. Lest we forget. #anzac

10.01.2022 Have you ever said you run like a girl or you throw like a girl or you cry like a girl? All of these common sayings are rooted in an underlying narrative that it is somehow bad or less to be a girl. This is just one small way its so common to ascribe to the patriarchy and continue the narrative without even realising it. There are so many conversations happening about violence against women. But this problem is bigger than men. Its not about hating men. Or even h...ating certain individuals. Its about recognising the system/ideology that allows some people to believe they have the right to control another person, or that people who are #different to them have less human value or rights. I hate injustice in all its forms. We are all human and on that basis alone deserve #humanrights equal with the next person, no matter our different #gender #race or #culture. Recognise and name the systemic problem, rather than blame the secondary outcomes of that primary problem. Get self aware. Get intentional. Change the narrative. Kristy xo #violenceagainstwomen #domesticviolence #systemicinjustice #humanrights #humanworth #dignity #emotionalintelligence #wellbalance

10.01.2022 Lots of people arent happy or dont experience contentment because they arent living intentionally. You can only live intentionally when you have self awareness! Have you ever taken time to clarify and question your own beliefs, values and assumptions? What is it that is critically important to you? What is it that gives your life purpose and meaning? Get clarity on what that is. Then live it out every day. Sometimes we let ourselves down and compromise our values - we are... human! - but it makes us feel inwardly crappy. If youve identified what your values are, when you fail to live by them, at least you can identify the reason for your ill-at-ease sense! Live intentionally.

10.01.2022 What a fun afternoon my first cohort of students graduated today with their Masters of Social Work degree. I felt somewhat proud and motherly toward them Being in the academic party was fun (and very serious ), these are the informal backstage pics. What great colleagues I have @lachlan_listens and @corina.modderman Congrats Masters of Social Work class of 2020 #socialwork #degree #latrobeuniversity

09.01.2022 Who can you check up on today? I challenge all of us, across the globe, every day to pick at least 3 people we can contact in a deliberate way to ask them how they are and if they need anything. Think of creative ways to make contact, that respect social distancing/isolation arrangements. Can you call? FaceTime? Zoom? Or have a driveway catchup if the weather and space permit? Follow up 3 people. While we are protecting the physical health of the globe and maintaining physical distance where we can, mental and social health will suffer. Keeping connected in other ways will help all of us to minimise the negative impacts of social distancing on our mental health. Lets care for ourselves and each other.

08.01.2022 Yes none of us are above time spent reflecting on our inner narrative, thoughts and feelings. And those of us who dont think we are above this process, are those who make life easier for themselves and the others they have personal or professional relationships with! #emotionalintelligence #eq #selfawareness #corebeliefs #values #congruence #identity #security #healthyrelationships #wellbalance

08.01.2022 This has been a recent topic of conversation - getting stressed about putting someone in the right category. If you throw out attempts to categorise areas of diversity, and just try to see the person in front of you as a person, as their own unique individual, calling them by their name and getting to know them from THEIR perspective is a fantastic start. Stop the stress. See, respect and get to know the individual for who they are. #diversity #categories #labels #individuals #dignity #respectforpersons #socialworkvalues #wellbalance

08.01.2022 Got my serious face on as I spoke to a group of women last night about what Im most passionate - identity and its impact on your mental health. Having a strong and clear identity means taking time to improve your self awareness and intentionally articulating; who you are, your ideology, your values and the legacy you want to LIVE INTO RIGHT NOW. Live and lean into your identity, find your value in WHO YOU ARE and also find inner congruence and mental health. Live and lea...n into the performance mentality of proving your worth through success - and find perpetual potential for disappointment, pain and struggle. You choose. Thanks Kylie @naturallyrestoredky for having me and arranging a great night. #identity #mentalhealth #selfworth #humanity #freedomfromslavery #emotionalintelligence #selfawareness #intentionalliving #wellbalance @ Naturally Restored

06.01.2022 Make the most of every opportunity. Be intentional about your interactions and relationships - especially when you have a fan club that is a child! They grow up so quickly and may not want to know you next month! This is a pic of a beautiful family friend of ours, the loving and loveable Phillipa. She thinks that Im an ok, but poor replacement for my daughter Ingrid, whom couldnt make it to our weekend catchup just gone! When you have someone who is willing to invest and gi...ve you time (and even put their name next to yours on the fridge ) be intentional about what you invest back and the seeds youd like to sew, you may not have another opportunity. Cherish your relationships. Upon reflection you may realise they are a whole lot more important than some of the other things you invest your time in. Thanks for the love Pip Kristy xoxo #relationships #intention #emotionalintelligence #happiness #investment #selfawareness #love #wellbalance

03.01.2022 This makes me happy. This was one of the first sights my bleary eyes saw this morning - late night cuppa-in-bed cups on my en-suite bench! To have a partner to share my life with gives me such deep joy. To be known and loved intimately - and unconditionally - gives me comfort and strength to face the world. My husband is my best friend and lover, it cant get better than that! But it hasnt always been like that. ... When we first got married 17 years ago (we are old ) we went through a steep learning and growth phase. For a few years I swear we nearly hated each other. Maybe not all relationships involve two people as firey as us! But I do know that once the honeymoon is over all relationships go through challenges and require growth, forgiveness and commitment when its hard. I am so grateful I have a husband who has been willing to forgive me much and work on building our intimacy - no matter how hard. Healthy, long lasting, authentic relationships are worth every ounce of effort you put in. And even unhealthy relationships can be turned around with the commitment of both parties. If you want help improving your relationship contact me. Im passionate about building healthy couples and families.

03.01.2022 Before you can stop listening to it you have to recognise its even there. Sometimes the desire to over compensate and prove your worth is strong. You could be tempted to believe its because of the people around you threatening you in some way. Maybe on the odd occasion that is valid. But in 99% of cases its your own insecurities telling you youre not good enough. Recognise them. Dont buy in to them. Stop listening to that inner voice. Get aware and intentional about ho...w you act and interact. Kristy xx #insecurity #selfworth #innervoice #selftalk #emotionalintelligence #selfawareness #wellbalance

02.01.2022 Other people take pictures of their beautiful homes or pretty products and audiences go nutso for the sale. Selling my product is harder because I have recently accepted that I am actually the product. I cant really replicate myself, and I therefore cant build a business that can be sold and run without me. And sometimes my product isnt even attractive because what I say is sometimes very challenging to people #worstbusinessstrategy101 !!! Nevertheless over the past 12 mo...nths I have come to terms and to peace with the way my business is structured. I am very busy and that tells me something good! So ultimately here I am. My product. This is me working in my usual spot - when Im not out visiting an organisation. No makeup. No filter. No photo effects. Just me promoting and empowering the world and my clients to be more wellbalanced in the way they think, perceive and behave. I can help you or your organisation with conflict management. I can provide training and education to your workforce about emotionally intelligent leadership or having challenging conversations. I can help you care for and consider your org. wellbeing from a variety of angles. And Im no longer afraid to say that I am skilled at what I do - I can empower people to do and achieve things they previously thought too hard! If you would like some help empowering your workforce from someone that has knowledge and a down to earth approach, you know where to find me.

02.01.2022 A need to feel safe with a secure future. Sometimes the key to meeting our unmet needs is to find healthy relationship with others. But we cannot find those healthy relationships until we have first recognised our own needs and given ourselves the acceptance, forgiveness and sense of worth we long for. We are all human in the end and caring for our mental health means asking ourselves the right questions to uncover the ways we need to nurture ourselves. ...

01.01.2022 Are you aware of the ways you marginalise and treat others? Your subtle thoughts and assumptions? We all make assumptions about people we perceive as different than us.....whether its due to their race, culture or some other identifying factor. Its part of our humanity to have these assumptions. Often they are subconscious core beliefs that form due to our life experiences - this happens for everyone and is nothing to be ashamed of. What is important however, is that we ...acknowledge we have these assumptions and take some time to be intentional and self aware as to identify what they are. Think of it like this: most people grow up with a set idea of the right way to do Christmas Day but actually we dont all agree!! Some of us assume its right to open the presents before lunch, some of us think thats a travesty and its right to open the presents Christmas Eve, not to mention a gamut of other traditions developed around Christmas that each of us grow up assuming is the right way. These assumptions about Christmas form due to our experiences of Christmas throughout our childhood years. It may not be until we marry into a family of in-laws that do things differently that our assumptions are challenged! Christmas assumptions are a menial example, compared to our assumptions about culture and race which aree far more emotive, sensitive and can have a far greater negative impact on others. If we never have reason to question them, it doesnt mean they arent there. Im guessing that if youre a person who says Im not racist or racism isnt a problem you are likely a white skinned person which means you are automatically in a position of privilege. Its not wrong to have assumptions. Its wrong to deny them in ignorance and not take the time to challenge them. Racism exists in every human heart. Its those who care to acknowledge it and work on challenging their assumptions that are making the world a better place. I have run out of room to type, but inbox or email me if you would like question prompts to help you uncover your assumptions.
