I have just finished listening to,
This Messy Magnificent Life 💜
It is the first self help book I have not been able to put down in a very long time. I found it to be like a bed time story being told to me by a wise elder, reintroducing me to myself.
I felt no judgement towards my up bringing, my thoughts, my feelings my choices, more of an introduction to them, a different more gentle view of my 42 years on this earth. A great read (well listen in my case) this will definitely be my go to for gentle reminders of what I might be missing or I may have forgotten. A soothing read to help you remember to be as kind to yourself as you would a lost sad child.
Thank you for the recommendation Ivana Sylvester Bradley 💜

What is your favourite thing to do?

💜I love learning!
💜I love learning about humans, how they think, feel and why they think and feel they way they do.
💜I struggle to read due to dyslexia so I listen to books and podcasts.
💜Some I can’t put down, some I dip in and out of, some can feel too much so I go back to them when I have a bit more time and some just aren’t me.
💜I thought I would share them on here, take what you want and ignore what’s not you.
💜Please only share positive feedback, as negative feedback could put someone off who could really do with the information that’s in the book or podcast.
🤗 Big Hugs 🤗

Do you measure your successes in all these areas? 🌺

Hi I’m Shelley 🙋‍♀️

With all the changes in our life styles over the last 9 months, these anxiety symptoms seem to be heightened for me and many others.

I have noticed at some points during this time, at least 2 or more of these symptoms are happening at the same time 😳😔🤯

What has helped me is to think K.I.S.S
Keep It Simple Shelley ☺️

Whilst looking for ideas for my counselling clients I noticed I was becoming more drawn towards what is suggested for children with anxiety,
🌟colouring
🌟puzzles 🧩
🌟fresh air

As an adult, when I have felt overwhelmed with anxiety I want to:
🔨fix
🔨control
🔨change
🔨run away 🏃🏼‍♀️
As we all know these aren’t possible right now.

Unless you are in an unsafe environment where leaving is the safest option for you.

I have found that by doing more child orientated activities, my mind has become calmer, which gives me room to
✨relax
✨accept
✨be
✨breath

What have you found that has worked for you?☺️
