Start by writing down three things you are looking forward to and take it from there…
Optimistic October -
So what would you do?
Dog in water sink swim float A little gift from a former client which was very nice of them. It came with a little note stating that I had helped her stay afloat.
I think it’s not always clear cut on how we need to approach problems and indeed solutions as there may be a third way which is available if only we take the time to appreciate it.
She didn’t want to give up by sinking nor swim away but just staying afloat was enough to keep her head in the right place.
The note concluded with , “It’s been a pleasure”. My sentiments exactly.
So what would you do?

Breathing in the sun for natural growth
Sunshine herb garden Just breathing in the morning sun aside my herb garden. Watching them grow from seeds to now has given me an enormous sense of happiness and well-being.
A little bit of food and water, a touch of warmth and TLC can bring so many positive benefits.
Our self limiting beliefs and toxic environments may stunt our potential for growth but through choices and action this can change.
Therapy comes in many forms as does growth.
Seasons come and go. Don’t let another slip by.
Breath in the sun and watch how you to can grow.

Historically Present Future
As I write this I know I am physically present, typing away, my focus on the next word to magic itself onto the page and if my mind wanders, as it is free to do, I know that’s okay. I say that to myself and bring my thoughts back to the present by consciously focusing on my breath and squeezing my thumb and index finger together committing my mind to the conscious physical present.
Sure I know my thoughts mean me well, remnants of past failures and glories but I also know that: No cognitive thought-No emotional feeling- No physical behaviour can undo the outcome of a past event.
Also our future dreams and wishes are but that- dreams and wishes. Sure we need to plan for our future, I agree that is a good thing, but we plan in the present, setting goals that our present thoughts, feelings and behaviours can work together to make them become a reality.
Remember that regrets and guilt of the past and fear of the future only rob us of the present moment, which is the only time where we can truly influence and change ourselves and the environment around us.
So let us all stay present understanding our history and looking forward to our future.

…and that’s okay
I love this…now.
I was sceptical at first about this but you know in the therapy business and indeed in any walk of life you have to give things a go.
Give it a try and keep using it.
You, like me, might just surprise yourself.
