🙏🏼 incorporating gratitude 🙏🏼

Having an attitude of gratitude really can change the way that we feel! 💖

I personally incorporate gratitude into my daily practice both at the beginning and the end of the day. I find that this helps me to maintain perspective (especially on challenging days) and it also creates some predictability to the beginning and end of the day, which I feel is good for developing a positive mindset over time. 

What are you grateful for today? 🧿

❤️Timeline tool❤️

A time line tool is a great way to create some perspective! It can shift us into a more empowered state as it gets us to focus on our strengths. Over time, by reflecting in this way, we can continue to build on our levels of resilience. 

Remember you are more than what your negative thoughts might want you to believe!

🌲 The worry tree 🌳 
(adapted from Butler and Hope, 1995)

It’s easy to get stuck in worry, especially when we feel stressed, on edge or out of control. This can impact the way that we feel, think and react to ourselves, other people and situations. 

Using a tool like a worry tree can help you feel more in control of the worry and any practical solutions you might need. 

It’s a great way to start to move from problem to solution! 

❤️

💕Tips for talking to someone about mental health 💕

It might not always be easy to speak to someone about mental health, but here are some tips that might help to make the process easier: 

1. Make conversations about mental health a normal part of life. Anywhere is a good place to talk; in the car, walking the dog or cooking together. Model everyday talk about feelings such as by talking about a TV character’s feelings. 

2. Give your full attention: We all know it’s horrible to be half listened to. Keep eye contact, focus on the person who is speaking and ignore distractions. 

3. Check your body language: Try to keep it open and relaxed and make sure your body language is relaxed and calm. 

4. Take it seriously: Don’t downplay what the person is saying or tell them they’re “just being silly”. Resist the urge to reassure them that everything is fine. 

5. Ask open questions: Such as “How did your day go today?” This will help to extend the conversation. 

6. Calmly stay with the feelings that arise: It can be our automatic reaction to steer away from difficult emotions. 

7. Offer empathy rather than solutions:  Show that you accept what they are telling you but don’t try to solve the problem 

8. Remember we are all different: Respect and value the person’s feelings, even though they may be different to yours. 

9. Look for clues about feelings: Listen to the person’s words, tone of voice and body language. 

10. Some ways to start a conversation about feelings might be: “How are you feeling at the moment?” “You don’t seem your usual self. Do you want to talk about it?” “Do you fancy a chat?” “I’m happy to listen if you need a chat.”

Posted @withregram • @happyspaceuk Amazing conversation with @dr.rina.bajaj, @happyspaceuk and @wearebey0nd tonight! @dr.rina.bajaj is a counselling psychologist and broke down *so* many therapy myths and terms for us tonight.. wonder what ‘humanistic’, ‘psychoanalytic’ or ‘psychodynamic’ therapy looks like? Have a watch! 

‘If you think about the world that we live in, we’re constantly bombarded with images and judgments, we’re constantly told what’s validated, but what therapy can do…is to help us start to live more inside out rather than outside in, so you, at your core, learn to validate yourself regardless…and become less reactive to the outside world’. @dr.rina.bajaj 👏👏👏

❤️Mental health as a spectrum❤️

This diagram has been adapted from the Centre for Mental Health. It is a great reminder that our mental health fluctuates and changes 🧠

This is what you may consider: 
💕Healthy: enjoying mostly good mental health. 

💕Coping: facing significant risks to mental health but not currently in difficulty. This may include people coping with loss or bereavement, financial difficulty, or relationship problems. 

💕Struggling: dealing with major life challenges and at high risk of becoming unwell. This might include having experienced a major trauma or ongoing high levels of adversity. 

💕Unwell: experiencing poor mental health, such as being given a diagnosis of mental illness that is currently causing significant distress and impairment. It is, however, possible for a person living with a mental health diagnosis to be at any point on the spectrum. 

We can use this tool to help us to reflect on how we are feeling and coping and what we might need ❤️
