How are you, is a standard greeting of many. Some habitually ask this but are not attuned to listening or hearing a response and others genuinely want to understand and know how we are…

Hello 2019 and here we go again! How do we feel about this new year? What do we hope will eventuate? How can we enable this to happen?…

We are reminded time and time again that it takes courage to make an appointment. When a crisis happens we generally either reach out or we retreat in. It is a turning point. We can go in either direction. We can use it as an opportunity to move toward growth, enrichment, improvement or we can get stuck in despair and live in pain…

Today is the last day of November and this means that the first day of the month begins tomorrow. No kidding, it’s the same way every month of the year. Yes, but this is the last month of the year! How do we feel about that?…

We may or may not be Royalist’s but it’s difficult not to feel some warmth toward Harry and Meghan. They generously and kindly connect with others in different cultures and situations…

If you travel then you have probably experienced jet lag…that feeling of uncertainty, of not knowing what day it is or what time it is and whether it is an ok time to eat or to sleep. Even just travelling from Perth in the last couple of weeks you would have experienced 4 different time zones as daylight savings kicked in. It effects our equilibrium and it can effect our physical…

Thursday 13th September is R U OK? DAY... a national day of action, dedicated to inspiring people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other ‘Are you OK?’. It's a national day of action which aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop seemingly little problems turning into potentially big ones…

Everyone gets anxious and most of us feel anxious much of the time. It is normal to be anxious. This is not a bad thing but a fact of life. Knowing that anxiety is part of our very existence not only normalises it but can help reduce the fear that we might have when anxious. Why do we feel this way? Because we all need to be alert to stay safe…

When we want to know something we can pretty much Google it. We can learn a lot about all kinds of things. For this we can thank other people with the experience and the skill that we lack…

What are our emotions trying to tell us? Even when we believe our decisions are guided by logic and rational thinking...our ability to manage and understand our emotions plays a role. A rare day off can be anxiety inducing...

As many of us skid to a halt and flop onto a 4 day weekend with little gas left in the tank...what might we be expecting of this Easter break?…

We hear about eating well, moving well, relating well, even dressing well but we probably don't hear as much about being brain well and what we can do to ensure that we have a healthy mind…

Another year, another month and another moment in time in which we might pause to acknowledge that we're back to it again and here we go again…

As we begin a New Year it can be helpful to take time to reflect, review, contemplate or to meditate? In doing so we can honour the past year by celebrating our joys and mourning our losses and by shaking our heads at the wonder of it all...another year notched up as we grow older and hopefully wiser?…

Dealing with stuff like this isn't easy as we feel disappointed when we don't achieve our goals and we feel frustrated when things don't turn out the way we want them to. Where do we feel it? Somewhere in our bodies and especially in our gut…

Today is MH awareness day and with 3 million Australians suffering from Anxiety and Depression, we can all help to reduce the stigma, by talking openly about it. On Channel Seven's Sunrise this morning, Julie Gillard said "A caring non judgemental conversation helps"…

Thursday 14th September is R U OK? DAY... a national reminder that we've all got what it takes to ask, "are you ok?" and show our care for one another and demonstrate support for those struggling with life…

We seem to mainly text or to contact one another via some form of technology nowadays. Rather than meeting in person or even connecting verbally on the phone we choose to send a quick picture, a like or a few words with or without emojis to connect in a quick way with another person…

Decisions, decisions? What to wear, what to eat, what to say, what to do? Life is full of decisions and making ‘the right’ decision or at least a reasonably ‘good one’ is a constant in our lives…

Life can be tough and we all need help sometime whether we want to admit it or not. We especially need one another when we are distressed and yet we often struggle to assist someone with the difficulties of life…
