If emotion is information...
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...
Time to reflect...
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?…
Strengthening connection
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…
Here we go again...
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…
Goodbye 2017 and Hello 2018.
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?…
Whoops... and there goes November?

Conceal? Pretend? or Reveal?
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…
Want? Need? Choose?
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…
Help me? Help you? Help others?
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…
Satisfied? Uncertain? Perplexed?
Happy Easter! Or was it? The Easter break is a rare four day long long weekend. For many of us that means no work and an opportunity to redefine our daily routine. While we might have been looking forward to it, the cost of having time off is that we have 2 shorter weeks to potentially…
Happy? Calm? or Stressed?
We're more than half way through March and the Easter bunny and Hot cross buns are on the shelves again. Now that we are well and truly into 2017, back at school, uni or work, how manageable is your life?…
Worried? Anxious? Panicky?
Given that life is full of uncertainty, it is likely that we have all felt this way before. Maybe you are feeling this way at present? We are all likely to experience these uncomfortable emotions along with a myriad of other feelings as we deal with the stuff of life…
40 days until Christmas
Ask Siri 'How many days until Christmas?' 'It's 40 days until then' is her reply. Does reading that cause you to feel panic and to want to deny that it's actually true?…
It's Mental Health Week (8-15 October, 2016)
And it's another opportunity to check in and see how you and others are doing Mentally even Holistically. Just remember, that if you feel like you're going crazy, you can always go NUTS with us…
Good Grief
Life is full of uncertainty and it's not always great. We all know what it's like to lose something or someone. Understanding and coping with loss and grief is different for everyone and it takes time…
