How much energy and time do you waste living in the past? How anxious are you about the future? How much does your overthinking rob you of enjoying the moment? In this blog I explore the building blocks which help us to connect with the present. Helping you spend more time living, feeling, connecting and relating instead of striving to survive each day.

Play has been my passion since childhood and throughout my adult life. Playfulness, for me, is about getting in touch with that childlike urge to be carefree, living for the moment and escaping the norms of everyday life. In this blog I share what I feel it is to be playful and how this can help us connect with ourselves and others. I list different ways we can be playful and look at what can stop us from following through with that playful urge.

Experiencing a range of emotions is all part of being human; but emotions can become overwhelming. In this blog I explore the skills we can use to stay calm, connected and in control instead of reacting, by defending and attacking, wanting to run, freezing up or hiding away.

Do you recognise when you are calm and connecting with yourself and others? You feel in control. Then something happens and you react and spiral or you may want to just hide and disappear. It might be that you seem to be constantly in a spiral or feeling down. In this blog I outline ways you can identify if you are in control and connected or if you have spiralled or plummeted. We look at ways you can become more aware of your responses and start to look at tools to help you manage those ups and downs.
