Bin It

Being safe and secure is the key to our deep, inner, confidence, which I believe is essential in helping you feel and live with confidence in all levels of your life. Our minds are amazing, and they are always trying to help us find ways to automate what we are doing, helping us to free up more mental inner space, which is fantastic for things like walking and driving a car, but if our mind starts automating things we don’t want, then we’re in trouble. With our inner minds working for us,

Happy

From the stone age to the 1950’s, all over the world we lived in fear of a neighbour or another country invading our homes, villages, or territory. Slaughtering our friends, family, and community, to take over and occupy our land and resources, or if they didn’t slaughter us, they brought health epidemics which did it for them. We are also over the era of being helpless beings in our powerful, world, out of control with the force of nature. Of course, we do see many disasters and devastation

Change

2023/09/01

I was reflecting on life the other day while looking through some of my old photographs and some of the things I used to do when I was younger. I must say at this point that I am making myself feel very old now!! But I think for many of us we can see how much our world is changing. Some things we don't even realise weren't always the way it is now. But for parts of our mind, we struggle with changing this quickly. This is because a big part of our unconscious mind is primeval, and this part of

Low

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/08/25

Life, I think, can have many ups and downs for everyone. This can be hard at times to cope with. We must try and deal with things in the best possible way that we can, by not feeding these low feelings. This is not to say that we should avoid them either but that we should try not to catastrophise what is happening at the moment and do our best to deal with things head-on. This might sound sensible but for some of us, we can find it very hard to do. This is because our minds can be very protective

Distraction

We have been looking at ways to help us reduce our fear levels even when life can be a challenge to us. This is a key thing, not only in helping our fear, but also in keeping our levels of anxiety in a stable and low place. If we spend lots of time with those worries and what-if's, we will be creating lots of inner fear and anxiety, if it is left unchecked it can run riot within us. A good plan is to stop this before it starts, if it's just at the beginning of starting to ruminate about

Stop Fear

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/07/21

We have been looking at the fear response, which we are quite aware is something that can be heavily based in our unconscious and primeval minds. This is because it is part of the fight, flight, and freeze response, which is very important for us to have, as it helps us deal with real-life dangers. This helps us to stay safe, by our inner minds alerting us to any dangers in that milli second when our mind gets triggered into this response system. We have to accept that without hard work or

Fear

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/07/14

According to psychology research, fear is a primal emotion that involves a universal biochemical response and a high individual emotional response. Fear involves a wide range of both physical and emotional symptoms and our fear response is different to everyone else's.

Do

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/07/08

I think we can enjoy life more if we do the things we need to as quickly as we can. If we have lots to do then it not only feels like a weight on us but it can negatively impact our mental health and anxiety levels. You might be thinking why is this the case? It is because our minds can get overwhelmed when too many things need to be done. Even if they are small things, they can still trigger anxiety for some people. I think it is important that we have strategies to help us get things done

Goal

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/05/19

Setting goals is a great way to help us move our lives forward, also it is great for us to be the best version of ourselves as well. I think life can really fly by, days become weeks and weeks become months and years. This is fine as long as we don't end up with regrets and we find we are looking back on our lives wishing we could have done more. We do live in a fast-paced life, and this can mean we feel that there isn't enough time to do anything extra. But sometimes there is a bit of room that

Free

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/05/13

Over thirty years ago I spent nearly two years backpacking around the world, this time in my life was the freest I have ever been. This I think was because of many factors, and it is very hard to create the same freedom I felt in the commercialised world that the UK is. Also, I think that having less belongings, in fact hardly anything, just a backpack, was liberating. With having no fixed abode, the pressure of money is massively reduced and the basic principles of just food and shelter felt

Inner No

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/04/28

We looked in the last blog about saying no to others and making our lives more balanced by the natural tug-of-war of relationships and life. This blog wants to explore the more internal self-desires and limiters to saying no. I think we can all say yes to the fact that, at times, we do things that we really want to say no to but end up doing anyway. This could be eating that chocolate bar, having that glass of wine, succumbing to drugs, take pain killers, porn or sex addictions, smoking, vaping,

No

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/04/21

The power of saying no has a tremendous effect on our mental health, as it allows us to value ourselves more. It also helps us prioritise ourselves. This can even lead us to new opportunities that wouldn't have been achievable by saying yes. Also, it allows us to set boundaries with people and over time this becomes a much happier, healthy place for us and all the people in our lives to live in.

Self Love

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/04/15

I think we could all do with loving ourselves more. In this very competitive world we live in, it is very easy to not feel good enough. If we start feeling this way about ourselves then it will be hard to love ourselves in the ways we should. Self-love is very important because it motivates much of the positive behaviour we can have in our lives, while reducing harmful behaviours and negative habits we can get into. It empowers us to take risks to strive to be the best version of ourselves and

Broken

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/04/07

Anxieties, panic attacks, and severe worrying can take time for us to fully recover, and it is important to own this. If we don't acknowledge the process of breaking out from bad habits into new ones, we can get pressurised by our inner thought processes. If we think just after one day, or one week, or one month, that it will be gone forever, then I think we are living in denial over this. Our minds are like massive computers and reprogramming them takes time because we have to forget the habits

“Life is for living”, is a saying I am sure most of you have heard before. I agree that this is the case and that we have to embrace life and work to make the most of every day. I think it is great to look at life from this positive viewpoint and work to make the best of every moment. Living in the moment means trying not to worry about the past, which you can't change anyway, and not worrying about things that might happen in the future as we don’t know what’s coming, and we are not

More Joy

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/03/25

The last blog was looking at ways to help your mind to be in a place that allows more joy into your life. If we don't have a firm foundation to build things on, then whatever we try and build on top of this could just crumble away without that solid foundational support to hold it up. This is just the same when we choose to form new habits and ways of living in our lives, we have to create a safe and solid place for us to develop and hold these new habits on. Many people rush off to make

Joy

MindHealth by Sara Stevens ·

2023/03/17

I think it is important to have joy in our lives and find ways to live in these more positive mindsets. If we have more joy and happiness then this can help to boost our inner positive hormones. When we feel joy in our bodies it is because of the release of dopamine and serotonin, two types of neurotransmitters in the brain. Both of these chemicals are heavily associated with happiness. It has been proven that people with clinical depression often have lower levels of serotonin and this is why GPs

Laugh

2023/03/11

I must say I am one of those people who likes to laugh; if you have been a client of mine, you might have noticed this. If you are a family or friend, you will know this about me. I often like to make a joke or just make fun of myself or the situation I might be in, as I think laughter is one of the most precious gifts we are given in life.

CBT

CBT is another approach that I often use parts of in my sessions, as it can help you work through your issues and find those solutions you have been searching for. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant

Life Coaching

2023/02/18

I think at times we all have those thoughts about what direction we should take in situations, and we can feel overwhelmed by those more challenging situations, struggling to find a way through things. Life coaching can help you pick things apart and help you properly identify which way forward to go and give you more focus on how to make those life changes that you have wanted to make.
