Grounding is a way of bringing yourself back to the present moment—especially during times of overwhelm or distress. It’s not one-size-fits-all, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. The key is finding what helps you feel safe.

Habits shape how we think, feel, and behave - often without us noticing. While some support our wellbeing, others can limit growth and connection. Change is possible, even if it feels unfamiliar at first.

Sometimes we truly are victims of difficult or unjust situations and acknowledging this is an important part of healing. But when we get stuck in feelings of powerlessness and blame, it’s possible we’ve adopted a victim mentality. It can be hard to spot but, with support, it’s possible to overcome these pattens of helplessness and take control of your own life.

We are story tellers…and the stories we tell ourselves aren’t always true.

The brain often sticks to a familiar beliefs like “I’m not good enough” - and then searches for proof to back it up. But this isn’t the whole story and can leave us feeling stuck. By noticing and challenging our old stories, we can start to edit them, or write new stories altogether.

The experience of shame can be devastating. It may make us feel powerless, rejected, or isolated — as though we’re fundamentally flawed. Whether it stems from past experiences, relationships, or social pressures, shame can shape the way we see ourselves and how we relate to others. Shame makes us want to hide. One of the most powerful steps towards healing is to talk about your shame with someone you trust.

Guilt is a natural feeling and shows that we care. While guilt can serve as a helpful guide for growth and self-awareness, it can also become burdensome if left unchecked. However, with reflection, understanding, and self-compassion, you can let go of guilt and move forward with greater clarity and peace.

Feeling lost often happens when something in our lives is out of alignment—whether it’s a career, a relationship, or the way we’ve been living. Whilst this can feel confusing, and even painful, it could also be the nudge we need to make essential changes, and get closer to living the life we really want.

Change is an inevitable part of life. Whether it comes in the form of a new job, a change in our health, the end of a relationship, or the start of a new one, change disrupts our routines and challenges our comfort zones. Navigating the inevitable changes that life brings requires courage, endurance and commitment but also offers the potential for profound personal growth.

Your inner critic can be harsh and relentlessly negative, leaving you feeling inadequate and defeated. The good news is that by noticing this voice, you can start to understand it and choose how much airtime you want to give it.

It’s something we do from the moment we’re born until the moment we die. But, as well as keeping us alive, the simple act of breathing can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
