Finally fall season is in full swing ! 😊
As I sit by the window writing this to you, I am surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty of our ever adaptive nature & light - testament to what we already have right here in the world if we only take a moment to sit in the stillness & really be aware. Which takes me into my topic for this month for you on visualisation & it’s power in the everyday ! You may or may not know (depending on how long you’ve been following me - if you’ve only started then welcome friend !), it was my ongoing personal mental health journey that lead me to discover this technique. Whenever I experienced a panic attack or started spiraling in a negative emotion ,I was taught by one of my favorite people (my amazing life-coach/ beautiful human who is my auntie!), how to take my mind to the ‘happy place’ where it can be wherever you know you feel completely safe, content & relaxed. It's actually a really simple concept! The next time you feel overwhelmed, or out-of-control with any emotion- close your eyes, breathe & picture in your mind that place wherever it may be & whoever it may be with. Feel the surroundings of that place surround you, hug you & start regulate your breath, thoughts & body. Only once you have achieved those 3 do you then reopen your eyes 😊. I’ll let you into a secret too - my happy place is up on the Pentland Hills, surveying Balerno my home village & the city of Edinburgh in the background distance ,upon my favorite horse's back (Cheerio the Morgan horse for those of you who don’t know yet !😃) with his wavy mane & my hair being taken by the breeze in the sunshine! Visualisation has helped more times than I can count & is a really effective for creating a better sense of self-awareness /mindfulness too! If you are a creative, super-active thinker I promise you ,practiced enough, this will show you how to grasp new perspectives-even if you are someone who worries- this works! Feeling emotion is a hugely complex & beautifully intriguing part of being human, so remember to give yourself grace & know whatever you are going through & wherever you are, you are not alone! In such different times we’re in, it’s easy to forget this fact-however truth being we are united in the fact we are part of humanity & its our unique intricate & wonderful separate personalities that are only ours to have :). Personally, going forward into October I'm going to continue learning my mind & focusing on being mindful of my thoughts& feelings, how about you ?
