Taking Care of Your Mental Health

An important message...

Picture
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe
 
When speaking with a parent recently, they shared their love of this quote. In exploring how they were feeling, it became clear why this message was so important to them.
 
The truth is, as parents, it can often feel like you are always getting it wrong. Life is hard, but throw children, school, work, finances and everything else into the mix, and it can feel like a daily hike up a snowy mountain – with constant avalanches and 100mph winds.
 
This week we are sharing useful tips and resources to help support all of our parents and carers, and today’s tip is…
 
REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ONLY DO YOUR BEST.
 
You will get it wrong, you will make mistakes and things will be tough… But you are human. No one can get it right all of the time.
 
​​​If you are a struggling parent/carer, we are currently offering free consultations. Please contact us when you feel ready. 

If you feel in need of support or specific advice, please get in touch.

'Playing the Matrix' by Mike Dooley

Picture
‘Playing the Matrix’ by Mike Dooley
 
In Playing the Matrix, New Thought leader and New York Times bestselling author Mike Dooley brings to bear his advanced course on living deliberately and creating consciously. The concepts Mike shares in these pages make up his most impactful, most transformational program ever. For the first time, these complete ideas are at your fingertips in book form.

At the heart of the Matrix lies a simple yet highly unexpected concept for creating major life change, unlike anything shared by other teachers, past or present. It clearly reveals why 'manifesting' sometimes works with incredible ease, why it sometimes doesn't work at all, and why, on occasion, it works and yet in hindsight we wish it hadn't. You'll not only learn about the 'Bermuda Triangle of Manifesting' that too often leads to heartbreak and loss, you'll discover how to navigate around it, under full sail, with new 'Aha!' moments all along the way.

Playing the Matrix lays out the actual physical and metaphysical mechanics of manifestation, including your role in the equation of reality creation, so that you can deliberately orchestrate the changes you most wish to see. Once you begin working with the Universe instead of unwittingly working against it, you will truly astound yourself.
 
Check it out here.

What should I look for in a Complementary Therapist?

Picture
What should I look for in a Complementary Therapist?
 
In sharing some of our top recommended Complementary Therapies this week, we have received some messages asking, “how do I know that this therapist is trained, qualified/certified, insured and accredited?”
 
We feel these are really important questions, so here are some of our top tips for making sure your Complimentary Therapist is right for you…
 
  • Do Your Homework – If you’re looking to for an EFT practitioner, for example, research the training requirements, certification content, accreditations to look out for and organisations that they may be a part of to ensure they are reputable. You can also look at online testimonials and reviews for specific practitioners.
  • Ask Questions – If you want to know whether they are insured, qualified or accredited by a specific organisation – ask them. You can also ask to see proof too. At HappiMe, our team carry a portfolio wherever they work, which includes relevant checks, certificates, qualifications and proof of insurance. We even share information on all accreditations to help make this minefield of information more digestible for clients. Not all therapists do this, but they should be able to answer these questions.
  • Check the Important Stuff – Although we have mentioned these already, please check that they are DBS checked, insured, qualified/certified, where they trained/who by, and whether they have any up-to-date testimonials from clients… Finding out more about their experience is useful too – to ensure you’re happy with their expertise. All of this information will help ensure you make an informed decision.
 
You might also find this link helpful, as it’s provided by NHS England.

Have you ever tried Reiki?

Picture
Have you ever tried Reiki?
 
Since this week is National Complementary Therapy Week, we wanted to share the power of Reiki.
 
So, what is it?
 
According to the Reiki Association, “Reiki” (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy, and is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing.

Reiki can be used alongside other conventional or complementary treatment and often helps to provide emotional support during recovery.
 
The method of receiving Reiki is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The whole person is treated rather than specific areas. Sessions can take 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half, depending on the client’s needs.
 
If you’re interested in this Complimentary Therapy, feel free to get in touch. We can recommend tried, tested and reputable practitioners who are currently working remotely.

Have you ever tried a Complementary Therapy?

Have you ever tried a Complementary Therapy?
 
It’s National Complementary Therapy Week!
 
To celebrate the amazing work that therapists, practitioners and experts are doing across the UK – we wanted to share some of the amazing therapies our team have used, in a hope to encourage you to think about giving them a try…
 
Today, we wanted to share our thoughts on Pilates!
 
So, what is the amazing Alternative Therapy?
 
According to our friends at Oxford Dictionary, Pilates is a system of exercises using special apparatus, designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture, and enhance mental awareness.
 
NHS England shares that Pilates aims to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing.

Pilates was developed by German-born Joseph Pilates, who believed mental and physical health were closely connected. His method was influenced by western forms of exercise, including gymnastics, boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling. 
 
If you’re interested in this Complimentary Therapy, feel free to
get in touch. We can recommend tried, tested and reputable practitioners who are currently working remotely.

How are your children settling back into school?

Picture
How are your children settling back into school?

Before we share creative today’s activity, we just wanted to check-in to see how you are doing. Are you ok? How are your children feeling? We’re sure returning to school has been exciting for lots of reasons, but we’re equally sure there has probably been lots of hurdles too!

Please remember that HappiMe are here should you need someone to talk to. 

Anyway, today’s activity is something that will help keep the kids away from the TV for an hour when they get back from school… And it’ll help reduce your rubbish pile too!

Tomorrow is World Recycling Day, so we’re challenging you to get arty with the bits and bobs in your recycling bins!

You’ve got one hour to choose as many things as you can that would normally be going out with the rubbish… You can also use tape and any crafts you have at home!

Have a go and send us your amazing creation by sharing your work, tagging us or DMing us a photo on our socials.

Ready, set… GO!

Why are we sharing these fun tasks? Because we strongly believe that allowing children to get creative in their free time boosts confidence and resilience, as it encourages independent thinking, problem solving and can lead to a sense of accomplishment!

Do your children like writing?

Picture
Do your children like writing?
 
Across HappiMe social media for the rest of this week, we are going to be continuing last week’s topic by sharing some more exciting creative activities, and since this Sunday is World Poetry Day, we felt like a writing activity would be fitting…
 
As we have explained before, the HappiMe team celebrate creativity and think it’s important for so many reasons. Firstly, getting creative builds confidence and resilience… If those aren’t great reasons to get arty or imaginative, then what is?
 
Today’s task is to write a poem
, but not just any poem, a poem sharing all of the laughs you have had over the past year… If you can’t think of any, why not think of a poem that will make your family chuckle today?  
 
Check out some more fantastic poetry fun here.

It's Neurodiversity Week!

Picture
It’s Neurodiversity Week!

What does this mean?

Well, according to Understood.org…

“Neurodiversity is a viewpoint that brain differences are normal, rather than deficits. The idea of neurodiversity can have benefits for kids with learning and thinking differences. This concept can help reduce stigma around learning and thinking differences.”

At HappiMe, we celebrate our differences, so we felt it important to mention this special awareness week with you.

What would we like you to do today?

If you don’t know much about the term “neurodiverse”, then please spend some time educating yourself and your family. To get you started, here are some helpful resources worth looking at:

A short video for kids...

Autistic UK 

Exceptional Individuals 

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Oh, and check out our next post for some fun family activities!
