Inner Calm Podcast

Welcome to episode 22 of the Inner Calm Podcast. 

In this episode I am giving you a loving pep-talk from me to you. Helping to remind you, to give yourself a break. Give yourself a break in 2020, for doing the best you can, and give yourself a break everyday and every moment by not being so hard on yourself. You're doing the best you can. 

In this episode I share three ways to help 'give yourself a break'.

1. Dropping the "shoulds" and expectations.

2. Compassion, compassion, compassion. 

3. Acceptance of the present moment.

Welcome to episode 19 of the Inner Calm Podcast. 

This topic is particularly close to my heart, in sharing how to invite a sense of calm and care on your own chronic health journey. This could look like persistent pain, unknown symptoms and repeated doctors, appointments and health professionals to 'get to the bottom' of what is happening right now. And then of course those diagnosed with their own chronic health conditions that you are working to manage every day. 

This episode is designed to support you, your mental health and your wellbeing as you navigate this journey with your own team of health care professionals. 

In this episode I dive into four tips to help support you to feel a sense of calm and care for yourself during this journey. 

Let it be noted, that your version of 'calm' does not look the same as what it may have previously. 

1. Down regulate your nervous system. This is important to help support your own mental health and wellbeing. You can listen to episode #17 How to Calm Your Nervous System to help support you. 
2. Journalling. This is so beneficial to help you release the overwhelming number of thoughts within your own mind to the piece of paper. This process can be so cathartic. 
3. Present moment. Continually bring yourself back to the present moment. I understand the desire and need to worry about the future, about this concern, that concern, 'what does this mean for this'. This can become overwhelming and be unhelpful to your own wellbeing. So continually coming back to the present moment is key. 
4. Focus on your core circle. For myself personally I work best with keeping those closest to me close and having their help and support. I knew that keeping my focus here was key to not waste my energy with superfluous things, especially if going thru a flare up of feeling like crap or an intense situation or experience e.g. getting ready for surgery or recovering. 

I also mention episode #13: Importance of Self Soothing to help support you to take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself when you most need it. 

Know that your version of calm looks different at different points of your journey. I hope this has been of some help or support for you along your own health journey.

Welcome to episode 15 of the Inner Calm Podcast. 

In this episode I am diving into the importance of letting go of your negative thinking. Let it be clear, I am not saying you should only think "positive", this is unrealistic and detrimental, but what I do care about is how are the words you are using, making you feel? Are the thoughts you are thinking, kind and loving or chaotic and harsh?

Three tools to help you let go of your negative thinking. 

1. Journalling out all of the negative thoughts within your mind.
2. Scheduling worry time.
3. Pattern disruptor of flicking a hair tie.

Welcome to the 13th episode of the Inner Calm Podcast.

In this episode I am speaking about my own personal journal with self-soothing. I learnt this technique when I was working with a therapist years ago to support my mental health. 

In this episode we uncover what self soothing is, why it is so important, how to go about bringing it into your own life. Some journalling or self-enquiry prompts are: 

- what do I most need in this moment?

- what can I give myself right now?

- how can I wrap myself in a blanket of love?
