Well-being Mojo

This week Claire and Sue delve into emotions and discuss how important it is to acknowledge and understand our emotions as a source of valuable information to help us become more accepting, more compassionate of ourselves and others. Plus how learning to work with our emotions can support our overall mental well-being and enable us to feel more authentic.

Autumn is a time often associated with change, new starts and transformation, and yet in order for this to work effectively, we may need to create some space. As the trees begin to turn golden and their leaves begin to fall, we too might be thinking about shedding any unwanted habits or behaviours or letting go of what no longer serves us so we can feel lighter and have more room for new things to begin. However, just how easy is it to let go and what's the difference between letting go and giving up? How do we know if something is no longer serving us and whether we need to make space for change and transformation? Claire and Sue give their take on these questions and expand further on this seasonal theme in this week's episode.

We often hear about the benefits of practising gratitude on a regular basis and how it can support our mental well-being, but what does practising gratitude actually entail? How is gratitude different from positivity and what can we do to make room for more gratitude in our day to day lives? In recognition of #worldgratitudeday (September 21st), and in celebration of their new #emotionalwealth on-line course, starting this October; Claire and Sue discuss the important role that gratitude can play in supporting our mental well-being and helping us to feel more emotionally wealthy.

Inspired by September's #makeahatday Claire and Sue talk about the different 'hats' we wear within our lives, the roles we fulfil and the labels associated with them. Exploring who we really are and whether our 'hats' can enable or restrict us when it comes to being more of our authentic selves.

If your life were a book, what would you read into it? To mark #readabookday - September 6th, Claire and Sue delve between the pages to explore the stories we tell ourselves. How might others might interpret our outer sleeve? Plus, the role of #emotionalwealth in supporting us to learn from what we've read and enable us to write new chapters for the next phase in our lives.

What has the menopause got to do with our mental well-being and why do we need to know about it? Claire and Sue share some of their thoughts on this highly significant, yet often overlooked part of life that affects so many women and their friends, families and colleagues. Including ways to improve our communication, say what we feel and gain the support we need while our emotions and hormones can feel all over the place.

This August, to mark Serendipity Day, Claire and Sue take a closer look at what happens when we open ourselves up to serendipity and how it can support us with our mental well-being.

To tie in with 'Never Give Up' day on August 18th, Claire and Sue turn the idea of not giving up on its head and dig into what it means for them, as well as discussing how it may relate to our mental well-being.

Claire and Sue talk about the challenges of being self-aware, practising emotional intelligence and how this can support our mental well-being to help us build up our emotional wealth. Including, the extent to which we sometimes need to accommodate ourselves and others in order to navigate our way through relationships.
