The ‘Morning Pages’ by Julia Cameron from ‘The Artist’s Way’ describes a practice where you write three handwritten pages of stream-of-consciousness writing first thing in the morning. It’s a way to dump out thoughts, feelings, and ideas without editing them to connect to a sense of safety. It’s just one tool to get creatively unblocked, clearing mental clutter. Here I share my process of using the Morning Pages for a sense of embodied safety. [18.2.25.]

How can I make my writing visible and show up authentically (without the awkwardness)? Many struggle with the fear of being seen, criticised, and humiliated. Perhaps each of us holds onto painful memories of not feeling good enough or struggles with the need for perfection. Today, I’m exploring creative solutions to make my writing visible and share my words with confidence. [16.2.25.]

How do we know what we know? Self-authorship invites us to explore what truly matters and design a life aligned with our values. By regularly reflecting on our beliefs, identity, and relationships, we can shed what no longer serves us and evolve. Here, I share personal experiences with self-authorship and the challenges of personal growth. [15.2.25.]

As adults, why do we repeat traumatic events or childhood dynamics expecting different results? Why do we self-sabotage and go into unhealthy situations? I explore Sigmund Freud’s ‘Repetition Compulsion’ and how break bad habits. [10.2.25.]

“Be kind to yourself” are words we often hear. Yet, how many of us are self-compassionate when things go wrong? Rather than “power through” difficult feelings, can we be our own best friend, using supportive words? Here are ways to use kindness as a ray of sunshine on cloudy days. [7.2.25.]

Take control of stress and overwhelm with these easy somatic (mind-body) practices. Integrate simple daily rituals to underand worry, making space for wholehearted acceptance (controlling what you can and letting go of the rest). [6.2.25.]

In a writing circle, a member mentioned she struggled to share her writing online. She felt the need to hide her voice and the longing to share her writing. This push-and-pull of wanting to be visible (but not vulnerable to criticism) resonated with me. What stops me from sharing my writing unapologetically? [4.2.25.]

Selective attention lets us focus on what matters by filtering out external distractions and inner chatter. For those with ADHD or anyone struggling to stay focused, here are powerful tools to help you get started. [25.1.25.]

Anxiety often makes us jump to the worst-case scenario. If catastrophising and negative thinking sound familiar, here’s how to be more self-aware of cognitive distortions, opting for more helpful perspectives. [24.1.25.]

Embodied goals involve tuning into the body and making soulful goals that feel good. They’re intrinsically motivated and expand who and what we think is possible. So, how do we make embodied goals (feeling optimistic, even when things don’t go as planned)? [23.1.25.]

Motherhood brings profound shifts in identity and career, often due to caregiving and the relentless mental load. Balancing work and life can feel like an impossible juggling act. I share how I’m navigating these changes and how organisation, embodiment practices and kind self-talk are helping me stay sane. [22.1.25.]

Mental rehearsal is a powerful tool for managing anxiety by imagining stressful events and practising calm responses. Break the situation into parts and visualise how you want to think and feel at each stage. Feeling anxious? Try mental rehearsal. [21.1.25.]

How can we silence the inner critic and transform negative thoughts? I embrace kind self-talk, uncover the positive intentions behind my negativity, and use a powerful magic question to ignite hope, even when exhaustion sets in. [10.1.25.]

As part of the kind self-talk series, I’m being more mindful of how I speak to myself each day. I had a conversation with a friend who gave me the idea to use more assertive communication with others. Anxiety often shows up as indecisiveness and apologising too much. How can we express our needs in every conversation? [18.1.25]

What’s the difference between embodiment therapy and somatic therapy? How can these tools help with general anxiety and how do I use these in my online therapy practice? [18.1.25.]

What life script are you living by? A life script is the narrative we assign to our lives—crafted in childhood and deeply influencing how we see ourselves and others. Our life script includes emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and assumptions that guide our choices. Highlighting our blind spots and victim mindsets can be painful and yet, it’s the first step towards authoring a more empowered path. [15.1.25.]

Can a recovering perfectionist use kind self-talk each day? I experiment today using compassionate self-talk to challenge depressive thoughts. I learn how being compassionate to myself can enhance mindful productivity (while also getting things done)[14.1.25.]

Hypnosis is a powerful state of focused attention that connects with the subconscious mind, unlocking new habits. Within integrative therapy, hypnosis can be used as a tool to strengthen positive beliefs. Here are nine fears and phobias that hypnosis can help with. [13.1.25.]

Negative self-talk is when our inner voice tells us negative, critical and harsh comments. Negative thoughts can protect us from danger. But when thoughts are mostly critical this can lead us to perfectionistic (black-and-white) thinking, as we feel depressed, stressed and isolated from others. So how do we start using kind self-talk in our daily lives? [12.1.25.]

Perfection is when good isn’t good enough. We set high standards and criticise ourselves for unmet goals. Instead, how can we use kind (not critical) self-talk? I share how I’m challenging mean thoughts when things go wrong. [11.1.25.]
