Discover you Happiness HERE

Sunday Blues?Its Sunday afternoon and the weekend is nearly behind us. Pangs of anxiety can kick in about Monday morning. It is extremely common for people to experience a spike in anxiety and depressive symptoms on Sundays.

After nearly 10 years of working successfully with clients who have anxiety, here are some helpful tips:

Instant HolidayTake yourself off in your mind to a safe place. This can be somewhere that you find particularly calming like a beautiful garden or hillside, sunny beach, or maybe your bedroom or your favourite chair. Practice this with your eyes closed, maybe before sleep or in a quiet place for a few minutes and simply be there in your mind, see what you see in your safe place, hear what you hear, notice smells and tastes etc.. Enjoy the feelings of calm and safe. Its like having an instant holiday!

Breathe!We breathe subconsciously so consciously taking a breath now and then encourages you to be more in the moment and away from your thoughts. Follow your breath in and be with the sensations in your body as it travels around and follow the breath out. Take 1-3 breaths in this way a few times though out the day and simply notice.

Meditate or Listen to a Relaxation Track

There are plenty of good tracks available that can help you to relax and switch off. Guided meditation or relaxation, nature music and sounds.

"I booked in for an 8 week mindfulness course in order to deal with stress and anxiety. I found it enormously useful and now recommend the course with a kind of evangelical enthusiasm"

"I haven't lost my temper with my kids since we started this!"

"Anxiety, stress, depression, my general health, failing relationships and work it all seemed to get worse day by day. I couldn't find a solution or help for my problems wherever I searched. This Mindfulness Course has shown me the coping mechanism and way to search for solutions/answers within myself and understanding in my chaotic world."

"I went to this course for health reasons and have learn't some great tools to use that I enjoy and that help to balance and energise me."

"I am more energised and grounded. Feel like I have some real clarity."

"My time spent with Katie has been one of absolute transformation. In 8 short weeks I can honestly say I now know how it feels to truly 'live' again; outside of my head; fully in my body and to finally appreciate my whole self for all its wonder. I never thought I'd be able to say that I could 'befriend' my troubles, but after The Mindfulness course, I honestly feel blessed to have an entirely new perspective on life; my troubles are no longer so surmountable, and probably never were! With Katie, I have created a toolbox for life; I have started a journey into myself that I will never forget.

Thank you Katie, firstly, for offering this course, and secondly, for delivering it with such clarity, openness, kindness and grace. You are an inspiration, and through you I now finally see that I am too"
