Sometimes life can feel a little like driving down a dirt road after some rain. You know that it will be messy, and that you may even get bogged. But if you want to get where you are going, it is the only way through. And as long as you can see out the front at what is immediately ahead, and a bit out the back at what is behind you, you’ll be able to keep moving forward. No matter how much mud flicks up and hits you 🙌

You don’t need to justify or explain yourself. A clear, confident and compassionate “no” is enough. #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #boundaries #noisenoughexplanation

This has really helped me in the past!!
When you notice yourself hitting an emotional wall, stop and take a moment. Be kind to yourself. It may not be the barrier that you think it is. Sometimes the wall is there for you to lean on and rest.

Laugh. Cry. Dance. Scream. Make room for all the feelings, breathe, and take the next step forward. You’ve got this ❤️ #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #acceptance #leanintofeelings #feelingsarevalid #breathe
Worry and stress can be massive hooks, and cause us to choose actions that lead us away from what is important to us and who we want to be.
When you notice your stress level you are at a choice point - you can let it control and break you, or you can let your values lead, knowing that it is incredibly hard AND you can be ok.

Our Saturday night ritual since the first lockdown has been homemade pizzas - we have perfected a hoisin pork, red onion, capsicum and mushroom pizza 😘
We had meat lovers with dollops of sour cream on top, soo good! Not gluten free but I use garlic naan bread for the bases, easy and tasty
Definitely without anchovies
Who else feels like doing this sometimes? Taking some space from the world just for a little while, somewhere comfortable, quiet and cosy?
Sometimes it is exactly what we need to restore ourselves and recharge. And we need to give ourselves permission to do it.
Needing to stay there a long time and not wanting to reengage in the world, or not emerging recharged, may throw up little red flags that everything is not ok. They may be a sign that we need to reach out for help.
But when it is about taking the rest you need, when you need it, it is not only healthy, but essential.
I hope you find some rest this weekend.

Great explanation Naomi.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But, there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I'm gonna remember most,
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb…….
