Having regular times to going to and bed waking up allows your body to form a regular rhythm in your sleep-wake cycles. After a while your body will naturally predict that it is time to sleep and will start preparing itself by releasing melatonin. It will help you fall asleep and wake up more easily 🌟 #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychology #sleeptips #sleeproutine
Did you you that kissing is great for your physical and mental health? Kissing triggers your brain to release feel good hormones, including serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine. It helps you feel more bonded and connected to another, and improves your self esteem. It reduces stress and anxiety, boosts your immune system and lowers your blood pressure. And while social distancing currently may make it harder to give someone a kiss, take every opportunity to kiss those closest to you.... you will both benefit ❤️ #alifesimplylivedpsychology #rural psychology #feel good hormones #mental healthbenefits #physicalhealthbenefits
My husband and I try and have a good pash every morning before we set off for the day - not just a ‘see ya peck’ . It really helps ground us and we both head off with a smile 😃

A message for all leaders : CEOs, supervisors, mentors, teachers, parents. Our people (big and small) are watching, and they are influenced by us. We have a limited but powerful opportunity to make a difference. Lead wisely 🙌 #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #LeadershipMatters #parenting
Today is #crazysocks4docs2020 . And with my not so crazy, but very warm and bright work socks, I honour especially the many rural doctors who work tirelessly and selflessly in their communities. We value you and support you. And we remember that as amazing as you are, you are human too. You feel the pressure and carry the problems and burdens of the communities you are part of and integral to. Covid19 has been hard, not least of all on you. We thank you, and ask you to be kind to yourselves and take great care of your own wellbeing too 🙏 #ruralpsychologist #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralGP #gratitude #gpwellbeing
Jeffrey paid us an unexpected visit in Boort today. She looked a little lost, and was hoping we might be able to help! So glad she knew she’d be welcome 🙌 #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #diversity #allwelcome
Bless Jeffrey💓
Lol she was waiting on the door step when I opened the post office door 😊
Did you know that the screens on your devices (phones tablets computers tv) trick your brain into thinking that it’s daytime, and stop your body releasing the sleep hormone melatonin. Try to switch them off at least an hour before you want to go to bed. Replace with a good book, quiet music or a mindfulness practice 🙌 #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #sleeptips #screentime
Consider for a minute the decisions you make in your life. The small ones and the big ones. The life changing ones and the everyday ones. Ask yourself, what are your decisions based on? Are they based on the things that hook you, the unhelpful thoughts, memories, and difficult feelings? Flimsy and easily knocked down, and heading you in a direction you don’t want to go? Or are they based on the solid foundations of your values and strengths and what is important to you? Values based decisions are not necessarily easy, but they will lead you where you want to go, and allow you to be the person you want to be. It’s your choice 🌟 #alifesimplylivedpsychology #ruralpsychologist #ACT #valuesbaseddecisions #choicepoint #hooksversushelpers
Private practice internship for a provisionally registered psychologist. A background working with children and an interest in assessments would be preferred, but not essential. If you would like to have an internship experience which is broad in terms of ages and presentations, and well supported in a motivated team environment, then this may be the job for you. As we outreach to other small communities to provide services locally, there will be some travel involved in the position. Relocation to the region is likely necessary, and will offer the benefits of a rural lifestyle. The internship includes all primary supervision requirements, weekly group supervision and occasional weekend group study retreats with the internship team. No
Hands up, who has trouble switching off at the end of the day?? What helps you?
I tell myself that being in a helping role, I am no good if I burn out, so sometimes less will have to do. But my employer also support work life balance so that helps tremendously.
Watching the sunset!
I felt this today!
This!! Reading helps
