Keeping Life Simple keepinglifesimple

Everyone seems to be very concerned with our children's mental health, even more so during this pandemic. However, what if we could  see the mental health that we have in every moment, even when we feel sad or when times are hard. This 11 year old girl has a different understanding of mental health and resilience. She knows that she doesn't need any tools or techniques to help her out of a sticky situation. Please have a listen if you have children you are worried about. You may hear something that changes your life.

A beautiful interview with Esme Stanton, who speaks about her relationship to
-the 'stress' of moving house multiple times,
- weight loss,
- a child who has differences to the 'norm' and
- her family.
The ease and relief that she feels through knowing how she experiences life is palpable. Please enjoy.
 

We were delighted to interview Alan Davey whose experience of his business completely changed after understanding how he experiences life. In particular his decision making and staff relationships resulted in boosting his and his businesses performance. Since Covid-19 he has had to furlough staff and close his business but with the "100% rule" guiding him, he has navigated it in a much more peaceful way. Please listen to find out more.

Parenting can be overwhelming and frustrating.
We would like to have an ideal relationship with our child, and we blame ourself or our child if it isn’t perfect.
It is very helpful to know that we are always doing the best we can in our parenting. It takes away the guilt which is so familiar.

We address overwhelm and burnout: how to stop it and what to do about it. When we feel overwhelmed we feel like we have to do everything right now. When we see how we are experiencing life, in this moment, we see that overwhelm comes and goes and see it for what it really is.

If you are depressed, let is tell you, there is always hope. Why do we take a depressed thoughts more seriously than others? We think it defines us. But what if it is simply passing thought? It is an experience we have in a given moment, and moments are changing and so it our thinking.
