    A comforting chat in the time of Coronavirus lockdown - some suggestions to help you all mentally

    In a slightly different direction from my season 2 format (although still in the same subject area), I wanted to pop on and create an episode for you all seeing as we are now on lockdown. It's an episode that we will all look back on after our lives have changed in so many different ways. It's an unprecedented time, we haven't experienced anything quite like it before. Many of you have contacted me with fears that you are becoming increasingly lonely, bored, anxious and depressed.  I hope this episode will be of some light relief. I have noticed so many changes in the way we are being marketed to, particularly on social media.  At least the strong/skinny/diet stuff as stopped for now! Let's all stick together.   I'm here for you all. Find me on Instagram @mrsbridgethunt  Twitter @inbedwithbee and Facebook www.facebook.com/bridget.hunt1 If you need to email me - huntbridget@icloud.com Huge love to you all Stay Safe Xxxx

    Mental Health Makeover - The social media trap.

    As ever I start with a little catch-up... In my second episode in this series on mental health, I delve into the social media world to find out what steps we can take to stop spiraling into depression and the anxiety comparison trap. I am passionate about mental health and the rise of social media has seen an increase in comparison anxiety. One very simple sentence that I read recently inspired this episode so I'll spend a bit of time chatting about that first. Then, given that it's January I thought I would talk about New Years Resolutions and falling off an imaginary wagon (Clue it's not the falling that's the problem!).   The rules I have for who I follow. How to cull - the questions to ask yourself. Why breathwork and then humour is the best antidote to an anxiety attack. Send me your thoughts!  Send me a voicemail on the Anchor app or message me on Facebook here or Instagram @mrsbridgethunt  Have a great weekend everyone.

    Happy New Year - let's start 2020 with a new mindset over mental health

    I am back with a new mini-series on improving mental health! Tucked up in bed in my PJs and ready to help you in these dark winter months. After a brief update (and excuses) on what I have been up to since the last episode, I get stuck into the topic of depression/anxiety. Some links you may be interested in: Spinning Out - Netlfix series here  What is Yin Yoga? here  I will post details of our I AM ENOUGH event here shortly..... Previous episode on the topic I AM ENOUGH here Start your very own journey into feeling 'enough'.  Take a sheet of paper and spend 15-30 minutes writing all the ways you are enough.  Now stick it somewhere you will see it every single day. Send me your thoughts!  Send me a voicemail on the Anchor app or message me on Facebook here or Instagram @mrsbridgethunt  Have a great weekend everyone.

    Getting over Imposter Syndrome

    I start this episode with a catch-up, sorry I haven't recorded anything for a while.  You can fast-forward if you like but some of it is relevant to my podcast episode. I want to include a mini catch up at the start of each episode from now on. Diving into Imposter syndrome, I cover: What Imposter syndrome is. The effect that it has on us. Ten ways I have found helped me move on from it, into action and higher self-esteem. The sentence I learned from the entrepreneur Glen Carlson that changes EVERYTHING. Links to stuff I chat about and recommend: Fiit app - Introduced to me by my lovely friend Antonia, I particularly recommend the breathwork on the app.  Find out more here  The work of Max Strom - he does breathwork and he does yoga, start by watching this Ted Talk  This crazy book by Miranda July - No one belongs here more than you  Cal Newport's Talk and Book - highly recommend both! It's a topic that I see come up time after time and you really don't need to be paralyzed by it anymore.  Start some breathwork and allow yourself space to understand that no one belongs here more than you xxx Send me your thoughts!  Send me a voicemail on the Anchor app or message me on Facebook here or Instagram @mrsbridgethunt  Have a great week everyone.
