Thanks for visiting our stand today. With our partners at Space to Breathe we wanted to offer you some resources and support to aid your wellbeing. T
Space to Breathe have found that all good and healthy routines of wellbeing usually fall back to three simple principles.
Self awareness
Being Present
Being grounded
Why not check out the videos and PDF’s below to engage with all three.
SELF-AWARENESS
The psychologist Carl Rogers said
“The Curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Healthy wellbeing begins with looking inside ourselves and knowing what’s going on. Imagine lifting the bonnet of your life - what would you find underneath? What’s working well? What needs a service?
Check out this video from Andy Freeman which explores the idea of self-compassion or looking kindly towards yourself. Practising this can make a big difference.
BEING PRESENT
Being present is the way we optimise the way we run as human beings. Here we are in our sweet spot because the present is the only time we can actually live. We can affect the past or change the future, even though we’d like to. Check out this Shh… meditation on the theme.
This PDF can help you through the ideas of being present and can be downloaded below.
BEING GROUNDED
Grounding ourselves enables us to find peace and calm in the midst of unsettling or stressful times. Its a way we can take a moment and reassess where we are. This is the pit-stop for our lives. Probably the most effective thing we can do is to do a breathing exercise. Watch this video to learn a breathing technique called ‘The Stop Process.’
HELPFUL TOOLS
We’ve also uploaded these three simple one page guides to three handy tools for our wellbeing - gratefulness, meditation and relaxation. Have a look below.
