Help Yourself
Self help resources and remedies that I have found useful
Modern day life can feel challenging at times.
It’s a delicate balance of trying to strive for a happy home and work life, nurture meaningful friendships, romantic relationships and family dynamics along the way, whilst also trying to leave some space and time to take care of your own health and well-being.
There are moments where you may be attempting to navigate changes like pregnancy or menopause when hormones can go haywire, periods of ill health, learning to be a good parent if that’s a route you have chosen, perhaps having to care for a loved one or learning to swim in a sea of grief following loss.
Then we have the news. Mainstream media curation and candid streaming on socials. There is no escape. While we absolutely need awareness of what is going on in the world, the drip feeding of the horrors of war, crime rates, politics, the bad and the sad - the constant, negative commentary can begin to take its toll.
It’s no wonder things can sometimes feel overwhelming, challenging, frustrating, even confusing at times.
If a problem persists for en extended period and finance or charitable circumstances allow, then therapy can of course be a good option to work through things, aside from that, here are some resources that I have personally found valuable when trying to make sense of things/ease the pressure if I’m feeling a bit down, confused, stuck, stressed, irritated or anxious.
