Step 1: Pause

Don’t immediately react. Create a little space between what you feel and how you respond.

Step 2: Observe

Ask yourself: “What’s happening inside me right now?”

”Am I becoming defensive, withdrawing or trying to be right?”

Step 3: Get curious.

What lies beneath this reaction?

Is it hurt, fear, insecurity or an unmet need?

Step 4: Choose vulnerability.

Instead of expressing your protection, express your truth.

Try: “I’m noticing I’m feeling defensive. What’s underneath that is that I feel hurt / ashamed, and I’m finding it difficult to express that.”

This then opens up the conversation for both parties to engage in conscious, heart led conversation which supports the healthy development of the relationship, increase connection and facilitates another valuable step forward of individual and collective growth.

Good Evening

We have a great opportunity for anyone that would like to experience deep restoration and a noticeable shift in your nervous system.

We’re running a 1 hour nervous system reset session over lunch time next Wednesday for anyone that can get to Dalkeith Country Park for a 12.30pm start. Prompt arrival is essential, so that the session begins at 12.30 without interruption.

Your participation in this free event is in exchange for being part of a professional photo shoot which will be subtle, not intrusive and will not reduce the effectiveness of the guided practice.

This practice will begin with you in a seated upright position before moving to a lying down position.

Tickets are FREE and we have 8 spaces available.

There is no specific criteria, however it could be particularly valuable for anyone experiencing stress or anxiety or keen to give yourself an hour to support your health and wellbeing.

Tickets are available via the link 🔗 https://www.themindfulenterprise.org/product/nervous-system-reset-session-dalkeith-country-park-wellness-space-november-2026/

The connection between nature and our health and wellbeing as a human being on this planet is inseparable.

Why do we always feel better when in nature?

Because our brains and bodies evolved in the natural world. We are a fundamental part of nature, so when we’re around it, it feels like home!

Nature engages our senses without overwhelming our brains.

It gives our nervous systems an opportunity to move away from the constant stimulation, demands and stressors of modern life and into a state of restoration.

Then there’s the negative ions and the energy frequency from the unseen world which we cannot touch but we can feel!

Battery fully charged🔋

It’s like the relaxing feeling when we sigh out a nice long breath exhalation!

Then there’s the physical health benefits of whatever way we choose to move and exercise our bodies.

Sunday was a reminder of how much I love being in the wilderness and in particular being in the mountains.

I missed it like you wouldn’t believe over the 5 years when I was in physical recovery.

In the lead up to the weekend, we had a group of 10.

A short distance into the walk and we were down to 3. ☺️

Life happens. Plans change. Unexpected sickness arrives and decisions have to be made.

There will be more opportunities in the near future.

The weather was fantastic for this time of year, albeit there was a chilly wind in the first section up to the summit of Ben Lawers which was more exposed to the elements.

Coming back round the other lower side of the mountain was sheltered and it was mild, warm and sunny which was delightful for the 1st of November.

The scenery as ever was epic! ⛰️☀️

We completed two summits of

📍Ben Lawers and Beinn Ghlas ⛰️🥾

17,000 steps apparently!

We went for a couple of drinks afterwards and then some food on the way home!

The bodies were tired but the souls were well fed.

We’ll do another in a couple of weeks time.

Have a great week

GUEST FACILITATOR ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

Health & Wellbeing Retreat - 21st & 22nd November.

Over the last few years we’ve been blessed to have had so many great facilitators join us at our Dalkeith Country Park Retreats!

Yoga, breathwork, sound baths, Qigong, Mindfulness and Compassion and more, all with the intention of providing our attendees with a deeply impactful experience to support wellbeing and self development.

We’re always looking for new facilitators to create a new experience for our guests, something we haven’t had before and I’m delighted to announce that Sharon Webster from HeadTonic will be joining us on Sunday 22nd November.

Sharon is a hypnotherapist and will be guiding a group hypnotherapy session to help our guests breakthrough self imposed limitations.

If you experience self doubt or have some important goals you’re working towards but find yourself overthinking or feeling stuck, this experience, along with the other themes of the day could provide the forward momentum you’ve been looking for.

If you feel you’d benefit from a complete unwind, destress and reinvigoration for mind and body, at the end of a busy year, we’d love to see you in 3 weeks time.

We have a small number of tickets remaining at a 10% discount. All you have to do to secure your spot is to leave the word ‘RESTORE’ in the comments or via DM and we’ll share the code and booking details.

We started Week 1 of our Mindfulness Based Living Course last night and don’t normally get feedback this early in the process.

So, it came as a pleasant surprise to receive this email below earlier today from one of our attendees.

We asked Alan if he would be comfortable with us using it anonymously but he said he was comfortable with us sharing it, with his name included. 👌🏻

OFFER:

There is still time for a couple of people to join this group. We have a recording of the week 1 content that we can share and new participants can join from Week 2 next Monday.

We don’t admit anyone to the course after Week 2.

We know from enquiries that there are people out there who are keen to attend this course but may not have had the financial means to pay the full price at the time of enquiring.

Please don’t let that stop you doing something that could be the very thing that you need right now to help take you forward in a really positive direction.

In-person location📍18 Brunswick Street Lane, Edinburgh, EH7 5JG

💻 Or Online from the comfort of your home!

We have an offer for 2 spaces, so if you’re interested to know more, please send us a DM with the word OFFER and we’ll share the details.

This Sunday 1st November our walk and talk in nature returns after a few months of a hiatus.

My recovery is now sufficiently advanced that I can get back on the hills, so we’re doing a Munro!

This is open to anyone who wants to get into nature, go for a hike and get some wholesome connection!

📍Ben Lawers (Perthshire) ⛰️🥾

📆 Sunday 1st November 2026

⏰Meet at 9am (prompt)

🚘 At the National Trust for Scotland Ben Lawers car park (the hill road about 2.5 miles north of the A827 (Killin to Aberfeldy road))

🅿️ Parking: the car park is pay and display. It does fill up, so we want to be there in good time and start the walk at 9am.

🌿 The route: a well-made path up Beinn Ghlas, then onto the summit of Ben Lawers (1,214m), returning the same way.

It's roughly 11 km with around 900m of climbing, and typically takes 5 to 6 hours including breaks and conversation.

⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️

Dogs, partners, family all welcome.

🤝 What to expect?

Usual vibe - a walk and talk, connection, a laugh, a warm hug and who knows where the conversation might go. If you’ve had things on your mind, you can cleanse yourself on the walk and feel renewed afterwards ………😊

Some of us might stop off at a bar on the way home to watch the Hearts v Hibs cup game which starts at 3pm.

Leave a comment or Send us a DM if you’re keen to join.

Have a good week

Do you sometimes feel that you can get in your own way?

You want to move forward but something holds you back?

It leads to frustration and a sense that you’re not getting to where you want to be?

Don’t be too hard on yourself, there’s often something deeper than just not taking action.

Check out the video for more info on how to approach this situation so that you can feel like you’re moving forward.

The other key steps are these (ARCA):

Step 1️⃣ - AWARENESS

Become aware - notice your thoughts and feelings about the change or progress you’re trying to make. Understand what lies beneath the feeling!

Step 2️⃣ - REGULATE

Connect with your breath to calm any arousal in your nervous system and become present!

Breathe in through the nose for 4 seconds and out through the mouth for 6-8 seconds like your breathing out through a straw.

Step 3️⃣ - CHOOSE

Pick a small task that would help you move one step forward towards the end goal.

Step 4️⃣ - ACTION

Take immediate action on the task or schedule a non-negotiable time to do it in your calendar.

Have a great week.

What if things could be different sooner than you think?

⏰ In 1 days time our next group begin their 8 week mindfulness based living course.

The course lays the foundations for a deeper understanding of self, provides the tools and builds the inner resources to guide you towards a fulfilling life.

It’s the fork in the road moment for many that takes them off in a new direction towards a great level of wellbeing and new possibilities.

Once you develop these skills and have the practical tools, you’re better equipped to master your life.

Some of the benefits available, based on real life testimonials are mentioned in the video.

These benefits and more are accessible for anyone that steps onto the path and builds their own personal practice during and beyond the course.

Imagine how it would feel to be less anxious, less fearful, more calm, more confident, less reactive, less self critical and more at peace within yourself?

It’s there if you’re ready to move towards it!

The course includes:

➡️16hrs of training
➡️Course manual & audios for home practice
➡️Tutor support during & after
➡️Day Retreat

Available to attend in person or online from the comfort of your own home.

Overthinking is a very common habit that many people experience on a daily basis.

It can become exhausting and lead to paralysis, procrastination, avoidance and overwhelm.

Making decisions and gaining clarity can feel increasingly difficult.

For many this develops in childhood, as we weren’t all taught how to process feelings skilfully in the body and may not have had enough opportunities to express our feelings with a present and nurturing adult offering the attention that we needed.

Individual circumstances can vary and for some it may not have felt safe or welcome to express ourselves in the ways that we wanted to!

The result is a tendency to spend a lot of time in the mind which leads to overthinking.

For some people, it can then lead to labels like ADHD.

There is a way for us to learn how to overthink less.

It involves become more aware, more embodied and more resourced internally.

If this is something you’d love to evolve beyond, and you’d like some guidance based on your personal circumstances send a DM with the word ‘LOOP’ and I’ll point you in the right direction.
