12 minute Short Sitting Meditation
Head over to my SoundCloud to very guided through a mindful sitting practice.

We usually push away from difficulty.

In making that a habit instead, this avoidance, we usually end up causing ourself more hassle, pain, frustration and generally, we'll feel, well s**t.

GRAIN is a brilliant practice for learning how to be with difficult moments, situations and people to diffuse the situation and build resiliency.

This doesn't mean we're weathering a storm or forcing ourselves to stay put. It's more a way of grounding and investigating a little, and moving away from the story of difficulty that's on a constant loop and impacting your life and headspace.

Interested in practicing it?
Head over to my SoundCloud to listen to my guided recording for GRAIN, along with shorter and longer recordings for everything from a body scan to sitting meditation.

Big love,
Grace

🌿Let's talk about taking time out👇

How essential it is.
How foreign it feels in this always on world we live in.

I took 2 days and 2 nights just for me and Inis.
We drove up until the Wicklow hills and valleys and rested, reconnected, lazed about and wandered through forests and on empty beaches.

I have built this habit of pushing myself, and feeling lazy and apprehensive about taking an actual f**king break for myself. I was going to spend Easter building my new website for my mindfulness work. Making the most of the long weekend and time off.

And I have never been so thankful for the voice iny head that asked "why do you feel you can't take any time for yourself? Where the hell do you think energy and creativity to share and give to others is going to come from?". In that moment, it felt so logical. How can I possibly think I'll be able to be creative, think clearly or deliver great courses and coaching if I don't look after myself.

Connecting with nature. Staying off my phone. Walking for hours with Inis and laughing my ass off at how happy he was to see the sea again. Crying as we reached Magheramore beach and realising just how much I had missed the sea. Whooping and singing into the sea while I skinny dipped. Harvesting nettles for tea. Not cooking and buying delicious and fresh food just for me. Falling asleep on the couch by the fire watching The Office and cuddling Inis in the evening. All I could think was "s**t yeah!".

Screw the guilt. The to-do list can wait.

I drove back feeling restored, inspired by land and sea, and loved up from so much quality time with Inis.

🌿This has all got me thinking about retreats🌿

I want to organise one called Deep Rest for those that need a slow pace of stillness and quiet.

The other is Disconnect to Reconnect for those who are always connected online with work and phone habits but can't remember the last time they truly connected with other people, in person, sharing, laughing, storytelling and experiencing nature.

Mindful moment

Stopping
Looking
At the light
The books
The shadow of plants of the windowsill
The angle of the edges of the window frame
The colours
The softness

The stories of all those things intertwined.

I'll still never forget listening to Alanis Morissette's podcast when she said that maladaptive behavior as an adult stems from the younger version of that adult adapting in the best way they knew how.

It was a lightbulb moment for me in understanding how awareness combined with compassion could truly change things for the better. Instead of beating ourselves up for our habits of being in unhealthy relationships (note how I've added that in twice for good measure), self-isolating, disconnecting, losing our s**t... These are all maladaptive ways that we are trying to cope with stress.

Awareness is the key. It's the first step for a reason.

Our habits and coping mechanisms are drawn out from our unwanted and difficult emotions.
Social media and society will have you think that we should be smiling, happy, successful people every single fu***ng day. When in reality, life is a mad mix of the ups and the downs, the pleasant and unpleasant, love and anger and confusion and joy and overwhelm.

All of it is the human condition.
All of it.

So here's to being aware.

I'll go into healthy responses to stress too, don't worry.

Do any of these coping strategies sound familiar? Let me know in the comments.

It's been a busy few weeks.
Classes. Workshops. Events. Courses. Other work.

And I am so thankful.
Similar to a messy room being the state of a mind that's not fully rested, a busy Instagram feed is a giveaway that I've been busy, and it's time to rest, go inward and mind myself too.

More nature.
Less phone time.
No laptop.

And more Inis. This loving, loveable creature.
He's been patient with my these last few weeks.

So we're making the most of Easter and heading away into nature for a few days. Lots of forests (read branches) and beach walks (read digging holes in the sand and finding big rocks to carry). There's a fire and I've got my book ready.

In the past, my habit was always to push more, do more, not stop. I can see that I won't be able to be creative, give to my classes, and develop new workshops if I'm not resourced, if I'm not minding myself and resting.

I'm thinking about summer workshops and river swims, more community and online classes, a waiting list for the next stress-reduction course, a weekend retreat towards the end of the summer, and a 1:1 coaching package.

I'm excited these are all in the works.

So I need the rest, the regroup, the cuddles with Inis.
Plus the weather has been crap, and after 6 months of winter, my body feels confused why we're not outside more.

Mainly, it's some quality time with Inis, the best dog and sidekick in the world.

Always learning from the wise and goofy hound.

Big love,
Grace xx

Let's talk stress triggers👇

We all have them.
Work. Relationships. Unexpected events. Situations outside of our control. Society. Family. The list goes on.

Become aware of what your stress triggers are and creating adaptive strategies to manage these inevitable triggers can go a long way to support your mental, emotional and physical health.

You see, stress triggers lead to internal stressors that get embedded in time. We have habitual reactions to our habitual stressors.

These can be both attitudes and thoughts.

So I might make a mistake at work.

And automatically, I'll start thinking that I HAVE TO stay behind to fix the mistake, even though I'm exhausted because I've been overworking so that everything is perfect (ATTITUDES). On top of that, I'm telling myself that I'm useless, I can't get anything right, my manager is going to be so pi**ed off and impatient with me now and I'll never be good enough because I always mess up (THOUGHTS).

THERE IS ANOTHER WAY
Multiple ways to manage these stressors differently.

I can learn to become aware of my stress trigger(s).
Maybe even having a game plan for dealing with the feedback.
Noticing the story I tell myself with stressor thoughts.
Choosing to respond, with practice, rather than react.
Having a conversation with myself about my reactions.
Having a conversation with my manager about their approach to mistakes.

Mindfulness practices and principles teach us how to become aware of our triggers, habits, thoughts and behaviours so we can step outside the bubble of reactivity and find a new way to respond to inevitable stress and change.
