A to Z of coping skills
Hey readers,
I think more then ever we need to look after our mental health especially as we are going through a lockdown.
I have devised A to Z list of coping skills that may be of use. I use some more than others so you have to test out what works for you.
The key message in this post is to make time for you and look after your mental health.
A - be assertive - learn the art of saying no without feeling guilty.
B - breathing is so important and as someone who suffers from panic attacks learning to use your lungs fully will really help calm you down when you are panicking.

Why New Year resolutions are bad!
Hey readers,
Well, it's finally 2021 if you hadn't noticed. All across social media and on the telly there is the whole idea of 'New Year, New Me' message. I personally think New Year's resolutions are a waste of time.
Here are some reasons why New Year's resolutions are pointless.
1. High expectations.
I think a lot of people aim high with their goal setting which in turn means most of the time it is unachievable. Therefore makes you more like to want to quit within a couple of weeks.
This can be damaging to your mental health and could potentially cause destructive behaviour eg to want to lose 2/3 lbs a week. Then you don't achieve that goal for whatever reason because let's face it the average a person can lose is about a pound per week is much more achievable.
You set the high goals then means when you don't achieve the goal can cause you to feel negative and hopeless. Therefore resulting in the risk of wanting to cause damage by binge eating to comfort yourself.
I know I have done this in the past and then what happened was I actually but more weight on.
Obviously now I am not into dieting to lose weight for me it is more about my relationship with food. But it was a simple example to use.
2. Pressure.
There is too much pressure with New Year's resolutions - we aim high and want to get to goal so fast that we forget to remember that sometimes changing behaviour takes time, you make mistakes you learn and move forward.
The moment we fail we think that is it but you know what life is not linear and sometimes mistakes and that is the best way to learn.
This is because we set the bar so high and expect behaviour at a certain time. If we don't get what we aim for then it causes us to feel demotivated as a direct response in the all or nothing attitude.
This is because we restrict ourselves to the extreme that it means you constantly trying to tell your self you can't have anything which is more harmful.
Teaching yourself moderation is much more important and learn to reduce things in small steps rather than one great big no.
What do you think about New Year's resolutions? Do you like them or dislike? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.
