Mental Health Monday week 13

Hi Thinking out loud here xx :D


This week I am writing from a hotel room in Christchurch New Zealand, I am at the beginning of my two-week mandatory isolation. So for the next little while, the next few blog posts will be probably long as I have really nothing else to do while I am in iso. I will do a full blog post later for what it is like so far.


For now, though, let’s start with a little breather. We will do three breath, as every week please do miss this bit if you have any breathing problems where you can’t do deep breaths or hold your breath.

First breath in through your nose, and hold for five 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and out through your mouth, hold that for five 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

Second breath in through your nose and hold for five 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and out through your mouth hold that for five 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

Third and final breath in through your nose, hold for six 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and last breath out through your mouth hold for another six 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

Now please find your natural breathing pattern as we carry on with this week’s Mental Health Monday, I hope you enjoy.


Let’s grab a snack and a drink find a comfy seat and let’s have a chat.


I know I’ve spoken a lot or at least it feels like I have spoken a lot about this year, how it’s affecting us or maybe in some cases isn’t really much of a change. But I think it's important to acknowledge those changes and to know that it is ok if we don’t handle those changes as we maybe feel we should. Everything that is happening is completely new, no one has gone through a pandemic like this before, so with levels constantly changing it’s ok to not be feeling ok, it’s hard for everyone and please know that you are not alone, in feeling not ok. Remember there is always someone to talk to, someone to help and you never have to feel alone.


Sorry, this isn’t as long as I thought it would be just a little bit of a reminder today, also sorry this is being uploaded on Thursday and not Monday, I will upload this week Thursday blog on Friday instead, I hope you are all doing weel and coping the best you can with this ever-changing year, thank you as always for reading I will see you back here tomorrow.


Love always Thinking out loud xx :D
