What to eat for Mental Health and Well-being
Knowing what to eat for mental health and well-being can be confusing. The more I read about diets, the more confused I used to become. My simple uptake on everything I have read, heard and studied about dietary advice - along with the most recent world wide agreed dietary advice from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAD) is below:

Love and Connection
Happy Valentine's Day to you all today.
Whether you are single or with the love of your life - I hope you got to experience a little bit of love today.
We can create moments of love and connection as we go about our day - a smile at a stranger, letting someone in through the traffic, paying someone a compliment.
We can prepare or share a meal, bake a cake or simply be present for someone in need.
We can experience moments of love and connection simply by giving our fur baby a brush, noticing the colour of the sunset, or listening to the sound of a bird call.

How about loving ourselves this Valentines Day?

Organisations that rely on charity and donations may not be able to support speakers, educators or professionals to come into their organisations for education and support.

Mental Health Life Coach
Say Hi to Helen Duyvestyn of One Life - Mental Health & Wellbeing Coach in New Zealand
Why do we need mental health coaching?
Our minds can be very complex little things, can't they?! We are all so hard on ourselves while putting every single person above our own needs - until we realise we have lost our own identity in pursuit of making everyone else happy.
We eat when we can, our sleep suffers, we run ourselves into the ground taking on anything and everything people ask of us, and we end up exhausted and feeling like something is wrong with us? Somewhere we lost the ability to say "no".
Sound familiar? Yes, we hear you. I hear you!
