#bekindtoyourself is my message for today

is my message for today. . When we try to set goals for ourselves that are often not achievable, we wonder why - especially when we are recovering from trauma. . Trauma can manifest in many ways and can take us by surprise blindsiding us - and create an unexpected emotional rollercoaster - leaving us exhausted, unable to concentrate or focus for any length of time and also unexplicably weepy at the slightest triggers - whether it is simply a friend's kindness towards us or a metaphorical mountain climbed that day for the first time. . Trauma is an emotional response from a serious shock experienced by our bodies and can create levels of PTSD causing these heightened emotions that leave us wondering why we are like this. Major surgery can be one such cause. . I only discovered this today from my surgeon who explained that it can take up to 3 months to recuperate mentally (not physically) from such major surgery. This is not just the effects of the anaesthetic and drugs etc but the extreme trauma the body has experienced. . I had only considered the physical aspect of recovery especially as my mental wellness has always been a given. . So even if you are usually focused and driven in your daily life - achieving your daily goals and more - cut yourself some slack if you are recovering from any sort of trauma and give your body and your mind time to heal.. . .

I ventured into London’s West End yesterday for my first facial after 6 months

I ventured into London's West End yesterday for my first facial after 6 months. I had been recommended to try Dr Rasha's clinic in Mayfair. . I was temperature checked on arrival, the reception staff were behind screens and wearing masks, and masks were obligatory in the waiting areas and for therapists. . The clinic was extremely professional, clean and somewhere any new anxious client would feel completely confident and comfortable, in these post-lockdown Covid times, to go to be treated. . Here I am in pic 1, all masked up, with the lovely owner- Dr Rasha aesthetics physician and clinic director, and in pic 2 here I am after my facial with my 65-year old happy shiny face that loved the professional tlc and pampering it had just received. . I will be revisiting again very soon. Thank you for my lovely afternoon. . (Btw, this isnt an ad, I only write and post about places and products that I believe in and make a difference to my life and may inspire others). . . . @drrashaclinic

Finally a chance to relax in the sun by the pool

Finally a chance to relax in the sun by the pool. In the Isle of Wight, UK. It's important to find time for yourself- even 5 minutes- however busy you are with your work, your family, your chores, your day to day life. If you don't look after you who else is going to? .
