Let’s just be a little bit Mindful 🌿
We’ve all heard the saying right just Breathe,take a breath will you especially when we are feeling stressed or Anxious well actually there’s a massive reason as to why as it’s not just a saying in that moment if you can just really concentrate on your breathing on every inhale and exhale it does so much more not only will it help reduce our stress levels it reduces our heart rate makes us concentrate on just the one thing in that moment stops all the thoughts racing and just focus.
🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿
Of course,mental well-being does not mean being happy all the time,and it does not mean you won’t experience negative or painful emotions,such as grief,loss,or failure,which are a part of normal life. However,whatever your age,mindfulness can help you lead a mentally healthier life and improve your wellbeing.
✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to the present moment,using techniques like meditation,breathing and yoga. It helps us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings so that,instead of being overwhelmed by them,we’re better able to manage them.
You may not be able to drag a mat out or find the time to meditate 🧘♀️ but we can all find the time to BREATHE because Mental Health matters no matter who you are and we are here to support YOU 🌿
🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿
🌿 Payment Options 🌿
We have been trying for months to set up additional payment methods on our website and have been in touch with the owners but are still struggling hence the move to another site which we are hoping to have all set up by the end of next week
✨✨🌿✨✨🌿✨✨🌿✨✨🌿✨✨🌿✨✨🌿✨
In the meantime if you don’t have PayPal and would like to make a purchase then just DM us to arrange your order we are more than happy to help in anyway we can 💚

Mindful 🧠 Monday
How easy is it to rush through life without thinking of much ???
Paying more attention to the present-your own feelings,thoughts and the world around you-can improve your mental wellbeing🌿
Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better. You can take steps to develop it in your own life.🌿
Mindfulness involves us paying attention to what is going on inside and outside ourselves moment by moment,it’s easy to stop noticing the world around us,it’s also easy to lose touch with the way our bodies are feeling and to live in our own heads getting caught up in our thoughts without stopping to notice how those thoughts are driving our emotions🌿
So just STOP,take a BREATH and out and then repeat and remember you got this because you are strong brave and fearless🌿
🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿😁🌿🌿🧠🌿🌿🧠🌿
Happy Earth 🌍 Day
As the concern of how plastic and synthetic materials has on the environment continues to grow. Could the use of natural fibres - such as wool - reduce this impact?
Wool fibres have natural properties that can out-perform synthetic fibres.
The natural crimp and elasticity of wool can endure constant wear and compression and resist crushing and matting, which helps it withstand continuous wear and allows products to be enjoyed for longer whilst staying like new, with wool products only getting better with time.
"You do not wear your wool bandana,Snoods or jumpers out You wear them in"
Micro plastic pollution is growing alarmingly within our oceans, with 20% to 35% of the micro plastics in the ocean from clothing products with the vast majority of these produced from washing clothes.
With one polyester garment producing over 1900 fibres per wash (International Wool Textile Organisation) Yet, wool products require less washing and also don't release tiny plastic fibres into our water ways. On the whole, wool uses less water to wash and produce.
So why is wool a better choice? Let me explain a little,
“Products made out of synthetic fibres can take up to 40 years to degrade, while wool - a natural fibre - degrades in a fraction of that time. As wool is made up of keratin, a natural protein similar to the protein that is in human hair, which can be broken down naturally without causing an environmental hazard.”
Wool biodegrades naturally, so it doesn't accumulate in landfill and oceans. Wool will still shed fibres during washing, but these fibres will break down naturally, without causing any harmful effects to the environment.
And wool will also reduce waste to landfill as it decomposes in soil in a matter of months or years, whilst slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth and works as a highly effective soil fertiliser
This presents a really compelling case, particularly when we consider that wool's natural properties support less frequent, lower impact washing, and provide greater durability.
Definitely something to think about next time you’re buying a new jumper,snood or bandana right

✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨✨🧠✨
Hi everyone,I’m Shelby and this is my Mumma Sharna’s story❤️
The hardest part of the many years l spent supporting people with their mental health, wasn't the complexities behind helping them identify ways to live independently with their individual diagnosed conditions. It was the training that l was sent on that made me open my eyes to my own mental health.
How can you support others when you realise that you aren't supporting yourself? It's a frightening thing sitting in a classroom & suddenly realising that you have a problem. The penny didn't just drop, it came crashing down. I was the person in crisis. After that my whole world had to change.
I had to learn to manage my daily skills, what triggers were causing my own difficulties & how to keep myself mentally well. As a former Mental Health Support Worker, they called that Lived Experience. I called it Recovery.
Services are being reduced especially in the Community. Services that give people that vital support that they need to manage their mental health.
I was lucky enough, when l was in crisis, to be surrounded by trained professionals to help me have the confidence to regain control in my life. When you're living with a mental health problem, having access to the right information is vital & MIND Charity is working hard in hope that no one should ever have to face this alone.
For me l was in the right place, at the right time. Would l be here now if it weren't for people talking/supporting me with my mental health? I'm not so sure.
Continued ☝️
Our story has many facets to it, as I am sure so many of ours do. My parents divorced when I was 5yrs & the separation was bitter, angry and painful. It had a most profound effect on my personality and life, shaped my character, for better or worse. I battled with insecurity, self worth, never speaking up if something upset me, keeping everything, no matter the personal mental health cost. What it did give me though, was deep empathy & strength.
I grew up to then witness a cruel and unforgiving mental health decline of my paternal grandma (which went undiagnosed, a sign of her era) and of a very much loved close family member who was diagnosed with bi-polar at 21yrs… bi-polar took over and robbed them of their youth, their life, their ambitions, their everything…. 35 yrs of medication, so many hospitalisations that we have lost count, 3 failed su***de attempts (one extremely heartbreaking) but still they smile and love us unconditionallly…its so hard to have to live through it… it’s so hard also to watch it from the side lines and not know what to do to help…
