It feels to me that nowadays, people need permission to allow themselves to literally relax and laugh.
At the beginning of the year, I realised that hitting 10, 000 steps a day was a tall order, particularly when I spend most of my day sitting down with clients. If I am not with clients, then I will be sitting at my desk, writing blogs, Facebook pages, updating my website or indeed reading both leisure and work related.
If I was to ask you to close your eyes and either imagine yourself before you had a tablet or smart phone, or indeed if these have always been part of your life, to imagine them not being in life, how might that feel?
It never ceases to amaze me how often I hear (in and out of the counselling room) they made me feel like that, or it was because of them, that I felt irritated.
You may be thinking what has counselling and writing a contract got in common? Well, we often have ‘contracts’ with people which are unwritten contracts.
As I went for my early morning walk, I came upon a mushroom, amongst many others on the same walk. I noticed how it was being eaten with varying degrees and this got me thinking about my clients – past and present and indeed future.
And yes, I do really think it is an art! It takes time to practice and similar to art where art is a wide and varied spectrum of different nuances, learning to be Good Enough will carry through the different elements of your life, be it home, work and with friends to name a few.
First things first, I am not saying that everyone has a ‘lemon’ in their mouth. You may be one of those people who always has a strawberry, which I totally applaud and try hard to keep a strawberry in mine too!
As I came up with that heading for this blog, I did ask myself if that is a term still in use, or maybe discarded or renewed with a more up-to-date version?
Feel free to explore my other pages, as this may help answer any questions you may have. Or indeed use the messenger service to ask me a question or to discuss what lead you to look up counselling.
I have helped numerous people through my counselling service and you could be another one,
Kind regards, Sophie Rantzau
Not ready to chat yet? I have written a self-help book about separation and 'blending' into a new family.
