Often when we hear about expressing gratitude, we think of the people and things that we’re grateful for. Our friends, family, partners, home, car, food, etc. Of course it really does help put things into perspective even when you are depressed. When you think of your life without those things what comes up for you? BUT I would say to go even deeper when it comes to gratitude. So grab a journal!  Think about your accomplishments what did you achieve that day, how you handled your day was it positive or negative? How your own values came into play and why, which strengths you’re grateful for,  what you’re proud of , what you’re excited about, and what’s good in your life right now. These details help us fight depression.  Keeping journal of the little and not so little things that make you feel grateful works in the same way as keeping a note of the little things you have done to help others it creates a 'happiness bank'. Most of the time we forget to be grateful for our

Managing stress is often a battle we face with the struggle to cope, and common model of coping is "keeping above water." Every now and then the food rises and coping skills supposedly being able to hold your breath until the flood subsides, most of us do this when we shouldn't. However, it doesn't work like that. Our perception of it is more like there's no water to keep head above. Being able to see things in this way requires a change in how we see things in the world as changing your mind positive thinking. There's a common phrase "shit happens" misery is optional this means you should stay in a job, relationship or situation you hate, feeling flood rising is your choice! You could ask yourself what has stopped me from making the next move? Mostly likely fear of course, I know the feeling myself the government of New Zealand doesn't care who they put in the work world they just want less people on the benefits this can cause us anxiety not kn

Choose to become the person you want to be Embracing who you should be not someone you are not Introduction Hey there I’m Lori your coach and I have this amazing story about how I become the person I am today. I struggled with social anxiety and judgement of others who were judging me as a person, I had to find a way to get past that until I fully embraced who I was not be someone I wasn’t meant to be. I hope you discover who you truly are embracing the true self within. Who do you want to become? It’s a pretty good question eh? Who do you choose to be? Positive or negative? Most of us want to be positive people but it can be pretty hard for some people who have never been shown how they can think, act and behave like a positive person, that’s why CBT therapy is important to teach. To be a “good person” is about finding your true self who you were created to be by the universe. In order to be this “good person” we have to change how we think and behave which is the positi

It’s ok to be selfish sometimes  I read the life changing magic of not giving a fuck by Sarah Knight and it was ok some parts were good in the book. But if you taking time "away" from kids, wife or family member's for a few hours making room for hobbies and creative goals for yourself, it's important! Some people don't always fully understand why being selfish is okay for most of us, the down fall in society is not our problem. I believe in being selfish helps us be a better person, to pursue your healthy lifestyle and well-being that can be a good thing for you AND everyone In your life. If you're happy and fulfilled that makes you automatically a better person to be around you can't give to others if there's nothing to give, can you? Giving less fucks about things helps us to improve our lives for the best. I highly recommend you read the magic of not giving a fuck by Sarah Knight the best book I ever read! I hope this inspires you to make positiv
