Ask Helen

🌼 Living a Life of Positivity 🌼 As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, I'd like to share a bit about how Positivity® influences my life. There have been times when challenging situations have seriously threatened my resilience, moving countries, stressful work, becoming a mum, becoming self-employed, dealing with teenagers, family illness, entering perimenopause! I can distinctly recall times when these day-to-day situations would dampen my spirits and by extension, affect the mood of those around me. By stopping to gain some perspective, and find a way forward, I’ve been able to leverage my Positivity®, and turn constraints into creativity, and frustration into motivation. This strength is more than just a mindset; it’s a way of life that radiates through every interaction. It brings out the best in you and those around you. If you’re curious about how embracing Positivity® can shape your character and success, let’s chat! #StrengthsCoach #PositivityInAction #PersonalStory #PositiveLeadership #InspireOthers #AskHelen #CliftonStrengths @Gallup

Forgiveness isn't just an action; it’s a powerful release. In my own journey, I found that recognising the emotions I have experienced and forgiving those who’ve hurt me is a liberating experience. Forgiveness is not about them; it’s about you and your peace. Let go, and thrive! #PersonalGrowth #Forgiveness #Freedom #EmotionalWellness #AskHelen

Did you know that unresolved emotions can have a profound impact on our daily lives? Everyday tasks are more difficult and take more of our internal resources and resilience. As a fully trained Edu-Therapy Specialist, I’ve seen first hand how acknowledging and releasing these emotions can lead to incredible personal growth and happiness. #EmotionalWellness #EduTherapy #ExpertAdvice #MentalHealth #AskHelen

🎓💖 Proud Parent Moment 💖🎓 As exam season wraps up here in the UK, I find myself filled with a bittersweet mix of emotions. My amazing youngest daughter has just finished her final high school exams and celebrated with friends at their Leaver's Assembly yesterday. While they now wait until the end of August for their results, I've realised that this is not just the end of a season for her—it's a significant shift for me as a parent too. 🏫🌟 Washing her last set of school uniforms symbolised the closing of one chapter and the exciting beginning of another. These transitions can bring a wave of conflicting emotions: the joy and excitement for new beginnings, mixed with a tender sadness as childhood phases out. 🌈🌀 As an Edu-Therapy Specialist, I see these moments as opportunities for growth and reflection. It's essential to honour our feelings and understand that these transitions, though sometimes challenging, pave the way for amazing new adventures both for our children and for us as parents. 🌱💫 Cherish these milestone moments and embrace the journey ahead with an open heart. 💚 #ProudParent #EndOfExams #NewBeginnings #TransitionJourney #EduTherapy #EmotionalWellness #BittersweetMoments #Parenthood #askhelen

🌱🥕 Happy National Eat Your Veggies Day! 🥦🍅 Raise your hand if your parents used to say "Eat your broccoli!" Well, maybe they didn't realise at the time, but they were right! What you eat can directly impact how you feel? As an emotional wellness coach, I can’t stress enough the importance of a healthy gut-mind connection. 🌈✨ Eating a rainbow of colourful veggies not only nourishes your body but also supports your emotional well-being. The nutrients found in fresh vegetables can boost your mood, reduce anxiety, and promote overall mental health. 🌽🥬 Today, let's celebrate by adding more vibrant veggies to our plates and feeding both our bodies and minds the nutrients they crave. Let's make our gut happy and our minds even happier! 🌟💚 What's your favourite vegetable? #EatYourVeggiesDay #EmotionalWellness #GutMindConnection #HealthyLiving #VibrantHealth #ColorfulVeggies #personalcoaching #askhelen #menopause #perimenopause

Being alone doesn't always equate to loneliness. Solitude can be a time for self-reflection, creativity, and personal growth. It's essential to embrace moments of solitude and use them as opportunities to recharge and reconnect with ourselves. It's okay to enjoy your own company and find peace in solitude. #SelfReflection #lonelinessawareness #askhelen #EduTherapy #emotionalwellness MHFA England®#marmaladetrust
