Message right outside my front door this morning! One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that we’ll have tomorrow to do stuff. It’s uncomfortable to think otherwise isn’t it? #Mindfulness #impermanence

After 18 months of writing (and parenting!) I'm delighted to have sent my book 'Smooth Sailing with Your Teen: Parenting Teens Mindfully on Their Journey to Adulthood' for the final edit!! Mindfulness, compassion, willingness & values on our parenting journey. #mindfulness #act

One of the wonderful aspects of pausing and taking a step back, is recognising that each new moment brings a new opportunity to choose our most helpful response ✨✨✨#choicepoint #mindfulness #ACT

@craigwriter Must check out the hedge maze in Glenrothes! Didn’t know that either.

I think of acceptance as more of a 3-stage process than an action. Firstly, we notice a visitor knocking at the door; then we open the door to investigate, instead of hiding or ignoring; and then we invite them in, offer them a seat and maybe a drink...

Our new pup is demonstrating the tug-of-war ACT metaphor really well! When I drop the toy, I drop the struggle and it doesn’t use up so much energy 😅🐶 #acceptanceandcommitment #dropthestruggle #mindfulness #podcast

“It’s all downhill from here...” A thought that made me smile this morning, on a challenging run.

Usually when we say that, it’s a prediction of doom and gloom. This morning, “all downhill from here” was an awesome thought to have!! 😁

Really enjoyed this course earlier in the year. Louise Hayes and Joe Ciarrochi do an amazing job of sharing ACT with young people through DNA-v! Wish I had learned ACT skills as a teen! Highly recommend...

Adolescents face unique challenges and stresses as they find their place in the world.
It has never been more important to have an accessible framework for helping them cultivate their strengths and learn how to handle life’s pressures in productive ways.

Road trip with my teen yesterday... the BEST conversation and time spent together in a long time!! Highly recommend sitting side-by-side and just chatting. Discovered more than when we’re either side of a closed bedroom door! 😁
