‘You can’t hate yourself into someone you love’ This is true, but where do you go from here? This week's newsletter is a look into how you can move from knowing you're being mean to yourself, to being a little kinder to yourself. buff.ly/3TXVjca
This week's newsletter is about making your warning signs visible, and then figuring out how to respond to them in small concrete ways. Low energy interventions early on can be really powerful #LittleByLittle buff.ly/4cJwHLB
Here's a video explaining how I made a graph of self care vs energy. It's deeply unscientific but it's really helpful in outsourcing the decision-making process on what self care to do, which is often a hurdle in times of stress. #StressAwarenessMonth #SelfCare #SelfCareCoach
New talk! I've been learning a lot about empathy in my journy to become a therapist, and I'll be sharing tips and tricks to deepen your empathy practice at @RomaniaTesting Empathy allows us to have deeper and more productive conversations and is a vital communication skill
April is #StressAwarenessMonth, with the theme #LittleByLittle, so this month I'm going to be sharing some llittle self care tips and tricks to help you break down self care into manageable chunks. This week's newsletter is all about energy vs self care: buff.ly/3VDuhs1
Occasionally, I remove the paywall from a piece of writing, to give you all a hint of what you get if you get a paid sub (as little as £5 a month!), and because I want to share the pieces I'm proud of. This one is about boundaries and closure. buff.ly/4aaMHob
This week's newsletter is on value-based self care, and how linking your self care activities to your values can really help you both get to know yourself, but find restorative, grounded self care. buff.ly/4agzfPp
This week's post is on manifestation, and how I'm currently use it to help plan a week. How successful I'll be remains to be seen, but I'm feeling grounded, present, and on top of things. Read more on buttondown: buff.ly/436S84V #Manifest #KindAccountability
Week one: what are we looking forward to as we move into this new season? I'm looking forward to lighter nights (especially as I do an evening class once a week!) and the bloom of spring flowers on walks. What are you looking forward to?
I don't know about you folks but I'm enjoying the changing season, the lighter mornings and nights and the promise of warmth. This month over on the discord it's all about reflecting and prepping as we move into a new phase of the year! #reflection #SelfCareCoach
This week's post is about managing the end of a therapy session. It's about how the smallest of boundaries and interactions can have deeper meanings. I love digging into how my actions can have bigger effects on a client and their patterns of relating. buff.ly/4bVhreu
Really love today's newsletter. Started off as one thing but ended up being something else, and I love that process. I love starting something and following the thread until I find a message, it's my favourite way to write. #SelfCare #Boundaries buttondown.email/SelfCareBackpa…
Want to invest in your self care this year? I've got spaces for some Self Care Coaching! I use a person-centred approach which means I follow your lead, asking questions and helping you find your path. Book here buff.ly/3u1Td0P
When I started working on my self talk, I didn't really 'get' affirmations. I didn't understand how to use them, they all seemed vague. So I did more research and figured out how to use them in a way that works for me. I talk all about it in my course: bit.ly/SCBAffirmation…
Your challenge for this week/month is to find something to compliment yourself on. When was the last time you complimented yourself with no caveats, no ifs or buts? Read more about why complimenting yourself is important in this week's newsletter:buff.ly/3UCnK0h
February over at the SCB discord and as it's February, this month is all about romaticising your life. Week one: Compliment yourself!
Exactly!

Anxiety is a background process that occasionally eats 100 percent of your CPU.
So today the next chapter in my career commences. Wish me luck...
The more I come to terms with my body and it's limitations, the more I resent spending time mourning my body because of what it looked like when now I don't care what it looks like as long as it works.
@CareBackpack Well, if you did and they looked at you funny, you can always shake it off 😂
@CareBackpack I appreciate your support Gem 🥰
Omg THEY CAN BE TAUGHT, HE UNDERSTANDS NOW
Why stop with lunch when we have breakfast and dinner too? Why stop with kids? Why stop with food?
“Covid is over.” “So I’ve heard.” “So why you wearing a mask?” “Tuberculosis.” (Long pause, steps back): “Well you shouldn’t be in public exposing others.” “My mask protects you. Besides, tuberculosis is only a Biosafety Level-3 airborne pathogen, just like covid.” (Blank stare)
Am I the only one who didn’t have an emotional reaction to this quote? I feel like it was supposed to be some Big Thing & I was just like…what? I liked the movie! This was just not moving to me. The most moving part was Barbie on the bench just witnessing humans being humans.
“we mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they've come.”
+1 on walking!
This week's substack is on how your self care, and your relationship with self care activites can change as you change: walking and the changing nature of self care selfcarebackpack.substack.com/p/on-walking-a…
@CareBackpack @mcrdevcon I picked this one up from #DiSHMCr !
I'm loving this concept .. @CareBackpack

These posts from @CareBackpack @Gem_Hill are such a support for me. They help me remember to stop my busy busy busy self and do something good for myself. open.substack.com/pub/selfcareba…
Great idea
This week's free #Substack is about planning for your bad days on your good days. I have an emergency 'kit' that I keep maintained for a bad day (it's more a set of separate things that I need when I'm struggling that I always keep ready). selfcarebackpack.substack.com/p/plan-for-bad…
@Gem_Hill @CareBackpack I used to reach out to people for services at my last place, because I'd seen their posts on linked groups relevant to a topic I needed a consultant in. Or someone I'd seen speaking on a panel or event.
@Gem_Hill @CareBackpack Depends on how you go in. If it's spray and pray, it probably won't work. If it's personalised and professional, you have more of a chance. I get a lot via word of mouth, rather than LinkedIn, start with people you know and ask them if they know anyone who might be interested.
