Music is an international language 🎶
There aren’t many things that are universally understood, music is one of them. It helps to lift the spirits, reduce stress by taking you to another dimension or even help you loose calories by dancing away.
What type of music do you like and why?

How do you unwind?
During these uncertain times, it is important to look after your own well-being by practicing self-care. These are activities that we choose to do on a regular basis to enhance our health. It could be as simple as going for walk, talking to a friend or just hitting some notes on a piano. By allowing your mind and body to rest, it helps to reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Mental Health Week 🧠
1 in 5 Australians between the ages of 16-85 will experience a mental disorder in any year. The most common mental illnesses include depression, anxiety and substance misuse. Mental health not only affects adults but it also affects our youth of today.
Being a GP, mental health covers over half of my consults in any given day and the commonest feeling? Feeling alone and isolated.
We are so fortunate that mental health is no longer ‘taboo’ and there is so much help out there from support groups to psychologists and medication. The hardest step is recognising the need to ask for help. This mental health week, I am encouraging those of you who may be affected and haven’t made a connection for help to make a brave step forward. You’re not alone and I’d love to help you on your journey back to good health.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

New Years blues? 😞
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed with New Years resolutions, feeling the financial strain or are simply stressed, speaking to someone can help with thinking clearly and achieving realistic goals.
If you or a family member is affected by mental health you could be entitled to a mental health care plan under Medicare which allows you to speak with a psychologist.
