During my working week I spend a lot of time dealing with mental health concerns. From anxiety, to depression to eating disorders amongst many others. Mental health is a serious and real issue. One in five Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any year. Often people may be too shy or worried about judgment to come forward and seek help, however, there is ample support if you need it. Your general practitioner can facilitate psychological therapy sessions, medication or even just regular support, because a problem shared is a problem halved.
If you or someone you know is struggling please pop by and see me in clinic for further help.
Unless you use it in a positive manner. It’s very easy to dwell on past experiences and ruminate about what could have or should have been done. Rather than spending your precious effort on this, use this energy to think about what you have learned and how you could overcome this in future. By doing this, not only will you learn to grow as a person but you’ll also be stronger.
Why not prioritise yourself with a health check this week. Checking your blood pressure is a great start. Having a high blood pressure often comes with little to no symptoms, but the risks of having a serious medical condition such as a heart attack or stroke are increased.
The good news is, if you do have high blood pressure this can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication bringing your risk down.

Reflection helps us to grow and learn from various situations.
The key is to focus on the bigger picture and its consequences. A good way to start is to think about why you did what you did, and why that’s important. By gaining this understanding we can learn from our experiences and grow as humans.
If you would like more help or information please pop by and see me in clinic.
