Take A Moment With Mary

Good day to you all,

I'm excited to be joining you all and hope you take a few minutes out of your day to relax, have a cuppa and join me for a catch up.

I'm experiencing Burdekin snow (or cane trash depending on who you ask!) for the first time. I know two things for sure - don't put washing out on the line and don't wear white when it's Burdekin snow season!

With this in mind and the fact that there is a lot more smoke about, this time of year can bring out allergies and increase the risk of respiratory infections.

If you have asthma, it's important to see your G.P for an asthma management plan, having an asthma management plan could make all the difference, especially if you live on your own.

We often think of our health only as a physical entity but more and more we are recognising the importance of mental health too. There are a lot of free online courses on meditation, mindfulness etc. 

When I qualified as a Master hypnotist and hypnotherapist a few years ago I witnessed first-hand how powerful the subconscious mind is. 

We have the inate ability to ease our stresses, traumas and mental anguish within ourselves. It's truly humbling to watch a person break free from these chains following a hypnotherapy session. 

You can practice these calming meditation sessions for free, they're all there on the internet. 

In a world of anxiety, disconnectedness and isolation take time to stop, reconnect with friends and family and just breathe. 

Try not to inhale the Burdekin snow though!

Until next time, look after yourselves and each other.
Mary Torpey
