  returned to work too soon and this led me deeper into the depths of my depression."I was challenged by my therapist to find something to focus on, a hobby or wellbeing opportunity."Adrift from work and undergoing psychotherapy I was challenged by my therapist to find something to focus on, a hobby or wellbeing opportunity.

I left that session and headed to Waterstones. I’d taken up carving following an earlier episode of depression where Ray Mears and Bruce Parry accompanied me on my journey to recovery from my lounge.

This time I found myself drawn to a book around another heritage craft, spoon carving, or as a friend called it, ‘a hobby for the apocalypse’.In the three weeks I managed back at work for the NHS I had supported a young man on to a conservation daytrip to Tarn Howes, The Lake District with Mind in Furness and the National Trust.

Renew your Mind with a Mental Spring Clean
Spring is the season for new beginnings, a time to renew and recharge.  But more importantly just as we do a regular ‘spring clean’ of our home to declutter our personal space we should also be focused on a ‘spring cleanup for our mind’ as well.   After all, it is your mental thoughts that create your life’s destinyDeclutter your mind, what a fabulous idea!  Begin to rid yourself of any negative thoughts and behaviours you have harbored from the past in order to live a fulfilling life now.   Let’s use a seed we plant in the earth as an analogy.  With enough nurturing and care that seed will bloom into a beautiful plant or flower.   However, at the same time if you are not taking care of it weeds will begin to grow and the plant will die off and wither away from a lack of attention. What I do know for a fact is ‘thoughts are things’.    When you plant positive thoughts into your magnificent mind you will create positive outcomes.   Similar to a seed planted in the earth that has a set pattern destined by nature to grow into fruition we also have the ability to materialize into any self image we want thru concentrated effort.   So, like the seed, if your thought is ‘planted’, ‘nurtured’ and cared for those focused thoughts will manifest into physical reality.   Just like the miracle of tulip bulbs that quietly grow beneath the earth surface popping up thru the cold wintry ground they manifest into a beautiful flower.  Well, we can do the very same thing with a proper mindset! You have the ability to pull ‘negative weeds’ from your mind.
