Mini Monday Moments

Remember Those Passed (MMM #108) Now that the hustle, bustle and freakiness of Hallowe'en is over and as Armistice Day inches closer, let us take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us.

Sleep First. Then Tomorrow. I know. I know, there's a lot going on and you're worried, but keeping yourself awake at night isn't going to help you. No.  You need sleep. So come on. Let me cuddle you. Let's get some sleep first and THEN we can worry about tomorrow.

Adjusting To The New Normal (MMM #106) It's a big switch baby, I know it is, but this is what we have to look forward to for a little bit. Maybe a long bit. And it's okay. Don't worry, take your time over it and be gentle to yourself. We all need to adjust, and it's going to take a little time.

You're Already Doing Well (MMM #105) Hey. I know it doesn't feel like it, but come on... you're doing fine. In fact you're doing better than fine! And just because you can't see it yourself, doesn't mean it's not true.

Let Me Be Your Comfort Blanket (MMM #104) Ohhhh, okay, that's a lot of chocolate you've eaten right there. And ice cream too? Okay, um, how about we put all that away and you tell me what's going on. Let me help you. K?

Tell Me When You're Ready (MMM #103) It's okay. I won't know until you tell me... but I don't want to push you. You don't have to say a word before you're ready, understand? I'll be here, regardless.

The Loud Neighbours (MMM #102) Oh, daaaayum! They're a noisy bunch, aren't they? Hmm. Shall we go over there? Yeah, we can ask them to keep it down.

It's Not Your Fault (MMM #101) Hey. Hey, I know you probably already know this, but it needs to be said, okay? It's not your fault. No. You have no control over how they chose to act and you didn't deserve what they did to you. It's not your fault.

Ten Tips For Self Care (MMM #100) Well... with a little less of the pomp and fanfare than I anticipated for my 100th entry to this series, I give you the latest (literally) Mini Monday Moment. I um'd and aah'd over releasing this one because I wasn't sure that I have any right to offer tips like these. But... these are things I try to do for myself and if I frame it as offering my own methods as s...

What Makes A Man (MMM #99) Baby? Hey, baby! Why are you storming into the house like that? Why do you look so... so... angry? Okay, okay, tell me what happened. Tell me what happened in the changing room.

It's Not Your Responsibility (MMM #98) Baby you're so exhausted, can I help? Do you want to talk about it? Well fine, I know you want to help your friend but... you're not a doctor. You're not a therapist. There's only so much you can do. You can't take that burden onto yourself. It's not fair...

Weight Loss Pep Talk (MMM #97) Hey, hey, it's okay! So you ate a burger. It might not be on whatever plan you're following, but one burger isn't going to destroy all the progress you've made.  No. Of course not. You're doing so, so well!

Crying Happy Tears (MMM #96) Hmmm? Oh, baby, I'm okay honestly I am. Sometimes... I just get overwhelmed by good feels. That's all.

Relax: A Breathing Exercise (MMM #95) It's been a hard day. So now, close the door, sit down and take two minutes for yourself.

Own Your Happiness (MMM #94) Come on, hon. You can't depend on strangers to make you happy. No, of course you can't; only you should be in charge of what brings you joy. That way no one else controls that but you. That's right. You've got to own your own happiness.

Morning Cuddles (MMM #93) Sometimes chilling with you in the morning is all I could ever ask for.  Thank you for being with me, baby.

Being With You [META] (MMM #92) Sometimes all we need is someone close by. Someone to be with. Not in a sexual sense. Not even in a romantic sense. But to just be. Let this audio do that for you.

You Need Sleep I know you have work to do, but you need to be doing it during the day, rather than the middle of the night. Yes, I know the kids are around, but we'll make it work, okay? Yes, we will. Because you need sleep.

Never Apologise For Enthusiasm Oh, come on! Just because they say it's boring, you don't want to play any more? No, no, no. Don't let them stop you enjoying your enthusiasm. It's yours and no one should take that away.

There's Always Another Way Hmm. Been a while, right? I know, I know, seeing someone in person is best but... there might be a way to get around that. Oh, I know! Let's try something...

Hope Now, perhaps more than ever, holding onto hope is hard. But truly giving is the only way we ever really lose hope. And none of us have done that. I'm here for you. We're all here for each other and I hope knowing that offers you some comfort.

You Gotta Start Somewhere Baaaah, come on!  Don't worry about not being fit enough, worry about getting started. Seriously, run with me and in no time at all you'll be pounding out 5k without even realising it!

It's Okay To Feel A Little Crazy Everything we're going through is nuts right now. It's okay to feel a little out of your depth, or even a little insane. But you're coping better than you think you are. I promise.

Don't Stop Living It's okay to be scared and anxious, but please don't let it stop you living. Please, baby. It's going to be okay and I'll be here with you all the way through it. Okay?

You're On Our Front Line Hey, I know it can feel as though you're swimming against the tide right now, but you're doing the best you can and that's all we ever need or ask for. Promise. You've not failed anything, in fact, you're going above and beyond! And I love you for it.
