This week's #MondayMotivation is #MondayMoodles.

This week's #MondayMotivation is #MondayMoodles. 


Moodles are little creative exercises you can do to become aware of feelings, reduce stress or anxiety, help you relax or feel better and much more.

Some people have a wee bit more time on their hands at the moment (I wish I did!), so engaging in some creative activites for mental health can really improve wellbeing and stress at the moment.

I've provided 4 Moodles to try below. 

Give one or more of these a go and see how you get on... it might even help you feel a wee bit better.

Take care and have a good day, Alexandra


Moodle #1

 'Write a break-up letter to your stress'



Moodle #2

'Oh no! Here comes your evil stress monster. Moodle it some wings and watch it fly away'.




Moodle #3

With everything that's going on with COVID-19 at the moment, it can be easy to slip into thinking about things we're not in control of at the moment, or the things that are not going right or perhaps focusing on feeling overwhelmed and stressed with everything, with no end in sight.
Try to moodle below to help you break things down into more manageable chunks and focus more.


Here's Moodle #3: 

''Focus on the important details. Write or draw these inside the magnifying glass''.



Moodle #4
 
'You're at a crossroads in your life. Draw what's on the various paths you could go down'.

Focus on.... Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS)

Focus on.... EDNOS/OSFED Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS) is now increasingly known as OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) accounts for the highest percentage of eating disorders. EDNOS/OSFED is just as serious and debilitating as any other form of eating disorder and needs to be taken more seriously. Unfortunately, however, in our experience, this is often not the case and many are not given appropriate treatment or support (whether from family, friends, professionals and others) and the condition can deteriorte and even change into another form of eating disorder. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EDNOS/OSFED? Then read on..... EDNOS/OSFED is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder in clinical settings. It has often been described as ‘partial syndrome’; however, in our opinion, referring to an eating disorder as 'partial' presents several problems, namely that the client or patient is denied support. EDNOS/OSFED describes a form eating d...

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER: What is it?

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER As we said yesterday, this week in Mental Health Awareness Week 2019. This is a national awareness week and the theme this year is Body Image. See Monday's post to see what we are doing this week. We will also be posting everyday this week on Facebook, Twitter and the blog about Body Image and BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder).

It can be very upsetting and have a big impact on your life.
