Connections are so important for our mental well being.
As the days start to shorten, and the sun dips a little lower, August is the time to pause. To rejuvenate yourself before the Autumn, to fill moments in your week with joy and to nourish your wellness. Many clients I work with find the darker months harder. Now is the time to create plans to help yourself manage the time, boost your immunity and really make the most of August.
I’ve put together a few journal prompts to help you and would love to know if they help.
My journal prompts from this August in Autumn to reflect and play with are…
- What are the 3 most important relationships in your life right now and are you positively investing time in them?
- Are you investing time in things which give you a sense of purpose and fulfilment?
- What is distracting, overwhelming or stressing you and how could you change this?
- If you could change or enhance one area of your life for 3 – 6 weeks, how would you start and why does this matter?
- Any other play ideas, dreams and what if’s…to start?
Take your note book and play with these ideas as I think they could hold some golden nuggets of information as we flow through August. They also link with the two quote shares of the fortnight too, choose the top or bottom to focus on.
3 Quick tips for the Autumn linked with your journalling… let me know what resonates:
- Be relentless in the pursuit of your goal, think differently and pay attention to all the detail / people.
- Surround yourself with 5 key people for your support system.
- Why, How and What is important to your purpose.
- Don’t be afraid to give something a go, take a risk.
Which resonate for you, and can I help at all?
In other Energised News, the Team have been doing amazing things, with amazing performances and medals with GB Synchronised Swimming Team at the Worlds, now heading to Doha and Olympic Qualifiers, British Triathlon Qualifiers, British Super Bike Series, Three Day Eventing and lots of run, adventure and mountain climbing. Alongside this I’ve been giving some Wellness Workshops for small businesses, and Performance Workshops with some teams, if anything captures you, send me a message and we can come up with ideas to enhance the Autumn.
I wrote a blog last week around running, if you like it or perhaps not, it seems to have helped people. You can have a read here, let me know what you think.

This newsletter is a little late as my beautiful Bertie, Energised Coach Dog and all round adventuring buddy sadly passed away peacefully at home last Friday. He had a mast cell tumour on his lip, so whilst waggy and happy, his lip wasn’t.
One of the hardest decisions to make, yet I trust he is whizzing around happily above keeping an eye on us all. You can read more here if you like, and join our Memory Walk on Sat 9th Sept in Bristol at 2 pm.
I think the loss of an animal or human, for each of us is complex, unique and fusion of all sorts of emotions. Grief and love are so intrinsically woven together, relationships in life weaved into the fabric of our individual days.

The more I live, love and lose, the more important it is to live wholeheartedly, bravely today. To understand yourself, to communicate and share. It’s different for each of us, and if I can help you at all, for 2 or 4 legged love and loss, it would be my service. I have qualified in Trauma therapy training, grief and healing, animal and human reiki, to blend with all my skills.
If I can help you in anyway, please do get in touch and let me know, make sure you make the second half of 2023 count for YOU, August is like a mini January – I promise, it’s the perfect time to sharpen your mind for the Autumn and we are here to help you.
I wish you find joy in the moments, health, happiness, hope and courage for the month ahead.
Pop me a message and let me know how you are…. share your joy and hope for the Autumn.
