“Our human experience is much the same, we go through life flip-flopping between good and bad times, happy and sad, calm and restless, fearful and brave. This constantly changing weather pattern of emotions can have us happily riding a wave one minute and completely knocked off balance the next.

We can’t change the events that happen but we do have a choice in how we relate to them, and how we relate to the different parts of ourselves that arise in each moment. We can learn ways to develop response-flexibility, self-care and improving our quality of life by learning to be kinder and more forgiving towards ourselves.”

Lifesurfing offers a variety of support options, from counselling to mindfulness to hypnotherapy - dive in to find the strategy that’s perfect for you.
