There’s something beautiful about starting the day with a circle of people bringing their attention, compassion and intention to one another. 🤍 This morning, we spent eight focused minutes holding each person’s intention. Time to pause, listen and give our full attention to what matters to someone else. Without sharing anyone’s personal story, our intentions centred around: 🌿 Rest and boundaries—finding the off-button, stepping back from constant availability and allowing ourselves to receive support. 🌿 Meaningful work and financial wellbeing—valuing what we offer, welcoming opportunities and feeling more comfortable charging for our work. 🌿 Health and recovery—holding hope for clearer answers, comfort and healing, with gratitude for those providing care. 🌿 Daily habits—loosening patterns that hold us back and making room for small, consistent steps towards wellbeing. 🌿 Clarity and self-worth—welcoming a quieter mind, greater kindness towards ourselves and the reminder that we are already enough. 🌿 Connection and love—bringing our work into the world while making room for nourishing relationships, joy and peace. For me, one of the gifts of this practice is noticing what happens within us as we focus compassion on someone else. We pause our own mental chatter. We connect. We remember that we can give and receive. 💫 Thank you to everyone who joined this morning and brought such warmth and care to our circle. Those we were thinking of from afar were held in our hearts, too. Take a slow breath. Feel your feet on the ground. Let today’s intentions guide one small, loving action. Seeds planted. Space to grow. 🌱✨ Amanda Joy 🤍 The Joyful Mind Mentor

🌸 Last night, my husband and I sat together on the sofa, at the end of another busy day, and had the most beautiful conversation. We started reflecting on our life together and just how much has changed since we first met in November 2020. Six years ago, life looked very different. I'd just established my own home. I was working as a clinical hypnotherapist and massage therapist, and the previous November I'd completed my teaching qualification in hypnotherapy. I'd written my own training course, spent the year delivering it, achieved accreditation, won a couple of awards, and was just about ready to take that next big step towards establishing The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapy. And then, in November 2020, I met the man who would become my husband. ❤️ I remember that year so vividly. Comet NEOWISE had appeared in our skies earlier that summer, and being someone who absolutely adores the Northern Lights, I've always found something rather magical about looking up at the sky and recognising those extraordinary moments in life. And goodness, what an extraordinary five years it's been! Last night, we started making a list of everything we've achieved, experienced, overcome, learned and created together. Our home. Our cars that we've worked hard for and paid for. Our careers, the jobs we've loved and even the ones we haven't loved quite so much! The businesses we've developed, the challenges we've navigated, the friendships we've made and the opportunities that have come our way. And now, in our lovely new home, we have a dining room where we can invite friends and family around, share food, laughter, conversation and make even more memories. It might sound like ordinary stuff, but when you sit down and really reflect on it, you begin to realise just how extraordinary ordinary life can be. Of course, everything is still a work in progress. There are things we'd like to change, things we'd like to finish, and plenty of dreams we're still working towards.
