Sarah’s Shelves

If you’ve forgotten to buy a chocolate advent calendar for your kids (like me, OOPS!) why not try something different and do a Magic Painting everyday until Christmas? Or, the countdown to Christmas with different crafts? 🥰 ✨

Both of these titles are available from me today, but I only have one of each so you’ll need to be quick! 😱🎄

✨A few of my big titles are gone but still got plenty left! ✨ ONLY 30 MINS TO GO, HERE AT NETHERTHIRD! 😱🎄

Remember you can order online and get it sent direct to your house 🥰

✨Bit of a personal post today!✨

I woke up feeling quite anxious and jittery today but couldn’t quite pinpoint why..
I still feel it now so I thought whilst I was working through something I’ve been taught to do, I’d share it here in the hopes it might help someone else!

5-4-3-2-1
This focuses on the senses and forces your mind to stop while you list these things. For example mine right now are:

👀 5 Things I can see:
- the sunshine making shadows
- my 1 year old fighting sleep in his pram
- flowers in the community garden planters
- cars driving past
- a bumblebee collecting pollen

👂 4 Things I can hear:
- cars exhausts
- the squeaky wheel on the pram
- birds chirping
- the nursery/school playground

✋🏼 3 Things I can feel:
- the heat from the sun on my shoulders and face
- the slight breeze that’s blowing
- my leg bouncing (which is a telltale sign for me that I’m feeling anxious)

👅 2 Things I can taste:
- I’ve just finished a pot of tea whilst at the Community Centre
- my chewing gum

👃🏼 1 thing I can smell:
- the bright purple flowers in the flower bed next to me.

If you have a go, leave a comment and let me know what your 5 things are! They don’t have to be the same ones as mine, you can mix up the senses whichever way you like! Whatever helps! 💚

💚MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK💚

I’m going to share some of the amazing titles that Usborne have to offer.

I would personally recommend the painting and colouring books as I, myself, have found the benefit of sitting down and focusing on nothing but breathing and engaging your hands when you’re in a bad headspace.

If you’d like any more information or to place an order, please let me know! ✨

💚 Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness month? 💚

I made it my New Year’s resolution to be more mindful and listen to my body more so I’ve been making sure I take time to do things I enjoy:

📚READING
🧶CROCHET
🪡EMBROIDERY (Thank you TikTok!)

What are some of the things you enjoy doing to help unplug and unwind your mind?

✨ Please remember there is no shame in taking time to focus on your mental health and wellbeing, and if you need to talk, please reach out to someone: your GP, Mental Health Practitioner, teacher, best friend, anyone.✨

✨FEEDBACK WANTED✨

If I were to do an Online Party filled with games, special offers, etc, when would be the best day/time for everyone to attend? 🤔

If you could comment whatever day of the week would suit best along with AM/PM then I will see what the consensus is and get something arranged 🥰

THANK YOU! 💛
