Illness and Emotions- We all get ill once in a while, sometimes it’s a cough or a cold which could bring you down for weeks or months. Others (myself included) suffer with long term illnesses known as ‘chronic illness’ where there’s not much treatment, if any and no cure. This can not only have an affect on us physically, but emotionally too. Feelings of frustration, sadness and basically being completely fed up can creep in from time to time and even for long periods and even turn into depression. Below are a few posts that could help to deal with these times:

Positive behaviors-  How we behave towards ourselves can impact on our emotional state. Changing these to more positive behaviors can influence and improve our overall well- being. For example, self- care. You hear so much of this going about, especially in these unprecedented times. It’s important we take care of ourselves. It’s so easy to put others first, and well, we should. Especially when you have little ones, spouses  or parents to take care of. But, you know what? Your not going to be able to do this if you don’t take care of yourself! Sounds a bit close to home? Then try these:
