Did you know words make up less than 10% of how we communicate?

Understanding what we are trying to tell each other is so important, but it means we have to look beyond what we are being told.

The quiet signals and hidden cues. These offer a deeper insight into what we are trying to communicate. From tone of voice, body language, and eye contact - all of these gestures can speak more than the words we are saying. 🗣️

Tuning into the non-verbal cues can help deepen the conversation and help us to truly see and hear each other beyond the surface level.

At Arthur Ellis, our 1-1 emotional support is built on listening beyond words. With no judgement and no pressure, we can offer a space for you to communicate however you feel comfortable.

Reach out to us today, because you deserve to be understood, not just heard. 💚

Do you find that voice in your head overpowering and controlling? 🗣️

Doing something as simple as giving it a name could help it to feel less in control.

You could name it anything that you think suits it best. From acknowledging the sometimes controlling nature of it by calling it Frankenstein, to changing the narrative and giving is a more friendly name.

It's whatever works for you.

The voice in your head is meant to be your friend so finding your own way to acknowledge and accept it can help it to feel more on your side.

What name will you give your internal voice? Let us know! 👇

Want to find ways to level-up your self-esteem?

What if we told you it's all in the small steps.

Getting out of bed. Brushing your teeth. Going for a 5-minute walk. If you've done any of these today then you've already accomplished something. ✅

Being able to acknowledge even the smallest steps will allow yourself to build up the momentum and continue going. This is especially important for the more difficult days where getting out of bed is a challenge.

Giving yourself credit for these smaller steps can help boost your self-esteem in the small but important ways.

What small steps are you able to acknowledge in yourself today? Share below and you may inspire someone else ✨

Are supplements really necessary for our health? 🤔

There are already so many options for nutritional supplements, yet we are constantly learning about new ones.

But here's the truth: most of us don't need to be taking them.

There's really only one we are recommended to take here in the UK: Vitamin D. It's suggested we take it from late September to early April due to the lack of sunlight.

As always, check with a healthcare professional before starting anything new!

Ensuring we get enough nutrients throughout the year is vital for not just physically, but mentally too! A balanced diet, regular movement, and getting quality sleep will do more for your wellbeing than any supplement ever could. 😴

Consistency is key here. Nourishing your body in all the right ways is vital in order to see lasting, positive effects on your health.

Does loneliness ever cloud your view of the day? ☁️

As Jon explains, the Relationship Target trick is aa simple activity to remind yourself: you are not alone.

🎯 Inner Circle: Your closest relationships. From best friends, close family, to your partner. The people you can call on at anytime, no questions asked.
💬 Middle Circle: Those you are close to, but maybe just not quite as deep. They'll be there when needed but just not 24/7.
👋 Outer Circle: The acquaintances. The smiles and waves from across the street that brighten your day.

Sometimes we overthink and believe that there is no one around us to lean on. But a simple trick like this can help you to truly recognise who is there for you for support.

Reminders of who you have near can leave you feeling less alone. And sometimes that is enough to get you through the tricky moment.

Try out this target trick and let us know below how you get along! 👇

As a carer, taking each day as it comes may be the best thing for you.

And that is more than okay.

In fact, it shows your strength. 💪

Managing the emotions that come with a caring role can feel like a full-time job in itself. Guilt? Overwhelm? Sometimes it can feel too much. But your love and care matters more than you think, and is felt by those who need it most.

To anyone carrying this weight: you are not alone. Your effort does not go unnoticed. Today, take time to give yourself the credit that you deserve.

In this episode, Susan talks about her journey. The joys, the challenges, and everything in between.

Let's continue to share these stories and break the silence.

If you or anyone you know is struggling, reach out today. We're here for you 💚

With so much going on, our minds can sometimes be too loud.

But bringing yourself back to the present and finding one thing to focus on can help things feel calmer.

Make-up can feel like a safety blanket, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your own skin.

It can be used in so many ways, from being able to express yourself, cover up insecurities, or boost your confidence. ✨

Here's the thing: this is just a short-term fix.

In this podcast episode, Dr Amit Goyle warns us that heavy make-up use can lead to problems with your skin. This is especially the case for the younger generation and those with acne-prone skin.

Certain oils within make-up products can cause further problems with your skin. Acne flare-ups caused by these products can not only be painful, but also negatively impact your wellbeing and self-esteem. 🙁

Finding comfort in your own skin is not an easy task but can do wonders for your self-confidence and comfort in going out without make-up.

Why not try introduce a make-up free Friday? Putting yourself first could look like aiming to reduce how much make-up you use every day. Or, you could introduce make-up free Fridays!

Let us know how you get on! 👇

As a society, we can often judge others too quickly.

But as Chris shares, getting to know people as an individual can open your eyes to their unique experiences. His experience of working with young offenders led him to realise the reality of life for some people.

It's a simple story like this that can make you grateful for what you have.

Take time today to notice any ways you may pre-judge people. Let us know your tips to limit this judgement 👇

Is there ever a 'right' time to come out? 🤷

The honest answer: no!

If you feel ready and safe enough to tell those around you, then maybe this is the right time for you. It's up to you who you tell and when you tell them, but if that time never comes, then that is okay too.

Everyone's experience of coming out is unique so you can't compare your journey to others. The most important thing is keeping yourself safe and surrounding yourself with loving people.
