Happy FriYAY from Coley Shedquarters! I’ve got a new toy: it’s a tiny remote photo clicker. I’m not really sure why I bought it or what I’ll use it for, but here’s me testing it out from my cosy garden cabin. Wishing everyone a lovely weekend 💖

Behind-the-scenes… 🎥 We wanted to capture a few Halloween photos, so we thought we’d record a short video of us messing about, then VIG-style screen-grab the best moments as photos…

Turns out the video itself was hilarious, so we thought we’d share that too…

(Sound on for laughs!)

Wow! What an inspiring day & a total privilege: conversations about MI in EP practice and learning alongside a group of really kind, knowledgeable & interesting EPs.

Thanks everyone for creating such a wonderful learning community ✨

@drcathyatkinson.bsky.social #edpsychs #motivationalinterviewing
Fi and Cathy embody MI. They are compassionate and work in collaboration with the trainees. The spirit, skills and tasks are beautifully modelled throughout their sessions. Thank you so much!

PSA 🚨 This is your reminder to take a lunch break. Go outside if you can and enjoy the sunshine and autumn trees 🍂 ☀️

I had lots on my list, but prioritising the sunshine ☀️ I’m sure I’ll be more productive afterwards anyway! #edpsychs #selfcare #takeabreak

Sunday scaries? Back to work blues?

Practising #gratitude is just 1 idea from my blog last year for a positive return to work… edpsy.org.uk/blog/2024/ba...

I’m grateful for a brilliant holiday: surfing, sunsets, MEGA sticky toffee pud, camping and walks

What are you grateful for #edpsychs?

✨Manifesting ✨

is basically #selfcoaching

1. Make time to reflect 💭
2. Envision your preferred future 🔮
3. Set your intentions/goals 🎯
4. Optional: add spirituality (trust the universe) 🌍
5. Make it happen 💫

#edpsychs do you do this?

Being told your readiness score is 100 on your #Fitbit is surprisingly motivating.

Did I feel 100% ready for the day before this information? No.

Do I feel READY for Tuesday now? Absolutely.

How do you find your #motivation and #productivity in the summer holidays #edpsychs?

Come on Tuesday 💪

I always think ‘I’d love to do more #art’

But I get so stuck in my head about ‘producing something’ worthwhile.

When actually art can be about process.

It’s about having fun, being playful and letting go.

My friend bought me these #crayons and inspired me to #doodle 👩🏼‍🎨

Really enjoyed that 👌

@positivitea-eps.bsky.social What a brilliant, heart-warming session today 🥰

Thanks so much for all those who made it to our last #positivitea session of the year.

I really enjoyed focusing on what we're proud of and what we're grateful for. Very uplifting!

Feedback quote: “I wasn't really feeling positive, but made myself do the reflection tool this morning and it has definitely shifted things a bit for me. Also just lovely to be with EPs.”

Embracing imperfection

I realised after doing 75% of this puzzle that there was at least 1 missing piece (actually 5!)

Thought it would feel really frustrating and I debated whether to quit, but I persevered…

I did the best with the resources I had.

And I’m ok with it.

Just had an insightful 1:1 #coaching session using the SPACE coaching model to help an EP overcome gremlins and pesky imposter feelings.

We explored more helpful, kind and compassionate thoughts and planned some helpful actions.

#edpsychs what would you achieve if you could tame your gremlins?

Summer solstice camping weekend ⛺️ ☀️ 🌷 🌅

We were treated to the most beautiful sunset on the longest day of the year.

Gorgeous countryside stomps, sunshine, fields for days and campfire chats with friends 🔥

My cup is so full ☕️ 🥰

How did you fill your cup this weekend #edpsychs ?
