Whether you’re struggling to clean your house, stick to your diet, or do the boring parts of your job, motivation is a big factor in all of our lives. I have 10 tips to help you get things done when you really aren’t feeling it. If you're feeling unmotivated for more than 2 weeks and can't seem to shake it, seek professional consultation. It may be a sign of a physical health condition or a mental health issue that goes deeper than a self-help guide. Maple Leaf Therapy is a private psychology practice in South Wales offering bespoke treatment for professionals with anxiety, depression, or needing stress management support. Feel free to reach out for more information, as phone consultations are free and can be the first steps to getting back to the real you. www.MapleLeafTherapy.com +44 7936635077

Do you ever doubt yourself and your abilities at work, wonder just how you have achieved your current position, and await the day when somebody calls you out on this, and sends you home for being the wrong person for the job? This type of anxiety has a name! Imposter syndrome affects 20% of high achievers. It’s the feeling that, even though you might be fully qualified or experienced enough for your job you’re actually a phony who doesn’t belong at all. It can stunt your career growth, keep you stuck at a low-level position, and keep you doubting yourself even after years of mastering your role. Sound relatable? A psychologist can help you work through these anxieties and be able to prevent them in the future. Don’t become frozen in place by doubt, CBT can be very effective in gaining the mindset you need to overcome imposter syndrome.

As we start 2021 many of us are assessing the changes we want to make in our lives. When examining ways to improve our physical health, our mental health, and our relationships with others, many are coming to the conclusion that we need to drink less alcohol. To help with this, Maple Leaf Therapy is now running an online open workshop series called Drink Less, Live More. It’s a 6 week programme aimed at giving you the tools you need to reduce, moderate, or stop drinking. Topics covered: Session 1: Healthy Habits Session 2: Hobbies and Activities Session 3: Planning Ahead Session 4: Motivation Session 5: Cravings and Emergencies Session 6: Social Support Join me on Zoom on a Wednesday evening to learn from an experienced therapist about how to reduce your alcohol use. Discussion is optional, you can quietly listen and take in your tools to success, or you can take the open time at the end of each session to talk to others, find accountability buddies, or just vent to others that know how hard change can be. It’s up to you. You’ll never be called out to speak. My goal is to help people struggling to start a change or to make a change lost longer. The programme consists of 6 sessions. Each session is standalone: you can join in any week you want and take it at your own pace. The content repeats after 6 sessions, so try just one, pop in every few weeks, attend every other week for 12 weeks, or sign up for all of them. It’s alcohol reduction therapy led by you. Drink Less Live More is also a community. In addition to the time for chatting at the end of each session, there is a Facebook group dedicated to continuing the conversation. It’s a private group, only other members of the group will be able to see your posts or comments. The group is moderated and led by Maple Leaf Therapy. Take that first step towards getting your life back from alcohol! The tools and support you need are here, you just have to set them in motion.

Perspective can be the source of unhappiness for many people, and asking yourself these questions can help you shift that perspective. These questions can also reveal some negative thinking patterns, such as comparing yourself to unfair benchmarks: where you think you should be now, where someone else is (even if they had a head-start in years of experience or life situation), or where you think other people believe you should be. The best person to compare yourself to is ‘1 Year Ago You’ and always work toward a realistic ‘1 Year From Now You.’ Self-care is not selfishness. It may look different for each person and each situation but self-care can be: saying no, taking a mental health day, treating yourself, making a healthy habit, asking for help, and a great many other things. These are all red flags that indicate your internal narrative is full of unhelpful thoughts. Each of these signs can be targeted and improved with CBT therapy at Maple Leaf Therapy.
