Codependence isn’t always obvious, but recognising its impact can be transformative.

If someone’s negative comments feel tough to shake them off, try checking out your favourite movie on IMDB and read through the one-star reviews. You'll soon learn how wrong people can be. It’s a great reminder that not everyone sees things the same way.

Seeing things from other people's perspectives isn't easy. Especially if their view of the world is distorted. But knowing that their views are distorted might make it easier to accept their criticisms as their distortions, rather than your reality. #mentalhealth #podcast

Day 271 of #365DaysOfSmiles Practice makes perfect

If someone says something calmly and professionally and it sends you into a two day depressive episode, it's worth asking the question: What did them saying that mean about me and my world? Maybe it doesn't mean anything about you. Maybe it's all about them and their world. #mentalhealth #podcast

Happy Friday! #FeelGoodFriday

When dealing with critics it's important to listen to their perspective, and try and be calm. Talk normally, I know it's not easy in the moment. But even just slowing your voice down a notch can completely change the temperature of the conversation. #mentalhealth #podcast

Day 268 of #365DaysOfSmiles Never give up, and never take your eye off the ball

Ever get to 7pm and feel too tired to even choose what to eat? That’s not laziness it’s decision fatigue. You’re not broken. You’re just human. Take care of that brilliant brain of yours. #DecisionFatigue #MentalHealth

Day 267 of #365DaysOfSmiles Wait! Was that me?

In most cases, anger is a secondary emotion, a reaction to something else. Usually it's because you feel hurt first. So if someone's angry towards you it might be a bit easier to let it go by seeing them as someone who is hurt, rather than as someone who's angry.

Day 266 of #365DaysOfSmiles Classic sass!

Damn it. Just heard that it’s the rapture tomorrow and I’ve still got a big bag of chilli heatwave Doritos unopened. And a pack of Beavertown’s Neck Oil. Right then (slaps thighs and stands up).

The author Albert Hubbard wrote: Do nothing, say nothing and be nothing. And you'll never be criticised. And he's right. If you want to escape criticism the only way is to vanish, but that's no life at all! #mentalhealth #podcast

Given that our minds lie to us, keeping us in our comfort zones by valuing our so-called opinions, we can't trust that other people's opinions of us are genuine anyway! #mentalhealth #podcast

Day 262 of #365DaysOfSmiles Trouble on the pitch

Happy Friday! #FridayFeeling

Humans create mental shortcuts and see stereotypes to make our brains more efficient, but that also means that you can't always trust that someone's opinion is true anyway. Which might make it easier to ignore them if they make a mistake about you. #mentalhealth #podcast

Day 261 of #365DaysOfSmiles Friends for life

Just existing is enough to invite judgment from some people, but I think the first thing we need to bear in mind is that context is important. Is their opinion even valid anyway? #mentalhealth #podcast
