ABOUT

Hi there, I'm Chriss.

I'd love you to take a big deep, calming breath, relax your shoulders and know you're in the right place.

I want to help you achieve a calm, clear, peaceful mind and life, so you have the mental energy to live your best life.

No need to meditate for hours each day or move to a mountain top.

I will teach you easy, practical, simple mindfulness tools and techniques that work.

My over-thinking went from a 10 out of 10, to a 4 out of 10 after doing the course.

I am forever grateful.

Chriss Tinslay - Mindfulness Mentor

Your thoughts are like your social media feed.

👉 you don’t get much control over what pops up

👉 you do get to choose what you engage with and give attention to

👉 let it be there without engaging…
and it just passes by

👉 plus…
the algorithm will learn those types of posts (or thoughts) aren’t important to you.
You’ll get served up less of them over time.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As a Mindfulness teacher, I get to hear the inner

As a Mindfulness teacher, I get to hear the inner musings of many people’s thoughts.
💭
The stuff most people wouldn’t say out loud.

Something happens when you hear this over and over from a vast array of people.

You realise we’re all the same.

Our minds tell us all kinds of silly stories.

Different flavours for sure.

But usually with a main element of “I’m not good enough “

I’ve heard it from mums, teachers, doctors, actors, and even from my mentor and idol.
(of course he knew not to take his seriously, but he still gets those thoughts.)

There’s something so freeing about knowing it’s simply a human brain thing.
Not a YOU thing.
☺️

If you don’t have access to other people’s inner most worries…
You’re just gonna have to trust me on this.
🤷🏻‍♀️

We’re all the same.
You’re not weird.
💜🩶💙💜🩶

The first time I tried the exercise to observe my thoughts as separate to me…
Guess what my thoughts were?
🤔

👉 this is dumb
👉 I can’t do it
👉 it’s is pissing me off
👉 this is hopeless
👉 I’m hopeless
👉 I’ll never get this
👉 uggghhhhhh

🤔😘😂

Of course I was not observing them at all back then.
I was totally fused.

I was my thoughts and they were me.

There was no space.

It took me about 6 months of staying open,
just a little bit.

6 months of staying hopeful.

One day I looked back and realised there was some progress.

Now it comes (mostly) naturally.

Learning to create space from your own thoughts is so freeing

My 10 Happy Habits. 1️⃣ Be ok with not being

My 10 Happy Habits.

1️⃣
Be ok with not being happy all the time.
Sounds counterintuitive I know, but trust me, this is FIRST on my list for a reason.
Accept and allow all human emotions.
Life is meant to be 50 / 50
----

2️⃣
Don’t believe everything you think.
Your brains job isn’t to keep you happy, it’s to keep you alive.
It’s does this by alerting you to everything that could go wrong, or has ever gone wrong.

Learning to observe your thoughts instead of becoming them will make a massive improvement to your happiness levels

3️⃣
Notice and appreciate things that make you happy.
Dont take them for granted.
Lean into them.
Savour them.

This takes MORE effort than letting your mind wander into worry...
and that's ok.
---

4️⃣
Culitivate meaningful connection with others.
😉
---

5️⃣
Do something that gives your life meaning and purpose.
Help others.
Take on a passion project. etc.
---

6️⃣
Do more things that FILL your self care tank.

Because we all know there are a hell of a lot of tasks that empty it.
---

7️⃣
Do less "quick fix" pleasure hits.

I know it feels good in the moment, but it hijacks your brain, making it harder to feel pleasure from natural, healthy options.
---

8️⃣
Spend more time "in the moment" rather than caught up in your head.

Mindfulness training can help with this.
🤷🏻‍♀️
---

9️⃣
Get adequate, sleep, sunshine, nutrition and movement.
---

🔟
Smile, laugh, stand up straight, open your arms, shake your body.
Even if you have to fake it at first.
💜🌸💜

Today’s mindfulness card. ⭐️😍⭐️

Today’s mindfulness card.
⭐️😍⭐️

Your brain’s job isn’t to keep you happy.
It’s to keep you alive.
😮

Imagine Carl the Caveman.

He’s out searching for food.
He’s focusing on rainbows and flowers.

A wild bear comes along and eats Carl.
Poor Carl.
😔

Now imagine if instead he’s hyper vigilant.
He’s looking and listening for everything that could go wrong.

Carl the Caveman lives to see another day.
💛💛💛

This negativity bias is still wired into our brains.

Only there’s no bear about to attack.

Rather it’s a million tiny things that are constantly present.
Ugh.

If you’re a worrier, there’s nothing wrong with you or your brain,
It’s doing it’s job.

HOWEVER, you can train your brain to outwit it’s natural negativity bias.
😁

You can get better at feeling good.

😁💛🥰💛

Mindfulness training can show you how
