"The cultural message of the new year is loud and clear: This is your chance to fix everything. Be healthier. Be more productive. Be happier. Become a better version of yourself.

While this idea is often framed as inspiring, it can easily turn into pressure—especially for people who are already managing anxiety, depression, burnout, or major life stressors."

The new year is supposed to feel hopeful. Energizing. Motivating.So why does it so often feel heavy, overwhelming, or quietly anxiety-provoking instead? If you’re starting the year with a tight chest, racing thoughts, or a sense that you’re already behind, you’re not broken—and you’re not ...

"The start of a new year often comes with pressure to change everything at once—new routines, new goals, a “better” version of yourself. But when it comes to mental health, lasting change rarely comes from dramatic overhauls. More often, it grows quietly from small, consistent habits that support your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self over time."

⭐️🍁🪐 How to rest
when there is no time to rest
Slowly moisturise your face. Slowly peel an orange.
Look at the clouds. Look at the moon. Look at the flowers growing through the cracks in the pavement. Feel the ground beneath your feet. Smell something soothing. Stretch your arms overhead.
Smile softly. Let your gaze widen. Wash up the dishes to your favourite music. Savour the first sip of coffee. Turn your face towards the sun. Speak one sentence of self-compassion. Let your belly expand as you inhale. Exhale as if you're blowing through a straw. Change into cosy clothing. Lie on the floor for one minute and let the earth hold you. Hum gently.
Touch something alive - a leaf, a tree, a dandelion, a loved one, your pulse, your breath, your heart.

What's the ONE question your kid actually wishes you would ask?

We ask lots of questions and often receive blank stares or scripted responses from our kids. Asking this one question may not illicit a profound response every time or right away, but it will show your kid that you're there for them, that you care and that you're their safe place. Click to read this short post to find out more:

You might be asking your child all the “right” questions: But there’s one question that rarely gets asked—and when it does, it can open the door to deeper connection, emotional safety, and trust. So what’s the question? “What’s been feeling heavy for you lately?” Simple, right? But i...
