Breathe. This is just a chapter, not the whole story.

When we're experiencing big emotions, they feel like they might last forever and there's no end in sight. But if we can stop to take a step back, to pause, to breathe, we can remind ourselves that today, this feeling is just a chapter, it's not the whole story. Things will change and emotions will shift, and the next chapter could look very different.

What are you hoping your next chapter has in store for you?

Movement doesn’t have to be a workout, it can be a lifeline for your mental health.

From the quiet rhythm of swimming to the stillness of yoga, movement has the power to ground us, reduce stress, and reconnect us with ourselves. But you don’t need a new routine or gym membership to feel the benefits.

In our latest blog, we explore how small, mindful movements throughout your day can have a big impact on your mental well-being, no sweat required.

This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day highlights the importance of mental health in humanitarian emergencies.

We tend to think we need to rest once everything is done and when we're exhausted. However, we really need to schedule breaks and rest throughout our days so that we don't end up on empty!

Give yourself a little grace and space this week by scheduling in some breaks to recharge before your tank is empty.
