You are not your mistakes, they do NOT define you, they are what you did not who you are, YOU define who you are

Self-care is not about being indulgent or fixing yourself, it’s about meeting your needs, in that moment, with compassion

Exercise isn’t just about fitness — it’s one of the most powerful tools for improving mental health. Regular movement helps release tension, boost mood, and reduce anxiety by lowering stress hormones and increasing feel-good chemicals like serotonin and endorphins.

You don’t need a gym or fancy gear — a brisk walk, a dance in your kitchen, or a stretch session all count but if you do want a class I recommend Body Burn for a supportive first (or second or 100th step.

Every step, jump, or stretch is a step toward a calmer, more balanced you. 💚

THIS FRIDAY, 10th October, its World Mental Health Day!

Did you know that strength training triggers the release of feel-good chemicals called endorphins, which can help reduce stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression 💪🤗

At body burn we have a safe space, where you can come and exercise with a supportive group.
If you want to give exercise a go to see if this can help with your mental health, please feel free to drop us a message ✉️.
And of course... everything is private & confidential 🧡.

As the days shorten, the air turns colder, and the evenings feel longer, many of us notice a subtle shift in our mood, energy, or sense of motivation. Winter can bring both beauty and challenges — the cosy evenings, quiet snow, hot drinks, but also the tendency to withdraw, feel low, or struggle with the grey skies.
If you find yourself in that space, know this: you are not alone. And there are ways to support your mental health gently and kindly through winter, head over to my blog (link in comments) to read how.

Self care doesn’t always have to be long baths and candles, it can be what ever it is in the moment that you need to look after you, sometimes saying no can be that self-care

You are not your thoughts. Thoughts come into your mind but it’s you who can then decide what to do with them.
