💛 Happy Self-Care Week! 💛
Today marks the start of Self-Care Week, a national campaign encouraging everyone to prioritise their wellbeing - something that is essential for our carers, our clients, and their families.
At Right at Home Derby & East Staffs, we know that caring for others begins with taking care of ourselves. Whether you’re a care professional, a client, or a next of kin supporting a loved one, self-care isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity.
Here are some simple ways to build in a little rest and recharge this week:
✨ Take a moment to pause – even 5 minutes of quiet can help reset your mind.
🥣 Eat well & hydrate – small, nourishing choices make a big difference.
🚶♀️ Move your body – a gentle walk or stretch can lift your mood.
📞 Connect with someone – a chat with a friend or family member is powerful.
🌿 Do something you enjoy – a hobby, a book, or a calming activity.
😴 Prioritise sleep – rest is one of the best forms of self-care.
And for a little extra personal TLC, why not try:
💇♀️ Booking a haircut or trim
💅 Treating yourself to a manicure or pedicure
☕ Enjoying a quiet coffee date
🛁 Having a long, relaxing bath
🛍️ Buying yourself a small treat
🌼 Spending time outdoors
🎧 Listening to your favourite playlist
📚 Reading a chapter of a book
💆♀️ Booking a massage or wellness treatment
Let’s use this week as a reminder that looking after ourselves helps us look after others even better. Here’s to a calmer, kinder, more mindful week for everyone 🧡
