💪 Everyone’s journey is different, and it’s completely normal to hit bumps along the way. 🚧 What matters most is staying committed and being kind to yourself through the process. 💛 You’re learning what works for you, and that takes time and patience. ⏳ Keep showing up- small steps lead to big results, and you’re doing better than you think. 🌟👏

Happy National Relaxation Day! 🧘‍♀️🌿

It’s a common myth that smoking helps you relax - but in reality, it keeps you stuck in a stress cycle.
That brief feeling of calm is quickly followed by cravings and withdrawal, which can actually increase stress and anxiety over time.

Today’s a great reminder to try healthier ways to unwind when the urge strikes:

🌬️ Breathing exercises
🧘 A bit of yoga or meditation
🚶 A short walk in the fresh air

We're here to support you every step of the way 👉 smokefreederbyandderbyshire.org.uk
