π Christmas 2025 π
The festive season can be joyful, but it can also be tough.
With busy schedules, rising costs, and extra pressures, itβs important to remember that you matter β and your wellbeing matters too. π Take things at your own pace. You donβt need to do everything or keep up with everyone else. π«
Even small moments can make a real difference β stepping outside for some fresh air π¬οΈ, sitting quietly for a few minutes π§ββοΈ, or having a chat with a friend or neighbour π£οΈ.
If things feel overwhelming, itβs okay to reach out. Support is available, and you donβt have to face difficult times alone. π€
