We can all be dramatic sometimes. Our anxious minds love to catastrophise little things and focus on everything that’s gone wrong: the tasks you left unfinished, the goals you’ve never got round to achieving, all those things that didn’t go to plan…

But what about everything that’s gone right?

Think about the hardest days where nothing goes our way… There are still small moments where you succeed that how strong you really are!

It might be taking a deep breath before overreacting, showing up when you didn’t feel like it, or simply getting out of bed. They might seem like everyday moments that aren’t that special, but they show real resilience.

You don’t have to ignore your pain or pretend that everything’s fine. But recognising your tiny victories is an important way to focus your mind on the positives and how far you’ve come.

Take a moment right now… What have you succeeded in today? What’s going well for you in your life? Dig deep - there’s always something!

“Hello!” When was the last time you said ‘hello’ to someone you didn’t know?

It’s probably not something you’re used to. And it might sound small, insignificant, and maybe even a little weird, but it’s a simple thing that can mean a lot to people.

With loneliness becoming a growing concern in the UK, there’s no telling how much a simple act like this can mean to some people.

Whether it's a friendly greeting to a passerby or even just a smile to someone on the street, these are simple but powerful reminders that no one is really alone. For anyone quietly struggling with loneliness, a simple “hello” lets them know that they’re seen, they’re valued, and they matter.

Today is , so take a moment to reach out, whether it’s to a stranger or an old friend.

You never know who might need it most.

Why do we need an International Men’s Day?

In a world where we’re still reckoning with gender inequality, a day like this seems almost backwards. But International Men’s Day is actually far more important than you might assume, even if it’s just for one reason…

Men’s mental health.

While attitudes are slowly shifting, many men still feel pressure to hide behind a veneer of strength. They’re told to “man up,” hold it together, and be a rock for everyone else… even when they’re crumbling inside.

A man expressing his emotions was once seen as a weakness, a vulnerability. And it’s led to a crisis in men’s mental health, with men accounting for nearly three-quarters of all su***de deaths.

But like everyone else, it’s that vulnerability and freedom to express themselves that men need to thrive, no matter what they were told in days gone by.

On , we want to redefine what it means to be 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 and remind men that asking for help is a sign of strength.

No one should have to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders in silence. So let’s remind men there’s nothing emasculating about opening up and seeking help.

What does resilience look like to you? You might think about people who never fall apart - people who seem to remain calm no matter what life throws their way… But that’s not what resilience really is.

Resilience is more about learning to recover when your emotions overwhelm you.

There’s no shame in getting overwhelmed. It’s a totally normal part of life. But what matters is how you respond to it.

How do you soothe yourself and calm your emotions? What do you do to bring yourself back to the present once the storm has passed?

That’s 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Resilience isn't about pushing through the pain and pretending you’re fine. It’s about mindfulness and self-compassion; learning to comfort yourself and understand what you need when you need it.

So be kind to yourself whenever things get too much for you to handle. Each time you tend to your emotions and put yourself first, you’re building up that emotional resilence so you can tackle bigger things later down the line.

You might not like hearing it, but everyone needs to rest - even you!

Our nervous system is fragile at the best of times, and it can’t heal or regulate when it’s constantly on alert.

“I get enough sleep each night” you might say. But that’s not necessarily the rest you might need. You need moments where your mind and body know it’s safe to pause.

When you really rest, your heart rate slows down and cortisol levels drop, giving the parts of your brain you need for focus a chance to reset.

Set aside some time today to rest and notice how your body reacts. You might want to take a gentle walk outside, spend some time away from screens, meditate, practice deep breathing - anything where you don’t pressure yourself to be “productive.”

Trust us - the world won’t fall apart if you slow down for a moment. You deserve it.

Are you scared of setting boundaries?

It’s okay if you are - you’re not alone! Most people assume that as soon as you set a boundary, you’re shutting people out forever.

But that’s not quite the case… Setting boundaries is actually more about making sure you can be the best version of yourself.

Let’s be honest: we all have limits, we all have finite energy, and none of us ever have enough time on our hands. So when you don’t set boundaries for yourself, you might find yourself feeling drained or resentful.

Just ask yourself…
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘢𝘺 ‘𝘺𝘦𝘴’ 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 ‘𝘯𝘰’?
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮?
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦?

You’re not being selfish by setting a boundary. In fact, saying ‘no’ can be one of the kindest ways to say ‘yes’ to yourself.

Perfection is overrated. Progress is so much more important!

People often assume they’re just motivated - not a perfectionist. But underneath that “motivation” is fear; fear of getting it wrong, fear of being judged or maybe just fear of not being "enough."

The truth is you don’t need to be flawless to be worthy. Your value is measured by who you are as a person, not how productive or successful you are.

Progress is what really matters. It’s the messy bit in the middle - the awful first drafts, the anxious pauses, the times you get things wrong.

Give yourself permission to be good enough today. “Good enough” is human. “Good enough” is progress. “Good enough” is good enough.

Acts of kindness are about more than just helping other people! Whether you’re giving or receiving them, they can boost moods and literally calm nervous systems.

Research shows that acts of kindness release both oxytocin and serotonin in our brain. 𝐎𝐱𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐧 is the bonding hormone that makes us feel connected and safe, while 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧 is a feel-good neurotransmitter that improves your mood. Together, they lower stress hormones for both the person who did the kind act as well as the person who received it.

Kindness doesn’t only have to happen IRL though. Hop online and you’ll find plenty of opportunities for acts of kindness: thoughtful replies, encouraging comments or simply pausing before posting that angry rant you’ll regret later… These are all kind acts that make the online world a kinder place too.

Being kind is calming, it boosts our mood and it improve the world around you for everyone - both online and IRL!

is a moment to pause as we honour the memories of those we’ve lost and the legacies they left behind.

Days like this can stir a mix of feelings - sadness, gratitude, maybe even a kind of quiet numbness. No matter how it shows up, your feelings are valid - so treat them with the same compassion you’d offer anyone else grieving.

Take a few minutes to check in with yourself today. Perhaps you feel reflective, grateful, sad or even distant. Whatever it is, that’s okay - you can notice your emotions without judging them.

Today’s not just about grief and remembrance - it’s also about the resilience and strength it takes to deal with loss, to keep going, and to hold both grief and gratitude side-by-side.

Bullying may leave invisible marks, but it’s always possible to heal.

With starting on Monday, now is a good moment to pause and consider how we can heal ourselves if we’ve ever been bullied.

Whether you ever heard unkind words, were excluded, or felt humiliated, these experiences can all quietly shape how we see ourselves. Even long after it ends, your inner voice can echo the same messages: “𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩.”

Healing begins with 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺; finding spaces and people where you can let yourself be seen without fear.

Next is 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯; learning to speak to yourself the way you always deserved to be spoken to.

If you’re still carrying the weight of being bullied in the past, just know that you’re not defined by what happened to you.

Lots of us were always taught that strong emotions are a weakness - that we should “hold it together” or “stay positive” no matter what life throws at us…

But emotions are 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, not malfunctions.

For example, anger is a signal that a boundary has been crossed; sadness shows you that something meaningful has been lost; and anxiety means we care about whatever’s coming next.

So instead of pushing every emotion away, try to 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 to what they’re saying.

07/11/2025

Emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when you keep them bottled up and left unspoken.

That’s why simply naming what you feel - whether it’s sad, anxious, disappointed or relieved - helps to shift your brain from chaos to clarity.

When you label a feeling, it moves you from 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 that emotion to 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 it instead. It’s a tiny bit of space but enough to let you ask yourself whether you need to soothe yourself, talk about it, rest or act on it.

If your emotions start to overpower you today, try to pause and ask yourself: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸?

Be specific - and be kind to yourself as you answer. You can’t heal what you can’t name!
