Panic attacks can feel very real and very frightening.

In the moment, it may feel like something serious is happening to your body — but what you’re experiencing is your system’s fear response working in overdrive.

Most panic attacks last between 5 and 20 minutes, sometimes longer. Though the effects can leave you feeling shaken afterwards.

💙 Although they feel overwhelming, panic attacks themselves are not harmful. You are safe, and they will pass.

✨ If you’re having a panic attack, it may help to try a grounding technique — like slowing your breathing, noticing things you can see, hear and feel, or gently focusing on your surroundings.

👉 Swipe to learn more about what panic attacks feel like and how to recognise the signs.

💤 The Benefits of a Good Night’s Sleep 💤

As we experience shorter days and longer nights, it can affect our sleep patterns. You might feel more tired, find it harder to get up, or notice changes in your mood.

Getting enough good-quality sleep is important for our well-being. Here are some tips for this season:
🌞 Get daylight exposure during the day
🛏️ Keep a regular sleep routine
📱 Wind down by limiting screens before bed
🌿 Create a calming bedtime ritual

✨ Set yourself up for success with SMART goals ✨

When we set goals that are too big or vague, it’s easy to lose motivation. SMART goals can help you stay focused and make progress step by step:

✅ Specific – Be clear about what you want to do
✅ Measurable – Track your progress
✅ Achievable – Make it realistic
✅ Relevant – Keep it meaningful to you
✅ Time-bound – Set a deadline to stay on track

Small, steady steps add up to big changes. 💙

🎄💙 Remember: there’s no such thing as a “perfect” Christmas

The festive season can bring joy, but also pressure. It’s natural to feel pulled in different directions, especially with family, social events, and expectations.

This year, try to be kind to yourself: focus on what really matters, set boundaries where you need to, and keep things simple. You’re not responsible for making everything perfect – and it’s okay to ask for support along the way.

Taking care of your wellbeing is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. 💙

🪣💙 Empty your stress bucket this festive season

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also add extra pressure. Think of your stress like a bucket – if it keeps filling up without being emptied, it can overflow.

This season, make time for the things that help you release stress: a walk outside, talking to someone you trust, listening to music, or simply taking a few deep breaths.

Little moments of self-care can stop your bucket from overflowing – and help you enjoy the festive period more. 💙

🚪✨ “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”

Sometimes the changes we want don’t just appear – we have to create space for them ourselves. That might mean setting small, realistic goals, learning a new skill, or simply taking the first step towards something you’ve been putting off.

Remember: you don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” to start – building your own door can open up new opportunities for growth and wellbeing. 💙
