This week the Viadcoms team are on a well deserved break until next month when we’ll start delivering on our schedule for 2026.

The ‘content creator malady’ is one of the subjects we’ll be posting about in the coming months. Whilst it’s not quite a recognised medical condition yet, I foresee it becoming one in the future. So, you heard it here first.

To give you a heads up, this condition is a way of describing the mental, emotional and physical challenges that content creators face in this current digital age.

It is a description of the pressures content creators face to continually produce regular fresh content for the consumption of their followers.

In a nut shell, an ailment ‘the trade’ can bring on just so that you can get your daily fix of social media content. Who knew it? That something which initially showed up as light entertainment is spiralling to towards becoming taxing enough it almost claims your sanity.

To watch out and read our posts on this in the next few weeks, just look for us, VIADCOMS on any of the social media platforms and follow us so you can get regular updates.

Many people struggle to “switch off” during the festive period. Even when they finally stop working and take their break for the season, their mind still races.

Colouring offers something different from scrolling through social media as a distraction.

It gently engages the mind without overstimulation, helping mental noise settle naturally.

For tired minds and emotionally full days, this kind of quiet focus can feel deeply restorative.

Therapeutic colouring books are designed to support this slower rhythm, without pressure or perfection.

They simply offer a quiet space and place to leave life’s pressures behind and engage in a self-directed, relaxing, therapeutic intervention.

Today’s colouring offering is a pot of cyclamen. They often come in colours: red, white, and pink. For the pot, choose any colour you like.

Happy colouring!

💚

Last week, we started talking about psychological decompression and being able to slow down enough during the festive season to “catch enough time to care for yourself” and recuperate after a long year.

One of such techniques is colouring. The festive season can be joyful but overwhelming too. Expectations, social commitments, and emotional overload can quietly push the nervous system into overdrive.

Colouring offers a simple way to slow things down. You do need to be purposeful about it, though.

The repetitive motion, gentle focus, and predictability can help the body shift out of stress mode and into a place of calm.

This is why therapeutic colouring can be especially helpful at this time of year.

Here is a page from one of our favourite resources, inspired by a garden rose.

Pause here. Breathe. And colour if you can. Then continue your day a little softer and slower.

You’ll be surprised at how relaxing colouring can be.

How are you planning to decompress over the coming break?

The festive season is a great time for catching up with friends, families and dare I say house work that has been left undone whilst we were at work 🤭.

Somehow though, we came out of the break that comes with the festive season exhausted.

What was meant to be a break turned out to be a race to catch up on everything and everyone we couldn’t whilst we worked throughout the year.

Decompressing is a key part of re-energising ourselves and replenishing our energy.
In other words, catching up with our own ‘self’.

Sadly, that’s one person we often forget!

At VIADCOMS, we believe that intentionally replenishing our energy and spending time on and with our ‘self’ helps attain a higher level of psychological grounding that keeps us functioning well from day to day.

Over the next few days, we will wind 2025 down by talking about decompression tools and techniques you can use to ‘catch up with yourself’ during the break that comes with the festive season.

Mind

Sands - baby loss charity
NSPCC
nhs.uk
Samaritans
Age UK

Although tongue in cheek, this really is a thing to think about when it comes to accessible therapy. Is the cost of therapy driving people to use AI?
