🌿 It’s Self Care Week! (17–23 Oct) 🌿
This year is all about prioritising YOU. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for your well-being. Here are some simple ways to enhance your self-care:
✅ Take a mindful break – even 5 minutes of deep breathing can reset your day
✅ Stay hydrated & nourish your body with balanced meals
✅ Attend a community event
✅ Connect with someone you trust
✅ Limit screen time & create tech-free moments
✅ Get enough sleep – your mind and body will thank you
💡 Small steps make a big difference. What’s one self-care activity you’ll commit to this week? Share below! 👇

Gratitude is one of the best ways to cope with difficult times, and it’s something we need now more than ever.

If you’re new to the Challenge, it’s a way to practice gratitude throughout November by sharing something you’re thankful for related to the daily prompts.

So today is about your favourite story. Mine is "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry"

What's your favourite story?

Today’s special: Dopamine! 🍽️✨🌿

Often known as the “feel-good” chemical, dopamine plays a key role in our sense of pleasure and motivation. It’s your brain’s way of nudging you toward the things that bring joy and satisfaction.

What’s on your dopamine menu today? A walk in the sun, a nourishing meal, time in nature? 🌱🤭

True medicine doesn’t always come in bottles or tablets. Exercise, sunlight, sleep, laughter, and even love play vital roles in your health. Incorporate these daily practices into your life to nurture both body and mind. Healing is within your reach, naturally! 🌸💖
