We have almost made it through January which is a tough month for many of us. Financial struggles are very real, the weather is grim, the days are still short and spring can still feel a long way off.
Taking care of yourself is especially important although hard when you may be feeling low.
Looking after your mental health is really just about being gentle with yourself. It’s giving yourself permission to slow down, to take a break, and to admit when things feel a bit much. It’s okay to not have everything figured out and to ask for help when you need it. Those small, everyday acts of care—resting, talking, being kind to yourself matter more than you think. You deserve support and kindness, especially from yourself.

Don’t struggle alone, reach out…. Change can happen.        ❤️

How many of you are feeling lower than usual at the moment? January can bring a sense of deflation ( after Christmas). The days are colder and darker, we may have already lapsed on our “New year’s resolutions” as motivation is harder to maintain. Finances can be an issue at this time of year due to overspending at Christmas. It can still feel like spring is a long way off. However, recognising that you feel low and opening up to somebody can be a great first step to feeling better. We have got past the darkest day, you are most definitely not alone. Reach out… it’s okay!

You are good enough AND the world IS a better place for you being in it. ❤️

The New Year feels like a fresh page, giving us a chance to slow down, reflect, and think about what we really need moving forward. As we look ahead, taking care of our mental health matters just as much as any goals we set. That can mean resting when we’re tired, checking in with ourselves, and reaching out to others when things feel difficult. By being a little kinder to ourselves and making space for self-care, we can step into the year ahead feeling calmer, more balanced, and ready for whatever comes next.

This Christmas, give yourself permission to rest, breathe, and enjoy the season without pressure. 🎄Now that we are counting down to Christmas Day, schools are closing, some workplaces are shutting down, here are some daily reminders to take the pressure off yourself .

Christmas can be lovely, but it can also feel overwhelming for a lot of people. If you’re not feeling cheerful all the time, that’s okay—you’re not alone. Taking a breather, being kind to yourself, and doing what feels manageable really matters. ❤️

Yesterday my husband and I set off really early in the morning to pay a flying visit to family members who live almost 200 miles from us. We were about 2hours into our journey, near Were in Wiltshire when the traffic came to a halt. It turned out to be because police had been called to a person in distress on a bridge above the duel carriageway. No traffic moved anywhere for quite a long time. I have no idea of any details regarding this person but I can only assume that they had reached breaking point. I hope this person will now get the help they need and that they can look back on this day and be so relieved that the police arrived in time. We didn’t make it to our destination but it felt irrelevant in the great scheme of things. My heart goes out to anybody who reaches this point and somehow, particularly at this time of year, it can make any problem feel magnified.
Reach out, please!! Talk to somebody, find the support, YOU RE WORTH IT!!! ❤️
