🎄🎄Ok, so it's the season of peace and goodwill, right? Joy, cheer, kindness and giving. Well, it's nice to aspire to and wonderful if you can find the holiday spirit🎁.
For many of us, the run up to the holiday season can present a number of challenges. In these busy pre-Christmas days, there can be increased stress, expectations, social engagements, extra pressure on finances, time pressures, and so much to remember - oh, and the parking (let's not even go there!). So we thought we'd try to help out with some gentle reminders to support your wellbeing during the festive season:

✨ 1. Keep expectations realistic 💭
You don’t need to do everything, be everywhere, or make everyone happy. Focus on what truly matters to you and let the rest be “good enough.”

✨ 2. Protect your energy 🥄🥄🥄
The holiday season can drain even the most resilient people. Build in small pockets of rest — a quiet cup of tea, a short walk, or 10 minutes of breathing space. Save your spoons for what matters.

✨ 3. Say “no” when you need to 🙅‍♀️
It’s absolutely okay to decline invitations or step back from commitments. Boundaries help prevent burnout and allow you to enjoy the moments you do show up for.

✨ 4. Stick to supportive routines where possible 🥱
Sleep, meals, movement, and medication routines often fall away during this time — yet they’re the things that keep us steady. Keep these in balance when you can.

✨ 5. Notice signs of stress early 🐌
Irritability, fatigue, overthinking and feeling “on edge” are all cues to slow down and take care of yourself.

✨ 6. Reach out if you’re struggling 🫱🫲
This season can be especially hard for people dealing with family conflict, grief, loneliness, or mental health challenges. Support is available, and you don’t have to manage everything alone.

At Axon Health, we love that our work is dedicated to supporting people through the highs and lows of the year. If you need support, guidance, or even just a space to breathe and regroup, we’re here. Richard has the kettle on!

Wishing everyone a gentle, grounded and meaningful holiday season. 💛

Update: we are closed until Tuesday -so no work tomorrow!
Our motivator is just fine - so good that some of us are back Tuesday even though it's holiday 😄. We will take some time to fill the tank and install a filter in the mean time!

💅Carers sometimes don't see themselves as carers, and sometimes struggle to take time for their own support. Carers Week recognises the important role of carers and the support available to them. 👨‍👧‍👦

National Carers week is a chance to recognise, celebrate and raise awareness for the 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care to a loved one, family member or friend.

If you’re an unpaid carer, don’t forget there’s always support available for you at Carer Gateway.

To learn more, please see comment below.

🤗 Carers do an amazing job. Great to know there is support for carers, when they need it.

Carers can be of any age. Children and young adults under 25 years of age are called young carers.

If you are aged 25 or under and provide unpaid care and support to a loved one, family member/s or friends, you may be able to get support.

Young carers can face many challenges. They might find it hard to:
🔎 find the services and help they need
🏫 do well at school when looking after someone else
🤝make or keep friends, or to go out and socialise.

There is support for you, contact Carer Gateway on
1800 422 737, Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 5 pm or visit: https://www.carergateway.gov.au/your-life-carer/your-life-around-caring/experiences-backgrounds/support-young-carers
