🎄 Healthy boundaries matter — especially at Christmas

The festive season can bring joy, connection… and pressure. It’s okay to say no, take breaks, and protect your time, energy, and wellbeing.

Setting boundaries isn’t selfish — it’s a form of self-care. 💙
Do what works for you this Christmas, and remember that your mental health comes first.

🎄 The Christmas Season Isn’t Easy for Everyone 🎄

While Christmas can be a time of joy and celebration, it can also bring challenges for many people.

💭 Loneliness
💭 Grief or missing loved ones
💭 Financial pressure
💭 Family stress
💭 Changes to routine
💭 Feeling overwhelmed or isolated

If you’re finding this time of year difficult, please know: you are not alone, and your feelings are valid. It’s okay if your Christmas looks different to others’.

- Be gentle with yourself
- Reach out to someone you trust
- Ask for support if you need it
🤍 Focus on what feels manageable — not perfect

Let’s look out for one another this season and create space for kindness, understanding, and compassion — for ourselves and for others.

A big thank you to Mr Learoy Hinds, Ms Francine Commend, and Ms Laura Barber for hosting a wonderful joint birthday and festive celebration for all at Devonshire Place.
It was a joyful afternoon filled with laughter and community spirit — made even more special as we celebrated Learoy’s recovery and return to good health.

A truly heart-warming (and delightfully lively!) event. 🎉💙

Day 12 of our 12 Days of Self-Care: Practice kindness to yourself today

We’re often so quick to show compassion to others, but forget to offer even a fraction of that kindness to ourselves. Today, give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and treat yourself with the same patience and understanding you’d give someone you care about.

Kindness to yourself can look like:
💙 Letting go of guilt or self-pressure
💙 Speaking to yourself gently
💙 Taking a break when you need it
💙 Acknowledging how far you’ve come
💙 Allowing space for rest, not perfection

Small acts of self-kindness can change the way you move through the day — and they matter more than you think.

What’s one kind thing you’ll do for yourself today?

Day 12 of our 12 Days of Self-Care: Write down 3 things you’re grateful for

Gratitude is one of the simplest and most grounding self-care practices — and it only takes a minute. Today, take a moment to write down three things you’re grateful for.
They don’t have to be big. In fact, the small things often matter most:
✨ A warm drink
✨ Someone who made you smile
✨ A quiet moment
✨ A cosy space
✨ A personal win, big or small

Noting what’s going well can shift your mindset, boost mood, and bring a little peace into your day. Gratitude grows wherever you give it space. 💙💚
What are your three things today?

10 of our 12 Days of Self-Care: Take a digital detox ✨
Today’s challenge: Step back from screens — even if only for a short while.
We spend so much of our day scrolling, refreshing, replying, and consuming that our minds rarely get a break.
Try one of these small resets:
✨ Put your phone in another room for 20 minutes
✨ Turn off notifications you don’t need
✨ Spend part of the evening offline
✨ Replace one scroll session with reading, music, or rest
A little time away can help quiet your thoughts, reduce stress, and bring you back into the present moment.
Give yourself permission to unplug — just for a bit. 💙

Day 9 of our 12 Days of Self-Care: Stretch or move your body
Today is all about gentle movement. You don’t need a workout routine, gym gear, or a big plan — just a few minutes of intentional movement can reset your mind and ease tension in your body.
Try one of these:
✨ A light stretch when you wake up
✨ A slow walk around your home or outside
✨ A 5-minute YouTube stretch
✨ Rolling your shoulders, unclenching your jaw, loosening your neck
Movement helps boost mood, reduce stress, and reconnect you to your body — especially on busy or overwhelming days.
Take a moment today to stretch, breathe, and soften. Your body will thank you. 💚
