Day 30 of the Challenge.

Thirty days of reflection, rest, and small moments of care.

As this challenge comes to a close, I’m pausing to honour every step; the calm, the chaos, the courage to keep showing up.

Self-care was never and should never be about perfection; it is about remembering that you matter, too.

If you joined along the way, thank you for taking space for yourself this month.

The challenge ends here, but the practice doesn’t. Carry forward what feels nourishing, and let the rest fall away.

What’s one thing you’ll carry forward from this month?

Day 29 of the Challenge.

Today has been a hard one and I nearly didn’t post. But maybe that makes tonight’s prompt even more important.

Write down five qualities you truly cherish about yourself.
Kindness, courage, honesty, humour, empathy, whatever it is that gets you through.

It’s easy to lose sight of our strengths when life feels heavy, but those parts of us are still there, holding steady.

What qualities do you value most in yourself, especially on the hard days?

Day 28 of the Challenge.

It’s late, and tonight’s prompt is a soft one, to nurture yourself in whatever way feels good.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or planned.

Maybe it’s a warm shower, your cosiest socks, or that quiet cup of tea before bed.

The point is to receive comfort, not just offer it to everyone else.

A few mindful minutes to unwind can make the world feel gentler again.

What’s your go-to comfort at the end of a long day?

Day 27 of the Challenge

Today’s prompt is a gentle one, to take a short pause from screens and constant stimulation.

Fifteen minutes might not sound like much, but that little gap can make room for creativity, reflection, or connection maybe even with the people right next to us.

Whether it’s a quiet walk, a chat over tea, or just sitting with your thoughts, this is your reminder that presence is powerful.

How do you like to switch off and reconnect?

Day 26 of Challenge.

After spending time with my counselling friends today, I was reminded that restoration isn’t always about stillness. Sometimes, it’s laughter, warmth, and community that refills our cup.

But it can also be small, private rituals like tidying a corner of your space, lighting a candle, taking a slow breath before the next thing.

Restoration doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be yours.

How do you restore yourself when life feels busy or loud?

Day 25 of the Challenge.

When was the last time you did something purely for the joy of it?

Tonight’s prompt is your gentle reminder that not everything has to be productive or purposeful.

Play, doodle, dance, sing badly, make something messy, anything that lets you drop the “shoulds” and just enjoy being you.

Fun isn’t frivolous; it’s medicine for an overworked mind.

What’s one small thing that always makes you smile?

Day 24 of the Challenge.

It’s a late one tonight because I’m human too.

Some days get busy, full, or a little overwhelming, and that’s okay.

Tonight’s prompt feels fitting: a gentle reminder that we don’t have to hold everything alone.

Think of one small way you could ask for, or allow, help whether that’s sharing a task, leaning on someone, or just admitting you’re tired.

Receiving support isn’t weakness; it’s how we stay connected.

What’s one thing that lightens your load when you let someone in?

24/10/2025

A gentle reminder from Day 23 of the Challenge.

You’re still becoming and that’s a beautiful thing.

I’m Jo, counsellor and founder of Fresh Minds Therapy, supporting women to reconnect, rest, and reclaim themselves with compassion.

Would love to hear from you.

Day 24 of the Challenge.

As the day slows, tonight’s prompt invites you to pause and reconnect with you, the you who is growing, softening, learning, and still becoming.

Write a short note or letter to that version of yourself.
Tell her what you admire, what you forgive, what you’re proud of.

She’s already inside you, unfolding a little more each day.

This isn’t about who you should be, it’s about recognising who you already are, becoming.

If it feels right, share one line from your letter below or in Stories.
