Stronger Together – and Full Circle Moments

This afternoon we delivered our Stronger Together workshop to the Care Management Team within the South Eastern Trust.

The session focused on reconnecting with purpose, values and wellbeing in roles that demand so much from those who carry them.

What made it particularly significant for us is that it is almost four years to the day since we left the Trust to build Insula Wellbeing.

Leaving was not an easy decision. It involved risk, uncertainty and a deep conviction that there was more we could offer in supporting mental health and organisational wellbeing.

Standing in that room today — not as employees, but as invited facilitators — was quietly emotional.
It reminded us that growth often requires courage first, and clarity later.

We are deeply grateful for opportunities to support teams who do vital work in challenging systems.

If your organisation would benefit from a workshop focused on reconnecting teams with their purpose and strengthening wellbeing at work, we would love to hear from you.

We can all relate.

Self-criticism and stress are issues we see in every workplace we go into.

Yesterday we ran our Managing Self-Criticism and Stress Response workshop with The Centre of Learning , understanding how we each personally respond to stress and sharing simple, practical “quick reset” tools that can be used anywhere, plus creating individual reset plans through honest, relatable conversations

We work with organisations to deliver bespoke workshops, as well as our unique onsite, one-to-one wellbeing sessions, just an hour to help staff reset and feel valued.

If stress, pressure, and the all too common self-criticism feel familiar in your workplace, let’s have a conversation about how we at Insula Wellbeing can help.

Do you struggle with insomnia? Are you not able to stop your mind from going round in circles at night?
Here are some useful tips to try:
1. Keep a notepad and pen beside your bed: If you remember something you have to do the next day, write it down and get it out of your head. Similarly, if you are worried about something you cannot control, release it onto paper and allow your brain to let it go.
2. Box breathing: Let your body tell your brain to relax by trying this breathing technique. It is quite simple…breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds and finally hold for 4 seconds. Focus on the counting and the rhythm and allow your mind to relax.
3. Take care of your night time routine: Try to not eat too close to bedtime, keep your bedroom cool and with dimmed lighting, avoid all screens at least an hour before bed and even try something like an Epsom salt bath or camomile tea to relax.
Sleep matters. Take some control back and reach out for support if you are struggling.
