Winter can feel heavier with darker days, rising pressure, and less time to pause.

Here are some simple ways to look after yourself this December:

• Get outside during daylight hours
• Short walking breaks or walking meetings
• Set realistic workloads
• Regular check-ins (ask twice)
• Protect breaks and boundaries
• Add moments of connection and kindness

Small habits make a big difference.
