🎄 Day 2 – The Emotional Drop

The day after Christmas can feel heavier than expected.
The noise quietens, the distractions fade, and suddenly emotions surface.
This emotional drop is normal.
It’s your body and mind coming out of survival mode.
Nothing needs fixing today.
You don’t need to rush yourself back to “normal.”

Meet yourself with kindness — especially in the moments that feel tender 🤍
You’re not alone in this.

Christmas Day can bring up more than just joy.

It can hold sadness, grief, loneliness, disappointment, or a strange sense of flatness — especially after weeks of build-up.

If today doesn’t feel how you thought it would, nothing has gone wrong.
Your nervous system is settling after weeks of rushing, giving, and holding everything together.
You don’t need to force gratitude.
You don’t need to perform happiness.
You’re allowed to acknowledge what’s real for you.
Whatever you’re feeling today is valid.
Be gentle with yourself 🤍

Save this if you need permission to just be today.

Spreading the Christmas Joy 🫶

After we secured a small pot of funding from Linking Generations Northern Ireland. Julie and Susan, along with the P7 class from St. Patricks Primary School Ballygalget, treated the incredible residents of Barrhall Residential Home to some handmade Christmas decorations along with an amazing morning of carol singing.

The children from the school were simply sensational, interacting with and entertaining the residents and the songs they sang would have taken your breath away. A huge thank you to Mrs O'Prey and Mrs Birt from the school for their incredible hard work and also all the staff and residents at Barhall for making us feel so welcome. We were also able to get our new minibus out for its first run.

This is what Christmas time is all about 🫶🎄

Trollies Transformed 🫶🛒

We finished up our 4 week Transform your Trolley programme yesterday with our great friends at The Warehouse Newtownards. This programme in collaboration with Safefood and the Healthy Living Centre Alliance is aimed to support families with a healthier, cheaper and more balanced food shop.

Over the 4 sessions we looked at 12 ways to a healthier food shop, how to meal plan, eating well on a budget, the benefits of batch cooking, how to avoid food waste, the eatwell guide and also food labelling. Yesterday we finished up with a cooking demonstration of how to cook a delicious healthy, hearty meal on a budget with mince, carrot, peas, onions and mashed potato on the menu. The participants were also given the required ingredients to take home to make their own.

A huge thanks to everyone for joining me over the past 4 weeks, it was such a pleasure getting to know you all, the craic was mighty and also to Jennifer from the South Eastern Trust dietetics team and my sous chef Andy from Inspire.
