It’s Monday.
The first proper one.
Work is back. School is back.
It’s cold, it’s dark.
The alarm clock has come out of hibernation.

If you’re feeling out of sync- that 'wait… what day is it?' feeling- you’re not alone.
Your nervous system has been in rest mode, wrapped in fairy lights, sofa time, and Quality Street. It needs a little time to re calibrate.

If today feels heavy, slow, or like you’re running on 40% battery, that’s normal.

The festive period is a strange mix of rest and over stimulation.
Coming back to routine can feel grounding and overwhelming at the same time. Both are valid.

Soft starts are allowed.
Extra layers are encouraged.
Surviving Monday absolutely counts as a win.

January isn’t a race. It’s a gentle re-entry. 💛
Drop a 👍 if you’re taking it slow today.

Happy New Year from Calming Minds ❤️

No pressure to reinvent yourself.
No "new year, new you."

If this year is about steadier ground, clearer boundaries, or simply noticing what you need- that’s enough.

Whether you're starting the year feeling hopeful, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, all of it is valid.

Here's to being kinder to ourselves this year.

Ever feel like your anxiety is taking over and you need relief RIGHT NOW? 🧊


The Mammalian Diving Reflex is a natural, inbuilt survival mechanism that slows your heart rate and calms your body. It’s part of your body’s ancient programming- and it’s surprisingly helpful when dealing with intense emotions like panic, overwhelm, or rage.

We've created a FREE worksheet on our Linktree, walking you through exactly how to use this technique safely and effectively.

Download it here- https://linktr.ee/Calmingmindstherapies, save it to your phone, and have it ready for when you need it.

Social calendar overwhelming you?

If you're feeling that familiar knot of dread, you're not alone.

When we're anxious, our nervous system is already on high alert. Add in social expectations, small talk, being "on" for hours, managing other people's emotions- and it can feel completely overwhelming.
This isn't about being antisocial. It's about your system protecting you.

What actually helps:

👉Giving yourself permission to say no (even at the last minute if you need to)
👉Leaving early when you've hit your limit
👉Having an exit strategy before you arrive
👉Not explaining or justifying your boundaries

You don't owe anyone your presence at the cost of your wellbeing.

No pressure to review your year, set intentions, or make grand plans.

The end of year doesn't have to mean reflection if you're not ready for it. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is just get through each day. That's enough.

You're doing what you need to do.

Friday doesn't mean the same thing for everyone, and that's ok 🌿

Maybe you're winding down for the weekend.
Maybe you're gearing up for your busiest days.
Maybe Friday is just... Friday.
Wherever you are in your week, here's your reminder: rest doesn't have to wait for the "right" day.
It can look like:

A 5-minute pause between tasks
Saying no to one thing today
An early night on a Tuesday
A slow morning whenever your schedule allows

Rest isn't a reward for getting through the week. It's something you deserve right now, whatever day it is.
When do you usually carve out time for yourself?

Only 5 sessions left of our Winter Wellness Programme! ❄️

We're now in the final stretch of our Winter Wellness Programme, and it's been wonderful to see how each person has made it their own journey.

Some participants have joined us every single Monday evening, finding comfort in the weekly rhythm and connection. Others have dipped in and out as life allowed, taking what they needed when they needed it most.

However you've engaged with the programme, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive– people are finding real value in having this dedicated space for winter wellbeing.

There's still time to join us for the remaining sessions:
📅 Every Monday at 8pm until 26th January 2026
💻 90-minute WhatsApp group call
💷 £20 per week– book at www.calmminds.co.uk/events

Whether you're looking for consistent weekly support through the darker months or just want to drop in for a session or two, you're welcome here.

HELLO MONDAY! ✨

Mondays are for new beginnings.

New week, fresh perspective. Instead of dreading Monday, what if we welcomed it as a blank canvas?
Here's your Monday reset:

One small intention for the week ahead
One moment of kindness (for yourself first)
One deep breath before the rush begins

Your Monday doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
