☕ Little things that bring comfort

On the hardest days, it’s rarely the big life-changing moments that get us through - it’s the tiny anchors.

The warm mug between your hands.
The dog who somehow knows.
The walk you didn’t feel like taking but felt better after.
The song that resets your breathing.
The blanket, the book, the brew.
The candle you light for no reason except it helps.

We talk a lot about self-care like it has to be a weekend away or a full routine but most of the time, comfort lives in the small, familiar things.

So this week’s gentle question:

What’s one small thing that brings you comfort when you need it?
A scent? A snack? A space? A sound?
Feel free to comment with a word, a photo, or even an emoji.
Your little thing might be someone else’s lightbulb moment.

🌿 Here’s What’s Happening This Week at Riverside

November has arrived with colder days, darker evenings… and the perfect excuse to prioritise the things that genuinely help you feel grounded and well.

Whether you need to unwind, stretch, recharge, or just breathe somewhere that isn’t your inbox, this week’s timetable offers a mix of calm, movement and support to suit whatever state you’re in.

✨ This Week’s Highlight:
Our ever-popular Gong & Sound Baths are now a firm favourite on the Riverside schedule, taking place every other Wednesday with the wonderful .

They’re not just “relaxation” - they’re a full nervous-system reset. Deep rest, soothing sound waves and that rare feeling of walking out lighter than when you arrived. If you’ve been curious, this is your sign.

🔗 Book your space: https://www.feelingsound.co/services -a-session

Alongside that, you’ll still find our usual blend of classes and therapies - coaching, counselling, yoga, massage, reiki and more. All available here under one roof.

So, what do you need this week - support, stillness, movement or a little bit of all three?

✍️ Tuesday Tips: Journaling Prompts for Reflection

If you’ve ever meant to journal but found yourself staring at a blank page with zero idea where to start - you’re not alone.
Reflection is a brilliant tool for emotional wellbeing, but it’s much easier with a prompt to guide the thoughts rather than trying to force something profound to appear.

So here are 5 gentle, grounding prompts you can use this week, whether you’re new to journaling or returning to it:

1️⃣ “What felt meaningful to me this week and why?”
A reminder that reflection isn’t just about what went wrong, but what mattered.

2️⃣ “What (or who) brought me comfort recently?”
Helps you notice the small, steadying things you may be overlooking.

3️⃣ “What’s something I want to let go of and something I want to carry forward?”
A simple way to process what’s heavy and honour what’s helpful.

4️⃣ “What have I learned from a past version of myself?”
Past-you isn’t there to cringe at, but to learn from.

5️⃣ “What would I say to someone I miss, if I had five quiet minutes with them?”
A gentle space for remembrance, not sadness.

✨ Tip: There’s no right way to journal - bullet points, scribbles, voice notes, or streams of consciousness all count.

The goal isn’t perfect handwriting or deep poetry. It’s clarity, calm and giving your thoughts somewhere to land.

If you try one, let us know!

🌅 Your Peaceful Place

I took this picture a couple of years ago in Ibiza - one of those famous sunset spots where everyone stops what they’re doing, turns to the horizon and just… watches.

Hundreds of people, all gathered in the same place, but somehow, it still felt peaceful. Not silent, not private, but a shared kind of calm.

A moment where time slows down because everyone agrees to pause at the same time.

It reminded me that peace isn’t always about being alone or escaping real life.
Sometimes it’s just one breath, one view, one still moment - even in a crowd.

So this week’s reflection:

Where is your peaceful place?
It could be a walk, a chair, a memory, a café corner, a field, a bench, a beach, or simply the car parked outside the house for five extra minutes.

📸 If you’d like, share a photo or just a few words below.
No pressure, no deep confessions - just a chance to notice what helps you exhale.

📸 The importance of remembrance rituals

As Remembrance Sunday passes and the poppies start to disappear from lapels, many of us are still in that gentle space of looking back - not just at history, but at the people and moments that shaped our own lives.

Rituals of remembrance don’t have to be formal or public. They can be simple, personal things - flicking through old albums, visiting a familiar place, lighting a candle, cooking a family recipe, or putting on a song that instantly brings someone back into the room.

Sometimes, just sitting with a photo - remembering the story behind it, the laugh, the weather, the clothes we wouldn’t wear now is enough to ground us in both love and perspective.

So this week, a gentle reflection:
What’s one small way you remember the people or moments that matter most to you?
No right or wrong. Just meaning.

🌹 Remembrance Sunday - Leaving a Legacy

Today is a day for honouring those we’ve lost, not only in service, but in our own lives too.

Remembrance isn’t just about looking back. It’s about what we carry forward.

People don’t only leave memories, they leave lessons, values, sayings we still repeat and habits we don’t even realise came from them.

So here’s a gentle reflection for today:
What’s one thing someone you’ve lost taught you that you still carry now? - a phrase, a piece of advice, a way of living, a quiet strength, big or small, funny or profound.

❤️ Love doesn’t end, it echoes.
