Stress doesn’t always look how we expect it to.

Sometimes it’s not obvious. It can show up as irritability, overthinking, or feeling tired but unable to switch off.

If any of these feel familiar, you’re not alone - and it might be your mind and body asking for a pause.

For the rest of today, see if you can give yourself permission to slow down, even just a little. 💛

Clocks Go Forward Tonight

The clocks go forward this weekend, and brighter evenings are a perfect reason to get out and about and look after your wellbeing.

Take advantage of the extra daylight with outdoor or nature-based activities like walking, hiking, gardening, outdoor bowls, fishing, kayaking, litter picks, cycling, skateboarding, running, nature photography........

Longford has lots of clubs, facilities and amenities to choose from and Social Prescribing helps connect you with whatever interests you.

Small steps outdoors can make a big difference for your mind, body and social wellbeing.

Contact Mary on 087 448 0835 or Tony on 087 4581178 or email socialprescribing@lcrl.ie to see how we can help you to connect to outdoor activities in Longford.

Social wellbeing is an important part of overall health

Feeling connected, supported and part of a community can reduce loneliness, improve mental wellbeing and build resilience. Strong social connections can help you thrive, and improve the quality of your life.
