Day 27 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... When was the last time you tried something for the first time? Some of you may be turning off immediately and thinking this activity is too challenging. It is so much easier to stay in your comfort zone where you feel safe and cosy. Nothing wrong with that, … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 27
Day 25 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... I am going to completely contradict my previous post about donating now, and tell you to do the opposite! I think both have their place in supporting your wellbeing. Don't rely on others to buy you flowers, chocolates or other treats. Take control and show yourself some love … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 25
Day 24 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... I don't know about anyone else, but if your Easter is anything like mine, I have over-indulged and spent many a penny on too many Easter treats. Like Christmas, it is a pretty overindulgent time of year. This is absolutely fine, but we must remember there are people … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 24
Day 23 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... Even us introverts need to socialise for healthy wellbeing. It is so easy for some of us to fall into the trap of avoiding people contact when we are feeling down. This is the worst thing we can possibly do! We need people in our lives to make … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 23
Day 22 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... Time to dig a little deeper into ourselves today - not as scary as it sounds! Today, it is time to reflect. Reflect on the day that has passed, or even the week/month/year so far. Take stock of the challenges and successes. What has made you feel good … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 22
Day 21 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... This is definitely one of the hardest activities for me... I am totally in awe of anyone who can do this for more than one day per week. Try to go one day this week (ideally today but depends what you have already eaten so far!) without processed … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 21
Day 20 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... So many of us fall into the trap of people pleasing. We are so keen to please, that we become afraid to disagree with someone...afraid of admitting the films we truly enjoy because we know the others think differently....scared of showing our real opinions at work...or maybe it's … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 20
Day 19 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... It is so easy to get wrapped up in all the frustrating little moments in life. Too much traffic, a tiff with a colleague, leaving a tissue in the laundry (my worst one!)...these silly things can have a really negative impact on you. And that's okay! We will … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 19
Day 18 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... We are going for a physical one today...well I say physical, but actually this will really support your mental wellbeing too. All I ask of you today is that you drink...although the following quote from NHS is from 2011, it still stands: NHS Choices' page on Water and … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 18
Day 15 of 31 Days of Wellbeing... This is probably the hardest mental activity to do so far. We are often told to make a list of our strengths as part of a wellbeing challenge, but in Fearne Cotton's 'Happy: Journal' book, I was asked to do something completely opposite, which was scary but actually … Continue reading 31 Days of Wellbeing: Day 15
