Holiday time - self care alphabet

Holiday time - self care alphabet

Hi everyone 👋

To continue with some holiday themed threads we thought it would be a nice to time to get some reminders happening about self care during this busy season. And why not make it fun - let's do a self care alphabet!

Going through the alphabet let's list a great self care tip, strategy, thought etc per letter.

Starting with A

Hmmmm how about Acceptance? Accepting any chaos that comes at us can really help manage anxiety or panic. The more we fight feelings of stress the more stress we can sometimes bring. It can be helpful to recognise and accept the feelings that come up so you can then manage them.

Any other A ideas or we can move to Bs?

Quit beating yourself up for the inevitable lapses.

Dont forget to allow yourself some Quiet time when you need it.

R is for relationships.

Make relationships that help you care for yourself whether they be in person or on line.

Remove toxic people from your life (this I am working on!)
