Christmas is over and I’m now thinking of the New Year and January. January can be such a miserable month. It is grey and cold. The glitz and excitement of Christmas have faded. So it’s so important in January to put yourself first and indulge in some self-care. January Self-Care Challenge That is why I have created a January Self-Care Challenge. Throughout the month I have set myself (and anyone else who wants to join in) a daily self-care task.…
Let’s Talk Mental Health: Taking Care Of Yourself At Home is a collaborative post Suffering with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression is more than simply feeling a little low within yourself. It’s not wanting to be alone, yet not wanting anyone else around you, it’s wanting to be productive but not being able to peel yourself out of bed, it’s feeling so tired you can’t stay awake, yet not being able to shut off your brain.
