It’s necessary…

Vitamin Sea 💙

The sounds of the sea can help reduce stress and create a sense of calm. Being near or hearing the sea can help us slow down and gain perspective.

Not only is the colour blue linked to feelings of calmness and peace, but the ebbing and flowing of sea waves de-stimulates our brains helping us to relax.

Do you feel a sense of calm when you’re at the beach, why not make plans to visit the seaside this weekend! 🌊

A lovely to-do list! 🌸✨🍃

Boundaries! ☀️

Exercise for depression
Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active.

Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression.

Any type of exercise is useful, as long as it suits you and you do enough of it. Exercise should be something you enjoy; otherwise, it will be hard to find the motivation to do it regularly.

How often do you need to exercise?
To stay healthy, adults should do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every week.

🛑 "Positive Vibes Only" Isn't Always Positive 🛑

While staying positive is important, the phrase "Positive Vibes Only" can sometimes do more harm than good. It suggests that negative emotions aren't welcome, which can make people feel like they need to hide their true feelings.

The reality is, life is full of ups and downs. It's okay to feel sad, anxious, or frustrated. These emotions are part of being human, and acknowledging them is essential for our mental well-being.

Instead of pushing for "positive vibes only," let's focus on being real, supportive, and understanding. It's okay not to be okay. 💙
