Keeping Well in Times of Change
Self-care reminders
When big changes are going on in our life, we can have moments of overwhelm. At these times especially, let’s remind ourselves of some basic needs –
- Create warmth and comfort, rest whenever needed
- Eat as well as you can, foods that strengthen and nourish
- Keep hydrated, drink plenty of water. Avoid anything that weakens or puts further stress on you.
- Be around people who help you to feel safe, talk to others, share your feelings, ask for support
- Allow others to help and support
- Take time in nature each day, even a moment tuning in to birdsong or watching the sky or trees
- Express yourself through journalling or artwork, singing or shouting, sounding, in the shower for example can be great for releasing emotion
