Keeping Well in Times of Change
Self-care reminders
When changes happen, we can feel disorientated. our reference points are shifting. Even the calmest person, who normally takes everything in their stride can lose the plot!
Sometimes it’s exhilarating, sometimes exhausting – both are completely natural.
We can have moments of overwhelm. And for those moments, it can be good to have some reminders of the basics to make sure that you are doing all you can to be your own best friend.
- 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
