LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF

Our thoughts can strongly influence how we feel and respond to situations. Sometimes, we get stuck in unhelpful thinking patterns that may not be accurate or useful. Breaking down and reshaping these thoughts are helpful ways of restructuring our inner dialogue.

When stress or anxiety feels overwhelming, grounding techniques can help bring you back to the present moment. Five Finger Breathing is a simple, hands-on exercise that regulates your breathing and calms your nervous system.

Well-being is about balance, not perfection. Life has ups and downs, and it’s normal to have days where things don’t go to plan—whether it’s missing a workout, skipping self-care, or feeling disconnected. This reflection helps you explore different areas of well-being, including thinking patterns, social activities, relaxation, and support systems. Writing down things you can do in each area creates a practical guide to staying on track, even when life gets busy.

Self-care isn’t just about one aspect of life—it’s about looking after yourself in a well-rounded way. This reflective practice encourages you to explore physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and professional well-being. Gaining insight into your current habits can help identify areas that may need more attention and create a more balanced approach to self-care.
