We can all feel the pressure of a new year to set ourselves challenges or goals, but it can become overwhelming.
π Our advice is to do whatever feels right for you.
π Take care of you and your needs.
Christmas isn't easy for everyone.
π If you need to reach out for help over the festive period, you're not alone, there's always somewhere to turn for support.
Thank you to Smiles Nursery for supporting our Mental Elf Runs this year
π The team sponsored a couple of runs for their children, in addition to fundraising, and made sure Buddy and our team felt so welcome.
π We hope you enjoyed making magical festive memories with us!
πThe festive season can be stressful - itβs okay to prioritise your needs
πTake a moment to breathe
π Treat yourself with the same kindness youβd show a friend
π€ Focus on what brings you comfort & peace
π€ You deserve to enjoy this time in a way that feels right for you
π A big thank you to @OneITss for supporting our Mental Elf Runs
π₯It sponsored one of the runs & the team volunteered at local schools across Teesside
πWe hope they had as much fun as Buddy and the children did!
πThank you again - we couldn't do what we do without you
π Christmas can be a time of joy, but for others it can be lonely
π Whether youβre missing loved ones, far from family, or feeling isolated, know that your feelings are valid
π€ Check in on those who might be feeling lonely - a little kindness can go a long way
