Be kind to your mind this Christmas 🎄 It’s important to acknowledge that not everyone finds this time of year joyful. For some, this can be a difficult time of year and so it’s important to reflect on how we can keep ourselves healthy and well throughout 💪🏼

@CYPMentalHealth A big shake up is needed in teacher training programmes to include this. Especially with postgraduate routes like PGCEs.

Adding more tools my #psychologicaltoolkit by attending the Health Coaching course. Two days done & so far and lots of useful things learned. Thanks to @ActiveLancs and @WeAreLSCFT for providing this.

@EmilyBradyYoung 🤯🤦🏼‍♀️😢

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

The most important step toward robust mental & physical health is when we realize that no single protocol, program supplement or Rx* is alone going to solve it & we instead initiate a series of *daily actions toward persistent wellbeing*. Those actions are (& always will be): 1) sleep, 2) viewing sunlight (even through clouds), 3) movement (cardio & resistance & mobility training; not necessarily all on the same day), 4) quality nutrition (content, amount timing), 5) social connection, including connection to self.

From there, the list expands, of course, based on individual needs, preferences, disposable income, etc. but the above 5 form a robust and reliable foundation.

*some people require Rx medication support of course. That does not erase the need for the basic 5 behaviors.

You can talk to your family or friends, GP or find a support group. 💚 Read more: https://t.co/h4RTT70LG0
