It's been a busy morning here at Guernsey Mind as we've learned how to use our new defibrillator! Thank you to @CardiacAction and to @SRIslandWalk Rotary Walk for their generous donation that made this possible. It's it's reassuring to know it's there if needed.

Thank you to The Imperial Hotel for hosting the New Year's Day Swim. The hot drink at the end was very much appreciated as it was rather 'refreshing' in the sea! Huge thanks to all the brave souls who joined in and to Swim All Seasons for their support. Same again next year?

If you would like to get 2025 off to a fresh start, our friends at the Imperial Hotel will be hosting a New Year's Day swim - meet at the Imperial Terrace at 9.30am. We're keeping a close eye on the weather, and will post any updates. Hope to see you there!

As we reach the end of the year, it's always good to take time to reflect. This year has one of change for Guernsey Mind, highlighted by the launch of two major initiatives: the Workplace Partnership and Supported Self Help. Thank you to everyone who has supported us.

It’s easy to indulge at Christmas, but it’s important to recognise when you’ve had enough of a good thing. Balance festive nights out with lighter days to give your body a break. If it feels like things are getting too much, it’s perfectly okay to prioritise what’s best for you.

[Guernsey Mind @GuernseyMind]

Look after yourself over Christmas. If stress levels rise, remember to take a break. Whether it’s a walk, a coffee break, or listening to music, do what helps you relax and unwind. A bit of light exercise can help lift your mood.

Manage your expectations this Christmas by focusing on what you can control. Accept that you can’t change how others behave or think. It’s perfectly okay to prioritise what’s best for you. Set your boundaries and don’t hesitate to say no to things.

[Guernsey Mind @GuernseyMind]

It can be easy to get distracted over Christmas and forget about the importance of connecting with friends, family and loved ones. Spending quality time with those close to you can mean more than the most expensive of presents. https://t.co/bPfJeq8SWE
