Rest is not a reward. It’s part of your stability. Give yourself permission to add rest into your year on purpose. #WellnessTips #MindfulLiving #BalanceYourLife

Choose habits you enjoy, not ones that drain you. If it feels good, you’re more likely to keep going. #PositiveHabits #MentalWellbeing #HealthyHabits

You don’t need to fix every area of life in January. Pick one thing to work on and let the rest wait. Simpler is kinder. #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareJourney #OneStepAtATime

Instead of changing everything overnight, choose how you want to feel this year. Let gentle intentions guide your actions. #MindfulLiving #GentleIntentions #MentalWellbeing

As many prepare to mark Christmas, and others simply welcome a few quieter days, we want to say thank you.

To our staff, volunteers, partners and supporters — your compassion, professionalism and care have made a real difference this year.
Thank you for being part of that.

If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing, what would it be? This question helps in counselling to spark reflection and meaningful conversations. Explore more in our blog! https://ow.ly/iyrN50XKnqH

Before you set any new intentions, give yourself time to rest and reset. A clearer mind makes kinder, more realistic goals. #IntentionalLiving #RestAndReset #MindfulGoals

Not all impact fits neatly into a report.
Sometimes it’s a person feeling less alone.
A conversation that shifted something.
A moment of relief when someone realised support was available.
These are the moments that stay with us, and why our work matters.

Go round the table and name something you’re thankful for that isn’t obvious. It gently brings perspective when everything else feels overwhelming. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

One evening with no screens, no to-do list, no pressure. Just calm. Let your nervous system catch up with your body. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

If all the plans, noise and socialising feel too much, try the one in, one out rule. For every event you say yes to, say no to another. Balance is self-care. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

It’s okay if it’s not your season. Plan one thing that feels grounding, a walk, a good film, or time with someone who gets it. You’re allowed to step away from the noise. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

Can you be the voice to make change?
We are looking for people who have personal experience of using mental health services in Trafford and who want to offer feedback on their experiences, with the intention of improving access to support and amplifying the voices of service users.

Pick one day where nobody gets dressed properly. Stay in pyjamas, eat leftovers, and watch something comforting. It’s a reset button in disguise. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

Sharing experiences reminds us why our work matters. Counselling can transform relationships and well-being. At CFC, we're here to support you. You don't have to face it alone!

If you’re hosting in December, share the load. Ask everyone to bring one dish or help set the table. It’s more fun when everyone chips in (and you’re not chained to the oven). #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing

It can be tough to watch everyone else’s celebrations online. Curate your feed, mute certain hashtags, or take breaks from social media if it starts to affect your wellbeing. #gentleseason #mindfulmoments #winterwellbeing
