Cold days making you feel a bit disconnected? ❄️
Even a quick text, call, or coffee with a friend can:
• Boost feel-good chemicals like oxytocin
• Reduce stress
• Protect against anxiety and loneliness
Connections don’t need to be huge - tiny gestures go a long way ❤️

Shorter, darker days can make staying active challenging, but movement is vital for physical and mental health. Regular activity:
• Improves mood and reduces anxiety via endorphin release
• Supports cognitive function and concentration
• Reduces stress and boosts energy

Ditch the doom scroll!
Feeling drained from endless scrolling or back-to-back tasks? Small, intentional breaks can reset your mind, reduce stress, and support both mental and physical health.
Short breaks help regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol and help improve attention.

Today is #QuittersDay, when many people stop #DryJanuary®!
If you’re tempted to stop, here’s a reason to keep going (or swap to alcohol-free alternatives).
Even reducing your intake (not cutting it out completely) can help with sleep, anxiety, gut health, and concentration.

Four mentally healthy activities for January
January is a good time to lean into slower, supportive habits. Gentle movement, creativity and social connection all help regulate mood and stress.

#DryJanuary has a surprising benefit: better gut health!
Alcohol disrupts the microbiome, increases inflammation and damages the gut lining.
Small ways to help your gut: Include fermented foods and 30+ plant types per week, reducing UPFs and increasing wholefoods

There’s pressure to go full speed, but biology says winter slows us down. Short daylight shifts circadian rhythms - lower serotonin, higher melatonin - so we feel tired and less motivated.
Even hedgehogs are hibernating. It’s okay to go slow 🦔

The holidays are all about celebrating, but it’s also the perfect time to be mindful of how alcohol can affect your mental health.
Celebrate with a festive mocktail or gut-friendly kombucha instead of alcohol. Too much can disrupt sleep, increase anxiety, & lower mood.

Did you know? Stress can make our cortisol levels rise earlier than they should, often between 1–3am, waking us up much earlier than planned.
Cortisol triggers our body’s fight or flight response, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, making it hard to drift back to sleep.
