Amidst everything you do for others, remember this simple truth: You are the most important thing!

It's a reminder we all need: Give yourself permission to slow down. 😌 Take a deep breath and give your mind the rest it deserves.

A gentle reminder from all of us at Dorset Mind: You have full permission to Take your time. Slowing down doesn't mean failing. It means protecting your energy so you can keep going. ☕️

Remember this: Progress is progress, every single step counts. Don't discredit your efforts because they feel small. If you made a single positive choice today, you won.

On a white baground, written in blue and res quotation marks are the words : " Walking a marathon for Dorset Mind, was both physically demanding and emotionally uplifting. Each mile tested my endurance, in particular the last few miles where it rained heavily, but the thought of supporting a meaningful cause kept me going. The team spirit among fellow walkers, which includes dancing when we were getting tired to keep our spirits up, made the journey unforgettable. Blisters and aching muscles faded in comparison to the pride of crossing the finish line. Knowing that every step helped raise funds and awareness gave the experience a deeper purpose. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a powerful reminder of resilience and the impact we can make when we come together. Clare Cooper - Trethowans Dorset Mind's Big Walk 2024"

It's a beautiful thing to put yourself first. 💙 Taking care of your mental well-being isn't selfish—it's essential. This is your reminder that it's okay to choose you.
