But sharing what you’re going through - even just telling someone you’re having a hard time - can lighten the load and remind you that you’re not in this by yourself. Reach out to someone you trust or reach out to us. Connection is healing 🤗 🌼

Try this simple technique our Health Improvement Practitioners recommend: it helps you take back control by giving your worries a specific time and place, rather than letting them run your day.

This approach can free up mental space and reduce the constant background anxiety of unresolved concerns

Our Health Improvement Practitioners share a five-step framework that breaks things down. Using a structured approach can transform an overwhelming problem into manageable steps, helping you move from stuck to action 🤗

By intentionally planning small, manageable activities - even when you don’t feel like it - you can start to shift your mood 🤗

Movement and small achievements can help lift your mood, even when motivation is low 💜
