💜 Mid week wellness ……

Take a few deep breaths to relax the mind, body and soul.

This also relaxes the muscles and any tension held in our bodies.

Try it now.

Breathe in through the nose for the count of 4 and exhale slowly through the mouth for a count of 6.

Repeat a few times.

How does it feel?

Sunday night wobbles!

Does the thought of working tomorrow fill you with dread or panic!

It needn’t.

If you’ve not planned anything for the week don’t let it ruin your Sunday evening.

Grab a piece of paper and write 3 things down you want the children to learn this week or activities you want to do. Then put it down.

Enjoy your Sunday evening whatever that means for YOU but don’t think about work.

✨Relax
✨Read
✨Bath
✨Meditate
✨Stretch
✨Watch tv
✨Listen to a podcast

It doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s for YOU ❤️

💚 World Mental Health Day – A Little Reminder for Childminders 💚

Today is a reminder that your mental health matters too. 🌿

As childminders, we spend our days caring for little people, supporting families, planning activities and managing the many responsibilities that come with running our own businesses.

We give so much of ourselves to others, but how often do we stop and ask ourselves… “How am I really doing?” 💭

Being a childminder can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be exhausting, lonely and overwhelming at times.

💕 You don’t have to be strong every day.
💕 You don’t have to do everything perfectly.
💕 You are allowed to rest without feeling guilty.
💕 You can ask for help and talk about how you’re feeling.
💕 You deserve the same care, kindness and understanding that you give to the children in your care.

Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish; it’s an important part of caring for others.

🌿 So today, take a little moment just for YOU. Step outside, enjoy a cuppa in peace, take a few deep breaths or reach out to someone who understands.

And if things feel difficult, please don’t struggle in silence. You matter, your wellbeing matters, and you don’t have to face everything alone. 💚

💬 Let’s check in with one another: How are you feeling today?

No judgement, no pressure to be positive — just a safe space for childminders to support each other.

Please forward this to ever childminder you know ❤️

🌿 Let nature help you feel a little better 🌿

Sometimes wellbeing doesn’t have to mean doing more.
Sometimes it means stepping outside and simply being. 💚

Nature can give our minds and bodies a little space to breathe:

🌳 A gentle walk can help clear your mind
🌸 Looking at flowers, trees and changing seasons can bring a sense of calm
🐦 Listening to birdsong can encourage us to slow down and be present
☀️ Natural daylight can support our body clock and sleep
🍃 Even sitting quietly in the garden for a few minutes can feel restorative

You don’t need a long walk or a beautiful countryside view.

Open the door. Step outside. Notice what you can see, hear, smell and feel.

Just 5 minutes of connecting with nature can be a lovely little act of self-care. 🌿💚

Today’s gentle reminder:
You don’t always need to escape your busy life — sometimes you just need to pause and notice the world around you. ✨

Just sitting here with this view.

Nature is a wonderful healer.

Stop for a minute and just notice what’s around you when you are next outside.

Hello and welcome all new followers.

My post may be a bit random at the moment as sadly my Dad passed away yesterday.

I am taking some time off and going away to process this but also making a point of looking after myself.

Posting things will help me and possibly you too, so I may still post from time to time because what I find in the way of self-care and wellbeing for myself may help us all in our busy lives not matter what we’re going through.

So today, start your day with a few deep breaths and plan what you will do ‘just for you’ this weekend. No matter how big or small it is, it’s for you.

❤️ YOU DESERVE IT x

Let me know in the comments what you plan to do as it might inspire others.
