This month's Action for Happiness theme is Self-Care September.

Vanessa King, Head of Psychology & Workplaces at Action for Happiness, explains that self-care actions aren't selfish; they're an investment in our long-term health and well-being 🧡

Here are five ways you can start Self-Care September:

🔸 Notice the things you do well, however small
🔸 Let go of self-criticism and speak to yourself kindly
🔸 Plan a fun or relaxing activity and make time for it
🔸 Forgive yourself when things go wrong - everyone makes mistakes
🔸 Focus on the basics: eat well, exercise and go to bed on time

Keep an eye on my posts and stories this month for simple ways you can look after you 😍

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that we need to earn our rest 😬

"I'll slow down once this project is finished."
"Things will calm down after this busy period."
"I'll take a break when everyone else is sorted."

Yet somehow, another project arrives, another deadline appears, another person needs our attention… and recovery gets pushed further down the list.

But our nervous system doesn't work that way 🧡

Recovery isn't a reward. It's a requirement.

🔸 It might be a quiet walk without your phone.
🔸 An early night.
🔸 A coffee with a friend who fills your cup.
🔸 Reading a book instead of doomscrolling.
🔸 Saying no without explaining yourself.

It doesn't have to be a three-week holiday.

👉 This weekend, why not schedule one thing into your calendar that is purely for recovery?

Protect it in the same way you would an important meeting.

You may find that investing in your own well-being doesn't take away from what you have to give - it increases it 💛

🤔 When did rest become something we had to earn?

As someone who works with healthcare professionals, leaders and carers, I see this often.

The people who are the most compassionate towards others are frequently the least compassionate towards themselves.

We wear being busy as a badge of honour.
We feel guilty when we rest.
We tell ourselves we'll recharge later.

But just as our muscles need time to recover after exercise, our minds and bodies need regular opportunities to reset.

Without recovery, stress becomes our normal, our patience shortens, our thinking becomes less clear, and we begin operating on empty.

And intentional recovery doesn't have to mean escaping your life.

It might be:
🔸 Sitting in the sunshine for ten minutes
🔸 Taking a quiet walk without your phone
🔸 Saying no without explaining yourself
🔸 Giving yourself permission to do one less thing today
🔸 Spending time with someone who fills your cup

So here's your challenge this week 👇

Schedule one thing into your calendar that is purely for recovery.

Then notice how you feel afterwards.

I'd love to know - what could intentional recovery look like for you this week?

I'm working with my friend Sheryl to give my followers some extra help if you are looking to feel better within yourself.

So if you’re looking for a simple way to support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce cravings and feel more satisfied after meals, low carb eating can be a brilliant place to start. It’s not about eating less or giving up all your favourite foods - it’s about making smarter choices that help your body work with you, not against you.

This FREE Low Carb Essentials Guide gives you everything you need to get started, including a meal plan, easy swaps for your favourite foods, a product guide, macro guide and delicious recipes.
Take the confusion out of low carb eating and get everything you need in one simple guide.

Recovery isn't about escaping your life. It's about creating moments within your life that allow your body and mind to recharge.

And for many of us, that's something we need to become more intentional about 🧡

If you've been thinking about making more time for yourself, or you're feeling like you're operating on empty, this is something we can work on together.

I have a small number of coaching and supervision appointments available, with my September diary also open for when I return from Vietnam.

If you'd like a dedicated space to reflect, reset and think about what you need, book a free 30-minute call with me 💛

You don't have to earn your rest. Your energy deserves protecting.
