Sleep is often overlooked in our busy lives, yet it’s one of the most crucial elements of good health and well-being. Quality sleep doesn’t just refresh us; it actively supports our physical, mental, and emotional health. 💤 At ECU Health, we recognize the profound impact of sleep on our community’s health and well-being. We encourage everyone to prioritize sleep as an integral part of their self-care routine. How do you prioritize sleep in your daily life?

How would you like to start 2025 feeling on top of things? 🙋♀️ This may be just what you need... Lucy Chambers and I love to end our year with a retrospective - a fun, creative session that helps us filter through our experiences from the previous 12 months, so we can identify our priorities for the year ahead. We've both told people about this and lost track of how many people have said 'Wow, I'd love to do that with you!' And, as we're heading into the festive season, we also wanted to give something back... So, we're inviting you all to join us for our Charity Retro - an online session to help you start 2025 right, with 50% of your ticket price donated to Mind, the mental health charity. 📅 Date: Monday 16th December 🕤 Time: 9:30am - 11:00am GMT 🌐 Location: online To join us, simply book your ticket via Eventbrite:🔗 https://lnkd.in/d8dVeHuG And if you're reading this and thinking 'Oooh, it would be great to do this with my whole team!' then look no further! We're developing an offer for organisations to start in January 2025.

#Wellness Daily news Blog!))- Drinking green tea supply nutrients to the brain for mental clarity. Your mental state has to be nourished with some powerful herds that will allow you to move forward. With so much stress we take in on a daily basis (without us even knowing it) things begin to build up. Daily routines in our lives such as: Get up, go to work, head to the gym, meal prep for the week, check my phone, scroll social media, , go to bed, repeat.. And you ask yourself “What time did I take for myself?” We become so flustered with our daily routine that our *creative thoughts are placed on a hold. Valuable thoughts too! -The type of 'innovative ideas stored away in your mind that can lead you towards working for a Company or having your own “work-from” home business. -Working a job to build your 401(k) or building your own IRA. Drink some green tea and let your mind flourish with constructive new ideas. This will give you clarity! #Conservatism #BeintheKnow #Health #WellnessDailynews)) #Blog! #news #yourNews #goodread #Philanthropy #leadership #Management #mentalhealth #supportforthecommunity #Fundraising #Give2receive #donate #supportthecause Donate to #GoFundme link in the post thread.

ESTABLISHING EMOTIONAL SAFETY - Practice grounding, breathing and relaxation techniques In our fast-paced and often chaotic world, it is easy to become overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. Incorporating grounding, breathing, and relaxation techniques into our daily routine can help us cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience. These practices can also improve our overall mental and physical health, as they have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. To learn more on emotional safety and techniques on establishing it, sign up for our weekly therapy support group sessions. #niyashouse #freetherapysession #NPO #MentalHealth #mentalawareness #healing #healingjourney #youarenotalone #charity #nonprofitorganization #communityoutreach
