Today, July 24th, is International Self-Care Day - a day that shines the spotlight on personal health and wellbeing, and a date deliberately chosen to remind us that as we navigate the daily demands of work and life, it can be easy to neglect our own needs. Check out this guide by one of our therapists Teresa Chan, outlining tips and benefits of how making self-care a priority at work, not only benefits you personally but can also boost productivity, creativity, and overall job performance. Teresa Chan has a special interest in working with anxiety disorders, including performance and social anxiety, OCD, panic attacks and phobias. Remember, self-care is not selfish - it's essential for our well-being and enables us to show up as our best selves. Start small and experiment to find what works best for you and your schedule. Happy International Self-Care Day! #SelfCare #InternationalSelfCareDay2024 #MentalHealth #SelfCareRoutine #Creativity #Productivity

As a therapist, I know the holiday season can bring a mix of excitement and stress. With family gatherings on the horizon, many people find themselves feeling anxious, tense, or even overwhelmed. Navigating family dynamics—whether it’s well-meaning but invasive questions, unresolved tensions, or simply the chaos of everyone together—can be challenging. Remember, it’s okay to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. Take breaks, check in with yourself, and don’t hesitate to step away if you need a moment to recharge. You deserve a holiday season that’s not just about others, but also about honoring your own needs. ✨ Therapy can provide support and strategies for managing these tough situations.

Do you often feel like you are constantly meeting everyone else's needs at the expense of your own? I bet you're familiar with the term 'people pleaser'. Such behavior is often a result of a trauma response, which sadly, is strongly reinforced by society, leaving us stuck in a cycle of self-neglect. Sound familiar? If so, it's time to realize that YOU MATTER! Your needs are JUST as important as those of the people you strive to please. You can't pour from an empty cup, remember? You deserve care and attention just as much as everyone else. You deserve to prioritize your own wellbeing without being labeled selfish. After all, isn't it selfish to expect someone to sacrifice their own needs for the sake of others? Breaking free from this cycle, reclaiming your power, and setting healthy boundaries may seem overwhelming, but I'm here to help you navigate this journey. Let's chat!

Today, on International Self-Care Day, we honor the essence of self-care and the significance of nurturing ourselves through meaningful activities, whether it be for your mental, emotional and/or physical health. ✨ Fun Fact: Did you know this date of 7/24 was intentionally chosen to symbolize and promote the continuous practice of self-care any hour of the 24-hour day, any day out of the 7-day week? This implies that you should never feel guilty about carving out time for yourself, any hour of the day or any day of the week! 💚 CFLR embraces the understanding that self-care is not merely indulgence - it is a crucial dedication to our well-being. When we prioritize self-care, we empower ourselves to fulfill our purpose more effectively, allowing us to serve others with kindness and compassion. Self-care is not selfish. Join us in making this day special by sharing below 👇 what self-care means to you and/or your favorite way(s) to practice it. #CFLR #WhenTheresHelpTheresHope #InternationalSelfCareDay #MentalHealthMatters #Wellness #BePresent #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #LoveYourself #HonorYourself

It's national self care day! Self care isn't just bubble baths and taking time off. Self Care is also about making sure in the bustle and stress of every day we are ensuring we are doing all the things our body and mind need in order to function at their best. Our Support Delivery Team use the Blob Tree (by Pip Wilson) as a daily check-in tool. The idea is to move your counter next to the Blob character that most represents you in that moment. Our team have said that this tool has made them feel psychologically safe and cared for in a non-judgmental way. They find it to be a comfortable way of expressing where they are at without having to find the words. This is such a simple, transferable tool that helps build a collective care for one another, which is a key part of self care. #mentalhealthawarenessweek #rebuildinglives #rebuildinghope #wellbeing
