Life has a way of throwing curve balls when we least expect it!
Self-Care is vital for our resilience to continue and in October 2021 I ran an online Self Care Challenge where every day in the month there was a little task designed to allow you to focus on just you.
The tasks were varied, some were serious – breathing, exercising, mediating – some were less serious – getting dressed up, trying a new hobby and of course a bit of kitchen disco – all were easy and beneficial to you.
I intend to run the #rainbowhuntingselfcare challenge again, if you are interested in joining us then you can register your interest by emailing me here.
