Some tips from our friends at Mentor Scotland for mental health and wellbeing this Christmas.

We'll be adding our Mental Health Awareness Show with Mentor Scotland from last Saturday to the listen again pages very soon!

Taking Care of Your Mental Health This Festive Season

We aren’t professionals, and we don’t offer advice, but here are some tips that might help you take care of your mental health and wellbeing during the festive period:

1. Connect with others.
Take the time to have a conversation, even a lighthearted one. Listening and sharing moments with others, without judgment, can make a big difference in how you feel.

2. Keep moving.
Movement is incredibly important for mental health. A 15-minute walk, getting fresh air, and being outdoors can work wonders for your mind and body, helping to calm the nervous system.

3. Enjoy a shared moment.
Whether it’s having a meal, sharing a cup of tea, or simply sitting together, these small shared moments can bring comfort and connection.

4. Take things one step at a time.
If tasks feel overwhelming, break them into smaller, more manageable steps. Small actions, like tidying one space or running a simple errand, can help you feel calmer and more in control.

5. Slow down and breathe.
Amid the festive rush, remember to take time for yourself. Step outside, pause for a moment and focus on your breathing. Slowing down can help reduce stress and ground you in the present.

If you’re struggling, remember it’s okay to reach out. Speak to someone you trust, connect with a support group, or simply let someone know how you’re feeling. You are not alone.

This Christmas, be kind to yourself. Take time to rest, connect, and look after your well-being.

Merry Christmas,
Jamie
End the Stigma ❤️
