We had a meaningful time at our Support Group today, Pathways and Perspectives De-Stress Cafe, ‘Chat and Cuppa’ where we discussed our experiences of life with a particular focus on what we do to help ourselves feel more positive when our mood takes a dip. We explored self-care strategies, including watching TV with a cup of tea, focusing on nature and the seasons, and looking at life from a different point of view. I light-heartedly shared my tendency to wear bright colours and funky earrings to help boost my mood. We all agreed that the sunshine today has helped heighten our sense of well-being after several gloomy January days. We also talked about family experiences, including those which place demands on our time and resources, and the richness of what it means to be part of a family.
