As we hit halfway through the year it’s a good time as any to take some time out and look after ourselves. This month we have an exciting event of 30 days Wild! We also are letting you know what’s on your doorstep in terms of support and wellbeing, and there is also a bit of colouring – yes us adults we can do this too.  All photos in this blog post - P BAILEY WellbeingWhat does this mean? Well according to good old Google © it means “the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.” How can we achieve this? First up it is looking after our health both mental and physical. Mentally we can do things to help ourselves, - talking is one of the greatest things that we can do and if you are on the end of a friend or family member who needs to talk then listening is the other greatest gift we can do. But sometimes we do need some extra help. So don’t forget – here in Abbotswood we have Take 5. This is a referral scheme please contact Alex for more details. Our partners Southern Brooks has a lots of wonderful resources so take a look here https://southernbrooks.org.uk/wellbeing/ and have some great workshops coming up so please do check them out. Don’t forget NHS has a section https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/self-help/guides-tools-and-activities/five-steps-to-mental-wellbeing/. If you are struggling in any way then please do not hesitate in seeking help. 30 Days WildA great way of looking after ourselves is being at one with nature. In the words of Chief Scout Bear Grylls “Nature is a great healer” and its true, getting out and about can really help physically and mentally. So this month we have 30 days of Wild coming up. On the 19th June we will be holding our very own event, so please keep checking our website for further details. Also each day on Facebook and Twitter we will be posting a Wild Nature theme every day, so don’t forget to follow us there and see what exciting Wild Adventures you can do this June. How else to help ourselves?Taking a few minutes a day can help us in all sorts of ways. To do this find five or if you can ten minutes to meditate there are tons of free apps and meditation online such as this one provided by Calm. Or even colouring can help us take a moment out of our day, as I said at the beginning its for all ages Here at just colour https://www.justcolor.net/ you can find lots to do, but I have found a nature one to with our wild theme enjoy. 
Hope you have enjoyed this months blog and please do take part in the 30 Days Wild.
