Getting back into routine after the festive period can be a difficult time for us all. January also puts a lot of pressure on our finances, which can cause stress and anxiety that directly impacts our mental wellbeing.
It’s really important that you take time for yourself this January. Self-care can be taking a step back, spending time alone, making time to do things you enjoy, putting yourself first, setting boundaries or asking for help and support.
We want to learn more about our Cobalt community’s self-care activities over on our Facebook and Instagram pages! Whether you go for run, try and stay hydrated, listen to music or get an early night, drop your self-care tips in the comment section below for the chance to win a highstreet voucher!
