If you are looking for different ways to relax over the weekend why not try a hand breathing exercise? Use your hand to help pace your breathing and focus your attention on the exercise. Breathing deeply stimulates the relaxation response in our body and mind and when practised regularly, reduces stress &
anxiety.

💜 Happy International Friendship Day! 💜

Today we’re celebrating the power of friendship and the positive impact meaningful connections can have on our mental wellbeing. 🌍🤝

Having someone to talk to, laugh with, or simply spend time with can help reduce feelings of loneliness, improve our mood, and remind us that we’re not alone. Whether it’s a lifelong friend, a colleague, a neighbour, or someone you’ve recently met, every positive connection matters.

Why not take a moment today to:
💛 Check in with a friend.
💛 Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.
💛 Say thank you to someone who has supported you.
💛 Make time for a meaningful conversation.

Small acts of kindness and connection can make a big difference for ourselves and for others.

Happy International Friendship Day! 💕🌟

Sometimes we might enjoy our own company but sometimes we might also feel like having a chat, building new connections and learning about other people!

The Chatty Café scheme has been set up for just that and there are a few Chatter and Natter tables set up around Merton – The Potting Shed Café at Morden Hall Park, The George Inn in Morden and The Brioche Farmhouse at Deen City Farm.
