Here's your reminder to give yourself a break from notifications now and again πŸ”•

Sometimes a break from our phones can help us feel calmer, sleep better, and enjoy more of what’s happening around us.

It’s okay to slow down. To rest. To say no.

Your mental health matters, treat yourself with the same compassion you’d offer a friend.

It’s not always easy to spot when someone is struggling but small changes in mood, behaviour, or energy can be signs that someone needs support.

Check in with the people around you. A simple β€œHow are you really?” can go a long way.
