Unplug & Recharge

Take a break from the digital world! Stepping away from screens - even for a short while - can help reset your mind and heart. Try a walk, a mindful moment, or just enjoy the quiet. You deserve it!

Find Inspiration & Strength

Read, listen, and reflect. Queer stories remind us how far we’ve come and the strength in our communities. Find a podcast, book, or movie that lifts you up!

Uplift and Be Uplifted

There’s so much kindness, joy, and resilience in our communities. Whether it’s a heart warming story, an act of solidarity, or a moment of triumph - seek out the good and share it. Hope is inspiring, and love is meant to be passed on.

Nourish Your Body & Soul

Eating well is an act of self-care. Nourish yourself with food that makes you feel good - whether it’s a comforting meal, fresh fruit, or a favourite treat. Be kind to your body from the inside out.

Prioritise Rest

A good night’s sleep is essential for your well-being. Set up a bedtime routine, create a cozy space, and allow yourself to truly rest. You deserve to wake up refreshed.

Be Gentle With Yourself

If you’re struggling, be kind to yourself. Healing takes time, and no one is perfect. Speak to yourself the way you would to a dear friend - because you are worthy of patience and love.

Find What Brings You Joy

Knitting, gaming, painting, cooking - whatever brings you happiness, make time for it! Joy isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Do what makes your soul smile.
