@ChilternActive @WalkInHerShoe @ActiveFamEnf Thanks for the tip - definitely need some motivation to get back to ‘normal’ again 😊

Who else is going to join me doing this? @WalkInHerShoe @StepsChilterns @ActiveFamEnf #2019 #yoga

Rough sleeping when it's this cold can be deadly. If you see someone on the streets in England or Wales please share their location with @Tell_StreetLink If you're in Scotland contact your local council. For other ways you can help visit: crisis.org.uk/get-involved/h…

@ChilternActive @FoodtalkRD Good advice! My meals are all over the place at the moment, timely reminder 😊

Don’t skip meals if you’ve overeaten! Some good tips over @FoodtalkRD #goodfood

@HerOutdoors_Ed @SocialBite 👏🏻

Our Cub Scouts took did a sponsored night hike and sleep-out this weekend for @SocialBite, learnt loads about homelessness and raised over £750 for this great campaign #weesleepout #skillsforlife 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🏞️🎯😊

@ChilternActive Great gif work @ChilternActive 👍🏻

Thank you so much for joining my tweet chat 🙏🏼 Loads of inspiration shared! #30minswellbeing

@styleitlocal I think I’m very similar - this year I recognised that I need to simplify - not easy 😳

@StepsChilterns Hopefully to plan and slow down a little and enjoy the moment of just 'being' instead of always planning and on the go! #30minswellbeing

Q5: What would you like to do differently in 2019 to support your wellbeing? #30minswellbeing

@ChilternActive @MyMindful5 Thank you for sharing! Hope you find a suitable place for 🧘‍♀️

@StepsChilterns Oh I’ve not thought about it but like @MyMindful5 put it higher up on my to do list. And definitely 🧘‍♀️ #30minswellbeing

@MyMindful5 Good to hear! I’m sure you more than look after everyone else, so need to make sure you are replenished too 😊

@StepsChilterns Great question! I’m going to focus on putting my wellbeing first (or at least not at the bottom of the pile) and not feeling guilty about looking after myself. #kindness #30minswellbeing

@niksmaclean Definitely puts me in the right frame of mind for sleep... 😴

@StepsChilterns Evening mostly. Mornings are too hectic.

Q4: What other activities do you do weekly to support your wellbeing? #30minswellbeing

@ChilternActive Me too - I feel so lucky that reading books is something I’ve done from a young age - enables me to properly switch off #30minswellbeing

@StepsChilterns Trying to relax, reading a book every night even if just for 5 minutes and snuggling on the sofa with my little ones! #30minswellbeing

@niksmaclean I’ve been trying a couple of apps for a while now - are you a morning or evening meditator? 😊

@StepsChilterns Recently tryng meditation which I'm loving! I use the on-line 10 minute meditations and love that wee bit of peace and calm. #30minswellbeing

@MyMindful5 They do, don’t they? I always try to buy some to go on holiday - the intention is there, even if they go unread!

@StepsChilterns Oh magazines always feel like such a luxurious treat. I love the interiors ones, my favourite is Homes and Antiques. #30minswellbeing

@MyMindful5 That’s such a good point. I think being a busy parent, it’s even more crucial to make those regular in-person connections

@StepsChilterns I always need a bit of time with my friends, it’s usually a play date involving our small kids too, but being around my friends definitely supports my wellbeing. I notice a change in my mood if I haven’t seen them during the week. #30minswellbeing

@styleitlocal Yes, super important as well - for me, it is magazines - I have loads around the house and never any time to sit down with a proper cuppa and actually read them!

@StepsChilterns A4 Always a run/cycle at weekends with our LB, but I'm conscious that to stop and do nothing is needed as well! Something I need to work harder at!
