Self-Care and Relaxation - January 20th

Self-care and relaxation is highly personal to each of us - whether we meditate, pray, journal, or give ourselves a spa treatment. However, there may be times where we take part in negative coping mechanisms as a way to 'relax' such as, doom-scrolling, or over/under-sleeping and eating. This workshop aims to address these barriers in our lives which is preventing us from having a true restful period and rechargining us.

In this workshop we will be addressing how we can implement coping strategies to prevent intense stress. We will do this by focusing on the 5 pillars of wellbeing (social, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual) and how each of these elements can act in or against our favour. We will then use self-compassion and identification of needs to educate individuals on how to advocate for themselves. Lastly, we will talk further about coping mechanisms and how we can motivate ourselves to recognise harmful behaviours and use alternative behaviours in the future.

This well-being workshop is delivered as a small group via Microsoft Teams and is free for all residents of the London Borough of Sutton or those registered with a Sutton GP who are over the age of 18. Our Wellbeing team is focused entirely on improving the emotional, physical, spiritual and overall wellbeing of the residents of Sutton.
