Pulling together your Wellbeing Toolkit. Reflect, reset and take it forward

Wellness for Winter: PBuilding your Wellbeing Toolkit

Winter can be one of the tougher seasons. The nights start drawing in, we spend more time indoors and it can become all too easy to retreat a little from the things – and people – that help us feel good.

That’s why, from September to December, our monthly Talk & Talk sessions are becoming Wellness for Winter – a series of free sessions giving men the opportunity to try practical tools, techniques and experiences that could support their mental and physical wellbeing through the winter months.

And for December we are pulling together our Wellbeing Toolkit.

Your Winter Wellbeing Toolkit

Reflect • Reset • Take it Forward

Over the past few months, Wellness for Winter has given us the opportunity to try some very different ways of looking after our mental and physical wellbeing – from breathwork and sound, to movement and simply taking some time out for ourselves.

For our final session of the series, we're bringing it all together.

We'll revisit some of the practical tools and ideas we've explored, talk about what we've learned along the way and, most importantly, think about what actually works for you.

Because looking after our wellbeing isn't about finding one perfect answer. It's about recognising the things that help us feel better, knowing what we can turn to when things get difficult and having a few different tools in the kit.

Your own wellbeing toolkit

As part of the evening, we'll also explore journaling as another simple wellbeing tool.

And don't worry – we're not expecting anyone to sit down and write pages about their innermost thoughts!

Journaling can be as simple as taking a couple of minutes to get something out of your head and onto paper, noticing how you're feeling, recording something that's gone well or reminding yourself of the things that help when you're having a difficult day.

We'll use some simple prompts to help everyone start creating their own personal wellbeing book – somewhere to capture the tools, ideas and reminders that work for you.

You can then take it away, add to it when you want to and use it as we head through the rest of winter.

Haven't been to the other sessions? No problem!

You don't need to have attended Breathwork, Sound Bath or Pilates to take part. We'll recap some of the ideas we've explored, and the evening is designed to help everyone think about their own wellbeing – whether you've been with us throughout Wellness for Winter or this is your very first session.

It's a chance to pause, reflect and take something practical away with you as we round off Wellness for Winter together.

And with a brand new five-week New Year New You programme coming in January, we'll also give you a little preview of what's coming next.

Who can attend?

This is a FREE, men-only session for men aged 18+ living in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area.

You don't need to be a member of Walk & Talk for MENtal Health and you don't need to have attended one of our Walk & Talk or Talk & Talk sessions before. New faces are always welcome.
