Nourishing November 🍵
Caught between Christmas and the close of Autumn, November is always a bit in the middle. The trees are still full of dazzling colour but soon to be laid bare. The occasional sunny sky reminding us of warmer Autumn days, soon to depart! And with the clocks going back in the Northern Hemisphere, the longer nights are a clear sign…winter is coming! ❄️
So we can easily slip into a middling mood:
waiting for the festive season to liven things up, instead of living more fully today.
postponing a purposeful pursuit instead of committing this week.
ignoring signs of fatigue, instead of investing in care for our wellbeing, right now.
To move from ‘just middling’ to a sense of being centred, here’s our Nourishing November calendar with 30 ways to enjoy…
📝 SELF-CARE reminders to rest, replenish and support our wellbeing
💛 SELF COMPASSIONATE behaviours to soothe in stressful life or work moments
😌 SELF-AWARENESS filled moments to invite calm and connection and include others.
🌱 SELF-DEVELOPMENT intentions for purposeful growth and motivation
On 2nd of November, National Stress Awareness Day is a great opportunity ‘to be mindful’ of our Stress. How it can affect our health, especially in difficult times and how we can respond more self-supportively when it does! Here’s a few ways Mindfulness and Compassion helps.
A week after the fireworks, we have the global celebration of World Kindness Day. If that isn’t enough to raise your happiness and wellbeing levels, then BBC Children in Need, will certainly raise a smile. And if you are still lacking self-care inspiration, our self-care keyboard can do the work for you :)
I hope this November is nourishing for you and those you live or work with. And whether you use this calendar as part of your free guided course, or on it’s own, that it will be an inspirational way to support your health, happiness and wellbeing till the end of Autumn!

Have a wonderful day!
