🌱Wednesday Wellness - Creativity, Self-Care & a Special Giveaway! - 29July26🎁

We have an extra special Wednesday Wellness for you today.....

When life feels overwhelming, creativity can be a powerful form of self-care. Whether it's painting, knitting, photography, colouring, gardening, scrapbooking, sewing, baking, writing, pottery, or any other creative pursuit, making something with our hands can help us slow down, focus on the present moment, and express emotions that can sometimes be difficult to put into words. 💗

During your experience with breast cancer, creativity can provide a sense of accomplishment, distraction from worries, connection with others, and space to simply enjoy doing something for yourself. There doesn't need to be a goal, and it certainly doesn't need to be perfect. The process itself can be just as valuable as the finished result. ✨

🎁 This week's giveaway!

📸 Share a photo of something you've created in the comments below. It could be anything from a craft project, artwork, garden, baked treat, knitted creation, photograph, journal page, or any other creative endeavour.

🏆 The photo with the most likes will win a special home wellness pack!

🎨 Show us your creative side in the comments below! 💕

  • Some of my diary entries during treatment - 

    My stomach is flat. It’s just the L is silent.

    Commas are important - No more vodka. No, more vodka

    Do people who run marathons realise they don’t have to?

    Sometimes I hear the voice of chocolate at night, calling to me from the kitchen. The veges are oddly quiet.

  • I’m knitting a scarf 🧣 😂 I started it just over a year ago while my mum was dying. Still haven’t finished it! My aim is to work on it while this breast cancer journey is unfolding. 

    I’ll try to share something I create over the next day 

  • That is awesome, Daina_BCNA​ !!  VERY creative!  They always say when plating up food, we should 'eat with our eyes'!!!   

    If it doesn't LOOK inviting - specially for kids! ..... they won't eat it!

    They should WOLF that lot down!!  😀
