Form a Meditative Routine

Dr Sophie Mort, Clinical Psychologist and Mental Health Expert at Headspace, suggests how you can weave mindful moments into your day:
1. Take a pause: Stop, pause, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths — in through the nose, out through the mouth.
2. Judge less: When you realise, you’re getting caught up in overly critical thinking, catch yourself, note it and let it go.
3. Be active: Movement can boost our feelings of happiness and wellbeing. This can be as simple as a mindful walk or being out in nature.
4. Connect: Reach out to people around you—family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours.
5. Wind down before bed: Sleep is challenging when you have small children, so it’s important to get to sleep better by winding down and powering off at least 30 minutes before bed.

It will shine a light on the women who have courageously battled oppression and advocated for change but have regularly had their work ignored or forgotten.
By commemorating the trailblazing women from literature, music, fashion, sport, business, politics, academia, social and health care, and more, Black History Month will hope to inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams. Here are some of the ways you can celebrate it.
