Here's door no. 23 of my Self-Care Advent Calendar: Write a gratitude list. It may be a bit cliched but sometimes it is good to take time out and recognise what is going well, what you are grateful for and therefore what you'd like more of in 2020.

Good morning and welcome to the final door of my Self-Care Advent Calendar. I hope you've managed to maintain your self-care throughout December ... tinyurl.com/ver6nvz #selfcareadventcalendar

Good morning, before we get to #2020 a big thanks to everyone who took part in our #wakeuptothemenopause series on BBC Breakfast, today we are looking at what has changed #bbcbreakfast

When life has changed in so many ways as it has in the current situation, it is good to remind yourself of all the things that you are getting right. Here's your affirmation for today: I am everything that I need to be right now

Good morning. How is your Monday looking? A fresh new week gives you the opportunity of a fresh way of thinking so if there's something you'd like to feel differently about, today is a really good day to start making it happen!

Looking back, most of the excuses I made... not enough time not enough money not enough knowledge not the right connections ...were just ways to avoid the real bottleneck. Not enough courage. There was always a small step I could have taken—if I had the guts to take it.

Keeping fit and active doesn't necessarily mean running a half marathon every week. With so many working from home, we're just not walking as much and it's not good for us! A brisk walk every day does wonders for your health - physical and mental.

Women talking about their personal experience of menopause and some heart-breaking stories. This is not something that women have to just get on with. If you're struggling, keep asking for help until you get it. #davinamenopause

When you're working and caring for all the family, how do you make time for yourself? Self-care is not a luxury, it's essential to keep you going. #LovingLifeintheMiddle #Selfcare #Midlife

Taking time for yourself when you're busy with work and family life isn't selfish, it's self-care and essential to keep you going. #selfcare #midlife

You'll always find it harder to take time for yourself if you don't believe you deserve it. You are as worthy of your own time as others are. Remember to consider your own needs too. #selfcare #midlife #LovingLifeintheMiddle

What a wonderful explanation of hypnosis.

It can be a challenge to focus on your own self-care; particularly when you're busy with family, work and life in general. The key thing to remember is that it's not a luxury, it's essential when you're constantly giving to others. #LovingLifeintheMiddle #selfcare #midlife

Self-care isn't a luxury, it's essential to your wellbeing. Making it happen when you're busy can be a challenge but is possible. Making simple changes to both your mindset and your routine helps keep you in a good place to keep going. #Wellbeing #selfcare #LovingLifeintheMiddle

Happy 45th birthday to @LouisejoyBrown the world's first #IVF baby. Today we think about everyone who has been helped to become parents via #fertility treatment but we also think of those for whom IVF couldn't help. Sending love and thoughts to everyone. #StrongerTogether
