Its the second day of Advent and maybe early December has brought home to you how near Christmas now is, and there’s so much to to do!

So if you’re feeling stressed, anxious or depressed when you’re pregnant or with a young baby, we can help with our ‘Oasis of Calm’ approach.

When you’re feeling stressed, anxious or just overwhelmed by everything then take a few minutes and  try one of our ‘calming’ approaches. – The approach is about taking some time out for yourself – an ‘oasis of calm’  – in your busy life. Below is a calming meditation which combines 5 elements – each of which has been shown to reduce anxiety.

We’re providing a free resource every day of advent to help you thrive not just survive at Christmas. If you want to see the previous day’s free resources click here.

Blessings from the 1000 dreams team.
