HRH The Duke of Cambridge (or Prince William as we all know him ud83dude09) was awarding me an OBE. ud83cudfc5 This in itself blew my mindu2026 u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800 So there I was. 5 months or so pregnant with Mia and feeling pretty big, so I wore all black as thatu2019s apparently slimming… ud83dude02 who was I kidding?! u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800 As he pinned my medal to me, Prince William said 2 things that Iu2019ll never forget. u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800u2800 1. u2018Whenu2019s the baby due?u2019 Now hereu2019s the thing, the Duchess was pretty neat during her pregnancies.

Whilst the virus will thankfully effect just a few of us physically, the mental health implications of the crisis are widespread. ud83dude14That is why now more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves and others. . . A little self care now, could help lay the foundations for mental health resilience. Yoga, meditation, journalling colouringu2026 whatever you need to do, PLEASE do it. ud83dude4f And encourage others to do the same. Find a practise that supports you, helps you work through issues, decompresses your weary mind and balances you.
