Great to see the focus on physical activity for people affected by cancer. Many parts of England are already seeing better access to physical activity via Cancer Alliances’ projects, staff training and support from charities www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“You have been criticising yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” Louise Hay You don’t have to do it all. You don’t need to get it all right. It really is ok to rest. 🧡 #kindness #positivity #SelfCare Image by selfcare.recipe

Illustration by @selfcare.recipe featuring six hand-drawn rainbows in red, white, and blue, each paired with a gentle affirmation: “Don’t know what your next step is”, “Said something you didn’t mean”, “Have no answer for now”, “Feel a bit lonely or sad”, “Struggle to stay positive after everything”, and “Need to take a break for rest today”. A reminder that it’s okay to be where you are.

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague, and can be linked to other less serious conditions. See your doctor if you have changes that are unusual for you or won't go away. Repost this to help raise awareness 🔁
