  • Sign up to the Winter Challenge "Awaken your Blue Mind'! Based on the 5 ways to wellbeing, this challenge is a treat to the senses, it is designed to help people look after their mental health over the winter months when it is easy to get a bit sluggish and lack motivation. I am proud to be an ambassador for Bluetonic, a charity which foucuses on creating opportunities to get people out into blue spaces to nourish their blue mind.
    Join us over the winter months for some inspiration in blue spaces!
    All proceeds will go to the Bluetonic charity, so make a difference to your life and to the lives of others who need support to access blue spaces.
    The challenge runs from 29th October 2023 to 31st March 2024. Complete 1 challenge a week in a blue space.
    For a £10 (£12 outside the UK) donation you will receive your:
    ‘Awaken your blue mind’ e-journal
    List of 80 challenges
    Access to our free Facebook group
    And when you finish, your badge.
    This year, there are even more challenges to keep you motivated over the winter months. You don't even need to like cold water swimming to take part - just be up for a challenge. Some are active, others are creative or mindful.
    There is something for everyone. Why not have the whole family take part? There is a family donation for £20.

    What a great set of mental health challenges for the Winter. Wish we had something like this in the states.

      You can take part from the States too for £12, we had one or two people join in from the US last winter, it’s great to have people to share winter experiences with from all over the World. Here’s the link www.bluetonic.org.uk/winterchallenge check it out 💦😀

    I am high atm but I zoned out for a bit and genuinely thought this was a BBC video-piece from countryfile/gardener's world or something; which is to say, you are a natural presenter!

      Hey Chris thanks for popping by to say hi. I have a video with a swim in it coming up soon. I hope to be more regular now as I start to rehab from a back injury which has seen me on the bench since mid-July. Thanks for sticking around. Starting to think of some new topics to cover too. Any ideas, send the my way!

    Hey Rachel, it’s great to see you in, on, and around the water once again. There are so many fun, relaxing, free, and invigorating things to do that involve water. Thanks for sharing this. I think I must read that “Blue Mind” book some time. Soon all our water will be frozen here in the wilderness of northern 🇨🇦 so I am swimming on every weekend while there is still water to swim and float in. Happy water time to you. Ⓜary💦🏊‍♀

      Hi Mary, great to hear from you. I’ve been wondering if you still have water to swim in. I hope you enjoyed your extended break this year, I’m guessing you’re back at work now? Blue Mind will keep you going through the winter, give it at read 💦📘🤓😍

      I get in as often as I can but probably once or twice a week on average. Swimmy video coming up next week.
