Remember this: Progress is progress, every single step counts. Don't discredit your efforts because they feel small. If you made a single positive choice today, you won.

A strong mid-purple background features the Dorset Mind logo in white at the centre bottom and the words, also in white 'A small step isn't just movement, it's progress.' The word 'progress' is picked out in turquoise for emphasis.

On a white baground, written in blue and res quotation marks are the words : " Walking a marathon for Dorset Mind, was both physically demanding and emotionally uplifting. Each mile tested my endurance, in particular the last few miles where it rained heavily, but the thought of supporting a meaningful cause kept me going. The team spirit among fellow walkers, which includes dancing when we were getting tired to keep our spirits up, made the journey unforgettable. Blisters and aching muscles faded in comparison to the pride of crossing the finish line. Knowing that every step helped raise funds and awareness gave the experience a deeper purpose. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a powerful reminder of resilience and the impact we can make when we come together. Clare Cooper - Trethowans Dorset Mind's Big Walk 2024"

It's a beautiful thing to put yourself first. 💙 Taking care of your mental well-being isn't selfish—it's essential. This is your reminder that it's okay to choose you.

In a world obsessed with metrics, remember this: success is not measured by a number.
Your growth, and how you feel within yourself, is what matters.
