Remember: progress looks different for everyone, and even small steps count. 😇

 

Relax the mind with Waterstones 📚

A good January read is the perfect excuse to slow the pace and enjoy some quiet moments to yourself. Reading can be a wonderful form of self-care, helping you unwind, escape and refocus.🧠 Pop into Waterstones to discover inspiring non-fiction, comforting fiction, journals or goal-setting reads to support your year ahead. Whether you’re looking to be motivated, entertained or simply to switch off for a while, there’s a book waiting to be discovered. Taking just a few minutes a day to read can help create calm in even the busiest schedules. 🪷😌

Here at Riverside Shopping Centre, Starbucks offers plenty of welcoming spots to sit back and enjoy a coffee or bite to eat, perfect for those much-needed catch-ups after the busy festive period! 💚 Whether it’s a quick coffee break or a longer chat, those shared moments often become the highlight of the week. Sometimes, the best self-care starts with good company. ✨
