September is coming to an end, so let's celebrate the small wins.

Maybe you:
- Got outside.
- Took more breaks.
- Had a screen-free afternoon.
- Asked for help.
- Did a little more movement.
- Made time for yourself.
- Connected with someone.

Or maybe your achievement was simply getting through a difficult week.

It all counts.

Self-care isn't something we only need in September.

Take the things that helped you this month and carry them forward.

What is one thing you want to keep doing for yourself?

Fact Friday: Your brain deserves a quiet moment.

Meditation doesn't have to mean sitting perfectly still for half an hour.

It could simply mean taking a few quiet minutes to breathe and slow things down.

Try sitting somewhere comfortable.
Take a slow breath in.
And a slow breath out.
That's it.

Sometimes a few quiet minutes can be enough.

Self-care isn't always candles and bubble baths.Sometimes self-care is:- Cancelling plans.- Having a nap.- Turning off t...

Self-care isn't always candles and bubble baths.

Sometimes self-care is:
- Cancelling plans.
- Having a nap.
- Turning off the phone.
- Having something simple for dinner.
- Saying no.
- Asking someone else to help.

There is no prize for pushing yourself until you're completely exhausted.

Looking after yourself is not selfish. It's part of recovery and wellbeing.

What is something you've learned about self-care since your brain injury?

Have you had a drink today?

It sounds simple, but when you're busy, tired or dealing with memory difficulties, remembering to drink enough can be easy to overlook.

Try keeping a water bottle somewhere you can see it.

Have a drink with meals.
Or set yourself a reminder.

Small habits can help.

Your brain needs looking after too.

Ake, Ake, Ake — A Forever Language

This week we've learned:

- Roro — Brain
- Wharanga roro — Brain injury
- Whānau — Family
- Mahara — Memory
- Kōrero — Talk / communicate

Five words, five days — and hopefully five little steps towards making te reo Māori part of everyday life.

The 2026 Te Wiki theme reminds us that every town, street, workplace, marae and community has a role in keeping te reo Māori visible and flourishing.

He mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.

Thank you to everyone in our Brain Injury Wellington community for joining us.
