20 Mentally Healthy Tips to Practice in 2020
With 2020 set to be a year of significant transition and change for everyone, we are sharing advice on what you can do to prevent stress and manage change.
Each new year presents a new view on life, perspectives and goals for the year ahead. It allows us to realign and reclaim the positive. During this time it's important to remember to be kind to oneself, set realistic goals and recognise our successes.
When it comes to goal setting this year, why not try committing yourself to setting aside some time each day to “shutting down” and doing something for yourself that helps you rest and recharge your mental and emotional batteries.
