A health check reminder this Mental Health Month
In today's world, everyone is busy. So busy, in fact, that it can cause us to lose ourselves. We obsess over being better, faster, or stronger that we forget about our wellbeing.

We are designed to fight or flight, and then recover. The modern world doesn't appear to allow us that recovery time, and this creates a vicious circle. The more stressed we are, the less time we have to care for ourselves. The less time we have to care for ourselves, the more stressed we become. 14 Oct 2022 Read more
