Staying mentally well
The importance of resilience shouldn't be understated, especially as we make our way through these strange times. Lockdown, and slowly coming out of it, will have a significant impact on our lives. And going through so much change will cause heightened stress levels, even anxiety around difficult situations. That's why we created our Mind hub, a selection of articles to help boost your mental health. We want to promote positive mental wellbeing and provide ways in which you can adapt and thrive.
To do this, we've partnered with authorities in the field, including award-winning author Liggy Webb and mindfulness experts HeadUp Labs, the people behind the successful HeadUp health and fitness app. We've also worked with Olympic Performance Psychologist Charlie Unwin to create The Thrive Project, a step-by-step guide to help you unlock your mind's potential.
