Outside the home, you could reduce your energy consumption by car sharing, just one other person in the car cuts your carbon emissions and costs by 50% as you'll be sharing the load. You can find people to share with on the Liftshare network, visit the link below or download the Mobilityways app to get going 🚕

Good question. 🙋

Today marks World Mental Health Day, a reminder to protect your peace, take time to release stress and worries from your mind and give yourself a break.

Simple ways to release tension can be to have a glass of cold water, go for a short 10-minute walk to clear your head, take a break from screens and 'doomscrolling', spend 10 minutes stretching your body and taking deep, controlled breaths to calm your mind.

It's easy to get overwhelmed when all the world's news and negativity is so readily available to us, so it's important to take a step back every now and then. Set boundaries for yourself, such as the classic 'no phones at the dinner table' rule and see if it helps you to reset your mind.

A useful guide to managing feelings of stress and anxiety: 🧠
If it won't matter in 5 hours, don't worry about it for more than 5 minutes.
If it won't matter in 5 years, don't waste more than 5 hours on it.

Visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk for useful resources, advice and activities you can get involved with to boost your mental health and support others. We're all in this world together, after all.

The service provides vulnerable people with transport for hospital appointments, social activities and essential shopping.
