Upcoming Wellbeing Wednesdays
The power of decluttering
Time 11:00 - 11:45
Struggling with clutter like finding your clothes, keys, or opening the garage? You're not alone. Many people don't realise the connection between clutter and mental health. While clutter can boost creativity, it can also cause stress and overwhelm if it becomes excessive or hinders daily functioning. This session explores clutter's effects on mental health, including hoarding, and offers practical strategies to manage clutter and get organised. Join us to declutter your life and improve your mental health.
Achieving fitness goals
Time 11:00 - 11:45
Every year, millions of Brits resolve to move more, get fitter, and become more physically active. But how many actually follow through on these goals? If you've made similar commitments in the past and found it difficult to stick with them, you're not alone. The key often lies in setting clear movement goals and having a solid plan to navigate the challenges that arise. This year, set yourself up for success!
Understanding food intolerance
Time 11:00 - 11:45
This session will give you an overview of food intolerance, highlighting its causes, symptoms, and differences from food allergies. You will learn about common intolerances like lactose and gluten, how they affect digestion, and ways to identify and manage them. The session will explain how to diagnose food intolerances, like using elimination diets, and offer simple tips for managing symptoms with diet changes. By the end, you will feel empowered to make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing.
