One in four of us this year will experience a diagnosable mental illness. But learning to look after your mental well-being is about so much more than avoiding anxiety and depression. Our minds control so much; how we see our lives, how well we can focus and concentrate, our energy levels, how we see the future, even our levels of happiness and well-being. Running your own business and being an employee can both be stressful experiences, so with the support of York Mind we would like to invite you to complete our 7 Day well-being challenge. The course will teach you 10 scientifically proven ways to enhance mental health which can easily be incorporated into your everyday life. All you have to do is promise to give them a try for 7 days and then report back to us. We are confident you will feel the difference. As with our physical health, looking after ourselves mentally can be hugely empowering so sign up today and learn how to:
