Good mental health
Good Mental Health is as important as physical health. Mental Health doesn’t stay the same throughout your life and everyone is different. There are lots of ways we can look after our mental health and ensure we are thriving. Good Mental Health is not just the absence of a mental health problem, but having the ability to handle any challenges we face and be able to think, feel and act in a way that allows us to enjoy life.

These are the simple ways which can improve your mental health

Read More'Man Talk' Podcast Aims to Get Men Talking
Jamie Day is a writer and blogger who can often be found sharing his experiences of fatherhood under the moniker A Day In The Life Dad. Now he’s launched a new podcast, Man Talk, in support of CALM.
The pod touches on themes around men’s mental health and has featured guests such as Matt Read and Great British Bake Off star, Mat Riley. Here’s Jamie to tell us a bit more about Man Talk…
“Us men will be the first to moan about a bad back or the dreaded man flu, so why don’t we speak up about our mental health? Ask us about what we thought about the football and you’ll get an honest answer, but ask us how we feel, and if we’re not quite right, you’re probably going to hear a subdued, ‘I’m fine’.
From my own experiences with mental health, as well as people I know, those I follow online and see in traditional media, there are a hell of a lot of men who are simply not fine. But that’s okay, as the well-known saying goes, ‘it’s okay not to be okay’. What’s not okay, is when men don’t speak about it.
That’s why I’ve launched Man Talk, a podcast that’s aiming to normalise a conversation that has been constrained by stigmas, taboos and narrow-minded clichés such as “man up” for way too long."

Relax Your Workspace
Does your workspace feel inviting or does it make you want to cringe? Remember, where we work, we live as well. Our desire to work should come out of a sense of passion and drive. But an unorganized or boring work environment will dramatically stunt our productivity.
It’s not just about how our workspace looks though, it’s how it feels that creates the feeling of a relaxing space. Even more, it’s how we work.
This article looks at 10 ways you can create a more relaxing workspace.
