Instead of thinking about what you want to change, focus on where you want to get to. You’ll find that thinking in this way can have a snowball effect and make a huge difference in your life.

A lie in at the weekend is a treat but be careful. Shifting sleep times by a few hours has the same effect as crossing a time zone, making us sleepy in the day and unable to sleep at night. Instead, use time for a walk or a cuppa - and appreciate you don't have to rush!

Everyone has the power to change. Few of us believe we can. LiveWell’s coaches are specially trained to support people through change. Our programmes are designed to help people improve their lives through health and wellbeing 👉 orlo.uk/1p2gW
