Today is World Mental Health Day 🌍 — a reminder of how important it is to nurture our mental well-being. It’s about understanding why you think, feel, and react the way you do — and discovering how you can make positive changes.

🧠 Understand what’s really going on in your mind.
🕵️‍♀️ Notice the clues that show what’s holding you back.
🌳 Grow by learning how to move forward with confidence.

A solution-focused approach helps you explore your life in a more positive way — without dwelling on the past. Instead of revisiting old wounds, you can draw a line under them and move on, building stronger self-esteem, overcoming grief, and developing genuine confidence in yourself.

Studies at Oxford University have found that deep sleep acts like a dishwasher for our brains.

🧠 The Neurotransmitter norepinephrine triggers blood vessels to contract creating slow pulsations which help clear away debris formed during neural network pruning.

😴Recent research has found that some sleeping tablets hinder this process. So if you're currently taking sleep medication please check which type with your GP.
