“Happiness is a practice, not a destination. We often treat happiness as something to pursue, a reward we’ll reach once life is finally in order. But what if happiness is not an outcome, but a practice - the foundation that shapes how we meet each moment?”

New Year’s resolutions, in my humble opinion, they set you up to fail .

This year, I’m choosing intentions over New Year’s resolutions ✨

Resolutions often feel rigid and all-or-nothing. Miss a day, and it feels like you’ve failed.
Intentions, on the other hand, are about direction, not perfection.

An intention is a gentle commitment to how you want to show up — not a strict rule you have to live up to.
It leaves room for rest, growth, and real life.

Instead of “I must exercise every day,”
try “I intend to move my body in ways that feel good.”
Instead of “I will eat more healthily, give up chocolate (heaven forbid!!) drink less … “
try “I intend to treat myself with more kindness.”

No pressure. No guilt. Just presence and purpose.
Here’s to a year led by intention

☀️ As we approach the shortest day of the year you may wish to consider if low Vitamin D is affecting your health or is holding back your recovery? ☀️

Many people in the UK are low in Vitamin D — especially during the winter months — and it can affect your muscles, bones, energy levels and immune system.

If you’ve been struggling with:
• Ongoing aches and pains
• Muscle weakness
• Slow recovery from injury
• Low energy or frequent colds

… Vitamin D could be part of the picture.

We’ve written a short, easy-to-read blog explaining:
✔️ Why Vitamin D matters for movement and recovery
✔️ Who’s most at risk of deficiency
✔️ How much you may need — and whether supplements help

👉 Read the full blog here: https://www.jilldrewphysio.com/2022/12/could-low-vitamin-d-be-holding-back-your-recovery

As always, if you’re unsure what’s right for you, speak to your GP, Pharmacist or ask us in clinic — we’re happy to help.
