The start of a New Year signals a time for change, resolutions and a sense of ‘starting afresh’. With this comes pressure from media, society and others to embark on a healthier lifestyle. Often the messaging is directed towards changing your diet or fitness routine, but similar pressures can also be put on our career, social life and more. However, you don’t have to treat the New Year as a time for huge change and completely overhaul of your life.
World Mental Health Day is here, and with it, an opportunity to raise the profile of mental health care around the world.
Happening on 10th October each year, the day encourages all of us to take a moment to check in with our own mental health, and the ways we can support the mental health of the people around us too. This year, the theme has been set by The World Federation For Mental Health as “It is time to prioritize mental health in the workplace.”
We are excited to contribute to raising awareness of this theme. As an organisation working hard to support the mental health of professionals and business teams to prioritise mental wellness and prevent burnout, our aim is to embed positive mental health practices in a way that’s practical and beneficial for all. Tania Diggory, Founder & Director of Calmer, believes “your mind is your business’ greatest asset”. It’s time for us to celebrate this' years’ World Mental Health Day, and this article provides you with a list of ways you can get involved too.

Many factors go into your overall wellbeing both in and outside of work, from your diet and level of physical activity to more intangible elements, like your personal relationships and feelings of fulfilment with your work and career. However, there is one element that overarches all of these factors, and that’s sleep. Without plenty of quality rest, everything from your physical health to your relationships to your productivity and creativity suffers.
Discover the importance of sleep, and how to improve it, in this guide created by Isaiah Atkins of The Sleep Advisor.
