How to keep your heart healthy while pursuing your goals
21st February | 11:30 - 13:00 GMT
Virtual Event on Zoom, Hosted by Calmer
Take a moment to reflect - are you taking care of your wellness and your heart?
As a busy professional, life can present a multitude of challenges as you manage day to day responsibilities, on top of navigating your personal commitments. With so much to occupy your day, it can be hard to find time for yourself and your wellbeing. It is essential that you care for your wellness and heart health as much as you are taking care of your business and career, and there’s evidence to highlight why.
To mark National Heart Month, the Calmer team will be raising awareness of this important topic in two ways - through our online Monthly Mindfulness Event, and a sponsored walk to raise funds for the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Charity (RBHHC).
How to manage the January Blues

The start of a New Year signals a time for change, reflection and a sense of ‘starting afresh’. While this can bring a sense of inspiration and motivation, you may also feel pressure from the media, society or others in your life to come up with a range of goal-setting intentions and embark on a healthy lifestyle. However, it isn’t necessary to treat the New Year as a time for huge change and completely overhaul your life.
Our next Calmer Mindfulness event will be focused on how to create meaningful goals at any time of year, navigate challenging emotions, and build resilience.
