The importance of eating properly, detaching from the screens, sleeping well, exercising, and staying in touch with people is significant&#8230; that last one maybe especially so! And as we start moving into the long, dark period of the year it&#8217;s worth reminding ourselves: it&#8217;s OK to feel unwell!
