The return of the school race, the return to work.
So now is the time to be kind to yourself.
Switch off and save with these tips.
KEEP CALM: The Calm and Headspace apps offer free trials.
Headspace is an ideal gateway to relaxation, while Calm offers a range of guided meditations to help you find peace.
TO MOVE: Gyms are desperate to lure us in after losing so much business to the pandemic.
Check out the social media of gyms near you to see which ones are offering free passes right now.
Take a 30-minute brisk lunch walk while listening to a podcast, or enjoy an audiobook with the free trial of Audible
