New Year Resolutions

I have been reading a number of articles today looking for one to post on new year resolutions, however most of them have been a bit poor or annoying. A number of them suggesting that this is a bad thing, that it is negative, setting yourself up to fail!!! I disagree with this and here’s why.

Some sources are saying why make a new year’s resolution, it’s just the start of another year, just another day, you can make these changes any day of the year, why put this pressure on yourself, by doing this and failing it will have a negative effect on your mental state!!! It’s right you can do this any time, any day of the year but the new year is an excellent time after the Christmas excesses, it’s a natural start point and if you do it right and for the right reasons you won’t fail!!!

Why is a resolution to be better or do better bad?! It’s obviously not, trying to better ourselves and improve our life choices has got to be a good thing, it’s just how you go about it and why you want to do it.

Assisting with mental health challenges

We get people starting martial arts for all sorts of reasons, general conditioning, fitness, weight loss, learn a new skill, socialisation but we also get people start for psychological reasons - self-confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, to cope with bullying; the martial arts are an excellent tool to assist these people.  Due to this sub set of people I have decided to post the below on further supporting these people as every little bit of assistance can help to enable them to cope and improve. 

The inventions of apps means we now have mental health tools right in our pockets.  Keeping track of your mood, finding ways to cope and monitoring your mental processes are all activities that might sound like a slog, but the majesty of modern technology means they can be fun too.

Here are 5 apps that can really help make a difference when it comes to your mental health:
