Hi @Shaz51
This is a fantastic idea! Love, love LOVE it.
What keeps me going? What a great question. Here are my top things that keep me well:
- yoga and climbing - doing things that I love while also being physical. Gives me a good endorphin kick too.
- Getting outdoors - there's something about being out in nature that rejigs the circuits.
- friends and family - a sense of belong and support, being around people I love makes me happy.
- good food - I'm a huge foodie, I love good food. But more importantly, I love healthy and nutritious food that's good for my body and mind.
Look forward to hearing about what others have to say!

Biggest thing that keeps me going are my 3 dogs - just being around them can make things that little bit easier to deal with. I honestly don't know how I would have coped without them.
