Creative pursuits (such as drawing, writing, photography etc.) may feel daunting at first, especially if has been a while since you have used your creative skills. The easiest way to get started is to start small, with low expectations and just see where your ideas take you. You can try small pencil drawings, photography using your smartphone or writing a short story about your day. You may notice reduced stress and improved mood the more you practice.

Learn a language, or new skill such as knitting or playing an instrument. The best way to achieve this is to set a very small, attainable goal (like one or two new words per day). These small achievements will add up over time. Some of the benefits of learning new things include creating new opportunities and increasing your sense of self achievement and confidence.

Cutting down on caffeine can improve your energy levels, your sleep quality and lower feelings of anxiety and panic. The best way to reduce your intake is gradually, this will reduce your chances of withdrawal side effects. This is especially important if, for example, you are drinking multiple cups of coffee a day. Start with switching one of your regular drinks to a non or low caffeine alternative such as herbal or fruit tea. You can also cut down by having an early ‘cut off’ such as not having any caffeine after 1pm.

Quitting or even cutting down the amount you smoke or v**e has many benefits for you health. If you are finding it difficult to do on your own, there are loads of resources available for support, including online NHS information and ni****ne replacement therapies or medication. If you smoke, you can also move to va**ng first before quitting completely as this may make quitting easier. In the short-term, va**ng is less harmful for your health than ci******es.

Now we couldn’t have a post about limiting harmful substances in January and not talk about Dry January. If you have not already heard of it, Dry January is a health challenge to not drink any alcohol for the whole month. There are so many benefits, such as improved sleep, immune system health and saving money just to name a few. For those considering it we would really recommend you give it a go, there is also lots of information on the alcohol change website - https://alcoholchange.org.uk/help-and-support/managing-your-drinking/dry-january
If you decide to participate we wish you the best of luck!

Our health theme for January is 'limit harmful substances.' Now we all know that alcohol and smoking are bad for us, but did you know that alcohol can actually negatively affect your spinal health? Our spine requires adequate hydration for the spinal cord to properly cushion the discs to prevent injury. But alcohol causes dehydration, thus putting extra strain on our spine. We will be posting this month about Dry January, and other ways you can reduce the amount of harmful substances you consume.
