Whether you’re driving a car or a boat we always need to be aware of our surroundings. The same applies for our health, there are lots of temptations around us that may lead us to make unhealthy choices. Once you can identify these, you can avoid them and progress on your health journey.

It’s so easy to fall into a downward spiral of negativity which can often be hard to break. This week I challenge you to make a note of one positive thing that you’ve achieved or have done.

Of course prevention is the best cure, so don’t forget the sun block for days when the UV index is 3 or higher.
