In our infinite search for the perfect life we rarely stop to appreciate what we already have, yet numerous studies have shown that those who count their blessings tend to be happier and suffer less from depression and mental health issues.
Stress has been dubbed the health epidemic of the 21st century by the World Health Organisation. Stress can have a significant impact on our mental health and those suffering with mental health issues are often more susceptible to an overactive stress response and are likely to have lower resilience to be able to deal with stress.

Maintaining optimal mental fitness is the cornerstone to our overall wellbeing and enables us to gain more enjoyment out of life.
