Things for Summer
Rediscover your wardrobe. Thinking about hitting the shops for a new outfit this season? Carve out some time to go through your wardrobe first, you’ll save yourself some money and might be surprised at the hidden gems you discover, all of which will help the planet, too. Put pen to paper. The end of the year is often a time of reflection but it's a great idea to also set aside some time for this periodically over the year. Write about the first half of 2021, did you meet your goals? If not, what can you do to recalibrate to have a productive end to the year?

Immerse yourself in a new book this summer and try to create a routine by setting aside ten minutes at lunchtime or by starting a book club! Reach new heights. In International Therapist Summer 2020, we looked at the benefits of forest bathing (fht.org.uk/it-forest-bathing).This summer, connect with the forest from above by taking part in a Go Ape! treetop adventure.

Invigorate your senses. Anosmia, the loss of sense of smell, can be triggered by viruses, including coronavirus. If you have experienced anosmia, why not try at-home smell training? Each day give yourself a scent to sniff, write down the notes you pick up, and whether it begins to smell stronger each time. Find out more about smell training at
