to Save the Community! High Street trade throughout the UK has taken a big hit from the pandemic, so now more than ever, it is tremendously important to shop local – and what better time to do it than the January Sales! We’re proud to already showcase 100’s of brilliant local businesses throughout our magazines and we’re here to encourage you to stroll through your town or village and shop local this January.
“Shopping locally helps the local economic stimulus – it’s a full circle!” There are so many benefits to keeping your purchases close to home, and with the New Year upon us, there is no better time to start. Some of the obvious benefits of keeping close are monetary based and its imperative we help keep businesses on their feet and boost job opportunities within
the community. However, shopping at your local doesn’t just help that particular shop, it helps a chain. Locally-owned businesses often source form other local businesses, so shopping locally helps the local economic stimulus – it’s a full circle! Staying local also has positive environmental impacts, as it reduces food and product miles, which in turn helps lower your carbon footprint. Customer service is another key benefit, as our businesses know the area and the people so well. Popping into your local store offers a friendly face and a more personal experience. By doing this, you’re doing your bit to help boost community spirit, community’s welfare and the future of Hampshire! Many of the surrounding businesses have online shops, websites and social media pages too, so you can still do your bit even if you can’t physically get to the shops.
“There are so many benefits to keeping your purchases close to home, and with the New Year upon us, there is no better time to start.”
Browsing your local businesses with a purchase here and there goes a long way, so get out there today and see what’s on offer! View our What’s on & Where at: www.thedirectorygroup.co.uk/whats-on

LEADING A LIFESTYLE Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important if there is an eagerness to have a long and hearty life. Last year was undoubtedly tough on us all, but as we move into a New Year we can look forward to positive change. We all have our New Year’s Resolutions; eating less chocolate, going on a run before work or even starting a new hobby. Writing a list and setting yourself a couple of goals to achieve throughout the year is a great way to get the ball rolling and gives you something to work towards. Last year we realised that self-love is so important, so we urge you to take this time to think about your physical and mental health to achieve a healthier and happier way of life.
Exercise regularly Exercise has so many benefits for the body and mind. We know that exercise has numerous physical benefits and is important to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Physiologically, getting your body moving releases all the happy hormones in your brain, giving your body more energy and putting you in good spirits, whilst also decreasing stress and anxiety levels. Whether you walk, run, skip or jump on a bicycle and cycle to work – breaking a sweat is the best medicine.
Make healthy swaps We have all heard about eating ‘one of your five-a-day’ which is continually promoted by health experts. Numerous people manage to eat a combination of five fruit or vegetables, maybe even more, but how many truly get close to 5 each day? Replacing unhealthy snacks with healthier alternatives can make a world of difference. Start by identifying fattening foods you eat – such as crisps – and replace the snack with a piece of fruit.
Your mindset A combination of thoughts creates your mindset. We all have negative thoughts from time to time, so it’s important to make an effort to do things that make you happy. Start the day by writing a thankful list, naming three things you are thankful for that day. Talking to friends, family, colleagues and your GP about how you are feeling is so important. As they say, a problem shared is a problem halved. We have included the contact details of charities which help with mental health in the back of the book. Overall, managing a healthy lifestyle does not have to be mundane and difficult. Making small changes can make a huge difference and set you up to have a great year ahead! Tell us all about how you live a healthy lifestyle by connecting with The Directory Group on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
