January – the month of new beginnings as we head into 2022. A time for putting our New Years' resolutions into action, whether it's buying your first car, getting that promotion at work or just to have a good year; January is where it all starts.

With the aim to end the stigma around mental health, there are charities like the Samaritans who are set up to listen to people who need someone to talk to.

But the months following Christmas aren't always easy; pushing aside the excitement of the New Year, the worrying itch for the next payday begins to sit at the forefront of people's minds. The dark dreariness of British winter weather brings down the once merry moods and sometimes it's easy to brush off mental health – when really, it's one of the essential components of keeping healthy, yet people are still afraid to talk about it.

One in six people in the UK report that they have suffered from mental health issues – this does not include the people who choose not to speak about these issues, in which 40% of men will never discuss their mental health. While women are typically more open when talking about their mental health; they are twice as likely to go through a depressive episode. Especially with the days being shorter, the lack of daylight means people are far more susceptible to falling into the seasonal depression.

The Samaritan's mission is to make sure there is someone there for everyone; they encourage and promote connecting with people to talk about how they feel. They can be contacted by phone, email, letter, or even visited at one of their local branches – where a trained volunteer will be there to listen.

It's the small talk that helps save lives – sometimes just talking to a friend or someone who will listen can make a huge difference, and can evoke change and help someone's mental health improve for the better.

If you or someone you know is feeling low you can always call 116 123; alternatively you can text SHOUT to 85258 if you don't want to call. It's the small talk that helps save lives!

Healthy Lifestyle 2022 It’s time to take control: be healthy and transform your life!

Maintaining a healthy body may not be that easy; however, it is not so difficult either, especially considering the benefits that it will bring you. A fit and healthy person can live their life to the max, without any physical or mental issues, with being healthy not only being related to the physical well-being of a person, but it also involves the mental stability and the internal peace of a person.

Being fit and healthy in simple terms means taking good care of yourself. Besides, a healthy mind resides only in a healthy body, meaning being happy is directly related to boosting your mental strength and health so that happiness can be considered as one of many results of a healthy and active lifestyle. However, a happy mind is not the only benefit of keeping healthy and active.

Staying active will improve both your physical

appearance, and your ability to perform tasks that you may now struggle with, leading you into a stress-free lifestyle and allowing you to maintain happy moods and high energy levels with no stress at all. Staying fit requires consistency, but should always be prioritised by each individual due to the benefits largely outweighing the non-existent drawbacks.

Generally, a proper diet consists of eating a variety of different foods, which include; eating green and fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, vitamins and minerals essential for a human’s lifestyle. Consumption of sugary and fatty foods, in addition to alcohol intake, is not forbidden, however, should be limited.

The correct amount of sleep, between 7-9 hours, is essential for you to function at your best. Water is also a must! Your body is made of 60% water, so the consumption of water is crucial for vital bodily functions such as digestion, circulation, and maintaining bodily temperature.

Finally, find some exercise you enjoy, you are much more likely to stick to it if you do! It does not have to be vigorous, instead keep it consistent, and choose to exercise with friends or groups where possible to keep yourself encouraged and motivated.

An enormous “Thank you” from the Final Straw Foundation!

What brings together a giant fish, decorated drains, 2.5 tonnes of rubbish and inspiring over 3,000 school-age children? These are all key parts of projects run by the Final Straw Foundation to help highlight the impact of plastic pollution on our environment, reduce waste and engage local communities in the fight to look after our precious natural world.

It’s been a mixed year for the charity, which is based in Emsworth, Hampshire. The ongoing impact of Covid-19 meant that large group beach cleans were restricted for the first half of the year. However, since lockdown lifted in June, the charity has been able to run beach cleans again from Worthing to Southampton, picking up over 2.5 tonnes of rubbish from local beaches with the help of nearly 500 volunteers.

The charity’s big metal fish, Nellie, was joined by two new big fish, known as Tiddler and Wanda (based in Portsmouth and Bournemouth)!

The fish are used as recycling bins for plastic bottles and drinks cans, with an aim to highlight the sheer volume of disposable drinks packaging we use. Many of these items would otherwise have ended up in general waste streams rather than being recycled.

“Since lockdown lifted in June, we have picked up over 2.5 tonnes of rubbish from local beaches.”

Two new educational outreach officers have visited nearly 30 local schools since starting in September, reaching over 3,000 school children through workshops and talks. These activities encourage young people to be considerate of our local and wider environment and hope to inspire the next generation to be brilliant caretakers of our beautiful coasts and wildlife.

“We can’t wait to continue our work in 2022, both expanding existing activities and starting new projects to engage local communities and working together to protect our harbours, countryside and wildlife,” enthuses CEO Bianca Carr. “Thank you to everyone who has supported us in 2021!”

You can find out more about all the projects run by the charity here: https://finalstrawfoundation.org/

Final Straw Foundation CIO is a registered UK charity that is working with businesses, communities and schools to raise awareness of plastic pollution in our oceans and land environment. Charity number 1191500.

Good Sport Jeff Stelling is powder keg of football knowledge in an era where big money dominates the face of the sport. His grounded approach means Soccer Saturday afternoons on Sky Sports just wouldn’t be the same without him; and yet that’s something we’ll have to get used to at the end of this season after the 66-yearold announced his three-decadelong relationship with the broadcaster was coming to an end.

“My first big break came not long after receiving a set of GCSE results which, by my own admission, were indifferent, to say the least. I was offered a journalist post at the

Hartlepool Mail. Well, as a dedicated ‘Pools’ supporter, there was only one choice!

“There was and still is a great atmosphere in regional press and, of course, I was able to develop my writing style and land qualifications.

been a huge part of my life, and my time at Sky Sports. I’ve worked with great people and it’s lots of fun.

“The football we cover is about giving all levels the coverage they deserve. There is so much about our football pyramid that remains utterly unique, and British football is truly the best in the world.

“It will be a shame to go, but we all need to move on eventually.”

You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

Put an end to mindless eating How many times do you find yourself eating while doing other things?

Whether it’s eating at your desk, in front of the television or even as you travel to and from work, eating while you are preoccupied is bad for digestion and stops your body from registering you are full. Allow yourself to focus your full attention on each meal/snack so your body can register you are full, which will stop over-indulgence and eating out of boredom.

Have a ‘move-more’ mindset

We all know exercise in general is good for us, with expert s recommending 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobi c activity.

It’s not all about jumping on the treadmill, but more about making exercise a daily habit. If you can, take the stairs rather than the lift, walk over to your colleague instead of emailing them, or get off the bus/train a stop earlier and power walk home.
