Keeping well this Christmas
Whilst Christmas can be a busy and stressful time of year, we should take a moment to think about the small things we can do to help keep the festive season as stress-free as possible, after all, ‘tis the season to be jolly.
The Bank Workers Charity (BWC) calendar is packed with daily actions to help us prioritise our wellbeing by staying connected with loved ones, taking the time out to relax and practice self-care, manage feelings of stress and anxiety, and much more.
So follow their healthy little helpers this Christmas to make the most of the festive season.
