Here are some simple ways you can take care of your mind and body:

• Unplug, turn your phone and any other devices off for an hour. Freeing yourself from the constant bings of social media.

• Pick up a book and loose yourself in the words.
• Enjoy a soak in the bath, be it full of bubbles or with a bath bomb.
• Paint your nails.
• Put on a facemark and enjoy your favourite program or film.
