Every day I scour the Internet in search of wisdom, habits, inspiration and practical solutions to help improve the mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing of our readers, curating the best bits together in this neat little package – and delivered direct to your inbox.

So in this issue I’ve gathered a selection of resources that I’ve been referring to and that you might find helpful too.

As ever, I hope you find something useful as you set yourself up for a brilliant 2020.

9 resolutions to strengthen your relationship next year

Resolutions and New Year goals needn’t be just solo pursuits.

No, if your intention is to make your life healthier, happier and fulfilling then it also makes a lot of sense to set new intentions either with or that involve your partner.

From eating healthier, to reading more, to date nights, to giving each other your full attention rather than multi-tasking with devices, this is a great list you might consider for 2020.

Not only will having your partner onboard ensure that you are pushing for the same things in your relationship, but sharing your goals openly with those close to you will also help with accountability and feeling supported in challenging moments.
