1) Start up a charity bag, even if you can only add a few things to it right now. Maybe if you start the ball rolling some other people in your household can chip in and start it too. With the weather on the change you could sort some of your seasonal clothes and and work out what you haven't worn over the last year. It might not be something you have worn but could be something someone else really needs right now. Taking time to declutter, as well as doing good for a charity, can give yourself a real boost.

2) If you've got into the habit of not doing much exercise, make today the day to make that change. There is lots of evidence from large studies that show how getting active has the power to change your mood, especially if it is regular. It doesn't have to be a triathlon - maybe a brisk walk to the shop, a run around the park, or taking the long route to and from school - just something that gets you out and about and your heart hate up

3) How well (or badly) you sleep has an effect on your health and wellbeing. So try, today, to set a time for when you go to bed this week and stick to it. Try to stay away from screens during the hour before bedtime and gradually lower the light level as you get towards bedtime. If possible check the heating is not too high in your bedroom as studies show a cooler bedroom makes for much better sleep conditions.
