Warrington Borough Council shares tips for improving health and wellbeing in 2025
Warrington: The council is sharing some great advice on how to boost your health and wellbeing this year. They know that making big changes can feel overwhelming, especially at the start of the year.
A spokesperson mentioned that while it might seem like you need to change everything overnight, it’s really about taking small steps. Breaking old habits can be tough, but it’s definitely doable.
They suggest being kind to yourself and looking for support to help you reach your goals. It’s all about figuring out what motivates you and adding positive things to your life instead of just focusing on what to cut out.
Setting small, achievable goals is key. You can build on those little wins over time. The council has some fun ideas to get you started, like trying new experiences, meeting new people, or even volunteering.
Eating well is super important. A balanced diet can help you feel your best and keep your energy up. If you need help with food, Warrington has food banks and pantries that you can check out.
Getting active is another great way to boost your mood. Find activities you enjoy, whether it’s walking in the park or hitting the gym. The parks in Warrington are perfect for this!
