The Scottish town striving to be country's 'wellbeing capital' starting this Blue Monday
16.01.2023 - 19:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A town in the Scottish Borders is determined to help its residents feel their best this January by launching a new feel-good initiative.
Around this time of year, there are a lot of things happening that can cause low moods and feelings of sadness. Today (January 16) is also known as Blue Monday - supposedly the "most depressing" day of the year.
And although there's no scientific proof to back this up, it's based on real-life emotions often felt at this point in the year. To help people feel happier at this gloomy time, Visit Kelso has launched a scheme to become Scotland's "wellbeing capital" and encourage people to look after their mental health all year round.
Launching today on Blue Monday, the new initiative follows the six doctors of wellbeing - fresh air, exercise, water, rest, diet and sunshine - and aims to inspire residents and visitors to take a bit of time for themselves each day.
The idea behind the natural doctors is to show people how easily these small steps can be implemented into your routine every day to look after your physical and mental wellbeing.
Visit Kelso members who work in the local community - also known as Wellbeing Warriors - will also seek to take on these small steps everyday within their own organisations.
It could be something as simple as drinking a calming herbal tea while you take a break from work, or carrying out a short breathing exercise to keep yourself grounded during a stressful time.
No matter which one of the six doctors you wish to include in your daily routine, Kelso's Wellbeing Warriors will be there to point you in the direction of self-care.
Lesley Rosher, owner of The Crafty Creative, has been seeing the benefits of activities such as crafting for years.
