I think that's the key thing for me. Absolutely. Thank you very much. That's very, very resonant. And on that note of positive mindset, what support do you think helps people stay on track with their health goals or with their health in the spring. Could it be family, community, reminders, planning, mindset, you have just alluded to? Yeah, I think having that peer support is very important as well. So I found that like some time ago, when I was going to the gym with a friend, I was actually making sure I did it because we would constantly, you know, remind each other about it. We had that support from each other, we were setting goals together, comparing notes, etc. So I think peer support is important. Also having, yeah, you have to be positive, because if once you get into the negative frame of mind, you're not going to do it. So you have to think, okay, this is going to benefit me somehow. And this is why I want to do it. So having those goals and making sure that you achieve the goals, yeah. Excellent. And how do you feel the health-shared Bracknell Forest community that we are establishing, how do you think this community could help you or others build positive momentum during the spring season? I feel like nowadays, we all spend so much of time online, be it social media or YouTube and things like that. So we always with our phones with our laptops and things like that. So we could spend that time which we spend like just scrolling through Instagram or Facebook on something constructive. Like if you have a page where we can learn from others, I think that be something good for people and for myself. So I feel like it'd be good to hear from others in my community, in my locality about what they are doing differently for their health, what I can learn from them, what I can learn from the professionals. I think it would be motivating to me to be part of that community to be able to share but also to just get back information and what's how what's the latest happening and things like that evidence-based research telling us so i don't have to spend loads of time reading but i can get it from other people from the professionals and also share and ask questions or hear what other people are doing and stuff like that so yeah i think it'll be very beneficial and motivating absolutely thank you very much and And as you look ahead over the coming months in the spring, what would a healthy spring look like for you personally? For me, a healthy spring would be one where I'm conscious about what I'm eating. So making sure that I eat healthily, or not just leave it to the last minute or eat something that's unhealthy or go out too much. So basically trying to cook my own meals at home, order less takeaways, less going out and stuff like that, but also making sure that I incorporate at least 30 minutes to an hour of activity, physical activity in the day. So be it a walk or gym or swim, trying to incorporate it into a busy day when I'm working from home or in the office. So if I'm in the office, it could be going for a walk during lunch, or if I'm at home, it could be like going to the leisure center for a swim or to the gym.
