1. Mindfulness can help lift your mood.

Try these three simple tips to get into a more positive frame of mind:

• 1. When you feel stressed, take time to stop, breathe deeply and be mindful of what's around you. What can you hear or see or smell?
• 2. Listen out for birds singing, listen to a lovely piece of music, smell a flower or the fresh air or a piece of ripe fruit.
• 3. Just close your eyes for a few minutes and think of something beautiful in nature or of someone you love, or a friend or pet who makes you smile.
