Quiz: Do you stop enough to think - am I feeling okay today?

ARE YOU CHRISTMAS-READY?

It’s a loaded question for many of us – and not just because we don’t have all the presents bought, or the turkey ordered.

The festive period can bring with it stresses and pressures, and feelings that don’t quite match the non-stop party we see on the TV specials.

In other words, it’s a really good time to make sure you are taking care of your head.

We make all sorts of resolutions about looking after our physical state – but do we ever take some time out to check our mental fitness?
