What It Takes to Build a Healthier Tomorrow
A healthier tomorrow doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built – quietly, courageously, and often in the face of discomfort. Whether you’re striving to heal from personal struggles, improve your mental or physical wellbeing, or break free from patterns that no longer serve you, the foundation for lasting change starts with one thing: a conscious decision to begin. It might not be loud or dramatic. In fact, it’s often a quiet moment of clarity that says, “I need to change”. From that point forward, it’s about taking small, consistent steps that honour your future self. The Decision to Begin Again For many, building a healthier life starts with a single decision: to stop running, numbing, or pretending. It takes bravery to look at your current reality and admit that it isn’t where you want to be. But there is power in that truth. That’s the moment you stop surviving and start living with intention. This might mean cutting out toxic habits, distancing yourself from draining environments, or seeking the kind of professional support that empowers real, sustainable change. In a rehab facility, for example, individuals are met with expert guidance and holistic care, helping them rediscover clarity,…

Comedians ‘Thinking Drinkers’ to visit Exeter pubs on gruelling adventure to save British boozers
‘Thinking Drinkers’ Tom Sandham and Ben McFarland are visiting Exeter’s pubs on a gruelling 1,000-mile plus, two-week journey on a tandem bike to toast the great British pub and highlight the industry’s crisis. The pair are cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats and showcasing how wonderful and versatile pubs can be by ONLY eating, drinking, sleeping and stopping in British boozers, including Mill On The Exe and Thorveton Arms in Exeter. “If we don’t use pubs, we’ll lose them – so that’s what we’re doing, relying entirely on lovely ‘locals’ during our nationwide ride,” said Sandham. “No shops. No restaurants. No coffee chains or cafes. No petrol stations. Not even a Greggs.” McFarland added: “We’ve never ridden a tandem, it’s a frighteningly long way and rather than a gentle pootle around some pretty pubs, it’s going to be a brutal bike ride on behalf of the beleaguered British boozer – but it’s nothing compared to the daily struggles facing pubs up and down the country. “The costs for pubs to simply do business are far too high – no other business sector in the economy is taxed so heavily and unjustly and this has pushed…
