You should definitely log on and give it a read if you can…
Taking a break from his day job of being a musician, TV star and generally being an all-round cool guy, Niall Breslin has started a blog on maintaining a fit body and a healthy mind.
The blog, titled My 1000 Hours, is “about exploring positive and proactive ways of improving your emotional fitness and helping you deal with whatever mental stresses you may go through”.
You won’t find any statistics or policies on the site, just information and personal experience on how you can approach mental health through a series of blog entries from the man himself.
There is a bit of a stigma around mental health in Ireland so it is great to see another person addressing the issue and even though the blog is only in the very early stages, as Bressie told us himself, you have to start somewhere.
We will be logging onto this site regularly from now on because some of the entries are really great reads and they give wonderful advice.
We especially like the article on the Forrest Gump technique, so if you have a spare couple of minutes or just need a break from things; visit the site, have a read and spread the word on mental and physical well-being.
