Christmas is a time for children and family, but we must remember to take time out for ourselves. Colin's here with a festive message to remind you all to take good care of yourselves over the festive period, and why it's okay to give yourselves a treat after a most trying year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Colin's own gift to himself this year is a far healthier outlook, having lost over 4 stone. The results have seen him develop hitherto untapped levels of energy and optimism.
• It is okay to give yourself some care, both mentally and physically, if you need it. Treat yourself to some self-care, and make sure you're fit and ready for the challenges of 2021.
