1. TAKE ON THE WARDROBE CHALLENGE: Only keep the clothes you love. It will make getting dressed each day easier and less stressful. Whenever you wear an item, turn its hanger around so you can tell it’s been worn. At the end of the year, sell any items you haven’t used.

2. MAX YOUR STORAGE SPACE: We’d all like a bigger home, but few of us can afford it. Instead, make the most of what you’ve got by incorporating extra storage. From clearing away the kids’ toys to keeping paperwork organised, a tidy house means a tidy mind and helps you feel more in control.

Try the Livarno Home Storage Ottoman from Lidl for just £29.99. It’s in store from Sunday. 3. GET A SUPPORTIVE FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE: Having close pals is one of the best ways to boost your mental health. Write a list of your best mates and form a friendship circle, where you get together regularly and maybe do little tasks to support each other.

You could hold a “swishing” session to swap old clothes and update your wardrobes; arrange babysitting nights — you look after a friend’s child, and vice versa, to give you both a break — or host a monthly “pot luck” supper, where you each bring a dish to a gathering.
