After last week being pretty huge for a small change we get a nice easy one this week!
Take a daily multivitamin. That's it 
Some of you probably already do so feel free to add your own challenge instead this week. I don't and this is a quick and easy fix for me though I will need to buy some tomorrow.
Last week if you missed it: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health/2555507-Week-5-of-52-small-changes-a-focus-on-our-mental-health?pg=1&order=
And a reminder of previous weeks: drinking more water, aiming for better sleep, getting activity into each day, keeping a food diary and attempting to be more optimistic.

Lots of lovely positive posts, well done.
Special 
for OddSocks for getting us here and her gentle way of keeping us here.
I am being very affirmative about food and sleep which I'm fabulous at.
I will walk quite along way tomorrow to do what I should have done today, and will buy multi vit. en route.
Will probably absorb enough rain to negate rubbishness at water consumption.
I was very positive today that I should procrastinate the boring stuff till tomorrow.
I suspect that use of procrastinate is wrong, but I like it, so it stands.
Bewitched I'm sure I heard somewhere that procrastinating is thinking through and rehearsing what you need to do, in order to do it better 
.
A bit early for , so I'll drink to you with 
as dd2 had a grotty night. Being positive, I did manage 6 1/2hrs despite her being awake for hours.
Water and activity good, I find lots of walking/other activity makes me very thirsty so one helps the other.
We ate out a lot over the weekend, and I was still really hungry yesterday, but tried really hard to choose healthy options.
I did my Headspace but have been a bit crap with the gratitude diary, will try to catch up later today.
Thanks Oddsocks totally agree with PP you are doing a great job keeping everyone motivated. Even me although I need to work on wk5, I can get caught up in a spiral of negative thinking.
For week 5 I have some info on mindfulness and a thing called an ACE log (appreciation, effort and closeness rating log) to help you focus and appreciate things that you do (no matter how small). Happy to post the link or send the attachment of anyone is interested.
I'd like that shirking :)
Sleep ok once I got over which was the early hours of the morning. Dd was crying on and off until 1am so didn't see much point in getting down in until she was settled. Totally nothing to do with watching the last episodes of Sons 
Your dd no better today quirky? I did see the sport relief steps advertised somewhere online, are you doing it yourself? I don't have a fitbit as my garmin does me for logging exercise only.
It is tricky trying to see ourselves as other see us ICJ, we are very all too often our worst critic and much, much harder on ourselves than anyone else would ever be. Good luck with your task :)
Activity nothing special but had a few appointments yesterday and a pile of washing to gte down so wasn't sitting on my laurels all day. Today I'm either going to make the gym or head for a run, wind dependent what it's like at lunch. Water has been lacking but will pick up if I exercise today and I've a glass down me with my multi vitamin this morning.
Food 
always my downfall. We had fish and chips last night. Good excuse it was what dd asked for and considering she wouldn't eat anything other than fromage frais yesterday, I was willing to give it a go even if it was only a few mouthfuls. Will be healthier today.
ICJ
That link would be great shirking please do post it!
Mind if I jump back onto the bandwagon? I took a break from MN until the end of January as it was getting a bit silly how much I was just browsing 
All I did was start browsing elsewhere but at least the other endeavours were a little more creative
I am taking a multi-vit and a VitD tablet everyday, so this week I'm playing catch-up and 'revising' previous weeks that I've either lapsed in or just need to spend more time doing.
So this week I'm being stricter with going to bed and letting myself stay in bed until 7am instead of 6:30am. I could do with reminding myself to move more through the day I seem to have lost my fitbit which is probably a good thing and I also need to do the food journalling again as I haven't managed a solid week of it, the most I've done is 4 days 
Has anybody else struggled with that? I just can't seem to keep track of everything I consume!

Quite important to remember the title of the thread I think.
52 small changes.
It doesn't matter how small they are, that's a whole year!
Which is, of course a fabulous idea.
But people will dip in and out, be inspired some weeks and other weeks day to day stuff will take over.
I like that this thread is here for us to be grounded when we want to think about this stuff.
It'll still be here in May, and September and December!
Yup, I did all the stupid stuff that I put off yesterday.
It was boring but needed doing, and now I'm chuffed it's done.
If it wasn't for this thread I might would have put it off till next week
Didn't do the walking but was very chuffed to get prime parking space, and paid for it by phone for the first time.
Well said Bewitched
(I've never paid for parking by phone either!)
It's lovely to see people coming and going! And thank you to our resident lifter-upper beyond for reminding us that doing better is doing well!
Water is going much better, and have had nearly 8 hours sleep the past two nights. Made the 10,000 steps yesterday. Not so good at remembering supplements - I think I have to find a point in the routine that I do it every day.
