However, the rigors of continually helping others can also impact on your own health and wellbeing, which is why your surroundings and where you practice are so important.

According to a study by Exeter University, living near the sea is good for a person’s mental health and wellbeing.  Therefore, moving to the seaside could be the key to a happier, healthier life for you and your family.

If you love the idea of relaxing by the beach, exploring scenic surroundings every week, and waking up to beautiful views each morning, Cornwall is the place for you.

Living and working in Cornwall means you are never far from the 400+ miles of dramatic coastline hosting winding pathways, hidden coves, and iconic beaches.

In fact, no inland area is more than 20 miles from the sea.

Generally, life in Cornwall is slower. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still the work commute and the demands of life, but in Cornwall people go at their own pace.

The slower pace allows you to consume the cleaner air, appreciate nature and the picturesque scenery, all while re-energising and focussing on self-care.

Those who move to Cornwall from the larger cities, like London, Manchester or Birmingham notice the difference.

If you’ve got a family, as an antidote to children cooped up indoors and glued to a computer screen, Cornwall may seem like the Holy Grail, offering the prospect of real family living with plenty of healthy outdoor activities for everyone.

And with low crime rates and good schools, and most places having a community feel so often absent from towns and villages elsewhere, why wouldn’t you choose this lifestyle?
