Hey, morning folks! 👋
Good morning Edinburgh. Let's make this week count.
Before we get into it. If you fancy something a bit different this week the Scotland Ice Hockey Cup is at Murrayfield Ice Rink with NHL Alumni USA vs Canada. Tickets still available. Brilliant night out. 🏒
Two minutes to get you Thriving, let's GO!
This week’s Thriving Business🌿
Every Monday, we share a local & independent Edinburgh business all about wellness, fitness and health.

📊 This Week's Fitness Fact:
🌊 Sea swimming at one of Edinburgh or East Lothian’s stunning beaches can help reduce stress. Cold water = clear head = worth it!
🏔️ Walking up Arthur's Seat burns the same calories as a 5K run. Edinburgh's best gym has no membership fee.
🎯This Week’s Monday Mission:
Do one thing this week that is purely for you.
A treatment. A run. A long walk somewhere beautiful.
You cannot pour from an empty cup and Edinburgh has everything you need to fill it back up. 🧡
Completed the Monday Mission? Share it on your stories and tag @keepedinburghthriving. We'll repost our favourites every week!
🌱 This week's Thriving Thought:
You don’t climb Arthur's Seat by standing at the bottom and looking at it. One step at a time. 🧡
