Sharon is a Vocational Development Keyworker, and since downloading BetterPoints, has ditched the car to travel to her job in a school via bus, and is seeing the benefits, including reduced stress and increased free time.
Here's what she said about her experience with Think, Move, Breathe:
"In my job, I work with school children who are mostly in the last 6 months of school to help them achieve a positive destination upon leaving school. I work in Lanark Grammar School and I travel there from Blantyre every day on the bus after getting rid of my car.
I first ditched the car after finding this app through my employer, South Lanarkshire Council. Getting the bus means I arrive much more relaxed as I'm not having to deal with traffic, plus it's kinder to the environment. I would highly recommend giving the bus a go if you're travelling for work as you can reduce stress levels and earn points at the same time. On top of that, I can charge my phone on the bus and I'm free to answer emails and phone calls which I couldn't do if I had to drive, this is a great help and gives me more free time.
Outside of work, I am walking more and getting fresh air which is improving my mental and physical health and feeling I have much more energy. I am slowly starting to see my points build up on the app and looking forward to using them to treat myself to something nice in a few months."
