This month my focus is on self-care. But what the heck is self-care anyway I hear you cry? Self-care is often regarded as being selfish – looking after yourself first and not attending to the needs of others. Putting other people first is polite and appropriate at times. Pouring them the first drink, offering them a …
We all need to sleep. Sleep gives your body the time and ability to rest, repair, grow and support your natural biorhythms. After a good night’s sleep we will feel relaxed and energised – who doesn’t want that! For our bodies to repair and grow, within a 24 hour period a certain number of hours …
Do you sometimes feel like you are on a merry-go-round getting nowhere fast? We all live busy lives – work, social life, family, children, extended families, social media.

Are you stuck on a not-so-merry-go-round of saying ‘Yes’ to requests? Does being seen as the go-to person excite you and get you more requests? Do you sometimes feel stressed but push through to fulfil your commitment? I said ‘yes’ to too many things to help other people, and when I couldn’t get them all …
You know that feeling when you’re drained of energy, physically and mentally, but you don’t know why? You’ve had a good nights’ sleep and feel great when you wake up but a few hours later you find yourself falling asleep in the chair or worse in a meeting! It’s happened a few times recently and …
Has one of these widely-held (but completely wrong) beliefs about meditation put you off? Curious about the benefits of meditation but not sure it’s for you? The truth is (and much research has been done around this) meditation has many mental, emotional, spiritual and physical benefits which can be easily accessed by anyone. So, let …

Quotes come in all shapes and sizes and cover a multitude of situations and circumstances. No matter how you are feeling (anxious, stressed, worried, self-conscious, happy, excited etc.) there is a quote …
