We live in a World of Stress

Our modern lives are full of stressors. A bit of stress can be useful, but we don’t want to live in “reactive mode” all the time.

Ideally we want to be able to see as we’re getting stressed and take measures to avoid unnecessary worry and stress.

But it’s like we live in a bubble. It can be difficult to see that we’re getting stressed.

Start By Seeing Stress in Other People

It can be helpful to start to see when other people are stressed. It’s easier to recognise it in others than ourselves. (Generally I wouldn’t recommend stepping in and telling them about it. They’re unlikely to thank you!)

I can often see my...

Today we’re talking easy ways to add movement into our day. Having a regular exercise routine is fantastic for our bodies.  In our modern lives, it’s easy to be sedentary for most of the day (even if we do exercise.) Our bodies are made to move!

Vegetables are also the mainstay of...
