Meditation, it’s better than sitting around doing nothing. It’s also good for you physically, including boosting your immune system. When we are stressed and anxious, hormones cortisol and adrenaline are pumped too quickly through our bodies. If this happens too often, our adrenal glands become exhausted and this damages our immune system.

In these uncertain and frightening times, it’s so comforting to be reminded that there is still good in this World.

Most of us who exercise outside now, are probably all too familiar with our route. I’m incredibly lucky to live in the beautiful village of Lavenham in Suffolk.

As we start another week in lockdown, some of you will be craving some personal space right now. Others may be desperate for the opposite, these are of course, unusual times and our psyche is being tested!

When we are faced with something that is out of our control, we humans can feel vulnerable and insecure.

When we practice meditation, we are cleansing our minds and it is a time for self reflection. Who am I? A question some of us have asked more than any other. 

Last week, I was met with incredible rage from a stranger, which left me quite shaken. After I had calmed myself down, I found myself thinking more about how this human being had reached such a level of anger. What was going on their life, to lose control like that? 

Artist and photographer Denis Smith has created the most beautiful light photographs. 
Denis has used his incredible talent to overcome alcohol abuse and depression. The collection took 7 years to make and they are truly stunning. 

There are some delicious recipes out there for natural sleeping remedies. This one I came across, includes one of my favourite anti-stress ingredients, magical Ashwagandha. 
Lauren Glucina’s Ascension Kitchen, which is full of wonderful recipes and is incredibly informative and this is my pick of the day. 

Deep within is all is a place of peace. At times it is very hard to find that place. Our day to day lives and the distractions within them, prevent us from taking a moment to reach into that quiet place. 

I love this. I think the owner of this van, wants to make the world a better place. The point about worrying is that we do it before something has actually happened. When and if the moment of impact comes, we don’t worry we either fight or fly.
