Do you have a photograph that brings an entire feeling back? This is one of mine… 🥰✨after a fire ceremony earlier this year.

I took it for my boyfriend Rob but he sent it back to me this week, and, it feels like a little portal back to what balance means to me: that exact moment of enough stillness to hear myself again 💚

And, looking at it, I remembered the feeling immediately that not everything in my life is sorted and calm. More like: I have stopped trying to hold everything up for five minutes, and I can hear myself again. That is what balance means to me today and it’s not being perfectly zen all the time but finding enough stillness to come back to who I am. 😊🙏🏻

And maybe that’s when I realised this beautiful secret of my balance: in the stillness of surrender, we find our divine essence ✨😊

That is the feeling I am always interested in making more room for…in life and in my treatment room too.

Stress Awareness Week tip 💚🥰: try slowing your breath before trying to solve the whole day whenever you're thinking about the upcoming tasks for the day.

Here’s how to get started in 10 seconds:
First, you should inhale for 4 seconds.
Next, breathe out for 6 seconds.
That’s the whole exercise!😊

Now all you have to do is repeat it for a minute, all of those 6 slow breaths to reset your nervous system and do a quick destress.

Keep it gentle and comfortable ☺️and if it does not feel good, return to your normal breathing 😌.

But before you start, I want you to understand that the point of this quick exercise is not to become instantly serene or breathe correctly after breathing wrong for your entire life. It is simply to create a small pause when the day has become too loud.

But if you want to get to the other parts, DM me… 🙏🏻☺️✨

It’s Stress Awareness Week in the UK and today’s tiny act of care is for anyone whose eyes already feel tired from screens 🙏🏻😊👀

Firstly, I want to let you in on how I start my mornings out on the forest path in Forest of Dean with Duke 🐕 before the screens, messages and demands get their say and why helps with the day’s stress 🥰💚

The truth is, it is not just a nice walk for me. It is an eye break before my eyes spend hours doing close-up screen work.

Why, you may ask? Science says screens can leave eyes feeling dry, tired or a bit blurry partly because we blink less while staring at them.

In fact, the American Academy of Ophthalmology says this simple reset to relieve and destress: every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It also recommends blinking fully and often, because screen-staring tends to turn us into very intense, very dehydrated little owls 😅😵

So here is today’s plan to de-stress in a tiny way:

Look up from the screen and find the furthest thing you can see: a tree, rooftop, cloud or patch of sky. Now, stay with it for 20 seconds and take five slow, full blinks.

Finally, take the next call or tea break outside if possible to give your eyes relief, recharge, and rejuvenation from continuous close-up screen work ✨🥰

I’m not saying woodland strolls completely solve stress 😅.

But from my experience, it gives my eyes, body and brain a different kind of input before the demands begin.

If you were looking for ways to cut down stress, try this small change once before lunch today and then notice how your eyes, and the rest of you feel afterwards 🙏🏻😊💚

How do you de-stress?

Silly me. Apparently being a woodland creature isn't a recognised profession 🤭💚

This Gratitude Friday, I want to thank the Forest of Dean🌲As many of you’ve heard or been in this magical place via me, you know this post was long coming 😍😊

Looking back, we found each other when I was looking for somewhere with a little more life around it: woods, water, changing landscapes, somewhere to walk that did not feel like going around the edges of a square field.

And then I arrived here.

The trees were the first thing. So very tall, like properly tall, like twenty-storey tower blocks, only older, quieter and much better dressed 😄

Then there are the ponds, which are really closer to lakes; the Mandarin ducks and herons; fish in the water; kingfishers if you are fortunate enough to catch a flash of one 🦆

And boy oh boy there’s such an amazing mix of trees too: evergreen conifers, staying green through the year, alongside deciduous trees now shifting into gold for autumn 🥰🍂

The light is getting lower these days…
The evenings are getting pinker too…
And the landscape, the whole landscape is changing, slowly and beautifully 😊

Forest of Dean, thank you for being abundant, alive, magical and very, very tall. Thank you for bringing joy in my mornings, love in my evenings, and blessings throughout my days 🥰✨

And to you, reading this: Is there a place in your life that you’re grateful for today? When did you last spend some time in awe? 🤔✨️😊

A forest is very good at making you realise how quickly you look without seeing and most of us spot the obvious thing first: trees. But what next did your brain notice?😊

If you stay for another few seconds and you’ll see ferns beneath them, light moving through the leaves, different textures, small movements you missed because your brain was ready to move on 🤔

So this is your midweek 90-second pause to recharge and .

That’s it! No lesson to memorise or any requirement to become serene by the end of it😄

Just try to see whether you can let your attention settle somewhere other than the next thing demanding it.

Tell me, what did you after the trees?

A small yet incredible thing your heart does all day is this: Your heart doesn’t keep one fixed pace while you breathe. It changes pace based on your breath 😱 Basically, it usually speeds up a little on the inhale and slows on the exhale.

There is even a name for it: respiratory sinus arrhythmia. I know “Arrhythmia” might sound alarming, and that’s because this breath-linked variation is a normal part of how the body works.

I talk about this when I teach breathing practices because breathing is not a separate little wellness task but part of a much bigger conversation your body is already having.

That said, today is not the day to try to improve your breath all at once. All you have to do now is simply notice it.

Here's where to start:

Do you rush your inhale?

Do you cut your exhale short because the next thing is already demanding your attention?

Can you feel a small pause anywhere?

No need to answer publicly unless you want to. Feel free to DM me.
I’m curious to see what we all find 🙏🏻😊✨

You’ve noticed your shoulders are tight. Have you noticed when they get tight? 🤔

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, timing is part of the picture and it associates each meridian with a two-hour window in the day.

For me, those windows are part of a wider cycle of clearing and preparation, not another rigid timetable we have to follow. ✨

For example, Stomach time can be understood as the stomach preparing to receive food. That does not mean it is time to start eating. I personally eat after 12:00.

So for today, start with something you already notice, like those tight shoulders you noticed yesterday.

For the next few days, note the time you first become aware of the tension and what you were doing. Halfway through your emails? During your commute? After a long stretch without moving?

You’re gathering clues about your day. If a pattern emerges, you have something specific to explore.

You might not have noticed you were holding them up 😊That is the interesting bit. See, most of us can spend hours at a desk, on the sofa, in the car or staring at a phone without really registering what our body has been doing in the background.

Before changing anything, have a quick look around:

Is your jaw doing that determined little clench? 😬
Can your feet feel something solid beneath them? 🦶
Is the chair supporting your back or are you politely refusing its help?🪑

I’m not saying you need to sit perfectly…because I don’t think there is a prize for it anyway 😄

But when you notice what you are holding, you get to decide whether you want to keep holding it.

Before you go, tell me honestly, what did you notice first when you saw the picture below?

This Friday my gratitude and a HUGE thank you goes to my outgoing marketing manager, the wonderful Yvette! 🥰🙏🏻🩵

Truthfully, I've always found keeping up with social media a bit of a challenge! On the flipside, there's nothing quite like seeing a client have a breakthrough, or watching something suddenly click for someone during a workshop.

Those are the moments I absolutely LOVE! 🥰

And I could happily talk for HOURS about the things I teach and practise! But turning all those experiences, thoughts and ideas into a social media post on a particular Tuesday? My mind can go completely blank! 😂

So, to help detangle the chaos, Yvette and I set ourselves quite a challenge in the beginning of the year:

5 posts a week.
3 platforms: Instagram, Facebook AND LinkedIn!

And we've actually completed it well! 💪

Yvette has helped turn my endless stream of ideas into regular posts, complete with images, emojis, hashtags, and all the little details that take SO much time.

More importantly, we've found a rhythm that works!

So when Yvette told me she needed to step away, it came as quite a shock. But I completely understand her decision to prioritise herself and pursue other directions in her business.

She's become a friend as well as a marketing manager, and she'll certainly be a tough act to follow! 💜

So once again, proud and loudly, Thank you, Yvette Engelbrecht🩵, for all your hard work, patience, and for making something I used to struggle with feel so much easier.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I wish you every happiness and success in your future projects! 🥰
