It’s time to unwind!
Savasana – you know that delicious 5 minutes of stillness, lying on the ground at the end of a yoga class? Here is a recording for you to enjoy at your leisure. Simply lie down on the floor and press play. Believe me, it is a productive way to use 5 minutes. You may find some of the mantras useful through the course of your day too. Enjoy!

Do you wake feeling refreshed?
Did you know that research suggests that getting to sleep between the hours of 10pm and 6am is more replenishing than any other 8 hour period.
Find it hard to disentangle yourself from the busyness of your day? Try my 2 minute guided relaxation before your head hits the pillow. You can reach it by clicking here.
5 tips to better sleep:
1. As you lay down to sleep, set the intention of giving yourself permission to rest. If you are distracted use the mantra: “it is just time for me to rest”.
2. Keep it consistent: aim for the same bed time and rise time each day where possible.
3. Make sure you’re getting enough. Make the commitment to getting adequate sleep and let it be a genuine priority.
4. Switch off your mobile and other electronic devices. Eliminate as much light as possible. Wear an eye mask if need be.
5. Try some gentle breath work or stretching before going to bed to disentangle your mind and body from the busyness of your day.

Today I am taking a gratitude walk. As I move I will reflect on all the things in my life for which I am thankful – the things I see around me, and for the people and events unfolding in my life. Every step will be a statement of gratitude… you might like to try it too.
How is the 3 blessings exercise going for you? Not sure how it works? Check out my video blog for instructions.
Something to consider… come for a ‘walk and talk’ session with me – get fit, while we sort out what’s on your mind. It can be a great way to kick start your journey back to vitality.
Lots of love,
