5 Top Tips for Feeling Better

Hello! And welcome to a little blog featuring some of the ways I find valuable in feeling a little more on top of my life & connected. They may seem obvious, but taking a step back sometimes & reflecting on whether even the easy stuff you know, you’re actually doing.. anyway. Sit back & enjoy & feel free to download as a PDF if you wish!

MOVE YOUR BODY

Honestly. It’s the answer to so many of our problems: mental wellbeing, physical discomfort, ability to feel strong & healthy.  It doesn’t matter how, variety is wonderful so whether it’s 5 minutes breathing, yoga, Pilates, skipping, HIIT, dancing… movement is medicine & allowing those endorphins to flood your system can have a huge impact

REDUCE FRICTION

If you want to create or sustain a habit you need to make it as accessible as possible. The consistency of showing up is far easier when we make, for example, doing a workout, simple. Clearing a space for your yoga mat & getting your gym clothes ready with the intention of working out are small votes for the habit & mean it’s more likely to happen

WRITE LISTS

Lists may not be your jam (yet) but they can be so useful for ticking off even those tiny 2 minute jobs that otherwise sit in our mental to do list but forgotten when we have a moment.  Something like ‘Notes’ on iphone is great for having across your devices & being able to check to help focus & prioritise your time

5 MINUTES

Never underestimate the power of 5 minutes. There are definitely times that down time is 100% the priority, but don’t not do a workout or go outside if you only have 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes are not only votes for the version of you you value, they are enough to alter the chemical make-up within you to reboot your energy, regulate your nervous system & unwind the body from the day

DECLUTTER

You may not be into Marie Kondo or Feng Shui, but taking the time to align your environment with how you want to live can have a huge impact on how you feel. If every time you look at that drawer you know it’s full of clutter, it can distract your focus, add to the mental load & sense of overwhelm.  Give yourself 5 minutes. Even if you just get started, it all helps towards a sense of calm
