    The importance of rest

    Friday 27 January Nobody talks about the value of allowing yourself rest and recovery days. Whether you’re an athlete or not, rest days are vital for mental health recovery as well as physical recovery. For so long I didn’t “allow myself” days where I barely move from my bed.

    Getting out of a funk

    Monday 23 January January is a hard month for us all, and a time when we often feel low and need a pick-me-up.

    Making Memories

    Thursday 15 December. Making memories means doing, creating, living and experiencing – so that you can look back on those moments.

The lack of vitamin C, the cold and dark days, the lack of motivation… We all experience the concept of SAD on some spectrum during the winter months.
