Though we all breathe (I know, profound!), few of us breathe in a way that supports our feelings of wellbeing. Breakthwork can be used to calm us when we are stressed, invigorate us when we are depleted, improve productivity and balance us when we feel discombobulated.
In this enjoyable conversation with the delightful Daisy Guy, we will be exploring how this works and four simple strategies that can help you in your life.
Daisy suffers from time-blindness (a symptom of ADHD) and she will also give us her tip on how to manage this tricky trait.
So, if you would like to learn some simple strategies that can help you feel better in minutes, you're in the right place.

September 19, 2024 How to Manage Stress: Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the Chinese art of arranging your space in order to achieve harmony and balance in your life. In this respect it is less a luxury and more of a tool for better living for more a more stress-free life.
In this latest How to Manage Stress video, I am in conversation with feng shui consultant Rash Rattu to understand the basic principles and learning some simple techniques that can help your home be a place of calm in a turbulent world.
Because it is such a broad subject, we are focusing mainly on the areas of health and relationships since it can be said that these have the biggest effect on your health.
I do hope you enjoy it. To save it to your favourites. Like it, comment (especially if you have any thoughts on Rash's only life stressor) and share it with others. You never know when it might land at just the right time for someone.
As always, if you have any questions, do let me know.

September 19, 2024 How to Manage Stress: Having it all
Parent, partner, sibling, offspring, grandparent, carer, entrepreneur/careerist: it's hard to have it all. Yet, especially in this day and age, that's what we expect of ourselves. After all, social media, and the media in general, never tires of the subject or of the expectations that we "must" meet for ourselves and others. The comparison game has us reaching every higher: the impression that others are sailing through can exacerbate this endless striving, leaving us feeling exhausted, frustrated and even anxious.
It can be relentless, causing us to feel not good enough, like we are failing. So we try harder, and harder, until something gives.
What gives is either your expectations of yourself or your life, your health (mental and physical). Or perhaps your relationships or your job. In the worst case scenario, all of the above.
In this episode of How to Manage Stress I am in conversation with mother, wife, daughter, sibling and award-winning entrepreneur Luna Williams about her struggles with juggling so many things and how she deals with it.
Learn the art and reality of "having it all". And if you know someone who struggles with this, do like and share: you never know when it might land at just the right time for someone.
