  • #224: This Technique Can Improve Sleep, Anxiety & Even Low Back Pain
    Today I explore a technique called Jacobson’s relaxation technique, a simple 4-4-8 breathing exercise and a guided visualisation to finish. Side note: on the relaxation technique, make sure to tense and tighten BUT NOT stress and strain. Take it easy. I hope it helps! All the links you need to connect are below. ⁠ purvidaPLUS Community⁠⁠

  • #224: Make Time For It?

    [VIDEO] P.S. Please watch past 30 seconds before you hate me ha ha. For my busy folks out there, this one's for you. After about 8 years of working with people, I've come to realise, through experience and a few mistakes, that telling someone to "make time for it" or "manage your time better" is about as useful as telling a plant to take a vacation! Yes, it's important to make time, but focusing on this aspect as well can help you feel much less stress and pressure. I hope this is helpful! All the links you need to connect are below.

  • #223: 3 Practical Tips For Men's Mental Health

    [VIDEO] Today, I'm sharing three tools that I've used with myself and hundreds, if not thousands, of clients and patients over the last 8 to 9 years to help with mental health. These tools are non-negotiables for me every day to feel strong and healthy in my mind. I genuinely hope this provides guidance to any men going through challenges right now and gives you the boost you need to get back on your feet.

    A side note: None of this is meant to replace therapy or medical intervention; I'm simply sharing from personal experience with myself and clients over the years.

  • #221: An Evidence-Based 6-Step Technique To Mute Anxiety

    [VIDEO] Today, I share a 6-step technique that you can call upon the next time you feel the claws of anxiety kick in. It requires practice and patience to get good at it, but remember, the brain (mind) is an organ that can be influenced and trained, just like your bicep or your legs. Practicing techniques like this is like going to the mental gym. The more you practice, the stronger your brain becomes, and thus, your ability to manage anxiety becomes stronger. I hope it helps.

  • #220: A Children's Breathing Exercise For Anxiety & Overwhelm

    [VIDEO] I understand that this may not be applicable to some people watching, but I do believe it is an important topic to address for those with children. This comes off the back of guiding my 8-year-old niece through this 'triangle breathing exercise,' which I assumed didn't really have much effect - but a week later, I saw her on her own, practicing the exercise in a room. It was awesome! I hope it helps you and your children out too. Thanks for watching! All the links you need to connect with me are below:

    The big question is: Is there a diet for optimal health? Some time stamps:

  • #216: [Day 13] The Soothing 5 Minute Seaside Escape
    [14 DAY MEDITATION CHALLENGE] Day number 13 is in full swing, and today, I'll guide you through a simple breathing exercise by the ocean. One thing I missed when I was in London was nature, and it really took its toll. So, for anyone who is far away from the sea or the beach right now, this is for you. You can lie back or sit down, whatever makes you feel comfortable, and embrace this 5-minute mini-meditation. I really hope it helps.
