We’ve got a guided breathing practice for you to try next time you’re doing the no pants dance!

Looking at what other people are doing isn't inherently bad. But if we observe other people and start to judge ourselves, and change how we see our own value – that can really fuck with your wellbeing. You can admire somebody’s life without seeing it as a blueprint for your own. We’ve got some tips to put a pause on your comparison compulsion.

Has a change in plans got you seizing up? This is the time of year where our schedules can get VERY disrupted. It can send our anxiety through the ceiling. Especially if you’re somebody who doesn’t likes surprises.  When someone else cancels or postpones it changes our neatly organised expectations. We feel the need to rush set it all ‘right’ again. We also feel the pressure to please everyone in the process. So how can we handle it a bit more mindfully?

There’s a real sense of pride when you do something yourself. Sure outsourcing can be relieving but there’s a tonne of research into how we value things we build ourselves. There’s even something called The IKEA Effect according to Dr Marny Lishman. We can take the pride we get from building things ourselves, and apply it to our personal lives; cause we’re building them every day!
