This meditation is useful for anyone who wants to find some space to let go of any stress that may be within. As it is Stress Awareness month we thought this would be fitting to share with you and hope that you can find some time to float away for a little bit.

This week, Claire and Sue take a closer look at how our thoughts can impact on the way we view stress. Exploring how we actually have more control over this than we perhaps believe we do; and sharing tips for how we can start to change our thinking, to enable us to respond differently when we experience stress.

April is Stress Awareness month and in this episode, Sue shares some tips for opening up conversations about stress and ways to look after ourselves in times of stress; including the Stress Canister technique.

Well it's spring and it can be a new beginning or it can be an ending, whichever way you want to look at it there is something good to come that supports our mental well-being.

We have something a little different for you this week. Following on from our recent Emotional Wealth series, plus feedback from our discussion on 'sitting with feelings' in episode 66, we have a short, guided exercise for you. We know how difficult it can be sometimes to process and just 'be' with our emotions, so listen in and let us guide you through.

Well-being is a term that has evolved increasingly into our every day language and it's great to see more of us focusing on building up our well-being. But what actually is well-being and what do we mean when we talk about it? Claire and Sue share their own definitions of well-being and discuss the importance of understanding and identifying what well-being looks and feels like for each of us.

We often hear that sitting with our feelings is the key to accepting and working with them, but how do we actually put this into practice? In this episode, Claire and Sue delve into the concept of 'just sitting with it' and explore what this really means, how it helps us and how over time, this does become easier, regardless of how intense or unwelcome those feelings may be.
