Food
A healthy diet is fundamental to physical and mental well-being.
Blah blah, you've heard it all before I know but seriously, changing your food is a real game changer. But I don't want you to feel deprived in ANY way. There are so many amazing websites, Instagram accounts and youtubers showing you how to cook incredibly easy and delicious healthy foods you just need to get started.
For those of you who are unwell you will have more motivation and for those of you are looking for prevention, well anyone who has lost their health will tell you.
Health is the ONLY true currency we have.
Proper nutrition fuels your body and mind and gives you a natural cure by allowing every cell in your body to detoxify and have the nutrition it requires.
Health Food: Nourishing Your Body with Simple, Delicious Choices
Making small, easy changes to your diet can have a big impact on your health. The key is to incorporate powerful nutrition in ways that are both tasty and sustainable. You don’t have to overhaul everything at once—start by adding more nutrient-dense foods that are simple to prepare and packed with flavor. Here are a few easy ways to boost your nutrition with simple, delicious meals and snacks:
Daily Smoothies: A Quick Power Boost
One of the easiest ways to add nutrition to your day is by blending a smoothie. They’re customizable, quick to make, and you can pack them with all sorts of healthy ingredients.
Base Ingredients: Start with a good base like unsweetened almond milk, coconut water, or Greek yogurt for protein.
Fruits and Vegetables: Add a handful of leafy greens like spinach or kale, and throw in some berries, banana, or apple for a natural sweetness. Don’t be afraid to add a handful of frozen cauliflower or zucchini—these blend seamlessly and add fiber without altering the taste!
Add Protein and Healthy Fats: Toss in a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even peanut butter for a healthy fat boost.
Superfoods and Extras: To make your smoothie even more powerful, consider adding spirulina, turmeric, ginger, or a handful of nuts.
Smoothies are an easy way to get in greens, fruits, and healthy fats all at once!
Green Spreads: A Savory Way to Boost Nutrition
Green spreads are an awesome way to add more vegetables and healthy fats to your meals without much effort. Think of them as a tasty nutrient boost.
My favourite to keep on hand is a blending of parsley, coriander, spinach, flowers like calendula and blue borage blended with salt olive oil (high quality extra virgin) and lemon juice. It tastes so good with most things, on crackers, on eggs, with bread and yoghurt cheese...
Avocado and Herb Spread: Mash up some avocado and mix with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon. It’s rich in healthy fats and can be spread on whole-grain toast, crackers, or even used as a dip.
Hummus with Spinach or Kale: Blend spinach or kale into your hummus for an extra veggie punch, or add some roasted garlic for flavor.
Dressings like Green goddess dressing and variations are a wonderful way to put nutrition in as well as making a boring salad taste incredible.
High-Protein Savory Breakfasts: ‘Dinner for Breakfast’
Changing my breakfasts and that of my clients is an awesome move. Cereals and sweet breakfasts start the day in a rollercoaster of blood sugar spikes and drops.
A high protein breakfast without sugar can leave you full until well into the afternoon with any hangry vibes at all. I used to be all over the place, but it’s been years since I had a low blood sugar ‘hangry episode’.
Starting your day with a savory, protein-packed meal will keep you energized and full for hours. The best part? You can often use leftovers from dinner to create a satisfying breakfast!
Egg on Sourdough: A simple, high-protein breakfast could be as easy as a poached or scrambled egg on sourdough toast. Top with some avocado or fermented veggies for an extra punch of nutrients.
‘Dinner for Breakfast’ Scramble: Use leftovers from last night’s dinner (think roasted chicken or tofu and vegetables) and scramble them up with some eggs. This gives you a balanced breakfast of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and reduces food waste at the same time! Good old mince on toast is one of my favourites.
Why eat organic and spray free? You ask. Surely a little round up ain’t that bad?
Eating organic and spray-free food is about nourishing your body, protecting the environment, and supporting sustainable farming. Here’s why it matters:
1. Avoiding Harmful Chemicals
Many conventional pesticides, including glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup), have been linked to health concerns like hormone disruption, gut microbiome imbalance, and even cancer. While regulatory bodies set “safe limits,” the long-term effects of consuming small amounts daily are still debated.
2. Protecting Your Gut & Overall Health
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes essential for digestion, immunity, and mental health. Pesticides and herbicides can disrupt this delicate ecosystem, potentially leading to inflammation, food sensitivities, and chronic illness.
3. Better Nutrient Density
Organic and spray-free produce often contains higher levels of antioxidants and beneficial compounds. Without synthetic fertilisers forcing rapid growth, plants develop more robust defenses—many of which translate into health benefits for us.
4. Supporting Biodiversity & Pollinators
Pesticides don’t just kill pests; they also harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. Organic farming encourages biodiversity, healthier soil, and more resilient ecosystems.
5. Protecting Farmers & Waterways
Farmworkers exposed to chemical sprays often suffer from higher rates of illness. Plus, these chemicals leach into waterways, affecting aquatic life and contaminating drinking water.
6. The Taste Factor
Many people swear by the superior flavour of organic produce—perhaps because healthier soil produces more vibrant, nutrient-rich crops.
At the end of the day, eating organic and spray-free is a choice to invest in your health and the planet’s future. A little Roundup might not seem like a big deal, but don’t just listen to me look up any of Dr Zach Bush’s work (among many others) around the health of soils and the effect it has on our bodies and planet. Super interesting.
Anything you have grown yourself is amazing.
I keep a minimal garden of rocket, coriander, parsley, basil and sorrel as staples for a green boost to most meals.
They are all super easy to grow (except basil only in spring/summer and coriander in autumn/winter) and I put a handful on almost every meal or in a smoothie.
I often try to grow all sorts and start of the Spring with a hiss and a roar, but I haven’t quite got the hang of gardening consistently, each tomato and courgette probably costs 50 bucks each by the time I've fluffed about gardening. I'll keep trying.
Fermented Foods: Adding Good Bacteria to Your Diet
Fermented foods are a powerful addition to any diet. They’re packed with probiotics that promote gut health, improve digestion, and boost your immune system. They are predigested so they feed your good bacteria and are truly gut healing
Start Small: Try adding a spoonful of sauerkraut or kimchi to your lunch or dinner. You can also enjoy some kefir or kombucha as a refreshing drink.
Fermented Dairy: Greek yogurt is a great source of probiotics and can be enjoyed as part of your breakfast or as a snack. Look for plain, unsweetened varieties to avoid excess sugar.
Fermented Veggies: fermented cabbage, carrots, or beets can be tossed into salads or eaten as a side dish. Or try kimchi with rice and an egg for a quick healthy dinner.

Celtic Sea Salt: A Healthier Alternative
When seasoning your food, consider switching to Celtic Sea Salt. Unlike regular table salt, which can be heavily processed, bleached and stripped of minerals, Celtic Sea Salt is harvested naturally and contains over 80 trace minerals that are beneficial for your body. For an extra boost mix a jar full with kelp powder and use it just as you would regular salt.
Add it to Your Meals: Sprinkle Celtic Sea Salt on your veggies, soups, or eggs for a mineral boost and to bring out natural flavors without overwhelming your taste buds.
Use it in Cooking: When preparing grains like quinoa or brown rice, cook them in water with a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt for extra flavor.
Healthy oils and fats
Throw out any oils and fats that are vegetable oils that are solid at room temp (other than coconut oil). They are hydrogenated which messes with their cell structure that also messes with your cell structure and cause inflammation.
Animal fat is not bad for you, it is full of vitamins and minerals (only from chemical and hormone free, free ranged and pasture raised but if you are vegetarian or vegan then of course these are not up your alley. Go for avocados nuts, seeds, and coconut oils.
Your hormones and brain and whole body needs good fats to function well – fat free is a huge myth for wellness!
So, follow all the usual good advice like wholefoods, fresh unsprayed veggies and fruit, grow some of your own is even better even if it’s only a few herbs in pots.
Making Nutrition Easy and Delicious
Incorporating these simple, powerful changes into your diet doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By adding a smoothie to your morning routine, enjoying savory breakfasts, and adding fermented foods and nutrient-dense spreads, you’ll be well on your way to a healthier, more balanced diet that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Try making just one of these changes today and see how easy it can be to nourish your body with simple, delicious foods!
Emotional, overeating and comfort eating
I’d love to tell you how to overcome this but alas I am one of those people! I get so much joy from food and when I am stressed or bored you can only see my bum poking out from the pantry. But I try to make sure that all the food in there is nutritious and not junk food, so I have no choice but to eat well, even if I am definitely overeating.
When I have resolved this, I will write here about it😊
Water
Water, it sort of needs its own book really, where do I start?
Water is the foundation of life—without it, nothing survives. Our bodies are made up of around 60-70% water, meaning the quality of the water we consume directly impacts our health, energy, and even consciousness. But here’s the issue: most water available to us today is far from optimal for our well-being.
Why Most Water Isn’t Good for Us
Modern water is often stripped of its natural structure, overloaded with contaminants, and energetically "dead." Here’s why:
Chemical Contamination: Tap water is treated with chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals that may disrupt our gut microbiome and endocrine system.
Microplastics & Heavy Metals: Studies show that microplastics, lead, and other toxins have made their way into much of the world’s drinking water.
Lack of Natural Minerals: Filtration removes impurities, but it also strips out essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which are crucial for hydration at a cellular level.
Energetically "Flat" Water: Water that has been forced through pipes and treatment plants loses its natural structure and vibrational energy.
How to Improve Water for Health
Purifying water is just step one—remineralising and revitalising it is just as important. Here’s how:
Filtration: Start with a high-quality filter (reverse osmosis, carbon, or distillation) to remove harmful contaminants.
Remineralisation: Add trace minerals back in—use natural sea salt, shungite, or mineral drops to restore water’s life-giving properties.
Revitalisation & Structuring:
Swirling or Vortexing (mimicking natural spring movement) restructures water for better absorption.
Sunlight & Crystals (like quartz or amethyst) can help re-energise water.
Intentions & Frequencies: Sound vibrations, music, or even spoken words have been shown to influence water’s molecular structure.
Water Holds Memory – The Science & Spirituality Behind It
Both Dr. Masaru Emoto and Veda Austin have provided groundbreaking research on water’s ability to hold and respond to energy, thoughts, and emotions.
Dr. Emoto's Work: He exposed water to different words, emotions, and music, then froze it to observe the crystalline structures. Positive words like "love" and "gratitude" created beautiful symmetrical patterns, while negative words like "hate" produced chaotic, distorted structures.
Veda Austin’s Research: Her work shows water responding visually to energy, emotions, and even images before freezing—suggesting that water “remembers” and “communicates.”
What This Means for Our Bodies
Since we are mostly water, the vibrational quality of the water we drink directly affects our cells, emotions, and overall vitality. If water holds memory, then consuming high-vibration, structured water could potentially support:
Healing & Regeneration – Just like plants wilt without proper hydration, our cells thrive when given pure, structured water.
Emotional Balance – If water is influenced by our thoughts, imagine the impact of drinking “love-charged” water.
Increased Energy & Vitality – Living water may enhance cellular function, leading to better hydration and energy levels.
Real-Life Examples: Water’s Healing Power
Reviving Plants: Many gardeners notice plants watered with structured or filtered water grow more vigorously than those given tap water. Experiments show that plants given “blessed” water thrive, while those exposed to negative energy struggle.
Ancient Cultures & Sacred Water: Many indigenous traditions revere natural springs as sacred, understanding the power of high-energy water for healing.
Bringing Higher-Vibration Water Into Our Lives
Drink pure, structured water daily.
Use sound therapy (singing bowls, mantras, or classical music) to energise water.
Speak intentions or prayers into your water before drinking.
Spend time near natural bodies of water to absorb their healing frequencies, put your own healing frequencies into these bodies of water.
Water is not just hydration—it is life, consciousness, and energy. When we treat it with respect, we invite deeper health, harmony, and connection into our bodies and our world.
Ok so how do we use our water?
How to Stay Hydrated with Mineralised Water
Hydration isn’t just about drinking lots of water—it’s about absorbing it properly. Many people drink litres of water daily but still experience signs of dehydration because the water lacks essential minerals. Without minerals, water doesn’t hydrate the body effectively and can even flush out electrolytes, making dehydration worse.
Signs of Dehydration (Beyond Dark Urine)
Many people assume dehydration only shows up as dark urine, but the body gives many other signals, including:
Feeling thirsty (by the time you're thirsty, you’re already dehydrated)
Dry mouth or waking up to drink water at night
Mouth breathing, snoring, or dry lips in the morning
Headaches, dizziness, or fatigue
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Constipation or sluggish digestion
Muscle cramps, weakness, or irregular heartbeat
Why Mineralised Water is Key
Drinking demineralised water (such as distilled or reverse osmosis water) without remineralising it can lead to water depletion—your body struggles to hold onto the water, leading to increased urination and electrolyte loss.
To stay properly hydrated, aim for mineral-rich water by:
Adding a pinch of unrefined sea salt (like Celtic or Himalayan salt) to each glass to provide essential electrolytes.
Using trace mineral drops or fulvic/humic acid for deeper hydration.
Drinking natural spring or well water if available, as it contains minerals naturally.
Eating hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and celery, which contain structured water.
Best Hydration Practices
Drink small amounts consistently (around 2 litres per day, depending on body size and activity level).
Sip water slowly instead of chugging large amounts at once, which can overwhelm the kidneys.
Avoid drinking large amounts during meals—this can dilute stomach acid and digestive enzymes, weakening digestion.
Drink first thing in the morning to kickstart hydration after overnight fluid loss.
Listen to your body—if you feel thirsty, lightheaded, or sluggish, increase your water intake.
Water & Gut Health: The Missing Link
Hydration is crucial for digestion and gut health. Water supports:
Stomach acid production – Without enough water, stomach acid becomes weak, leading to bloating, reflux, and poor nutrient absorption.
Enzyme function – Digestive enzymes need water to break down food efficiently.
Mucus production – The gut lining is protected by mucus, which requires adequate hydration.
Smooth bowel movements – Dehydration can cause constipation and disrupt detoxification.
Final Thought: Hydrate Smarter, Not Just More
Drinking water is essential, but drinking the right kind of water in the right way is what truly hydrates. Mineralised, structured, and properly timed water intake supports digestion, brain function, and overall well-being.
Creating Your Sanctuary – Even If It’s Not Your Dream Home
Not everyone can have their dream home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a space that feels nourishing, safe, and peaceful. Your home—whether it’s a house, an apartment, or even just one room—can become a sanctuary with small, intentional changes.
The Power of Your Space
Your environment deeply affects your well-being. Just like mineralised water hydrates your body properly, a thoughtfully designed space feeds your soul. When your home feels good, you feel good.
Hygge: The Swedish Art of Comfort & Joy
The Swedish (and Danish) concept of hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") is all about creating a warm, cosy atmosphere that brings a sense of joy and well-being. It’s about embracing simplicity, comfort, and togetherness. Even if you can’t have your dream home, you can bring hygge into your space by:
Soft lighting – Candles, warm lamps, and fairy lights create a calming glow.
Comfortable textures – Soft blankets, cushions, and natural materials (wool, wood, linen) make a space feel inviting.
Personal touches – Items that make you happy, like books, plants, or meaningful art, bring joy.
Bringing nature in – Fresh flowers, indoor plants, or an open window for fresh air can shift the energy.
Decluttering: Making Space for the New
Clutter isn’t just physical—it’s energetic. When you clear out what no longer serves you, you create space for new opportunities, clarity, and peace.
Start small – One drawer, one shelf, one corner at a time.
Ask: Does this bring me joy? If not, let it go (Marie Kondo style!).
Keep your sanctuary clear – Even if the rest of your home is messy, protect one space where you can breathe and unwind.
Your Sanctuary, Your Rules
This is your space—make it feel safe, calm, and joyful.
Use scents that soothe you (essential oils, incense, or fresh herbs).
Have a special spot just for you—a cosy chair, a meditation corner, or a reading nook.
Let it evolve—your sanctuary will change with you, so allow it to grow.
Even if it’s just one corner of your home, make it yours. A place to rest, recharge, and reconnect—because you deserve that.
Of course a lot of us have other people in our homes who also want and need the space to be good for them, so come up with plans together to make it work for everyone.
3. Love: Nurturing Relationships and Emotional Well-being
Human connection and love are essential for mental and emotional health, but the foundation of all healthy relationships begins with self-love. When you nurture yourself, you set the tone for how others treat you and create space for deeper, more meaningful connections.
Self-Love: The Most Important Relationship
Loving yourself isn’t just about self-care routines—it’s about doing the inner work to heal, grow, and truly accept yourself. This might mean:
Meditation & Reflection – Spending time in stillness can help you uncover limiting beliefs and emotional patterns that no longer serve you.
Movement & Body Connection – Yoga, dance, or mindful exercise can help release stored emotions and deepen self-awareness.
Therapy & Inner Work – A skilled therapist or coach can guide you through deep healing, helping you rewrite old narratives and cultivate self-worth.
When you honour yourself, you naturally attract relationships that reflect that same love and respect.
Steps to Healthy Relationships
Cultivate Self-Love
Prioritise self-care, nourishing your body and mind.
Practice gratitude for yourself—your strengths, your growth, and even your challenges.
Set healthy boundaries to protect your energy and emotional well-being.
Surround Yourself with Positive Influences
Choose relationships that uplift and support you, rather than drain you.
Let go of toxic dynamics that cause stress or self-doubt.
Seek out friendships and communities that encourage your authenticity and growth.
Practice Active Listening
Truly listen, without waiting to respond.
Be present and offer understanding, creating a space where others feel valued and heard.
Communicate openly, honestly, and with kindness.
Express Affection and Appreciation
Show love through words, gestures, and actions—a simple “thank you” or hug can strengthen relationships.
Celebrate the people in your life, recognising their efforts and presence.
Remember: giving love starts with being open to receiving it too.
Love is an Energy You Cultivate
When you nurture yourself first, love flows effortlessly into all areas of your life—your relationships, your passions, and your overall sense of joy.
I have started a practice last year where I wake and leap straight up without lying there thinking and creating a narrative that sets a negative tone for the day. I make a huge warm lemon water and without switching on lights to keep my melatonin levels high I do guided meditation to start my day off well. I usually have to sneak up earlier than the kids and my partner to do this and sometimes they get up too early which can be somewhat frustrating, but I will get more Zen about that as time goes on 😊.
Then a bit of exercise which might be online yoga or a walk around the block. This is quite a brilliant way to start the day and since I have been doing this my life has really changed. It’s taken me until in my 50’s to finally do this sort of thing for myself and I’m a bit of a dumb arse for not starting sooner TBH.
I always tell myself ‘I love you’ when I see myself in the mirror give myself a little wink. I heard of someone recently who always bows to the mirror as she goes by and says “Milady”. 😊

Movement for Health: It’s Not Just About Exercise
Yeah, yeah—we’ve all heard it before: “Exercise is good for you.” But when you’re tired, unmotivated, or just not feeling it, the idea of working out can seem like a chore. Until you start doing it. Then suddenly, you’re wondering why you resisted for so long.
Movement isn’t just about looking good. It’s about feeling good—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It boosts energy, sleep, and mood, balances hormones, and even helps regulate stress and emotions. But the key? Finding movement that feels fun, natural, and doable for you.
Why Movement Changes Everything
🔥 Regulates Emotions – Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or low? Moving your body releases endorphins (natural mood boosters) and dopamine (the “feel-good” hormone). It also helps shake off stuck emotions, making you feel lighter and clearer.
💡 Gives You More Energy – It sounds backwards, but using energy actually gives you more of it. Regular movement increases circulation, oxygen flow, and metabolism, making you feel more awake and alive.
🌙 Helps You Sleep Better – Movement helps reset your circadian rhythm, reducing stress hormones during the day so your body can produce melatonin at night. Just avoid intense workouts too close to bedtime.
⚖️ Balances Hormones – Exercise regulates cortisol (stress hormone), insulin, and oestrogen/testosterone levels, which helps with mood swings, period health, and even metabolism.
Make Movement Fun & Easy
If the idea of traditional exercise makes you groan, try sneaking movement into your daily life instead of forcing yourself into a rigid workout routine. Here are some ways to make it effortless and enjoyable:
💃 Move While Doing Everyday Stuff – Squats while brushing your teeth, stretching while watching TV, dance breaks while cooking… every little bit adds up!
🏆 Set Mini Challenges – Try 7-minute workouts (like Lucy Wyndham-Read’s quick routines) or aim for 10,000 steps a day. These small wins build momentum fast!
🚴♀️ Make It Productive – Walk while listening to a podcast, take calls on the move, or cycle instead of driving. You’re killing two birds with one stone.
🎉 Find What You Love – Hiking, trampolining, dancing in your living room, paddleboarding—who says movement has to be boring?
The hardest part is starting. But once you do, you’ll feel so good that you’ll wonder why you fought it for so long. So go on—move your body. You won’t regret it. 💪✨
Incorporate Variety: Combine cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises for a balanced routine.
6. Sleep: Restoring the Body and Mind
Sleep is vital for physical recovery, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. Proper rest enhances productivity, mood, and overall health.
The Ultimate Guide to Deep, Restorative Sleep
Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it’s one of the most powerful healing tools for your body and mind. Good sleep reduces inflammation, restores brain function, balances hormones, and regulates emotions. But in today’s world, with artificial lighting, screens, stress, and stimulants, many people struggle to get truly restorative sleep.
Your Morning Sets the Tone for Your Night
How you start your day determines how well you’ll sleep at night. This is because of your circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock that regulates sleep and wake cycles.
To support a healthy rhythm:
☀️ Get Morning Sunlight – Exposure to natural light within 30–60 minutes of waking helps set your body’s clock, making it easier to fall asleep later.
🚶♀️ Move Your Body – Exercise in the morning or afternoon improves sleep quality, but avoid intense workouts late at night.
☕ Be Mindful of Caffeine – Even coffee in the morning can affect your sleep at night, as caffeine has a half-life of 5–6 hours and can linger in your system. If you struggle with sleep, consider switching to herbal tea or matcha instead.
The Role of Light: Blue Light, LED Flicker & Dimmer Switches
Your body is designed to respond to natural light cycles, but artificial lighting confuses your brain into thinking it’s still daytime.
💡 Avoid Blue Light at Night – Screens, LED bulbs, and fluorescent lights emit blue light, which suppresses melatonin, the sleep hormone. Use blue light-blocking glasses and dim lighting in the evening.
🔥 Use Warmer Lights – Swap LED lights for incandescent bulbs, salt lamps, or candlelight in the evening. LED flickering (invisible to the eye) can also overstimulate the nervous system, disrupting sleep.
🛑 Minimise WiFi & EMFs – Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from WiFi, phones, and smart devices can affect sleep quality. Turn off WiFi at night and keep electronics out of the bedroom.
Melatonin: The Body’s Natural Anti-Inflammatory & Repair System
Melatonin isn’t just for sleep—it’s a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation, repair cells, and regulate the immune system. Poor sleep means lower melatonin, which can lead to chronic inflammation, brain fog, and a weakened immune system.
The Nervous System & Sleep: Switching from Fight-or-Flight to Rest-and-Digest
Many people struggle with sleep because they are stuck in fight-or-flight mode (sympathetic nervous system activation). To transition into rest-and-digest mode (parasympathetic state), try:
🌿 Magnesium Glycinate – This highly absorbable form of magnesium relaxes muscles, calms the nervous system, and supports deep sleep.
🍵 Calming Herbs – Chamomile, valerian root, passionflower, and lemon balm help relax the body and mind.
🧘♂️ Breathwork & Meditation – Deep breathing, yoga, and mindfulness help regulate the nervous system.
🚿 Warm Baths or Showers – Raising body temperature before bed helps trigger sleepiness. Add Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) for extra relaxation.
Food & Sleep: What You Eat Affects How You Sleep
🥑 Healthy Fats & Protein – Avoid blood sugar crashes by having a small protein- and fat-rich snack before bed (e.g., nuts, a boiled egg, or a spoonful of nut butter).
🍫 Limit Sugar & Alcohol – Sugar and alcohol disrupt deep sleep by causing blood sugar spikes and liver stress.
☕ Watch Caffeine & Stimulants – Even morning coffee can affect sleep 12+ hours later by interfering with adenosine, the chemical that makes you feel sleepy. If you struggle with sleep, try reducing caffeine or switching to herbal tea.
Final Sleep Routine for Deep Rest
✅ Sunlight & movement in the morning
✅ Reduce blue light & dim lights at night
✅ Magnesium glycinate & calming herbs
✅ Turn off WiFi & remove electronics from the bedroom
✅ Regulate blood sugar with the right foods
✅ Switch off fight-or-flight mode with breathwork, meditation, or a warm bath
Sleep is the foundation of health—supporting it will transform your energy, mood, and overall well-being. 🌙✨
Meditation, Visualisation, Gratitude & Journaling – Your Life-Changing Superpowers
You don’t need to spend hours sitting cross-legged in silence to change your life. Just 5 minutes a day of meditation, visualisation, gratitude, or journaling can rewire your brain, unlock your purpose, and attract incredible things into your life. The key? Consistency.
The more you practice, the more magnetic your energy becomes. People will feel it. You’ll feel it. And suddenly, life starts flowing in a way that feels almost… magical.
Why These Practices Are So Powerful
🧘♀️ Meditation – The Mind Reset
Meditation recalibrates your nervous system, reducing stress, increasing clarity, and bringing you into the present moment. It helps you shift from survival mode (overthinking, worrying, reacting) into creation mode (calm, centred, intuitive).
🔮 Visualisation – Your Reality in the Making
When you visualise what you want—whether it’s healing, success, joy, or abundance—your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality. It starts rewiring itself to make that vision your truth. Athletes, CEOs, and top performers use this—so why not you?
💛 Gratitude – The Ultimate Magnet for More Goodness
Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance. When you start appreciating even the smallest things, life gives you more to be grateful for. It’s like turning on a receiving signal for joy, opportunities, and even unexpected miracles.
📝 Journaling – Your Deepest Self, on Paper
Journaling helps you process emotions, gain clarity, and release limiting beliefs. It’s also a way to track your growth and uncover patterns you wouldn’t notice otherwise. Some simple prompts:
What am I grateful for today?
What would my highest self do in this situation?
What limiting belief am I ready to let go of?
How to Make It Work for You
⏳ Just 5 Minutes – You don’t need an hour. Start with 5 minutes a day and watch your life shift.
📲 Use Guided Meditations – Try Insight Timer for free meditations or go all in with Joe Dispenza’s Rewired series.
🎧 Stack Habits – Meditate while drinking your morning tea, journal before bed, or do a gratitude list while walking.
✨ Trust the Process – Even if you don’t see instant changes, keep going. Your energy is shifting, and soon, so will your reality.
This isn’t just self-care. It’s a superpower. Use it, and watch what happens. 💫
