Michelle Wilde

Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Treat yourself when you need - I love treating myself to a facial, massage, or even just a 20 minutes rest at home
Say 'no' to soft drinks
Move your body and do something active everyday even if it’s just stretching while watching TV
Listen to your body and slow down when you are feeling run down
Pick hobbies you love and enjoy that are therapeutic and bring joy for you - this could be a sport, walks with friends, cooking, or knitting
Laugh! Spend time with people you enjoy, book in a comedy show, or watch your favourite comedian on Netflix
Be mindful of the foods you are eating, and ensure you have healthy snacks available when hunger strikes
Get plenty of sleep. Most healthy adults need seven to nine hours of sleep per night to function at their best, so I always have an evening routine and switch off screens before bed

Annabel

(Social Media Manager)

Staying hydrated - I always carry a big water bottle around with me to make sure that I am drinking plenty of water throughout the day
Find ways to stay active throughout the day - I find ways to keep active through the day, this includes going for a walk around the block on my work break or taking the stairs
Be prepared with healthy food and snacks
Developing morning and night routines to form healthy habits

Elaine

(Customer Care Manager & Social Media Coordinator)

Rest well and make sure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night
Have a quiet relaxing ‘you’ time when you can or do the things that you LOVE that fills up your cup and that you find relaxing
Spend as much time as you can outdoors and in nature
Move your body especially if you are like me and you work 6-8 hours a day at a desk. I always make sure that I move around in between work or take a walk at the end of the day

Minimise stress through meditation
Get at least 8 hours of deep and restful sleep, and rise with the sun
Let go of people and beliefs that weigh you down
Dry brush your skin
Go on a regular ‘digital detox’ where you do not touch your phone or computer all day - I try and do this every Sunday and I’m currently off both Facebook and Instagram which has done wonders for my mental health
Practice gratitude - writing down what you are grateful for makes you a more positive and happier person
Swap your morning coffee for celery juice
Breathe more deeply - breathing properly is so important, and so often when we are feeling anxious we take short shallow breaths. Instead, try this: Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 seconds, and breathe out for 4 counts. And repeat twice. I try to focus on my breath when I practice yoga
Connect with your community - try to connect outside of social media with friends and family in one way or another. Connecting with your community could mean a simple phone call or Facetime to a best friend or parents, or lunch with a work colleague.
