Excersise This can be a frightening subject if you’re not used to exercise, however this could be your saving grace in helping you getting over your anxiety. There are many forms of passive exercise walking, dancing, golf, or tai chi. The more aggressive types of exercise are running, weight lifting, aerobics to karate, or something that you choose. You may try several types of exercise until you land on one that you prefer. It’s not all about exercising the body but also the mind, either would

MIND I think of times when I was a child, being on holiday and recreating those special times that meant so much to me. I run this through my head several times. I think of the holidays I have had as an adult with the very special moments I have made for myself. The gifts I have enjoyed the most as a child, a particular bike and as a teenager a motorbike, once more I run these thoughts over and over in my mind. Having my children and noticing how they made me feel and those times when you

Relax Throughout the day or even day to day we get more and more tension that builds up and is usually stored in the muscles. This happens every day, we tend to accept it as our muscles habituate, in other words the muscles get used to the feeling and so we tend not to notice the strain and tension that is held in the muscles. While you’re reading this you probably have your shoulders raised up high because of not being relaxed. The next time you’re doing anything, such as reading a book or

However, sometimes we just have to acknowledge that our New Year’s Resolutions were unreasonable

Yesterday we decided it was time to think about putting up the Yurt in Truffle Wood ready for delivering the group weight loss sessions.  However, something happened that stopped play, we found Truffles, how exciting!  We planted spores around the Oak Trees last year and was not expecting to find any Truffles for another 8-10 years.  But unbeknown to us, it would appear that the spores are aleady in the woods naturally. Alan is now thinking of organising Truffle Hunting weekends, lol, always

So the beginning of a new year allows us to make new choices, to get rid of the old habits and renew ourselves both in body and mind. The fact that we keep making resolutions even when we don’t always follow through ultimately means that we have hope and a certain level of belief in our ability to change and be more of who we really want to be.  But just because we want to change and be a better person doesn't mean we have to go all out and making huge changes to our lives.  Think small we can

A sneak preview into my New Years Resolutions - Keep Fit. To take part in group activities, I like to be with others and it helps me to keep to my goals if I have the support of others, now you might say that this is because I am competitive or that I prefer to be with others face to face. This Christmas a Fitbit arrived for me, unfortunately on Christmas Eve I bent down to pick something up and low and behold my back seized up.  I have been in severe pain ever since, no sympathy needed. On the
