My own wellbeing and resilience as a coach is underpinned by daily practices that fit with my lifestyle and preferences – at the moment these include daily walking, yoga, and resonant breathing and meditation for short periods. Like most people, I fall in and out of good habits and self care routines, but return again and again to certain routines that help me restore my energy, calm myself or feel joyful and connected. My combination of practices might not suit you – but there is a lot of research about the types of mental and physical habits that tend to lead to greater wellbeing and you will find a selection of these in the ‘Tools’ section. My aim is to offer you a menu of possibilities for those times when you don’t feel inspired, so you can put together something just right for you.
Some people find traditional meditation practices challenging or unappealing; there are many documented benefits to meditation but rather like exercise, the best wellbeing practices are the ones you will actually do. Here I offer two alternatives I have loved playing with – mindfulful photography and mindfulness in nature, or rewilding. Both have offered me creative ways of feeling peaceful and connected, with greater ease and lightness. I have seen different benefits from using these approaches and would love to invite you to explore them in the free courses offered below.
