hen life gets busy and the work / family / responsibilities juggle gets all too real, it’ s often our health that can fall by the wayside. If you’ re struggling with having too many balls in the air, it can be a good time to take a step back and figure out how to begin feeling like yourself again. That’ s why this section is packed with simple( and sometimes surprising) ways to help you prioritise your wellness.
As the temperature starts to dip, sometimes our mood can also head downwards – and there’ s scientific proof as to why. Thankfully, by adding a few tweaks to your routine, it’ s possible to take some steps to help improve your winter mood.
If you’ ve heard of perimenopause and wondered if it applies to you, take a look at our story with Shelly Horton. The journalist and presenter shares how she discovered the answers for some of her tricky health concerns, and the lifestyle changes that help her manage her symptoms.
Plus, we have some surprising ways to bring wellness into your every day. Discover the health benefits of the age-old tradition of sauna( the Scandinavians are really onto something!). Maybe a home sauna is just what you need to warm up this winter. But when it comes down to it, we’ re always about the connection – and that’ s why we’ ve looked at the ways friendship adds so much to our lives. So settle in and take a moment to focus on yourself – you deserve it. >
