Ever realised how a good dose of sunshine can turn your day right around? So have we, which is why we thought we’d explore how soaking up a bit of daily sunlight can truly transform your mood.
There's solid evidence showing the perks of getting direct sunlight, particularly in the morning. Why the morning, you might ask? Well, it aligns your internal clock - or circadian rhythm - with the natural day-night cycle. This does wonders for your sleep quality, helping you drift off more easily at night.

We’re often so caught up in ticking off to-do lists, meeting deadlines, and caring for others that we forget the most important thing of all – ourselves. Showing up for yourself isn’t something to do on occasion when life gets tough; it’s a daily practice you can implement to help you navigate the ebbs and flows of daily life. The outcome? A more present, fulfilled and content version of you.
We spoke amongst the team and these were a few of things we each implement to ensure we continually show up for ourselves an ..read more

We love to ‘ritual’ and use the word a lot but have you ever wondered what a truly successful ritual involves and the science behind it?
Yes! There’s some pretty incredible neurological changes that occur during a ritual - there’s a reason why we feel so good having these potent, regular practices.
Symbolic and specific to each individual, a ritual is an intentional act with a deliberate set of actions using various tools to anchor our energy into an intention. The repetition of such ritual, further ..read more

Empathy, kindness, emotional intelligence – these are some great strengths, right? Absolutely.
But when they’re turned up too high, and used in excess, they can become problematic: not being able to disconnect, taking on others’ problems, and reading too much into situations.

We all have strengths, which means we’re all likely to overu ..read more
