For some reason society has taught us to totally undervalue rest. We grew up in a world where “doing more” meant being better. Working longer hours equalled more success, looking busy was more important than whatever it was you were actually doing. Let alone looking after yourself. Sleep was seen as something to try and need less of, rather than one of the most valuable things to our physical and mental health, especially our focus…
I’ve always been one of those people with a naturally busy mind that finds it hard to switch off. Brimming with ideas, sparking with excitement, always looking for the next thing to do. In a lot of ways it’s great. I mean, it’s what gives me drive, passion, the urge to explore… But over the years I’ve definitely had to learn how to deal with it.

I’m not going to lie, it’s been pretty hard work. Sometimes it’s been lonely, sometimes it’s been tough, but what I’ve got out of it has been so worth it. I didn’t realise how lost I was until I started…
Yoga Pants & Hoodie – Asquith* / Trainers – New Balance* So I got sent a press release the other day about how many calories we’re all going to eat on Christmas Day. I know right?!
