Instead of trying to guilt or scare people into change, what if I just shared my story? The why, how, and what of my journey from meat enthusiast to full-blown vegan. Maybe, just maybe, it will inspire you to give Veganuary a go.
What strikes me is how impersonal our New Year’s resolutions are. If almost half of us have the same resolutions, then they say little about us as individuals. No wonder I have failed to stick to many resolutions, they are not mine, I haven’t thought of them myself, they lack any true Scarlett flair.
How could everyone have the same high potential in a world with so much inequality. So many outward signs of successful lives and careers screamed that some people have it and other people don’t. The outside world is quick to show the very clear and very real differences between who can and who can’t. But appearances can be very deceptive…
What would you say if I told you that mastering your breath could be the key to unlocking your health, fitness, mental wellbeing and generally enjoying a longer, happier, more vibrant life?
Considering that the primary purpose of language is for humans to communicate our thoughts, feelings, intentions and needs with one another, why is it so difficult for us to say what we mean?
Have you ever had days that start off really well – you feel alive, energetic, the sun is shining and then suddenly, out of no-where and without any new external event, you don’t feel so good? I’ve had plenty. So, I set myself the challenge of trying to understand when and why my feelings u-turn like this for no apparent reason.
This week’s blog explores a mindset that’s rather close to my heart, the most socially acceptable flaw and thief of all my happiness and time; perfectionism!
For once, I hope that this blog will put you to sleep. We’re talking about sleep as a superpower. Pop those pyjamas on, snuggle down with a warm (caffeine-free) drink of your choice and let’s get proper cosy, ‘cause honestly, this might change your life.
Yes, some of us are incredibly academically smart – sometimes to a fault when it comes to social skills – but others have abilities which can make us just as successful in the workplace because we are able to demonstrate emotional intelligence. Specifically, but not exclusively, we’re talking about perceiving, using, understanding and managing emotions.
With Stress Awareness Month nearly over and being in the middle of moving house (widely recognised as one of the top stressful experiences) I wanted to explore ways we can recognise and deal with stress especially when dealing with change or life challenges…
Does the language we speak shape our reality? The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein famously proposed that if a lion could speak, we would lack the common experience to understand it. Its perspective would be too far removed from ours for human language to allow the lion to express itself.
Women’s stories are all too often left out of history books, which is why, when I was scrolling through our Inclusion Calendar for March, Women’s History Month seemed like the perfect subject to dive into…
Have you heard the phrase: ‘You can’t pour from an empty cup’? This bit of wisdom was unknown to me until about six years ago. It’s astonishing how we often find ourselves spinning multiple plates and yet, the thought of pausing for a breath seems almost indulgent…
When you think about it, it’s actually quite strange that new year’s resolutions exist at all. We change so much over the course of 12 months, why would we set ourselves just one goal for a whole year?
The rise of coworking spaces isn’t surprising, given the shift in work culture. They’ve come to the forefront, especially as many people report feeling more accomplished and connected in these environments. Let’s dive in and find out why people thrive in coworking spaces.
