One of the cheapest and easiest ways to positively impact your psychology and physiology is mindfulness meditation and breathwork.

Previously left to Buddhists and hippies (that's how I stumbled across it 30 years ago), science has caught up and now shows the dramatic benefits these practices can have.

Benefits such as:

- improved decision-making
- increased focus
- enhanced empathy
- better relationship management
- less reactive
- less impulsive
- lower blood pressure
- less headaches and muscle tension
- improved sleep

(see the work of Daniel Coleman, Richard Davidson, Andrew Huberman, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sara Lazar and Amish Jha, and more).

I start every morning with anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes of mindfulness practice + breath practices like 1 minute breaths, box breathing, and others.

I invite you to consider how mindfulness and breathwork could help you in your daily life.

What practices do you currently do?

Which would you like to do more of?

I've got some new followers here (and 3000+ on Linkedin!) Seems like a good time to re-introduce myself!

I....

1. Train & speak on health, wellbeing & performance for teams and leaders across Australia through Sunrise Well, and also have partnerships with incredible organisations like .

I believe that quality education & coaching play a key role in helping lengthen & improve quality of life, connection, and happiness.

2. Was born & raised in outback Qld with Italian migrant grandparents.

3. Have lived & worked in South Korea, Japan & Brazil, as well as Brisbane, Sydney & Canberra.

4. Spent many years learning how to teach, how to facilitate in multi-age, cross-cultural rooms, & how to connect & turn around the dynamics of a group of people (I was called the 'class whisperer' by my Director).

Was also accepted into the Graduate program at the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing & worked in governmental public health before returning to my roots in team & leadership facilitation & training.

5. Have been practicing meditation for 30 years.

6. Love the contrast of evidence-based wellbeing & performance, but also exploring the less measurable aspects of human existence, energy, creative expression, & the subtle body.

7. Have been a health coach for 10 years & won the 2025 HCANZA Awards of Excellence for Business Achievement.

8. I overcame a lot of self-doubt & lack of knowledge to build my business.

I've learned that my biggest obstacle to growth is often myself - so I need to get out of my own way sometimes!

9. Gave CPR to a stranger on the street in Sydney the year I started my business. This experience was the catalyst for my unrelenting determination to impact people's lives with proactive wellbeing strategies because if not now, when?

10. Sunrise Well has been my passion & joy for more than 11 years now, & I can't wait to see what comes next.

11. I send out a newsletter every few weeks with evidence-based health & performance strategies & the latest news.

If you'd like to receive this newsletter, send me a DM with your email address.

I used to push myself a lot more physically, and always got a borderline 6.5-7 hours sleep.

But the sleep research of the last few years is undeniable.

Sleep is one of the most underrated longevity 'hacks' (that word bugs me!) with strong links to:

- good heart health
- delay or prevention of Alzheimer's
- reduction in inflammation and pain
- healthy immune function, and
- adaptive response to stress.

Good sleep helps the body run the way it should.

But I know, from the countless workshop attendees I speak to, that many people sleep less than 7 hours a night.

(🙋 Guilty? Let me know in the comments).

I'm going to be exploring sleep, the physiology of stress, and more in Stress Management 101 with the amazing team at Penske Australia & New Zealand today, delivering in partnership with Medibank - can't wait!

If someone ever tells you they can help you to 'banish cortisol' - run a mile!

Cortisol is not the bad guy, even if it has the reputation of a Hollywood villain in dark glasses 😎

You don't need to get rid of it for good.

In fact, cortisol, when released at the right time for the right reasons, can be exactly what your body needs.

The problem is when cortisol release, through the HPA Axis, is chronically over-activated.

Over time, this over-activation leads to chronic stress, increasing the risk of burnout.

The trick then, is to:
✔️ reduce stress triggers
✔️ learn strategies to manage stress, and
✔️ get the support you need to buffer against stressful events and recover well.

That's what I unpacked yesterday with the Department of Communities WA, delivering my 'Recharge and Reset' workshop in partnership with Medibank.

The ACORN Framework: 5 non-negotiables that will dramatically improve the way you live, work, and play 👇

A - Activity - dedicated exercise, incidental movement, focussing on strength, flexibility, and good HR variability.

C - Connection - a couple of good friends, positive relationships at work, community involvement, these all benefit your emotional and physical health.

O - Outlook - training your mind to be more self aware with mindfulness and focus on the positive with gratitude, awe, and perspective so you can reframe setbacks and stay focussed on the future.

R - Rest - getting enough sleep is one of the hardest for adults to do, but the pay-off is immediate and impactful, and beyond rest, making sure you get downtime and time out during the day is imperative.

N - Nourishment - eating the right foods to fuel your body and mind, to give you sustained energy throughout the day and the right setup to rest well at night.

Most people are doing one or two of these well, and neglecting one or two of them completely.

Which ones are they for you?

👋 I'm Ruth Kent founder of Sunrise Well.

I bring evidence-backed performance, health and wellbeing support to teams and leaders through training, coaching, and consulting.

What does self-care even really mean?

'Self-care' either:

A. Gets a really bad rap in general, complete with eye rolls.

Or

B. Gets mixed up with massages and bubble baths.

(I love both of these, but self-care goes way beyond that!)

When we think of leaders practicing self-care, the message I want to get out there is that:

Self-care = sustainability

If you want to be effective, healthy, and lead well in the long-term, having a systematic, evidence-based self-care toolkit is essential.

What's in your self-care toolkit?

Absolutely loved today's session with sharing 'Empowering Leaders with Self-Care, in partnership with .

I get to see the world anew from my children's eyes.

What strikes me is the seesaw of feelings they have as they grow older and try to understand the life and world they're inheriting.

The beauty and the pain of life itself, so beautifully described as 'life is suffering' in Buddhism.

The way the world around us rises to make humanity thrive or crumble.

The overwhelming burden they have to learn their own emotions, and the carving out of their story in a world of instability and suffering....and how to find peace, joy and presence within that.

On World Mental Health day yesterday I reflected on how far we've come.

But also recognise the challenge we have ahead to help adults learn how to help themselves.

So they can, in turn, teach their own children how to adapt.

The work is going well. Better than before in many ways. And we are uniting across sectors to promote wellbeing and mental health.

But it's only the beginning.

And my small piece is to educate and empower the adults who can take on this challenge so we can hope for a longer, healthier and happier future for all.

And yes, the little things count. Because it all counts.

So if you're doing this work too - keep going.

Because what you do matters.

Most people don't realise that they're not breathing well and they don't experience the knock-on effect that can have on their wellbeing, relationships, and quality of life.

I had such amazing feedback from the team at The Perth Mint today when we unpacked the mechanics and practices of breathing to reduce stress.

If only more people had these tools in their back pockets to enable them to take action before stress gets out of hand.

With comments like 'superb' 'excellent' and 'life-changing', you know that these techniques have real impact.
