Just listened to this episode talking about rest, sleep and a nod to the benefits of cold water swimming (just had my morning dip ❄️❄️) I love the idea of thinking about November as a cosy cocoon rather than a bleak depressing month (but then it's my birthday month too 😁) 💙

Dr Lucy Maddox shares practical advice from her experience as a clinical psychologist.

This is why new born babies (big babies and even bigger grown up babies) calm so well to touch. We are still just cave people with Instagram (got that from a podcast I follow and love it!! 🤣 )

THIS!!!! The number of times I hear 'my back is rubbish, my knees are 💩, my *insert body part here* is useless 😔
NO!!! It's not! Would you say my car is 💩 when it grinds to a halt cos you didn't put fuel in it? Do you curse and swear at it when you need a new tyre? (Ok maybe at the cost but you get the jist)
Your body is AMAZING 😍 it's doing the best with what you're giving it right now and is still functioning after all the abuse you have given it over the last 20/30/40 years.
Take action to help yourself and talk nicely to yourself, words have consequences.... Especially the self talk ones 😘💚

Your body isn’t broken

This is inspired by a conversation I had with a new client when they mentioned that they felt like s**t and that their fat & tired body was broken and needed to be traded in

🤔

It’s not broken

It’s just had enough of being treated like s**t for 20+ years.

You drank too much, ate whatever, neglected training, hardly moved…

and after all that it’s still going

That’s not broken that’s a resilient body doing its best with what’s it’s given

If you have no major health problems and or pain and your body’s still going after the way you’ve treated it?

That’s a gift

But it won’t last forever

Now it’s time to give back.

Start fuelling it better

Start moving with purpose

Start looking after it like it’s been looking after you

You don’t need a new body

You need to stop taking the p**s with the one you’ve got

Don’t get old, Get Old Skool

I am definitely signing up for a run with Charlotte Foster of Unhurried Running because she is a wonderful human and will be ace as a coach! Can't imagine I'd run very far for laughing though! 🤣

🙏🏻🌈❤️💚 As long as the weather stays Balloon Friendly we're good to go 🙂

Hello everyone,

You will all be aware of the fire at St Martins School which was widely reported and spread across the local media. The fire has obviously caused a fair amount of damage.

This evening we are planning a mass Rainbow Hot Air Balloon launch from The Keys Pub in St Martins at around 5pm.
There will be volunteers with buckets where you can make donations, with ALL donations going to St Martins School.

Please park sensibly, there is very limited amount of parking areas so we ask you to be mindful and respectful.

We hope to see you at the keys in St Martins to help us raise funds for the school. Go Fund me 👉🏻 https://gofund.me/b59accc09

What a gorgeous way to start the weekend and celebrate the Equinox on Monday ☀️🌕♎
Some relaxation, gentle movement and mantras to bring us back into balance. I love how the concepts of yoga align so beautifully with Biodynamic Osteopathy.... Settling to neutral, finding balance around your midline and using the breath to create a change in the body.
Feel like I'm going to float through the day now 🥰💚🙏🏻
(Jilly has space on the next two Seasonal Yoga sessions if you'd like to join 🥰)

Good morning!! Apologies for the radio silence, it's been a busy busy couple of months with work and play! First day today of normal work days for myself and hubby so I'm back on the podcasts and after listening to this really looking forward to my walk to work, wind and all!
Let me know if you get out for a walk today 🚶🏼‍♀️🌧️🌳💚

Mindful walking is a science-backed way to reduce stress, focus better, and enjoy nature.
