From sports and remedial massage therapist, Kate Sheridan:
"My take on creating new healthy habits is to keep it simple and achievable. Have a clear long term goal that you have chosen for your own benefit and enrichment – social, mental, emotional and/or physical – then create a series of small steps to get there. As each step becomes a habit and so easier to do, introduce the next stage. Maybe look for something you already do that you can anchor the new thing to, making it easier to incorporate into your routine. Make it as easy as possible; create the space, put the things you need ready beforehand, don’t overthink.
I also like to have ways of identifying changes/progress, so that we can have a sense of achievement. Also, kindness to ourselves on the days when the new routine just wasn’t going to happen. Slow and steady, building overall consistency that our lives feel happier for."

From our herbalist Sara Furness: I don’t do new year’s resolutions as such but I started the year with an intention to do more art and making, as being creative brings me a great sense of fulfilment and pleasure. This is also a meaningful way for me to explore and express my relationship to the natural world. Im following a lunar path this year, breaking down my intention into monthly chunks, noticing how my energy fluctuates with the waxing and waning of the moon.
As a newly ‘post menopausal’ woman, this my way of continuing to notice a monthly rhythm and my connection to the changes happening in the natural world through the year’s seasonal shifts.
4 tips for keeping new habits going:( I know 3 is the magic number but the last one crept in and felt important!)
1. Start with your values, and let these be the bedrock of your actions…it’s easier to put the time and effort in to new behaviours if we are clear about what they are in the service of.
2. If you are giving up a behaviour, focus on what you want to bring into your life rather than the’not doing’ of the old habit.
3. Preparation is important, give yourself the best possible chance of stepping into a new habit and maintaining it…I had to do some serious de cluttering and tidying to create a small art space in my attic!
4. Stay curious about what trips you up and what supports you in your endeavours, and remember that lapses are a part of change, an opportunity to re orientate ourselves to our valued direction in life and gather ideas and resources to help us continue.

Our herbalist Dr Sue Pitt says "I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. At the start of January we are still in the depths of winter and both energy and mood tend to be at a low point for most people. I much prefer to take my cue from the changing seasons. As we come to the end of February we are beginning to see the optimistic signs of spring – the days are getting longer, the birds are busy and the spring bulbs are bringing a bit of colour to our lives. Now is the time to reset and think about our plans for the year ahead.
It is a good moment to embed a simple habit that will help you through the next winter as well. Take a few moments to make sure you get some natural light first thing. This could mean taking the dog for a walk, making the effort to walk on the school run, sitting outside for your morning coffee or even just standing under an umbrella in the rain for a few minutes.
Try it – you may enjoy it more than you think! If you can’t get outside, then try to sit by the brightest window instead. Our bodies have a natural circadian rhythm which is easily upset during the dark days of winter so we can find ourselves awake at night and sleepy during the day. This simple habit can help to reestablish it. All our other body systems depend on that clock, so it can have a surprising impact on energy and mood."

Herbal consultations are useful to find the root cause of energy loss. Your herbalist will work with you to plan the way forward. We might begin with simple steps such as Vitamin D supplementation, a supportive herbal tea blend and getting outdoors whenever possible. As our much-loved mentor Christopher Hedley used to say to us: ‘Get them eating right, sleeping right, then see what you’re left with!’ Then more subtle adjustments with herbs can replenish body systems and shift the aspects of your life that need adjusting.

More tips from our blog on maximising energy: "Massage therapist Kate Sheridan points out the base of the self-care pyramid for endurance training consists of fuelling, consistency and recovery. “This applies outside of sport too: eating well, sleeping well, and having routines and practices that support us.
When looking at what we need or want to do in life, it’s important to take in the wider view of all the factors affecting us. Is sleep being disrupted? Is work too demanding? Have you been unwell? Are there emotional pressures? Anything that is using up our energy in order to cope affects the ‘battery level’ left for other activities. If we press on regardless we can cope for a short time but then begin to experience symptoms such as fatigue, low mood and health issues.”

Another gem from this month's blog on holistic help for energy from herbalist Sara Furness. "Emotional weariness often indicates we have been spreading ourselves too thin, or life is dealing out tough situations to deal with. Or both.
“There is a season for all things; we are not designed to move through life at full speed, being everything to everyone. We may feel we don’t have enough time and space for activities which nourish us, or simply not do anything in particular, which, like silence in a conversation, can be an opportunity for processing our thoughts and feelings.
Brief pauses through the day can help to slow things down, and reconnect to our ability to deal with what is happening in the moment. Three conscious breaths in and out every hour or so can help; or try shifting your weight from left to right”

From this month's blog on holistic help for energy: "Herbalist Joy Holmes, like many neurodivergent people needs solitude to recharge her batteries. Ideally, this means regular days at home away from screens; so, no working from home on that day. If she doesn’t have the time for a full day off, she will get out for a walk. “I find this needs to become part of my daily routine for about a week then I start to feel the benefit. The stress drains away and just putting one foot in front of the other regulates my emotional health.”
