A recent review found that mindfulness improves sleep quality in successful but stressed adults.

I was reading the study where the people participating experienced much longer sleep and binned their sleep medication!

When life feels demanding, sleep is often the first thing to suffer. Many of my clients assumed the answer was in forcing better habits or trying harder to switch off.

Instead we calm the nervous system and reduce mental load, creating conditions where sleep is able to settle naturally.

This is huge because it moves the body out of constant alert.

When mindfulness is applied with an understanding of sleep, stress and how the nervous system works, the benefits go far beyond feeling calm in the moment. It supports deeper rest, better recovery and drastically improved performance even when life becomes busy.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is seeing how small, steady shifts add up over time.

When someone feels more grounded in their mindset, better able to manage stress and more confident in how they show up at work and in life, it rarely comes from one big breakthrough.

Learn how to regulate pressure, respond rather than react and build habits that support wellbeing instead of draining it..

My goal is to help strengthen mindset, manage stress more effectively and create a way of working and living that feels healthier and more sustainable ๐Ÿ’œ

Self Doubt isnโ€™t a flaw, itโ€™s a safety response.

It's there when something feels unfamiliar or risky, even if that step forward matters to you. The goal isnโ€™t to get rid of it, but to recognise it and not let it make decisions on your behalf ๐Ÿ’œ

If youโ€™re doing everything right for sleep and itโ€™s still not working, this might be why.

Most people respond to bad sleep by trying to control it. Earlier bedtimes. Tracking every night. Watching the clock. Mentally reviewing what went wrong and what to fix tomorrow.

I see this constantly in my sleep and insomnia work. Not because people are failing, but because effort increases alertness and alertness blocks sleep.

Hereโ€™s the shift most people miss: Sleep doesnโ€™t improve when you try harder. It improves when the nervous system feels safe enough to let go.

Thatโ€™s why doing more often keeps your sleep stuck. More monitoring. More pressure. More rules. All of it quietly tells the body to stay on guard.

When people stop chasing perfect sleep and start understanding how sleep actually works, the system settles naturally. No forcing. No overcorrecting. No fighting the night.

Contact me if you need to take the pressure off.

If your sleep hasnโ€™t returned to normal since Christmas, it might not be a phase.

Many people expect things to settle once January starts, but disrupted sleep becomes the new pattern. The harder you try to fix it, the more frustrating it gets.

I see this every year in my sleep and insomnia work. There is a way to guide sleep back without forcing, tracking obsessively or overcorrecting. It starts with understanding whatโ€™s actually keeping it stuck.

If your sleep still feels off and youโ€™re wondering why it hasnโ€™t bounced back, read on or contact me directly:

I was reading a Google study (they seem to have more data than anyone, based on searches!) and they say that now, a lot of people are no longer motivated by distant goals.

This makes sense.

When life feels uncertain, the nervous system looks for something it can control. Thatโ€™s why people are focusing less on โ€œWhere will I be in five yearsโ€ and more on โ€œHow do I feel today?โ€

It's not about being short sighted. Itโ€™s about finding stability in the present when the future feels unpredictable.

Better sleep tonight...
Feeling calmer this week...
One small habit that makes today easier...

These smaller, more immediate moments matter. They give people a sense of progress they can actually feel, and thatโ€™s often what restores hope and motivation naturally.

Lots of our work focuses on helping people feel steadier, clearer and more supported now ...because thatโ€™s where real change begins ๐Ÿ’œ

Christmas and New Year disrupt our routines more than we realise. Later nights, socialising, alcohol and time off quickly shift sleep patterns.

Sometimes those changes stop being short term and start to feel normal.

The body adapts quickly, but reversing those patterns can take longer than people expect.

Thatโ€™s why January sleep can feel frustrating, especially when you thought things would settle once you got back to normal.

With sleep and insomnia work, I help people understand what has shifted, what is quietly maintaining the problem and how to guide sleep back into a healthier rhythm without forcing it or overcorrecting.

Sleep improves best when the nervous system feels safe and settled, not pressured.

If your sleep still feels out of sync as the New Year begins and youโ€™d like support to reset it, Iโ€™m happy to chat.

This time of year often invites reflection, on what weโ€™ve navigated, what weโ€™ve learned and how weโ€™ve grown. For many, itโ€™s been a year of challenge, change and quiet resilience.

Whether youโ€™re ending the year feeling proud, tired, hopeful or somewhere in between, I hope the festive period gives you space to rest, reset and reconnect with yourself and with what matters most.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, followed, worked with or simply engaged with Precision this year. Itโ€™s been a privilege to support people with their wellbeing, mindset and performance.

Hereโ€™s to a New Year that brings clarity, balance, steady progress and Gingerbread Lattes!

Emotion plays a huge role in how we respond when the pressure is on.

The first step is awareness. Being able to notice and name what youโ€™re feeling instead of being driven by it automatically. That emotional literacy gives you choice.

From there comes emotional regulation, then facilitation ...learning how to use what you feel to support your performance rather than fight against it ๐Ÿ’ช
