Whether you’re relaxing in the garden or on your way to work, try listening out for birdsong, look for bees and butterflies, or notice the movement of the clouds.

I don't know about you but I am really feeling quite stripped bare at the moment. Living through another lockdown is hard when you have lost your freedom to do the simple things which you love to do. It can be so quiet and lonely without that physical connection.

Things go so well for so long and then all of a sudden that black cloud descends. Its funny how quickly things can change and that smile seems a million miles away. Accepting that we always need that nourishment, the rain and the sunshine. We need it just as much when our petals are falling.

Are you one of those people who strives to be perfect? Whether it's parenting, at work, in the home, in relationships or even on Instagram or Facebook? We keep our standards so high and expect nothing less of ourselves than perfection. How much hard work is it to portray that image, how exhausting is it? You are not necessarily doing this to impress others but to prove to yourself that you that have everything under control and you are the perfect parent, perfect colleague, have the perfect house, live the perfect life!
