Excellent article on an excellent website informing women about evidence-based research on normality in birthing,

Look at the effect hormones have on birth.....

This is why we need a calm, quiet, supportive and fear-free atmosphere when women are birthing!

What powerful hormones affect the process of labor and birth? What is the role of oxytocin, endorphins and adrenaline during labor and birth? What steps can you take to help ensure that these hormones work well for you?

This is a fantastic talk on the mind-body connection, please watch!

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an i…

Did you know that having a dog can help reduce stress and help you reach your goals? Two experiments quoted in The Journal of Research in Personality (July) showed that if someone had a pet beside them or even in the room, they were more confident about identifying and achieving their goals and experienced less stress, with lower blood pressure. Even picturing/imagining your pet (dog or cat) can make a difference! So when we collect our new puppy on Sunday, taking our dogs to a total of two..does that mean my confidence and goal achievement will be even higher, twice as high????

Yaktrax are amazing!!! Springy things you pull over your boots for snow and ice, they give you so much grip!! No, I am not on commission, just someone who longs to walk her dog without risking life and limb when the snow melts and freezes over. Can't recommend then enough!!

Today I discovered something! Even although I am a gran and my beautiful granddaughter was the one opening the first door of her advent calendar (so wonderfully significant when there is actually only a tiny piece of chocolate in there!), a very familiar feeling accompanied this. Only 24 more days until Christmas and I haven't yet done....this...this...this..whatever!

This feeling lasts only a few minutes-at first-but does have a tendency to last more and more time, happen more and more frequently, leading up to that day when, if you haven't done it all, the sky will fall.

Or will it? I am so excited that my very first newsletter will be coming out next week. If you are interested, it details how to counteract all of this and enjoy yourself more with a technique which is so similar to something you do every single day of your life.

If you would like to receive a copy of the December Newsletter, please do let me know.

Is there more oxytocin-the hormone of connection- on Arran (island off the west coast of Scotland)? Have just spent a couple of days there. Everyone who came on the bus after us smiled and said hello to the driver and everyone on the bus. Many hands went out to help a woman with a wheeled shopping bag and the driver waited until she had sat down before moving. He also waited patiently until someone coming off the bus exchanged important info with someone getting on the bus. I saw people hugging (I know, but it's true!!!) at the Co-op when saying hello and drivers smiling when allowing people to pass. I know island life is slower paced, but it's the " people connection" which really struck me...
