Barrow Sauna. I think I’m hooked! Fabulous amenity on my doorstep. The cold plunging is optional, but I highly recommend it. Solo or in good company, surrounded by forest and the sound of the rushing stream - that’s my idea of heaven. I come away restored, refreshed and revitalised.

In an instant gratification society it’s always tempting to choose the quick fix. But a lot of these fixes or hits are hugely detrimental to our mental and physical health. The best dopamine hits (like those listed on the bottom half of this graphic) also have a much longer-lasting positive impact on us. I can definitely attest to the dopamine hit of cold water immersion!

Finally got to try out Barrow Sauna at Glenbarrow yesterday evening. Much easier to brave the cold barrel plunges with the lovely hot tub on hand! Absolutely loved it. Felt energised and fully alert for the first time in a long time! Adding to my self care go to list 🤗

Blue Monday? Honestly, it’s the first Monday this month I’ve felt positive!🙃 If you are feeling a bit low, do something nice for yourself today. Call a friend, visit family, make something comforting for dinner, go to the cinema, stay in and read, journal about your plans for the year ahead, wrap up cosy, or have an early night. We’re already over halfway through January. It feels like it’s going to be another fast year. Take time to breathe and reflect 💙

What a lovely thought ❤️

Planning on making personal changes this year? It’s probably best to focus on your mindset first. Try putting a self compassionate spin on things:

‘I’m not allowed any junk food’ ➡️ ‘I want to make healthier choices more often’

‘I’m not tolerating toxic people’ ➡️’I’d like to work on my boundaries with people I find challenging’

‘I need to get fit quick’
➡️ ‘I’m going to move my body more each day and find physical activities I enjoy’

Same goals, different approach. New Year’s resolutions don’t have be be punishing or critical. You’re more likely to succeed with an encouraging attitude.

Oh, and finally:
‘I need to prioritise myself and practise self care’ ➡️Don’t change this one! 🤗

Wishing one and all a fresh start and a positive outlook for the brand new year ❤️
