👣Come Walk With Me 👣

Over Christmas, I spent time in Devon, in the village of Appledore - a place full of colourful cottages, cobbled streets, and the most gorgeous crocheted creatures.

I’ve always loved this time of year, but lately I’ve felt a little disconnected from the over-commercialism that often comes with it. For me (and I know this might sound a little cliché), it wasn’t about gifts.

✨It was about time.
✨Being included.
✨Feeling a sense of belonging.

Time with my children.

🍿Magical moments like watching our favourite Christmas film together curled up on the sofa.
😋Sharing yummy food.
😂Laughing until we cried while playing games.

And it made me wonder…
Why do we save this way of being for once a year?
Why not be kinder, more inclusive, and more generous with our time more often?

Maybe that’s the real magic worth carrying forward.

🌿 What small moments bring this kind of magic into your life?

Here’s a question for you 👇

Are you hoping to achieve consistent habits that actually stick?

Habit tracking may be the missing piece!

When your habits live only in your head, it’s easy to:
-lose focus
-fall into all-or-nothing thinking
-feel frustrated when things don't go to plan.

📝Writing them down, checking in daily, and reflecting creates clarity, accountability, and momentum without pressure or overwhelm.

Are you ready to build sustainable habits so you no longer feel stuck, inconsistent, or frustrated with starting over?

Let’s make it happen!

👉 Start today with our Habit Trackers, simple supportive digital tools designed to help you stay consistent in real life.

💪Deano's Deep Dive: New Year Reset

A reset at the start of the new year need not feel like a dramatic overhaul, but rather a gentle realignment of internal rhythms with behaviours that support wellbeing.

🥱After months of accumulated habits such as late nights, rushed meals, and quiet stress, our body often asks not for more effort, but for less interference. We need to realise that resetting requires an act of listening rather than doing, which, for most of us, is perhaps the opposite of what we think we need.

✨The idea of a reset shifts attention away from ambition and back toward awareness. Sleep, digestion, mood, and energy are all offering constant feedback, but we often allow these signals to be ignored until they begin to falter.

⏸️ The new year provides a natural pause that gives us a chance to simplify rather than add:

-Fewer foods, eaten with more care
-Movement that restores instead of exhausts
-Time outside
-Time away from constant stimulation

🌱Small resets like these allow our nervous system to settle and recalibrate. The caveat to understand is that you are not asking for perfection, but merely consistency. Health and wellbeing tend to respond best to rhythm rather than intensity such as:

- regular meals,
-regular rest, and
-regular moments of “chill.”

When we allow these patterns to return, the body often follows without resistance.

⚖️Our body already knows what balance feels like. The work of the new year is simply to remove enough noise for that knowledge to surface again, in a quiet and steady fashion—until wellbeing stops feeling like a goal and begins to feel like home.

💪Deano's Deep Dive: What is Resilience?

Resilience, I’m learning, isn’t loud. It’s not an exciting 'new me' announcement or a burst of motivation that suddenly fixes everything. Most of the time it’s a barely noticeable choice that we make to ourselves, more a small choice made quietly. For me, its:

👟Getting my gym gear ready for the next morning even when I’m tired
🥩Cooking the meal that supports me instead of the one that distracts (and ultimately derails) me
✔️Showing up for myself when no one else would even know the difference.

I used to think that discipline lived in the exciting beginning of a new diet or training plan, the time when everything feels fresh and possible. But the truth is, real change doesn’t happen there. It happens later, in the middle, when the novelty has worn off and it’s just me and my intentions.

Some days I get it right, and some days everything unravels and the wheels seem to fall off. I used to take the unravelling as a failure but now it seems that I’m realising that the comeback is the real marker of progress.

Every time I return after slipping I feel a small shift, almost like I’m rebuilding trust between my mind and my body. Little by little the gym has stopped feeling like punishment and is more a reward to my body as I am seeing and feeling results and eating well does not feel as though it is life lived with rules. They’re becoming ways I look after myself — ways I show up, quietly, over and over again.

And maybe that’s what resilience really is: not perfection, not force… just choosing yourself again.

Deano

📚Book Review: Terrain Therapy by Dr Ulric Williams, foreword by Dr Sam Bailey
🔍 Terrain Therapy reads less like a modern health manual and more like a quiet return to an older conversation we seem to have forgotten. Dr Ulric Williams invites the reader to step away from the idea of the body as a machine that breaks down and toward an understanding of health as something that emerges when the internal environment is allowed to find its own balance. Disease, in this framing, is not an invader to be fought but a message to be listened to.
💡 Why We Recommend It: The book unfolds patiently, weaving together nutrition, fasting, lifestyle practices, and reflection.
📘 Main Takeaway: Whole foods, rest, sunlight, thought, and intention are presented not as trends but as foundations.
🙌 Perfect For: for readers who feel uneasy with quick fixes and symptom-chasing, and who are willing to slow down, question conventional health narratives, and explore the idea that the body’s capacity to heal may depend more on its internal terrain than on external interventions

👣 Come Walk With Me 👣

Even city walks are a great way to renew! In July, I took time to explore the stunning, historic streets of Oxford, UK. 🏛️

While we often focus on nature, these urban adventures offer a different kind of joy: the chance to slow down, disconnect from your own thoughts, and notice the small delights - the architecture, a hidden courtyard, or a beautiful door - that surround us every day.

Being present matters, no matter the backdrop 😊
