According to positive psychology, celebrating your achievements -even small ones- plays a key role in boosting wellbeing and motivation. Research shows that acknowledging progress helps reinforce positive emotions, builds self-efficacy and strengthens resilience. It trains your brain to focus on what’s working, which over time increases optimism and overall life satisfaction. It’s important to remember that taking time to celebrate isn’t self-indulgent -it’s scientifically backed self-care.

Too often we rush past our progress without stopping to recognise or appreciate it. This quote from well-being expert Shawn Achor reminds us that celebrating small wins is a powerful form of self-care. Taking time to acknowledge even the tiniest steps forward keeps us motivated, builds confidence and boosts overall well-being. So pause, smile and give yourself credit -you’re doing better than you think.

Following on from my blog post about how getting into nature is a super well-being activity, I thought I’d share a video I made of our family summer in the beautiful UK countryside last year. I sometimes watch it just to relax and soak in all that stunning greenery and magical scenes!

Just a little reminder that true abundance isn’t just about money or success -it’s about feeling fulfilled, aligned, and joyful in how you live each day. When you regularly make time for the things that light you up, you invite more energy, clarity, and purpose into your life. Whether it’s a creative hobby, spending time in nature or attending wellbeing events that inspire you, honouring what you love isn’t selfish — it’s essential. Start small, but start now -your happiness grows from those choices.

I made a little video of my laid-back Sunday, attending LivingWell festival in Shrewsbury, and I'd be delighted if you could watch it! This free, family-friendly event featured over 100 stalls showcasing holistic wellbeing practices, ethical brands, handmade items and mindful living tools. It offered a vibrant community atmosphere where visitors enjoyed expert-led talks and workshops that provided fresh insights into physical, mental and spiritual balance. It was truly a beautiful experience of self-care, connection and exploration -exactly what a summer wellbeing gathering should be!

It’s important to remember that joy, creativity and rest are valuable in themselves, not just distractions from productivity. This quote came to mind when I attended the in Shrewsbury yesterday and I’ll be writing a blog post about it shortly!

Our latest blog post details why getting into nature is a Super Well-being Activity that’s loaded with mental and physical health benefits!

Many years ago, when I read Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, of all his wise insights, something in particular stuck with me. When outlining The Law of Pure Potentiality, Chopra describes how our essential nature is pure consciousness, and he encourages connecting with this inner s...

Healing often begins outside of the walls of our daily routines. Spending time in nature helps us to slow down and reconnect with the present moment.

A recent new analysis of meta studies has found that exercise is more beneficial for conditions like anxiety and depression than standard psychotherapy or medications and that all forms of exercise produce significant health benefits. When you’re feeling low, the last thing you probably want to do is get active. But if you can push through the initial feeling of resistance, you’ll soon be experiencing the benefits of those endorphins. That boost will make it more appealing to do again, and again, until it becomes a crucial part of your daily routine!

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for improving mental health. Physical activity releases endorphins, which help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression while boosting your overall mood. It provides a natural way to relieve tension, promoting relaxation and mental clarity. So finding a way to incorporate regular exercise into your daily routine can have a profound effect on your outlook.
