As a massage therapist I see a lot of people with a lot of stress and tension in their bodies. Give your body the love that it deserves. Eat well, sleep well, exercise often and allow yourself permission to relax and recharge.

Feeling sluggish? My best tip is to move. You don’t have to do a full on HIIT class, but a jog or even just a walk will revive you. You may not feel like it at the time, but you can overrule your brain. As they say - you never ever regret a workout.

A simple tool to help you manage a busy mind starts with a phrase "If in doubt, breathe it out”. Breathe in through your nose for 5, hold your breath for 5 and breathe out though your mouth for 10 and feel your body and mind unwind.

You may spend a lot of time in life looking after other people. But how often do you take time out for yourself. Even 10 mins a day can make an enormous difference to your wellness. Today, prioritise self-care. It’ll make a world of difference.

Recognise that rest is not wasted time. It is an investment in your wellbeing. Listen to your body and take time to rest when you need it.

Our bodies need time to rest and recover. As well as massage therapies, taking a hot bath and allowing your muscles to soak can be hugely beneficial. Baths can reduce muscle aches and tension and they can even improve your sleep quality.

I have a bath many nights of the week and it’s where I switch off and can be on my own without anyone shouting for mummy. I fill it with amazing smelling products and drink cups of tea. There’s something about being immersed in water, it’s like a warm inviting hug - it’s like a sensorial therapy!

How you breathe affects the way you feel and how you feel affects the way you breathe. If you control your breath your mind will follow. Set aside 1 minute each day to take a break and deepen your breath to help you find balance.

If you ever feel like your mind’s going at a million miles an hour - too many thoughts, too many worries, too many things to do. Pause. You don’t have to engage with your thoughts. Remember you can observe them, watch them, don’t over engage. This will bring you back to your place of ease and comfort. Pause.

Make time to wind down before bed to help you sleep. Switch off tech and screens and have a bath or read a book or just chat about your day with a loved one.
