HI love I usually write giving you wellness tips, 3 tips for gut health and that kind of thing, but I was thinking that although those emails can be helpful, the emails, podcasts and content I really love is when people share what’s actually happening with them. Im not planning to turn this blog into some kind of a self involved journal, I’ve got enough of those in my bedside drawer ☺️ but I thought that this week, for a change, I’d share something I’m personally struggling withand what I’m trying to do about it.

I try to avoid being too restrictive or controlling around food so I’m fairly relaxed and have learnt to trust myself to eat what I fancy, but if I have time I do like to make some...

So I’ve given up on trying to commit to a regular fitness class. With the exception of African dancing which I do with my daughter and feels more like a fun, moving meditation I’ve stopped wasting my money on regular fitness classes.   I say wasting money, not because the classes I’ve done in the past haven’t been good but because as soon as I sign up for a block of 12 classes in whatever exercise it is, there’s something in me that starts trying to get out of it.   At the grand age of 42 I’ve finally realised that the issue is that I’m a Vata and I’ve been trying to act like a Kapha when it comes...
