IN GENERAL, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO ACHIEVE THIS YEAR? “I’m looking to stop being so hard on myself. Sometimes, we set ourselves up for a fall, with: ‘Oh I’ve got to quit this, and I really shouldn’t be doing that anymore’. I’m trying to concentrate on the little things, like waking up each day and feeling grateful, or trying to have a more optimistic outlook. Small changes are the easiest to achieve and they can make a big difference.”
CAN YOU SHARE SOME TIPS ON HOW PEOPLE CAN BE MORE MINDFUL? “Mindfulness is all about little changes. Tere’s no climbing a mountain or instantly taking a great leap. All good changes are small ones. Tere can be big life-changing impactful moments, like going travelling, or having a baby, but the ones that we make conscious decisions on each day are small. “Incremental steps are best to feel
calmer, happier, more grounded and content. Each day just taking stock, taking a personal inventory, looking around you, appreciating the simple things, having gratitude. It’s tiny little things that add up to make a whole, but also that are going to last you the long run.”
WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE NEED TO BE MORE MINDFUL AND CONSCIOUS OF THEIR WELLBEING? “In the modern world, with so much confusion and complication, many of us are going back to basics. Tis means simple acts like getting outside, getting air, appreciating colours, how we feel in the moment and our reaction to things around us. “When we’re staring at our phones, we forget to see the blue of the sky, the sunlight hitting the pavement and even the colour on the walls. It’s so obvious, but something so many of us overlook.”
