It’s time to get outside. It’s time to get out of our built structures and connect with Nature. It’s time to peel ourselves away from our screens and spend time in the great outdoors. Why? Because we spend about 90% of our time inside and sadly we are averaging...
People are more anxious and stressed out than ever before. Polls say so, research says so and I say “Stress is the number one thing that underlies poor health and poor quality of life”. Not many patients and students I see are immune to the stress of modern life, and...
A saying that was floating around in personal development circles a while back was “If you know 10% more than the average person you are an expert”. I can safely say I never subscribed to that one! This morning one of my lovely, local coffee baristas, handed me my...
