I’ve been investigating the science of how to feel good for five years now. There are lots of different ways of expressing ‘feeling good’ – I really like satisfaction. Whether it’s happiness, joy, peace or serenity, one thing I’ve learnt is that there is no simple hack to consistently feeling good. Indeed, I would argueContinueContinue reading “And I’m feeling good…”

A.C.T.S
“And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking.” Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to Missy. Missy is my most adorable cat. Just look at her. Awwww!!! I’ve never had a cat before, but it’s interesting how often I look at her behaviour with no idea whyContinueContinue reading “A.C.T.S”

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to Missy. Missy is my most adorable cat. Just look at her. Awwww!!! I’ve never had a cat before, but it’s interesting how often I look at her behaviour with no idea why she does things. More often, I see her eyeing my (relatively normal) human behaviour withContinueContinue reading “And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking…”
Satisfaction
“He’s tellin’ me more and more, About some useless information.” My buzzword for the last few words has been ‘happiness’. I’ve been obsessed with happiness. What it is. How we can get more of it. Why we’re not happier. Why we desire for things that don’t make us happy. My enquiry has taken me throughContinueContinue reading “Satisfaction”
Why Jagger was wrong (sort of…)
My buzzword for the last few words has been ‘happiness’. I’ve been obsessed with happiness. What it is. How we can get more of it. Why we’re not happier. Why we desire for things that don’t make us happy. My enquiry has taken me through neuroscience, psychology and philosophy. Most importantly – especially as a studentContinueContinue reading “Why Jagger was wrong (sort of…)”
Regrets
“For every little thing you hold on to, You’ve got to let something else go.” The Russian invasion in Ukraine has no doubt been at the forefront of all our minds in the last week and we’ll all have been emotionally and mentally affected by it in different ways. I’m sure we’re all feeling aContinueContinue reading “Regrets”
Shoulda Woulda Coulda…
The Russian invasion in Ukraine has no doubt been at the forefront of all our minds in the last week and we’ll all have been emotionally and mentally affected by it in different ways. I’m sure we’re all feeling a profound sadness at the suffering of the individuals whose lives have been turned upside downContinueContinue reading “Shoulda Woulda Coulda…”
About Our Layer of Energy
About Our Layer of Energy I’ve been digging around and working on my own interpretation of the Vedantic concept of the koshas. To read part one (which is probably a good place to start) please click here! Moving deeper into the koshas, beyond the body is Pranamaya kosha. I’m guessing like most people you’ve heardContinueContinue reading “About Our Layer of Energy”
About Peeling Back the Layers
About Peeling Back the Layers I’ve been thinking about the layers that we put over ourselves, the boxes we sit in and the roles that we play. How much of the way you describe yourself is really you? I’ll never forget my first day on my Yoga Foundation course. It was the first time I’dContinueContinue reading “About Peeling Back the Layers”
About Taking A Breath
About Taking A Breath I never want it to sound glib or cheesy but I genuinely feel there are always positives to come from the darkest, scariest situations. Fear, panic, and misinformation seem even more contagious than the virus itself. But so is kindness. Genuinely, scientifically proven. Your act of compassion can cause ripples outContinueContinue reading “About Taking A Breath”
