there is huge potential for large changes through to your twenties,

and neuroplasticity is still changing throughout one’s life.

The myelin sheath that covers your neural pathways gets thicker

and stronger the more it is used (think of the plastic protective

covering on wires); the more a pathway is used, the

stronger the myelin and the faster the neural

pathway. Simply put, when you practice feeling

grateful, you notice more things to be grateful for.


UPLIFTING STORIES


UPLIFTING STORIES


NEED A BIT OF

Well, here’s some good news stories from around the world that will help to brighten your day.

We've rounded up the most heartwarming and inspirational good news stories from across the globe.

NETHERLANDS

Airport pigs help keep the skies safe:

They didn’t get badges or uniforms, but they did receive a generous

meal allowance. Near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, 20

pigs joined a six-week pilot program designed to reduce the

number of goose strikes at the busy international hub. The pigs

were allowed to settle in a two-hectare sugar-beet field between

two of the airport’s runways. The hope was they’d eat up any

plant life that appeals to geese and, by their presence, would

intimidate other birds in the area, too.

Collisions between birds and aircraft are a nagging problem in

aviation—in 2020, there were 150 avian strikes at Schiphol—

and these incidents can have serious consequences. Fortunately,

the pig patrol appears to have been a success: no bird strikes

were recorded during their stay. The airport is currently assessing

whether to make the pigs a permanent feature of its overall

safety program. —By Flannery Dean

PHILIPPINES

The nurses who saved 35 newborns from

a fire:

Last May, during a fire at the Philippine

General Hospital in Manila, two nurses

made sure no one was left behind

in their fourth floor neonatal intensive

care unit. Kathrina Bianca Macababbad

was bathing one of the unit’s babies

just after midnight when she heard that

a fire had broken out on the floor below.

As the flames raged, she and fellow

nurse Jomar Mallari made multiple

trips in and out of the building with

their charges. The biggest challenge was

rescuing premature babies who were

intubated and dependent on ventilators

to breathe. Holding the babies in one

arm while manually ventilating them

with the other hand, the nurses managed

to get all 35 of their tiny patients

to safety. —By Flannery Dean

CANADA

The businessman who donated an island:

There are few things rarer than pristine wilderness. This is true in Canada, which

according to Global Forest Watch ranks third in the world for forest cover loss. It’s

what makes the recent donation of a forested island within a freshwater glacial lake

in Quebec so worthy of celebration.

Last fall, Montreal businessman Andrew Howick donated 26 hectares—the equivalent

of 24 soccer fields—of richly forested Molson Island to the Nature Conservancy

of Canada. He first began buying up parts of the island in the 1990s as a way of protecting

aquatic birds and rare, diverse plant life. The donation of the island—made

possible by tax incentives for such land donations—means it will escape development

and thrive for decades to come. —By Flannery Dean

ENGLAND

Restocking the wardrobes of female refugees:

Poverty brings with it many challenges, not the least of which can be the strain of sorting

through clothing donation bins, on a mission to find the right-sized wardrobes

for you and your family. Believing that female refugees deserve more than a bag of

random castoffs, Sol Escobar, a Cambridge educator and a volunteer at migrant refugee

camps, had a novel solution. In 2020, she created Give Your Best, an online “shopping”

site that allows women to choose from an array of donated clothing posted by

volunteers. All of the clothing is free and can be “shopped” on the site’s Instagram

page. Once selected, the items are shipped for free within the United Kingdom. Since

its launch, more than 700 women seeking asylum or with precarious immigration

status have claimed 7,500 items. —By Flannery Dean

SWEDEN

Greening the steel industry with

renewable energy:

One Swedish steel company has

figured out how to make steel without

coal. Stockholm’s SSAB recently

announced that it has produced

the world’s first fossil fuel–free

steel, using hydrogen and electricity

from renewable energy sources.

Automakers Volvo and Mercedes-

Benz have signed up for the first

deliveries, and SSAB hopes to be

able to produce the steel on an

industrial scale by 2026. —By Anna-Kaisa

SPAIN

Ditch your car, get free transit:

The push is on around the globe

to reduce harmful greenhouse gas

emissions and break our collective

reliance on fossil fuels. To encourage

greener forms of getting around, many

countries are offering rebates on electric

cars. The city of Barcelona, however, is

offering up a trade: lose the gas guzzler

and ride public transit for free. People

who trade in or get rid of cars that don’t

meet environmental specs are given a

free transit pass that lasts for three years.

The approach isn’t just environmentally

sound, it’s cost-effective for residents.

And it may significantly reduce the stress

of car ownership, too. —By Flannery

Dean

ITALY

Fighting hate with art:

The number of reported hate crimes has

steadily increased in Italy since 2014, fuelled

by incendiary populist politicians reacting to

an influx of refugees and migrants. In Verona,

Pier Paolo Spinazze, a street artist who goes

by the name Cibo (Italian for “food”), is being

celebrated for his creative countermeasures.

“Verona is beautiful,” says Spinazze, “but it

has a big problem with the far right.” Whenever

he encounters swastikas and other racist

graffiti, he paints over them with colourful

depictions of his favourite foodstuffs, from

cupcakes to pizza.

His art has two positive effects. The extremists

often spray-paint over Spinazze’s cheerful

food pictures, but he simply re-paints over

their hateful messages again, and they usually

give up. The other positive improvement:

his paintings are awakening Verona’s citizens

to the seriousness of the problem. “Before

I started this, people were so used to seeing

those messages, they didn’t really see them at

all. Now people start to see and understand.”

To Spinazze, food is a natural corrective to

hate. It represents a language that connects

people and cultures. “Food is about union and

sharing,” he says. “We are all equal around a

table—everybody eats.” —By Flannery Dean

Medit

THE PRAC

As a Professional Relaxation Therapist and Psychotherapist, I use a

lot of meditation techniques with my clients during their treatment.

I am a firm advocate of meditation as a tool because it is something

that everyone can learn regardless of age and ability, it is easily

practised anywhere (once you learn the techniques) – but most of

all, it doesn’t cost you anything but your time.

Where did meditation begin ?

Meditation has evolved over time and archaeologist

have discovered evidence of

it’s practice back as early as 5000 BCE in

many different religions. However,

our modern view of meditative

practices is most commonly associated

with the Buddhist religion

and it is considered a definite

Eastern philosophy. I would

stress that meditation should

never be viewed as belonging

to any religion nor does it

require spiritual belief, it is a

technique that develops personal

awareness and is designed to

help the user achieve a more peaceful

state of mind.

In reality, meditation is a mental exercise which has become the

basis for many other types of mindfulness. It allows us to focus

on an object, sound or purely our own mental status. It could be

described as that point where the mind ceases to be conscious

of everyday thought and can be compared with hypnotic trance

or the ‘zone’ of creativity which we all become aware of at

some point in our life. Whether it be referred

to as ‘day dreaming’ or when you are so absorbed

in producing something creative or

solving a problem – that the clock continues

to move and you are suddenly surprised

when you realise you’ve spent two hours

thinking about nothing but the task you are

undertaking.

The benefits of meditation

It is scientifically acknowledged that meditation

brings the practitioner peace

and rests the mind. A session meditating

can calms you, reduces

overthinking and allows the

nervous system to slow

down. Physically, your

heart rate will become slower, blood pressure will drop and the

rhythm of breathing will become comfortably slow and deep.

As everything begins to slow down, in a similar way to falling

asleep, our body begins the process of healing. Cells repair, the

immune system strengthens (which is great news during these difficult

days) and muscles reach a relaxed status.

Brainwaves, range from slow to fast. They are literally when neurons

‘talk’ to each other within the brain. The frequency alters

according to your emotions, thoughts or events happening during

the day. During meditation, theta waves are predominantly measured

(although Buddhist monks often achieve short periods of

Gamma brainwaves) which is hugely beneficial to our wellbeing.

Research by Harvard University into the physical changes caused

by meditation, suggests that meditation creates a thickening of the

tissue in the frontal lobes of the brain. This region being fundamentally

important in the individual’s ability to focus on activities

but also maintain emotional stability, increase compassion, empathy

and self-awareness.

This prefrontal cortex of the brain also hosts the perception centres,

connecting to fears and sensations. During periods of anxiety

or great stress, this is stimulated. MRI studies indicate that during

meditation the connections within this part of the brain become

relaxed and that levels of anxiety reduce dramatically.

Meanwhile, the amygdala – associated with emotion and emotionally

bonded memories – repairs quicker when meditation occurs.

Therefore the individual’s resilience to stress or traumatic events

is heightened, they recover more quickly and the ability to deal

with stress is increased. Therefore, deep meditation reduces stress

levels.

Leiden University, Netherlands, then extended their study and

found those who meditate regularly are more productive and can

achieve more levels of divergent thinking also known as ‘outside

the box’. Solving problems which demand a great range of thinking

skills.

Equally important are the practices of mindful meditation which

enables the mind to ‘tune out’ of distractions (aka overthinking)

allowing short term memories to be processed and assimilated

more effectively. Consequently, our memory appears to improve.

Which type of meditation should I use?

There are many different types of meditation but here are a few

that are excellent for those just starting their meditative journey:

• Sound - the use of binaural sounds or music (available via YouTube)

has been found to be highly beneficial especially if you are new to the

process. The sounds are specifically designed to slow your brainwaves

and this method is often used to support general health but also for those

suffering from Parkinson’s, depression or cancer.

• Guided meditation and visualisation – often used to start the meditative

journey or in the initial stages of hypnosis. You listen to the practi-


ation

TICE OF SELF-HEALING

with Dawn O'Donoghue

tioner or trainer, who takes you on a journey using your imagination.

You focus on listening and following direction. There is definite proof

that this improves cognitive abilities and is a great beginning to meditation

as a way of life.

• Mindfulness – now taught in many schools, mindfulness encourages

the individual to

• Observe things or events. If thoughts do interrupt this period of contemplation,

they are acknowledged and the practitioner returns to the

original point of focus. It actively uses the five senses and asks you to

focus on breathing. Mindfulness can help relieve stress, pain and treat

heart disease. It also improves sleep and can combat elements of fibromyalgia

and IBS.

• Mantras – This involves the use of a repetitive sound or phrase. This

can be formal, similar to that used by Oprah Winfrey, consisting of ‘Ong

Namo Guru Dev Namo’ which is translated from ancient Sanskrit.

However, you can use your own version of personal aspirations or words

from a song you particularly like – as long as the message is positive.

The use of

• Aspirational Mantra is that it has a hypnotic effect and implants

‘goals’ deep within the subconscious. The act of continuous repetition

means the mind empties of other intruding thoughts.

• Repetitive tasks – in many Eastern countries, you will observe people

practising martial arts (Tai Chi, karate, etc) or Zen actions in parks

and public spaces. Like mindfulness and chanting mantras, the actions

– continuously repeated – focus the mind absolutely whilst clearing other

thoughts from the conscious mind.

Preparing to meditate

Once you have decided that meditation is beneficial for you, then

you need to make some decisions about your personal practice.

If you choose to meditate to music, then you need to have this

playing before you start.

Initially, you should attempt to dedicate a minimum of fifteen

minutes for your meditation at the beginning or end of the day.

This is your time, it should be in a quiet space without interruptions

– dogs, cats, Children, phones ringing or just well meaning

people in your life who will ‘check on you’ during your meditation

time. You can practise inside (at an ambient temperature) or outside

(connecting with nature) but make sure you are warm and

comfortable.

Aim to keep your spine straight, supported by a wall or high

backed chair. You can sit on a cushion for comfort. The body

should be still, rest your hands consciously on your thighs and, if

possible, get into the habit of joining your thumb and forefinger

on each hand so that they form a circle. If this is not possible for

you, place your hands on your abdomen.

Close your eyes or focus on an area in front of you. New meditators

often find it useful to safely light a candle so that they can

look attentively at the flame. Others prefer to stare at a spot on a

wall. Many like to close their eyes.

Now place your attention on your breath. This allows your body to

cleanse of surplus toxins but also allows you to give your attention

to that and nothing else. I recommend inhaling slowly and deeply

through the nose (I count to five). Hold the breath for six counts

and then exhale through the mouth. This should be done slowly

through pursed lips. Repeat this action three to six times. If your

hands are on your abdomen you may monitor the rise and fall as

you breathe. If you find your mind wanders or intrusive thoughts

occur, just gently return to monitoring your breath.

At the end of your meditation, take time to notice your surroundings.

Thank your body and your mind for it’s cooperation.

Making the commitment

• Like all skills, meditation takes practice and you should put reminders

around you to help you remember to meditate. This may be a yoga mat,

a special cushion or a candle strategically placed.

• You may wish to leave yourself notes or set reminders

on your phone. Make your re-minders

obvious, so you set your intention to practising

your meditation. Change these

regularly to refresh your commitment.

• Use your breathing techniques when

placed in a stressful situation. You will

find it comes naturally as you get

more skilled at meditating.

I hope you try meditation as a self help

tool and embrace it as beneficial for

your well-being, stress relief and quietening

the mind, in our busy world.

Please

Now if you please, come into all

fours, breath in deeply and on

your exhale push into Downward

Facing Dog by lifting your hips

towards the sky and then settle

into an upside down V shape

- it may not be the usual advice many young adults

would consider on how to look after their mental

well-being to counter stress and anxiety.

However, more people than ever before are doing

some form of Mindfulness and Yoga and the science

boffins have discovered it has some quite extraordinary

effects on the brains of those who do it regularly. It is

particularly beneficial for young adults who may have

to deal with worries about their future career prospects,

university opportunities, examination results, relationships,

body image, the impact of social media, the environment,

Covid-19, and most of all, being able to talk

openly about all of these concerns.

Yoga and Mindfulness, though considered stereo-typically

performed by hippy gurus or monks with shaved

heads wrapped in vibrant-coloured sheets sat in

mountain temples chanting, “OM”, or by ‘perfect’ looking

models clad in sleek designer leggings performing

impossible feats of gymnastics on the front of glossy

magazines, has been found to help thousands of young

people. And this is entirely regardless of wealth, flexibility,

beliefs, strength, or body shape, to simply foster

a sense of emotional calm. Though I often hear many

young adults say, but “I am not flexible enough to do

Yoga!” I often reply, “That’s like saying

‘I am too dirty to take a bath!’”

All you need is a body and perhaps

a mat to get started.

So how does Mindfulness and

Yoga work? Here comes the

science bit!

The bad news is our brains are

hard-wired to be constantly

anxious by seeking out danger

that could hurt us. The

good news is, there are some

cool Yoga and Mindfulness

tools we can use

to help us deal with

our over-vigilant

brains.

where the ‘Thinkers’ live – they help us to plan ahead, problem

solve, study, and balance our emotions thus keeping us

calm.

The ground floor is where the ‘Feelers’ live. They are driven

by survival instinct; they help us to keep us safe by making

sure our needs are met. When the ‘Feelers’ sound the danger

alarm, from a potential threat, our body prepares to either

fight, run, hide, or freeze. The trouble is, the ‘Feelers’ can often

get it wrong, and will take over the ‘Thinkers’ upstairs. This

isn’t helped by the fact that the upstairs part of our brain is

under construction until our mid to late twenties. When our

‘Feelers’ take over the ‘Thinkers’, we are constantly distracted

by the need for the ‘Feelers’ to find danger. In fact, a scientific

study found that our minds wander nearly 50% of the time

and when we do, we often think about unpleasant things. This

stops us from concentrating and being good at something. Instead,

we are trapped in depressive thoughts about the past

and worrying anxieties about the future. However, both Yoga

and Mindfulness focuses our attention on the present moment

– the here and now.

Yoga is a mind-body system: ‘Yoga’ is a Sanskrit Indian word

which means to ‘unite’.’ When we are anxious, stressed, and

worried, we live too much in our heads. What makes Yoga

different to other forms of exercise is that movements are coordinated

with breathing, so that we focus more on physical

sensations in our bodies and the part of the brain that registers

these is the same place where our sense of self, and

identity lives.

By practicing Mindfulness and Yoga we come home to, and,

are more comfortable with ourselves. The more we notice

sensations and emotions, the better we are at making wiser

choices for our own well-being and self-care.

OU DON’T HAVE TO!

So how can we use Mindfulness and Yoga to be Calmer and

More Focused? Here’s a Simple Beginner’s Practice!

Begin in Standing or Seated Mountain pose. If standing, anchor

down into your feet as you stand upright, arms at your

sides, and your feet hip’s distance apart. If seated feel the

weight down in your sit-bones with your spine long, feet flat

on the floor, and hands resting on your thighs. The following

sequence is helpful if you feel anxious or numbed out – it tells

your downstairs ‘Feelers’ that you are safe, secure, and will

help you feel more relaxed.

Orientate - simply look around the room and notice key features

of your surroundings. As you do this, try to soften your

shoulders, neck, and jaw.

Ground – this is when we feel our body, especially our feet

and legs, on whatever is beneath us. To take this a step further,

on an inhale press one foot into the floor hard, then release

and relax on the exhale. Try to feel the connection from

your upper body all the way down to your feet as you press

down. Alternate this movement with both feet until you feel

calmer.

Centre - Being a young person can feel disempowering, and

to reclaim our power, we can physically centre ourselves by

getting in touch with the abdomen by lifting the lower belly

muscles upwards. Also, if we focus our attention on the sensations

of breath, as if we are inflating and deflating a balloon

behind our belly button, we can also feel calmer.

Stress and anxiety are tiring; it steals our energy by tensing our

muscles. The following simple movements in Mountain pose

(standing) will loosen up your body. They will also help you

learn how to tune into your body’s sensations, feel grounded,

and connect to your core.

Do each movement for about one minute and in between

come into stillness and notice any bodily sensations.

In Yoga we generally breathe in and out through

our noses.

Spinal Waves – with hands gliding down the front of

your thighs, slowly roll down on an exhale, rounding

the spine with your chin tucked in, knees soft and upper

body relaxed. On the inhale gradually return up to

standing. This helps to connect your breath to movement.

Heel lifts – you can add your arms as you rise on your

toes as you inhale, then drop back on to your heels as

you exhale and lower your arms, moving in a rhythmical

manner. Balancing like this is good for your core

and feet. Feel the thud reverberate through your legs

as you drop back onto your heels to feel grounded.

Shake it off – move to the beat of your favourite song

as you gently jiggle like jelly throughout your whole

body. Taylor Swift is right; you can shake of what’s

bugging you.

Fists of Fire – this ninja ‘power pose’ strengthens the

lower body and is a great for relieving tension or anger.

It’s also very empowering. From standing take your

right leg forward with the knee bent directly over the

ankle. The back leg is straight, but balanced on the ball

of the foot, heel raised. As you inhale lift your hands

up high, as if you are trying to pull down energy from

the sky, then shout, ‘Hah’ whilst pulling your hands into

fists by the side of your waist as you straighten your

front leg. Sound and breath are important in this pose

as it calms our nervous system.

Ragdoll – this calming forward fold relieves tension in

our hamstrings, one of the main muscle groups used

in the fight, flight, or fear response. From standing with

feet hip’s width apart, fold over from your hips and

bend your knees deeply enough so that your stomach

rests on your thighs. Clasp your elbows with opposite

hands. Relax and release your upper body downwards.

Feel free to sway in this posture.

Mindfulness Body Scan – you can do this on a chair or

laid down. With eyes closed or a soft gaze, feel firmly

rooted to the ground. Starting with your feet, be aware

of sensations as you move through each body part

until you reach your head. Sometimes muscular tension

can be linked to stress, and anxiety. If you notice

anything challenging, ‘name to tame’ (label the feeling)

before coming back to the body scan.

If you feel any tension, you can hold your focus in that

spot longer and breath into that area to help it soften.

Once you have completed the scan, be aware of your

entire body. Notice any shifts in how you feel. When

opening your eyes take note of your surroundings and

all your senses – hearing, smell, and taste in the mouth.

And there you have it. A few easy Yoga and Mindfulness

exercises to help reduce anxiety and stress. Just

a few minutes every day can steer yourself towards a

happier, more peaceful, place.

EMPOWERING YOU

TO ACHIEVE A FIT & HEALTHY LIFE

“Health is not about the weight you lose, but about the life you gain”

CAN YOU ‘WORKOUT’ THE

MENOPAUSE?

Women really do have a lot to contend with in our quest to have a

fit and healthy body. And, to top it all off, just when you thought

you’d got it all under control - The Menopause! Along with the

hot flushes, mood swings, tiredness, depression, insomnia, irritability,

and general daily craziness, one of the worst symptoms can be

weight gain. It’s sudden. It’s stubborn. And it’s often concentrated

around your mid-section. No matter how active or lazy you are, it

affects almost all women.

As angry as you may feel about this - it’s not your fault! Unfortunately

it’s one of menopauses natural processes that all females go

through, and although that doesn’t make it any easier, if you know

what to expect and you commit to doing something about it, you

can make a difference. Even the correct workout routine and diet

can alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause!

So, what can fitness after 40 look like?

It starts with exercise! It’s vital to your physical and mental health

and well-being, so here’s some tips on what you need to do to

stay (or get) in shape at mid-life. Make sure you check with your

healthcare provider before starting a new exercise program if you

have any health concerns, or if you haven’t exercised in a long time.

There are lots of physical activities that have been proven to help

protect and strengthen the heart, bones, and muscles, as well as

helping to maintain and improve balance, body weight, mood, and

overall sense of well-being. You’ve got to switch it up a couple

of times a week to keep improving your health. Here are a few

activities to help introduce some variety into your routine:

• Brisk walking

• Jogging

• Biking or spinning

• Aerobics or water aerobics

• Dancing

• Tennis

• Weight training

• Interval training


With Sarah Winn - FitSista Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer

THE NUMBER ON THE SCALES

IS JUST A NUMBER

So, you’ve tracked your calories,

exercised daily, hit your step goals, and

drank so much water you’ve been running

to the loo all week and you’re feeling

great. But then you step on the scales,

and they haven’t moved - and you’re

gutted. The scales are just a number! –

It doesn’t mean you haven’t lost body

fat! You can stay the same weight on the

scales and go down a dress size as your

body composition changes. So, keep up

the good work and don’t give up. If the

scales aren’t moving, try measuring your

progress by your measurements, photos,

or best of all - how your clothes are

fitting.

And remember… It will take you longer

than you want. You’re going to think it’s

not working. You’re going to want to quit.

Consistency always wins, it will be worth

it. Whatever diet you’re following, no

amount of weight loss is worth it if you’re

miserable while you’re following it.

ARE

YOU

GETTING

ENOUGH

SLEEP?

ZZZzzz

START YOUR OWN

SLEEP DIARY:

Monday

Getting enough sleep is just as important for your physical and mental health,

As exercise and good nutrition is.

Sleep deprivation can not only lead to a

higher risk of chronic health problems,

like high blood pressure, heart disease,

kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke, but

it also plays a vital role in any fitness and

weight-loss goals that you may have. For

example, if your goal is to lose weight,

lack of sleep can cause your cortisol

levels to rise, (this is the stress hormone

that is frequently associated with fat

gain. It is known in simple terms to

activate your brain to feel hungry. This

in turn can affect your diet and eating

habits).

If you’re wanting to increase strength

and gain muscle, not getting enough

sleep can decrease the body’s protein

synthesis, (your body’s ability to make

muscle) and can lead to a higher risk of

injuries. Without enough good-quality

sleep, your body cannot fully recover

properly.

To be able to be at your optimum fitness

level, getting enough sleep is also very

important. While you are asleep, your

body is busy recharging and giving your

mind and body the rest that requires

to enable you to perform at your best.

While sleep requirements vary from

person to person, most healthy adults

need between 7.5-9 hours of sleep every

night in order to function at their best.

So, the question remains…Are you getting enough Sleep?

HOW SPENDING

TIME IN NATURE

COULD BENEFIT US ALL

NATURE AS THERAPY

Studies in ecotherapy reveal how being in and experiencing natural settings can lead to

better mental health and feeling more relaxed. Spending time in nature or even listening

to natural sounds has been found to have a positive effect on both our thought processes

and our bodies and a recent study suggested that spending two hours or more in natural

spaces every week is linked with a positive sense of wellbeing.

TAKE A MINDFUL WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

You don’t have to return from a walk caked in mud to benefit from the joy’s nature can bring either.

Use mindfulness to attend to the present moment. Let nature and the environment hold you. Pay

attention to your senses — what do you hear, see, or feel? What’s the temperature of your skin; what

can you smell? If you’re in a kitchen garden or allotment, what can you taste?

Perhaps focus on what’s going on around you — magpies roosting, grasses swaying in the breeze,

the rustle of birds in hedgerows. Notice things you ordinarily wouldn’t, intimately investigate a leaf

or flower or take a long calm walk amongst woodland (you could even try forest bathing, see the

website below for more information).

Why taking care of your mental health could have physical benefits

ARE YOU

In terms of stress, through our own experiences as well as those of others

we all have a basic un-derstanding of what stress is and how it makes us

feel. For a more detailed understanding of stress and why some stress

is actually good for us visit https://www.stress.org.uk.

There is a clear link between stress and our immune system.

Psychoneuroimmunology is a growing area of research that

looks deeper into the connection between our mental and

emotional state, our nervous system, and our immune

function. When we’re stressed, our immune response

is affected, and our physical wellbeing

can deteriorate. So, controlling the level of

stress in our lives is benefi-cial for more than

just our mental health.

IBS Awareness

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is also in

the limelight this month. It’s a condition

that affects many people in the UK (2 in

10 according to Bupa). IBS is the gut’s

response to external stressors (from

diet to our mental state) and causes

uncomfortable and painful symptoms. In

some cases, there is a link between IBS

and an individual’s mental wellbeing,

though how the connection works isn’t

completely clear.

Our gut health is very important and

according to Tim Spector our “gut is the

second-largest net-work of nerves outside

of our heads and has been called our

second brain.” Further research into the

gut and the microbes that live there will

hopefully shed further light on IBS and

how to manage it.

Mindfulness &

Hypnotherapy

So, keeping in mind that

we need to look after our

wellbeing, what can we do to

help ourselves? Amongst other

activities such as self-care and

exercise, mindfulness is an

excellent tool to use against

stress. Not thinking about the

future or the past but paying

attention to your life and your

ac-tions in the moment can

bring many benefits.

And hypnotherapy? The

National Institute for Health

and Care Excellence (NICE)

recommends hypnotherapy as a

non-pharmacological treatment

for IBS if symptoms do not ease

using medica-tion over a period

of 12 months. Hypnotherapy

works with the psychological

side of living with IBS. It

specifically aims to prevent any

psychological distress arising

from having IBS from making

IBS symptoms worse.
