Kindness towards oneself is the next thing you want to harness if you are to live a wholesome life. We are quick to come down hard on ourselves, blaming ourselves for our mistakes and inability to achieve our goals. Thus, self-compassion is key to health and wellbeing, on all fronts, and, its essential if you wish […]

From the day we are old enough to recognise that our bodies seem to be of extreme importance – through the media, for jobs, at school, in magazines, when we are buying clothes – the body comparison begins. We then spend the rest of our lives trying to boost our body confidence by moulding ourselves […]
