Is it just me or is life going at a million miles an hour? When I look around me at my friends and colleagues and fellow bloggers everyone I know is ‘SO busy’. We are the on the go generation, always multi tasking, always flying from one meeting to the next. Life is fast and we don’t want to miss out on anything…..fomo is real people!!

I think the fact that I live in central London adds to this fast paced feeling, everything around me is moving quickly from the people, to the tubes, its like we are on fast forward as a city and I often get so caught up with being in a rush that I forget to take a moment to just stop and switch off.

Last year I had a bit of a turning point, my health and body took a bit of a battering and I was in a pretty bad place for a while. It actually took me packing up my bags and heading off to Ibiza on the ‘Our Retreat’ wellness retreat to realise just how much I needed a break. So since then I have been making an effort to find a balance.

This is a journey, a continuous balance I am working to get right. I am not there yet and still figuring out what works for me but I am trying. So here are a a few things I have been doing/incorporating into my life which help:

• Practising regular Yoga – I am aiming for once a week at the moment, nothing beats a good stretch
• Reformer Pilates – my favourite kind of workout, and one of my happy places
• Reading a (trashy romantic) book before I go to bed helps me switch off
• Waking up an hour earlier and workout in the mornings allowing my evenings to be more chilled
• Choosing to walk to my meetings rather than getting public transport (most of the time!)
• Escaping London as much as I can….nothing like a weekend away and some greenery to help you switch off
• Spraying Mio Skincare liquid yoga spray on my pillows before I go to sleep….trust me it’s like instant calm in a bottle
• Always packing my Neom Organics Essential De Stress Kit especially when I travel or have long journies
