Is it colouring everything grey, making things seem worse than they really are? And how long are you willing to sit in that negativity? The thing is, when you change the lens through which you see the world, you get to choose one that lifts you, lightens you, and lets you see possibility instead of limitation. We explore some of the com...

Send us a text On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about NSDR - Non Sleep Deep Rest. Similar to meditation or breathwork, NSDR can help take us out of our monkey minds and bring us back into our bodies.

So many of us are in a state of stress and anxiety far more than we should be, and a short NSDR practice can make a huge difference. Polly...
