Arguably, the most important aspect of wellbeing is your mental health, and there are so many ways to support it. Therapy, coaching, meditation, long walks, and meaningful conversations with close connections. One of my favorite mental health tools is to practice giving everyone you meet an act of kindness. Whether that’s a smile, holding a door, giving a compliment or being helpful in some other way. Try this for one week and see if it doesn’t improve your mental perspective!

Emotions are directly linked to our senses, so it stands to reason that anything that we enjoy will evoke positive emotion. The Shakti matt is my go-to tool to reboot my mind.

Diffusors instantly fill your room with soothing smell of your favorite scent; a sure way to relax the mind and soothe the emotions.
