A little time for yourself.
Listen to an affirmation recording, follow a breathing guide, or watch a session. You will also find moments from events and community work I have taken part in.
Pause now
Try a short breathing pause.
Use the simple guided rhythm on the home page whenever you want a brief, gentle pause. Keep the breath comfortable and stop if you feel unwell.
Audio affirmations
Listen in your own time.
Listen in your own time and at a comfortable volume. These recordings are offered as reflective wellbeing resources, not medical treatment.

Notes on the brain, attention, movement and music. Follow the sources if you would like to read more.
The brain and body communicate
Your gut has its own network of nerves and exchanges signals with your brain. The heart also contains nerve cells involved in regulating how it works. These are connected parts of the body’s nervous system.

What mindfulness means
Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment without judging it. Meditation may support wellbeing, but people respond differently and research findings vary.
Read more: NCCIH on meditation and mindfulness.
Movement and mood
Physical activity can support mood and sleep. In adults, a session of moderate or vigorous activity can reduce short-term feelings of anxiety. The benefits of an active routine can build over time.
Read more: CDC on the benefits of physical activity.
Music and wellbeing
Music can affect how we feel. Researchers have observed dopamine’s role in pleasure from music, and some music-based interventions may help with anxiety. Effects vary with the person and setting.
