Happy Bonus Day!  

Today is our extra/bonus day for February – Happy 29th Feb – once every 4 years! A special day to officially start my weekly newsletter? 🙂  

Thursday Tips or [TT] – as my thanks to you for joining my mailing list, I commit to delivering you bitesize, useful tips on Thursdays.

In my recent free webinar on overcoming migraines though lifestyle and holistic measures, I talked about the importance of balancing your autonomic nervous system.  

This could be through mindfulness and breathwork practices. 

I invite you to take a mindful moment now (well, after reading this section of the email!) 

• Observe your body’s position as you read this e.g. sitting on your chair

• Notice the sensation of your feet on the ground, seat on the chair, hands on the mouse/ phone
• Notice your breath, allow this to settle, and for the next 3-5 breaths, slowly extend the exhale to be longer than your inhale. 

How did that feel? I am genuinely interested, do let me know by reply. 

If you would like to try a guided mindfulness practice, I’ll send you the link to a 3-min mindful moment audio, for when you walk in the park (or visualise it as you sit at your desk!). Let me know if you would like this. 

I hope you enjoy your bonus day today.

Here’s to empowering your health,

PS – Did you know that mindfulness practices can have a positive impact on your gut microbiome?  More about this and the gut-brain axis in a future [TT] edition!
