What are you doing for yourself?
It’s all too easy, particularly in the run up to Christmas to put ourselves at the back of the queue when it comes to priorities - the yoga classes go out of the window, the festive food and drinks flow, sleep is at times just an added bonus, and the stresses of managing a personal life, work life and holding everything together can at times feel too much.
On top of this, when we’ve finally made it through the stress of Christmas and New Year we’re told we should be hitting the gym, cutting out carbs and making plans to take over the world in 2017.
So let’s just stop for a minute. Stop and reassess.
When was the last time you had a day for you? A whole day dedicated just to you. Where you weren't thinking about your kids, or partner, or work, or friends, or where you weren’t thinking about fitting in that run before going to a nephew’s birthday party and then rushing round the shops before they closed? The chances are it’ll probably be a while ago.
We’ve got the perfect way to start your year with some well deserved self-love. What does this mean? It means looking after you so that you can be the best possible version of yourself for 2017. Benefitting not just you, but everyone else around you.
I’ve teamed up with two amazing women, Lucy Faulks, life coach, meditation and mindfulness practitioner and founder of Technotox and Tanja Mrnhaus, leading stylist at IDCouture to put together a day you’ll leave feeling inspired, motivated and a whole lot healthier in body and mind! And we’re not only bringing this day to London, but also to Manchester.
Reflect, Recharge, Redefine will be held on Saturday 28th January at the Greenhouse in Homerton. A day combining Pilates led by myself, confidence and styling workshops with Tanja, mindfulness meditation and personal goal setting for 2017 with Lucy, vegan cookery, healthy food and drinks provided by CPress all day and the chance to meet some other like minded people.
Reflect, Recentre, Recharge will be held on Sunday 8 January at Yoga Central in Manchester.
