The phrase ‘life-changing’ can conjure up all kinds of emotions –excitement, anxiety, a feeling of being overwhelmed. When we think of changing our lives we often default to big, drastic acts that we hope will bring about 360 degrees of change. But that’s not always what we need. Nor is it often achievable. There’s no better way to set yourself up for failure than by aiming for unrealistic, unachievable goals in an attempt to effect change.

Whether it’s a work presentation, a first date, or a tough conversation, we’ve got 10 top tips to help you give your confidence a boost.
We all know what it means to feel emotion – we know there are both physical and mental components, whether that’s jumping when we see a mouse or feeling content when we’re with people we love. Even though we might feel shivers down our spine or butterflies in our stomach, we can’t pinpoint emotions within the body. But equally, we know they’re not all in the mind. So where do these emotions come from?
How do we let our emotions work for us, instead of against us? The secret to enjoying more satisfying relationships could lie in cultivating your emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, or EQ, has been a popular topic in the self-help and personal development world for a while, but what is it? And can it be learned?
Whether it’s choosing to eat an extra slice of cake or deciding to apply for a new job, our emotions affect everything we do. If we are to live life to the fullest and approach our daily tasks in a positive way, we must care for our emotional health.
Spending time connecting with nature offers myriad benefits for our health and wellbeing.
