Featured on Scuba Travel:With the New Year here, it’s time to get those resolutions underway. Traditionally a time to set personal goals, what better way to begin the year than by planning adventures, pledging to help others, and learning new dive skills. Here are my top 10 diver resolutions for the New Year with Scuba Travel.http://news.scubatravel.co.uk/top-10-diver-resolutions-new-year.html
February is one of my favourite months of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, where I used to live, the promise of spring is just around the corner and in the Southern Hemisphere, where I now live, it is summertime and life is in full bloom. Add to that the prospect of Valentine's Day and Shrove Tuesday (everybody loves a pancake) and what's not to love?January is the month when we're all high on the promise of New Year resolutions, we're tired and broke post-Christmas and slumping when we realise that maybe those resolutions haven't made their way to the fore yet. January kinda sucks let's face it.February though is far enough away from Christmas that it brings hope and more realistic new beginnings. It is a month of opportunity to choose the resolutions you want to stick with guilt-free and a chance to create new adventures.This month I will be focussing on wellness in my life. Here are some of the things I will be doing to keep my mind, spirit, body and soul ticking over:*Continuing my mindfulness meditation journey with HeadSpace. By dedicating just 10 minutes every other day to meditation I am already seeing an improvement in my emotional and mental wellbeing, which of course translates to physical health as well. The mind is where our entire experience of life occurs.*Getting to grips with Pilates for better spinal health, which I thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in improving their flexibility and core strength. Just 30 minutes twice a week is plenty.*Walking and breathing in nature for an hour every day. Not only is walking great for fitness but it also energises our minds as well and is a great way to process the day, reconnect with nature and unwind.*Getting creative! After a long break from writing and creativity whilst emigrating to New Zealand, it's time to step up the pace and focus on my true passion; writing. Creativity is pure soul food.*Reading. It allowa our minds the freedom to dream and rest, it gets the imagination fired up. Is there anything nicer than reading a book with a cuppa?Have a great month and remember to take time for your own journey.What will you do to for wellness this February?
