Focus on- Detox
Our monthly info slot for a ‘hot topic’

Look Good- The festive season can be a time for overindulgence and perhaps your body has been ever so slightly neglected.

  •  To reduce the signs of aging and improve your skin condition an oriental facial massage is just the thing, take an hour to be pampered and leave feeling and looking great.
  • It’s said time and time again (we said it last month), but drinking plenty of water keeps you hydrated inside and out- at least 2 litres each day will keep your skin glowing  and aid your weight loss. Did you know being only slightly dehydrated affects your whole body and brain function?
  •   Are there clothes in your wardrobe that you are holding onto that:- don’t fit? Are no longer in fashion?  You cannot understand why you bought in the first place?  If you have items you haven’t worn in the last year then  it’s time to detox your wardrobe- join in with some friends have a clothes swap, donate them to charity, take them to a dressmaker and get them revamped.
Feel Great-New Year
  •  Although it might be the last thing you want to do, make the most of the beautiful bay and take a walk. It improves your muscle tone, expends calories, releases all those endorphins and gets your circulation going too.
  • January can sometimes be a time when we feel as though we have nothing to look forward to. Make time to go and see some friends, plan a date in the diary or treat yourself to something new.
  • Sleep is so important in helping you to feel great. Aim for around 8 hours each night to ensure you wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. If you’re struggling to relax or switch off, then come and see us to see how we can help.
  

Think Well- Detox your mind...
  •   Find yourself worrying about yesterday and stressing about tomorrow? Try practicing Mindfulness- it’s a way of drawing your attention to the present through slow breathing and conscious thinking.
  • Now is the time to let go of those patterns that are stopping you from having the life you want. Counselling & Life Coaching can be an effective way of doing this. If you’re not sure what direction you want to be heading in, come and try our Well-being Assessment to help you build your plans.  Only £10 during January and February!
  •  Start the day as you mean to go on... write down some positive thoughts on post-it notes and have them stuck to the fridge/mirror so you can see them as you begin your day. It’s amazing how different the day can be, if we start off with hope for what’s ahead.
