Wellbeing – News Anyway

Why Boundaries Are the New Path to Self-Love

News Desk — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 21:21:26 +0000

When someone goes through a separation or major life shift, the gentle idea of “self-love” can feel a little distant or superficial. Real self-love at these times is less about bubble baths and makeovers more about making decisions that protect one’s wellbeing. Setting emotional, physical and financial boundaries becomes a deeply meaningful act of self-respect and healing.

Redefining Self-Love in Times of Change

Self-love, at its heart, is about choosing to honour one’s needs and values, especially during emotionally charged periods such as separation. Self-love involves setting boundaries around time and energy, prioritising personal goals and caring for oneself as you would a friend. During a transition, one might redefine self-love by saying “no” to what drains me, and “yes” to what strengthens me. That might mean stepping back from hurtful conversations, choosing restful routines over expectations, and creating safe spaces for healing.

The Role of Boundaries in Emotional Recovery

Boundaries are the building blocks of healing. By clarifying what one will and will not accept a person rebuilds confidence, reduces conflict and creates space for recovery. Emotional boundaries might mean: “I will not engage in calls that leave me anxious,” or “I will ask for time alone before I respond.” Setting boundaries is key to feeling respected, valued and safe. If someone is navigating separation, for example, they might find their mind constantly looping over what happened. Emotional boundaries can interrupt that loop with clarity: For example, telling yourself “I will only think about this topic at 7 pm each day for 20 minutes. Over time, these boundaries restore autonomy, calm and emotional stability.

Financial Boundaries as a Form of Empowerment

Establishing clear financial boundaries during separation can be a powerful act of self-care. Divorce lawyers can help you navigate this with clarity and confidence. Financial boundaries might include defining what share of joint assets one is comfortable with, setting independent budgets, or choosing how and when finances will be discussed. In the UK, guidelines exist to help those separating sort out money, property and pensions. By taking control of finances during a separation the individual reinforces their self-worth and sets the tone for the next chapter.

Putting It All Together: Self-Respect, Safety and Freedom

Create a list of what you need emotionally (quiet time, supportive friends) and where you’ll draw lines.
Note what financial decisions feel right (bank account changes, budgeting, advice).
Review physical boundaries (space, privacy, rest).
Honour each boundary by saying the words, writing them down, or sharing them with someone you trust.

The journey of self-love through boundaries may not always feel easy or particularly glamorous, but it’s profoundly transformative and so worthwhile. In choosing to protect and honour what really matters, the person emerges not only healed but more whole and more themselves.

Winter wellness activities to lift your mood

News Desk — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 20:04:42 +0000

When the cold sets in and grey skies linger, it’s easy to feel sluggish or low. Winter offers a quiet opportunity to reset your body and mind. By shifting your routine and embracing both movement and comfort, you can transform shorter days into ones that feel purposeful and energising. Stepping outside into crisp air, stretching at home, or taking part in enjoyable activities with friends or family can bring subtle yet noticeable improvements in mood. With small adjustments, you can find moments of vitality and calm, turning winter into a season of wellbeing rather than endurance.

Start your day outdoors

Even a brief walk in the morning can have a tangible impact on your mood. Exposure to natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, improving sleep and alertness. Breathing in crisp air while your body warms up through gentle movement invigorates both mind and muscles. Try heading out for a 15-minute walk before breakfast, taking a route that exposes you to sunlight or winter scenery. Walking at a steady pace engages your heart, lungs, and legs, and the combination of light, movement, and fresh air can leave you feeling more awake, focused, and ready to tackle the day ahead.

Practice mindful movement at home

Indoor exercises like yoga, pilates, or stretching help maintain flexibility while calming your mind. These practices encourage you to tune into your body and breath, which reduces tension and improves mental clarity. For instance, starting with ten minutes of gentle stretches upon waking can loosen tight shoulders and hips, while flowing through a short yoga sequence in the evening can ease stress that has been built up from work or daily tasks. Mindful movement creates pockets of presence in your day, giving you a break from constant planning or screen time, which is especially valuable during darker months.

Embrace active holidays

Combining exercise with fresh scenery can transform winter downtime into something restorative. Skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing engages multiple muscle groups while boosting cardiovascular health, and the natural surroundings provide a mental lift. Andorra ski holidays offer a chance to integrate physical activity with moments of relaxation, from mountain top cafes to spa treatments, helping you return home feeling both energised and refreshed. Planning a short ski break encourages regular movement and gives you something to look forward to, which can be particularly motivating during the winter slump.

Enjoy cosy rituals

Creating small comfort routines at home supports emotional wellbeing and relaxation. A warm bath with essential oils, sipping herbal tea while reading, or lighting a scented candle can signal to your body that it’s time to unwind. Performing these rituals consistently helps regulate stress levels and encourages restful sleep. Even five minutes dedicated to a calming activity can counterbalance a hectic day, and gradually, these moments build a foundation of seasonal resilience that improves overall mood.

Connect with loved ones

Spending time with friends and family combats the isolation often associated with winter. Shared meals, game nights, or simple walks together provide emotional support and foster a sense of belonging. Engaging socially releases endorphins, which naturally enhance mood, and even short interactions can make a noticeable difference when daylight is limited. Prioritising these connections reinforces wellbeing, turning chilly days into opportunities for warmth and joy.

Whole Earth Brands Names The Variable as US Agency of Record

News Desk — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 11:33:23 +0000

Whole Earth Brands, a global leader in organic and Fair Trade sweeteners and zero-calorie options like stevia, monk fruit, and allulose, has appointed independent agency The Variable as its agency of record (AOR) for the Wholesome® and Whole Earth® brands in the US.

This decision comes after a competitive review launched in February 2024, as the company aims to disrupt the premium sweetener market by positioning its brands as high-quality, positive-impact options for bakers, makers, and wellness-focused consumers.

The Variable collaborated with Power Digital, which will manage digital media strategy and buying. Together, they will work alongside Whole Earth Brands’ marketing team to create strategic marketing platforms and integrated campaigns that align with the missions of both Wholesome® and Whole Earth® brands.

Wholesome®, with a portfolio of high-quality, organic and Regenerative Organic Certified®, and Fair Trade Certified sugars, honeys, agaves and syrups, is driven by a mission of creating meaningful connections between farmers and the makers and bakers who care about where their products are sourced from. Wholesome® has strong distribution with natural retailers such as Whole Foods and Sprouts, and is expanding its distribution across mainstream grocery and mass retail, where it has a presence at divisions of Kroger, Albertson’s, Publix, Sam’s Club and Costco.

Whole Earth®, a premium sugar substitute brand with products that include Stevia, Monk Fruit, and Allulose-based sweeteners, is targeted toward health-conscious consumers seeking great-tasting, and non-GMO sweeteners that easily fit into their daily routine – in beverages, baking and more. The brand is available nationally at major retailers like Costco, Walmart, Kroger, and Publix.

“We are very excited to be working with The Variable. The strategic and creative work on Whole Earth brings a bold edge and cultural relevance to the brand, which is critical in the relatively low engagement category that we play in” said Mitchell Kruesi, VP Marketing at Whole Earth Brands. “On Wholesome, they’ve stepped up the creative impact of how our quality transforms your bakes, and we’re inspired by where we can continue to take this growth brand with them”.

The Variable’s first project for Whole Earth was the launch of “It’s a Whole Vibe,” a campaign that sought to redefine wellness by rejecting conventional standards and focusing on the modern consumer’s individual, and flexible, definition of self-care. To Whole Earth, “wellness” is, simply put, “whatever makes you feel well.” That’s it. Period. If working out every day is your thing, then hats off to you. If you’re interested in reducing sugar in your diet, then you-do-you. If you want to sleep in on a Sunday morning, we see that as straight-up self-care. That work will continue to run in select markets through 2026.

The Variable’s first work for Wholesome is slated to launch in November. The work builds on the 2023 “All The Best” campaign, enhancing it to showcase how Wholesome’s minimally-processed , Fair Trade, Organic sweeteners bring all the best to your bakes – from crop to kitchen.

“Whole Earth and Wholesome have already created impressive reputations for quality and trust, and we are excited about tapping into the amazing potential that exists to push these brands even further,” said Courtney Lewis, CMO at The Variable. “With consumers expecting more than ever, we’re eager to help both brands break through the noise with bold, creative campaigns that make them the go-to choice for modern consumers looking to sweeten their lives in wellness-conscious ways.”

Urgent Need for Self-Care as NHS Faces Winter Pressures, Says PAGB

News Desk — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 18:13:15 +0000

With winter approaching and Health and Care Secretary Wes Streeting describing the NHS as “broken but not beaten,” the call for consumers to practice self-care for minor ailments has never been more critical.

However, recent research conducted for PAGB, the consumer healthcare association, highlights a challenge: nearly a quarter (22%) of consumers do not consider self-care as their first choice for managing easily treatable conditions. This underscores the need for increased awareness and education on the importance of self-care in alleviating strain on healthcare services.

Room For Improvement

Michelle Riddalls, CEO at PAGB, says, “Although awareness of the benefits of self-care, for both consumers and the health service, has increased as a result of our educational outreach and activities such as Self-Care Week (18^th-24^th November 2024) there is still significant room for improvement.”

The PAGB data confirms that just under one in five people (18%) recalled seeing a news story or campaign promoting self-care in the previous year, with this rising to 29% for young adults (18 to 24 years).

And 72% said they were more likely to self-care as a result of seeing news coverage or campaign materials, with this rising to 79% among the youngest demographic. Michelle Riddalls adds, “This is encouraging as our research found that many younger adults lack the confidence to self-care that older adults possess.”

Just under a quarter (23%) of those aged 25 to 34, admitted they would try to secure a GP appointment for minor ailment or injury they could treat themselves, compared to just 9% of those aged 65 or older.

Huge NHS Savings

Michelle Riddalls says “The findings proves the power of awareness campaigns to deliver real change, and the need to get this right has never been as pressing. Huge numbers of people are struggling to access GP services and prolonged wait-times and corridor care are now the norm in many hospital A&E departments.

“Yet research by the analysts Frontier Economics, which we at PAGB commissioned, calculates that increased utilisation of self-care, and the easy-to-access expertise offered by high street pharmacies could save the NHS at least £1.7billion a year in avoidable appointments and prescription costs.”

The PAGB data also reveals the generation gap when it comes to confidence around self-care, with 59% of the 18 to 24-year-olds seeking a GP appointment being referred to a pharmacist, compared to 32% overall.

This age group is also far more likely to request a GP appointment to access free prescription medicines, with 52% saying this influenced their decision, compared to just 6% of over-60s.

It also raises some worrying questions around women’s ability to access care for conditions such as period pain and menopause symptoms.

Women’s Health Access Issues

More than half (57%) the women who had experienced menopause symptoms said they had found it impossible or difficult to get a GP appointment in the 2024 PAGB Self-Care Census. Similarly, 53% experiencing period pain had also struggled to access GP care.

Michelle Riddalls continues, “These challenges are often dismissed an inevitable part of being a woman, but the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence acknowledges that as many as half those who experience primary dysmenorrhea — the medical term for severe menstrual cramps and pain — miss at least one day of work or school each month.”

Mark Burdon, a pharmacist and advisor to PAGB adds, “I would encourage any woman in this position to speak to a pharmacist. These highly trained experts can provide advice on over-the-counter therapies and medicines which might help, and in some cases, they may refer you to another health service of professional.”

On the plus side, the 2024 PAGB Self-Care Census found that 69% of women felt they could access the information they needed to self-care for common women’s health conditions such as thrush, urinary tract infections and period pain.

Reassuringly, 68% used the NHS website to access information on healthcare, 43% sought information from their GP surgery and 38% from a pharmacist.

High Street Heroes

Pharmacy First is an example of an initiative developed to make the most of the expertise and ease-of-access that high street pharmacies provide. But Michelle Riddalls says, “We must do more to highlight the role these high street heroes can play in empowering patients to take more ownership of their healthcare and easing pressure on the NHS.”

In summary, Michelle Riddalls notes: “The appetite and consumer willingness to take a more proactive approach to self-care is there. Three quarters [77%] of the adults we surveyed agreed that we should all take more responsibility for our own health to ease the pressure on the NHS.”

Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Company Launches Guide of Hope for World Suicide Prevention Day

News Desk — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 12:57:00 +0000

A Leeds-based mental health and suicide prevention Community Interest Company releases a free guide in support of World Suicide Prevention Day.

The guide, produced by HelloHope UK CIC, aims to dispel myths surrounding suicide and offers actionable steps to support individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Launched earlier this year by Leeds entrepreneur Ellie MacDonald, HelloHope provides mental health and suicide prevention training for businesses, communities, and individuals. The organisation also campaigns for greater awareness and is committed to reducing stigma, helping people speak freely and access the support they need.

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 50 and anyone under 35 in the UK. Recent ONS statistics show that 6,069 deaths by suicide occurred in 2023, the highest since 1999.

The Community Interest Company was established following Ellie’s personal experience of losing her father to suicide when she was just four years old in 1989.

Ellie MacDonald, founder, CEO, and lead trainer of HelloHope, comments:

“It took over 30 years for me to understand the impact of my dad’s suicide. No one talked about it, and sadly, the stigma still exists today. Suicide remains a leading cause of death, yet prevention efforts are minimal. I spent two years sourcing the best training and set up HelloHope to provide essential, lifesaving training to empower ordinary people and help make a positive difference.”

The theme for this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day is ‘Changing the Narrative on Suicide,’ and HelloHope is encouraging everyone to start conversations about the issue.

Ellie adds:

“HelloHope aligns perfectly with this year’s theme. I believe in focusing on hope and changing the narrative and stigma around suicide. Our guide of hope offers practical steps to support loved ones, colleagues, or even strangers who may be struggling, from simply checking in on someone to providing a list of resources to help them.”

The guide includes contact information for organisations that can assist in supporting someone with suicidal thoughts, along with helpful advice for workplaces, communities, and self-care tips.

Psychiatrist or Therapist – Who Should You Turn to for a Better Life?

Lindsey Benson — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 00:39:55 +0000

Many people want mental wellness and a better life and may find themselves at a crossroads, wondering whether to seek the expertise of a psychiatrist or a therapist. This decision can seem daunting, given the numerous mental health services available today. However, understanding the nuances between these two professions can illuminate the path to choosing the right support for your needs. Here’s some food for thought as you try to figure out the right approach. Our goal? To give you the knowledge to make an informed decision for your mental health needs.

Understanding the Basics of their Education and Training

The fundamental difference between psychiatrists and therapists lies in their education and training. Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who have completed medical school and a residency in psychiatry. This extensive medical training equips them with the ability to prescribe medication, conduct physical exams, and understand the unique interplay between physical and mental health conditions.

On the other hand, therapists — encompassing psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and marriage and family therapists (MFTs) — typically hold a master’s or doctoral degree in their field. They specialize in providing talk therapy and other modalities like EMDR but cannot prescribe medication.

If your mental health concerns are intertwined with physical symptoms or you believe medication might be beneficial, a psychiatrist’s comprehensive medical background could be invaluable. Conversely, if you’re seeking to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in depth, the specialized training of a therapist in psychotherapy techniques might be more aligned with your needs.

Specialized Treatment for Complex Mental Health Issues

When navigating complex mental health issues, the expertise of a psychiatrist can be particularly pivotal. Conditions such as severe mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and those requiring close medication management benefit from a psychiatrist’s medical approach. Their ability to integrate treatment plans that include pharmacological and therapeutic interventions caters to those with multifaceted diagnoses, where medication is a cornerstone of effective management. This is not to overshadow therapists’ significant role in providing support for these conditions through psychotherapy.

However, for those whose conditions necessitate a biological treatment component, be it through medication or a combination of medication and therapy, a psychiatrist’s role becomes indispensable. Imagine, for example, someone seeking a local psychiatrist in Katy TX, Athens GA, or Shreveport LA, for severe anxiety disorders. In such cases, a local psychiatrist’s ability to prescribe and manage medication while potentially collaborating with a therapist for concurrent psychotherapy can offer a holistic approach to treatment. This dual approach can optimize outcomes for individuals facing more severe or complex mental health challenges.

Medication Management vs. Talk Therapy

The choice between a psychiatrist and a therapist often hinges on the nature of your mental health needs—specifically, the potential role of medication in your treatment. Psychiatrists, given their medical training, are uniquely qualified to prescribe and manage psychiatric medications. They can diagnose mental health conditions, assess how these conditions might be related to physical health issues, and determine whether medication could be a practical part of your treatment plan. This capability is particularly pertinent for conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, severe depression, or anxiety disorders, where medication can play a crucial role in management.

While they cannot prescribe medication, therapists excel in providing various forms of talk therapy. These therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and family therapy, offer a platform to work through emotional and psychological challenges. For individuals grappling with life transitions, relationship issues, grief, stress, and mild to moderate depression or anxiety, talk therapy with a therapist can be among the most beneficial forms of therapy.

The Depth and Duration of Treatment

The journey through mental health treatment varies significantly between psychiatrists and therapists, not just in approach but in the depth and duration of care. Psychiatrists, due to their focus on medication management, might offer shorter, more frequent appointments initially, especially when adjusting medication. These sessions are more clinically oriented, with the primary aim of monitoring prescribed medication’s effectiveness and side effects. Over time, appointments may become less frequent, focusing on maintaining stability.

Therapists, in contrast, offer a different kind of depth through longer, typically weekly sessions that provide the time and space to explore personal issues deeply. This setting is conducive to developing coping strategies, understanding patterns of behavior, and working through emotional pain. The therapeutic relationship itself — built on trust, understanding, and empathy — becomes a healing tool. For those seeking to understand the root causes of their distress and to learn long-term coping mechanisms, therapy offers a journey of self-discovery and healing that can profoundly impact one’s quality of life.

Many find that a combination of both psychiatric and therapy services provides the most comprehensive approach to managing their mental health. Remember, the journey toward mental wellness is as unique as the individual pursuing it.

Bed Expert Reveals Cotton Flannel Sheets are the Key to Your Best Ever Winter Night’s Sleep

Lindsey Benson — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 09:57:00 +0000

As energy costs rise and temperatures plummet, experts have revealed the key to the best winter night’s sleep – and it costs next to nothing.

With the cost of gas and electricity at an all-time high, staying warm at night while maintaining sleep quality is a challenge for many. And although reaching for the thermostat is a preferred option for some, it’s one of the worst things you can do when it comes to your sleep. Not only does it cost a lot, but it also dries out your skin, causes coughs, and interferes with your body’s sleep-wake cycle.

So instead of cranking up your heating, experts from John Ryan By Design have revealed that the key to getting the best sleep in these winter months is cotton flannel bedding.

Your sleep-wake cycle is regulated by your body’s circadian rhythm. As a part of this cycle, your body temperature should lower when preparing for sleep. Having the heating on can interrupt this cycle, making it harder for you to drift off. To avoid this, you should aim to keep your bedroom temperature around 18.5 degrees Celsius.

Having a bedroom that’s chilly may not sound appealing, but when coupled with cotton flannel bedding, it can help to create the perfect environment for a great night’s sleep in these colder months.

Ryan Kerr, one of the experts at John Ryan By Design said:

“Flannel sheets are often made from brushed cotton which means they have increased insulation properties while still being breathable. Due to their thickness and breathability, cotton flannel sheets trap body heat helping to keep you warm without running the risk of overheating. Having a regulated temperature during the night helps prevent sleep disturbances and leads to you feeling more well-rested.”

Cotton flannel bedding is also considerably more cost-effective than other bedding materials which makes it the perfect bedding option if you’re feeling the financial pinch from the cost of living crisis.

Alongside flannel bedding, another great way to regulate your sleep temperature year-round is by opting for natural fibre mattresses.

Ryan added:

“Natural fibre mattresses are the best option available when it comes to year-round temperature control. During colder months, they retain a small amount of your body heat which helps keep you warm. However, during the summer, natural fibre mattresses absorb your sweat as you sleep, speeding up your body’s cooling process.”

Transformational Coaching: The How & Why

Lindsey Benson — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 13:24:08 +0000

The field of personal and professional coaching has grown significantly in recent decades.

While coaching used to be the preserve of top executives and famous sportspeople, these days it’s not uncommon for people from all walks of life to have some kind of coaching support system.

From relationship coaches and health coaches, to creativity coaches and spiritual coaches – there is a vast and growing range of niches that can help people enjoy happier and more successful lives.

Within all these broad subjects, however, there are some foundational aspects of coaching that have come to inform how all these practitioners help and support their coaching clients.

For example, for those at the top of their game, the field of High-Performance Coaching is one popular approach.

Another type is the deep and transformative approach to coaching known as Transformational Coaching.

What Is Transformational Coaching?

As the name suggests, Transformational Coaching is an approach to supporting individuals that goes beyond mere goal-setting or self-improvement.

The core of Transformational Coaching is a system of practices that help people to uncover the deeper aspects of their challenges or goals. Whereas sport or business coaching may focus on results and outcomes, the role of Transformational Coaching is to go deeper than surface goals and external metrics.

An example of transformational coaching is helping an individual gain a new – and transformative – understanding of why they experience certain patterns of behaviour, or why they pursue certain goals in the first place.

This type of coaching is also sometimes referred to as Transformative Coaching, which goes some way to explain the kind of results clients can experience and expect from working in this coaching modality.

The results of Transformational Coaching can often literally be life-transforming, as they help the individual to see both themselves and the world around them in a whole new light.

The shifts and insights experienced during Transformational Coaching can alter the path and trajectory of a person’s career and personal life significantly.

The Benefits Of Transformational Coaching

Working at these deeper levels of transformation can deliver a number of powerful and positive benefits.

• Long-lasting transformation

Once a person has become aware of certain behavioural patterns or subconscious conditioning, these results are permanent. Although clients may require ongoing support to work through certain ingrained patterns and habits, becoming aware is not something that can be reversed, and so these transformative insights are long-lasting results.

• Deeper meaning and satisfaction

While there is certainly a role for goals-based coaching and the pursuit of external markers of success, it’s also true that often these surface goals don’t deliver the happiness that was expected. With Transformational Coaching, the work addresses deeper levels of purpose and satisfaction so that individuals pursue the goals that are truly meaningful to them.

• Understanding & Self-Awareness

After working with a Transformational Coach, individuals gain a more enlightened understanding of how they operate ‘on auto-pilot’, i.e. why they do the things they do. This new level of self-awareness and understanding can help people to spot such patterns in all aspects of their lives, from relationships to health and lifestyle issues.

Why Become A Transformational Coach?

It’s clear that a great many people would benefit from support from a Transformational Coach, and this is why it’s such a rapidly growing sector of the coaching industry.

Training to become this type of coach is a great way to help people enjoy a deeper understanding of their behaviour, with a view to creating more successful and meaningful lives. As such, becoming a Transformational Coach and be a highly rewarding vocation for those who feel called to help others transform their lives at this deeper level of purpose and satisfaction.

There are also many other benefits to entering this field. The training itself will help you develop a clearer sense of your own patterns, behaviours and psychological conditioning. This aspect alone can be highly transformative for the coach, even before they have served a single client.

It can also benefit your personal relationships, as you develop improved skills in understanding human behaviour and why people face the challenges they do.

These types of skills can also be a tremendous asset in any career area, whether in business management and leadership skills, or simply learning how to get on better with clients, co-workers and customers.

How To Become A Transformational Coach

If this fascinating and rewarding field of coaching appeals to you, the route to becoming a great Transformational Coach is to start with the right training and accreditation.

Fortunately, the effectiveness of this blossoming branch of coaching means that there are many excellent training providers who can help you develop your skills and establish a highly rewarding Transformational Coaching practice.
