How do you Mind Your Melon?

I love swimming – specifically sea swimming.

I also love going for walks & hikes and getting fresh air – it helps clear my head and helps me ground myself.

Giving myself a break and allowing myself to ignore my responsibilities for the evening so I can fully relax with a fluffy blanket, all of the pillows in the house, fairy lights and a lit candle.

I go for a walk in my local park and the beach and focus on my breath and be very present in the moment and try not let my mind drift

Deborah

How do you Mind Your Melon?

Going for regular walks is a great way to clear your head. I usually go first thing in the morning, it wakes me up and sets me up right for the day ahead.

I find it’s really important to get out of the house, especially on days when you don’t really feel like it. Even if it’s just a short walk, being somewhere new can be really refreshing.

Liam

How do you Mind Your Melon?

Sit and listen to your mind and your body. Take even just 5 minutes in your day to just sit with yourself and see if you need anything, even as simple as a cup of tea or a good chat!
