There’s so much focus on taking care of the body that many of us forget that spiritual wellbeing is equally important. Practicing mindfulness and other similar techniques can help to provide greater clarity in a busy life.

Be Mindful

Pausing allows you to get in touch with your body and emotions. Notice your thoughts and feelings – and then notice how your body responds to them.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I feeling right now? Am I anxious? Where in my body does that anxiety sit?’

Live with Purpose

  • Know and celebrate your skills and talents
  • Discover your personal values
  • Engage with stories that touch you deeply
  • Seek experiences that allow you to respond soulfully
  • Use every day to fulfil the dream of who you want to become
  • Live your life with clear intention

Make your Mark

  • What legacy would you like to leave through being alive?
  • At the end of every day, reflect on how you have inspired someone
  • We learn by reflecting on our experiences – so make time to reflect
  • Cultivate daily discipline in order to achieve spiritual wellness

5 Tips to Rekindle your Spirit

  • Take time out. Nurture your soul. Walk in the park, visit someone who is lonely, marvel at the night skies lit with billions of stars.
  • Have a ritual. Set aside time to meditate, or listen to uplifting music. Talk to inspiring people. Read books that give you fresh perspective.
  • Keep learning. Learn from your mistakes and celebrate your successes. Commit to your personal growth with programmes like Habit or HeartMath.
  • Know yourself. Your values and beliefs are your guides, and knowing and trusting them will take you where you want to be.
  • Be authentic. Demonstrate your deepest being. Don’t be pressured to fit in with people who don’t resonate with you.

Life keeps throwing us challenges. As we saw with Covid-19, in this globally connected world we are all touched by whatever is happening, no matter how ‘far away’. Resilience is a key quality of those who are best able to respond.

Fully vaccinated? Now what?!

Fully vaccinated? Now what?!

Let’s be clear – there is no quick fix to immediately ‘boost’ your immunity – no ‘wonder supplement’ or ‘power food’ will suddenly strengthen your immune system. However, living a healthy lifestyle does go a long way to keep your immune system strong. This has been found in a recent study showing that exercise may strengthen the antibody response to vaccination – both the COVID-19 vaccines and the annual flu vaccines.

Current News: South Africa and Ukraine

Here in South Africa, there seems to be two active responses on social media to the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One is a sense of outrage and sadness at the disruption and tragic loss of life. The other seems to be an almost flippant expression of gratitude for being far away ‘down south’ from the conflict zone.

What can those two illustrious South Africans, the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and ex-President Nelson Mandela teach us about living with cancer?
In 1997 a concerned world heard that the man fondly known as ‘the Arch’, aged 65, had surgery for prostate cancer. A few years later in 2001, we were again shocked to hear that Madiba, aged 83, had also been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

What COVID-19 has taught us about human connection

What COVID-19 has taught us about human connection

One thing we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic experience is that we are not happy when we are separated from others – loved ones, colleagues and even people we do not know. We like to go to restaurants, coffee shops and just hang around people. Not only do we like it, but the pandemic has also highlighted how we need connection for our mental and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes it seems that it is only when things are taken away, that we learn to appreciate their value and importance.

The pandemic has highlighted the idea of a disease being front and center in all aspects of our lives. However, for someone living with a chronic condition, this has been their reality long before COVID-19 came along, and the pandemic has simply made things worse.
Economic, social and psychological distress is common amongst those living with chronic conditions, such as tuberculosis (TB).

Standing up for yourself and others

Underlying all human rights is a deep respect for human life. There are those passionate people whose daily lives center around defending and upholding these precious rights so that we can all live in a more caring and just world.
