Mindful wellness
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Our evolutionary conditioning means we have a greater tendency to focus and dwell on negative situations as a way of protecting ourselves from potential threat. We’ve had our fair share of negative happenings over the past few months and, because evolution values survival over happiness on a ‘better safe than sorry’ basis, we may feel more tuned in to this negative bias at the moment.
But better times are ahead and, this month, we’ll begin to reverse this bias and switch to a more positive outlook, using mindfulness. Let’s get the good vibes flowing!

Feeling anxious about events outside of your control? Try adding CBD oil to your daily tea ritual. ‘Studies* show that CBD oil has a stabilising effect on mood, lessening feelings of anxiety,’ says nutritional therapist Alix Woods. ‘It indirectly stimulates the serotonin “happy hormone” cannabinoid receptors, which are the same receptors that antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications target, but without the side effects.’
