<\/span>Michelle, please share your daily wellness routine with us<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

My day starts early with a really good stretch, then a cup of hot water, lemon and ginger root with the weather so chilly I need to boost my inner fire. I write my morning pages I\u2019ve done this practice for 15 years (essential for my sanity and clarity) a 15 minute meditation. I\u2019ve struggled with a knee injury throughout lockdown, I\u2019m only just getting back into moving, gentle walking and strengthening QiGong to get my joints strong again. I hope to start doing some outdoor swimming once it get a little bit warmer.<\/p>\n

In the morning I use Boost Hair & Bodywash massaging along the meridian pathways with a sisal glove, it really gets my skin tingling then a generous layer of Cherish skin repair serum<\/a>, it\u2019s like an uplifting hug and I\u2019m good to go.<\/p>\n

Breakfast is either smoothie made with nut milk, homemade unsweetened Granola and yogurt or a winter porridge made with cardamon and coconut milk and seed mix, if I\u2019m feeling really indulgent a teaspoon of Almond butter. l love scenting I\u2019m currently using a persian rose oil on my pulse points, I also love Fleur d\u2019orangeur by Serge Luten.<\/p>\n

I try not to leap into work, a few deep breaths to focus. I make a list of priorities it just grounds everything. Music is very important for me it sets the tone of my day,I have a very extensive and eclectic library. Lunch is normally a vegetarian salad with mint or Pu- erh tea, love it and full of antioxidants. I try to drink 2 litres of water so I try to always have a large glass of filtered water at my desk and replenish throughout the day.<\/p>\n

I am pretty tired by the time I get home so a nice soak in Cocoon or Protect bath oil to unwind and dis-engage from work. We eat around 7-7.30. I am to get to bed earlier. I never go to bed with makeup and really enjoy the ritual of cleansing. I also take a quick warm shower and then oil pulling after I cleaned my teeth I have a tongue scraper to get rid of toxins. I got into this practice about a few months ago when I did a 3 day seasonal Ayurvedic and it\u2019s stuck. When I lie down I do some deep breathing\u00a0 and review my day, I try to find gratitude for at least one thing each day and then set a body,mind,spirit intention to dream on.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How do you manage stress\/relax?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

I write, I meditate and do Qi Gong also walking is a great leveller and then of course deep breathing is a marvellous meditation and antidote to stress.<\/p>\n
