5 Good Things: 2025 Monthly Emails
/
Every first Sunday of the month, I send out an email with “5 Good Things” to help you live a little more mindfully.
I share my attempts to take my yoga and meditation practices from-the-mat and out into life, as well as the apps, books, podcasts, products I’ve come across that have helped me live a little more intentionally.
Read a preview of this September 2025 email.
This Month’s Summary:
It’s been a heavy couple of months. Between helping my ageing parents move house in Singapore and navigating all the emotions that came with it, I needed time to pause — and simply get through it.
This month’s email moves between sleepless 3am nights and surprising mindfulness lessons in the gym - turns out yoga nidra and weight training have more in common than I thought.
Inside, you’ll find:
Movement as meditation → how repetition (whether reps or breaths) becomes its own form of focus
Sleep reset tip → my go-to nidra tracks for 3am wake-ups
Science spotlight → Dr. Stacy Sims’ insights on training + recovery for women 40+
Nervous system hack → a 2-minute eye exercise that calms the body when thoughts won’t switch off
Journal prompt → a quick reflection to ground yourself when you feel restless
