With all the negative and angsty energy surrounding us and really ramping up in the past week, my aim is to help support people by reducing some of that nervous tension… there are so many different ways of doing this: humour is one way, and yoga, meditation and breathwork (pranayama) techniques are some of the other ways…
Read MoreBeing in the creative world of advertising, I can see how piling on too much work and stress can be to the detriment of good ideas. Of course we all need a good deadline to light a rocket up our backsides, but there’s a delicate balance between working to a timeline and trying to squeeze in too many things to do in 24 hours.
