Description
Would you like to have more energy? Perhaps you yearn for a better night's sleep? To be able to relax, better able to manage stress and anxiety? Maybe you are looking for simple things to keep your back and joints happy, or to support your digestive system? Whatever wellbeing means to you, among these pages you will find 366 health and wellness tips and techniques to bring ease and balance to mind, body and soul. Tried and tested, these are simple, effective and practical techniques I know bring wellbeing benefits, drawing from my 30 years of yoga practice and personal development in the field of complementary and holistic therapies.
This book has been in my mind for many years. As a copious and diligent collector of all things wellbeing, I was inspired to collate my wisdom during the Covid-19 lockdowns. I have always felt it important to share what I learn, so I decided that one way I could help my yoga students and Facebook followers was by posting a wellbeing tip every day we were locked down - sharing the things I was doing myself to stay well during this time. These tips went down very well. I received many messages of thanks and, more importantly, messages telling me how much the tips were helping people. It was this feedback that provided the push I needed.
Each day I offer you something to try or consider, or a small lifestyle tweak you might be inspired to try out, making a positive difference to you and your world. As a practical person, if something doesn't work, I can't see the point of doing it, so you can be assured the wisdom I share is practical and effective, and more importantly yields many health and wellbeing benefits. My wish is that this book becomes a trusted and encouraging companion as we flow with grace and harmony through the seasons. This is a book to help you through every day.

Person
Hi, My name is Isabel Carter, I live in the beautiful coastal town of Batemans Bay in NSW.I originate from the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland and came to Australia over 30 years ago and have never looked back! I love it.I am a mother of three grown boys, it's been challenging as I have raised them alone. From the age of two I aspired to be a nurse and achieved my dream qualifying as a Registered Nurse in Oxford in the UK over thirty years ago.Most of my nursing career has been spent in theatre assisting surgeons and dealing with many critical dilemmas and incidents. I was also a tutor to nursing students later in my career. Imparting the gift of knowledge has always appealed to me, it has also allowed my passion of telling stories to thrive. Death has been a daily part of my life as a theatre sister and dealing with relatives of the deceased and dying- everybody has a story.Crime has always fascinated me as have the reasons and emotions surrounding the victims and perpetrators. I was fortunate when a student nurse attending a three-month stint in psychiatry to stay in the home of Agatha Christie in Wallingford in England. It was inspiring for me to think I slept in the room where the great lady of crime had lived and created her stories. During the time working at the local psychiatric hospital a murder was committed. It was compelling and dramatic, and I have always wanted to write a story around this incident. I have always loved to tell a story and now I have the time to do so. Weaving the experience I have had into creating the characters and situations they find themselves in.Adding an Australiana flare to the dialogue with a mixed bag of race, culture and religion within the characters there is an honest account of observations I have encountered.If you love crime as I do, then I certainly hope you will enjoy reading my first crime novel. 'Down in The Devils Hole'Now currently adapted to a podcast starring Iain Glen as Detective John Macgregor, with Voyage media.
