Calm: Working through life's daily stresses to find a peaceful centre

Product Information

Parts that particularly spoke to me included redefining what success means for you, as opposed to just bobbing along with whatever society tells us we ‘should’ be doing, as well as speaking about the drama and tension within families and how to not let these moments or people control your happiness or affect your stress levels. I also liked the ‘Calm Environment’ chapter, which was an interesting read covering how to make your home emit a more peaceful vibe and encourage good sleep and good feelings. I’m a big fan of decluttering my house and spaces often and it really does help my mood. From bad sides to blurry eyes, Samsung reveals the camera faux pas killing the vibe in social scenarios. London, UK –5th June 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd: Whether it’s proud pets, a picture-perfect sunset or a strong hair day, the nation loves to get snap-happy.

A lot of people going through a thyroid condition diagnosis will feel a sense of grief with it all, and a lot in this book could be used in conjunction with overcoming that period. In today’s always-on world, for many of us it seems impossible to relax, take time out or mute the encircling ‘noise’. It is easy to feel trapped in this frenzied state of mind: we are surrounded by negative stories in the press, weighed down by pressures from work, family life or school and subject to constant scrutiny under the all-seeing eye of social media. As a result, mental health illnesses are on the rise in every age group, and more of us than ever before yearn for silence, peace and calm. Calm for me is less about thought and much more about feeling. It is a stillness that allows my lungs to expand like hot air balloons. It is an acceptance of the noise around me. It is a magic alchemy that might last a second or a whole day, where I feel relaxed yet aware; still yet dynamic; open yet protected . . . ‘Read by Fearne Cotton. This audiobook includes a PDF that features Fearne’s illustrations and exercises. At times while working, she says, she ‘just sort of put this suit of armour on and did it’, but having established her podcast, she has slowly learnt acceptance and discovered how to cope with her mental health battle – something she is still doing. ‘On Monday I drove on the motorway for the first time in four years and I was so chuffed with myself,’ she told White. I particularly appreciated the way in which Fearne speaks about looking after our bodies, as something that should be well cared for and even admired for all it is able to do. She also advocates for embracing all emotions and instead of brushing the negative ones aside and she covers accepting mistakes and life lessons and moving on from regret. Also looking at parenting stresses and being a ‘worrying mother’, a lot of you will likely relate to these chapters too.

Try to cultivate hope in whatever way you can, and don’t think that’s fanciful or some sort of ridiculous notion that has no place in the modern world. We need it now more than ever.’ Be in the moment The study commissioned by Samsung (for the newly launched Galaxy A54 5G) found over half hate having an impromptu photo, as they worry it will capture their ‘bad side’. As many as six in 10 will make people swap places with them if they are on their bad side in a picture. Further to this, UK adults have also said flash makes them feel anxious (22%) and highlights their blemishes (24%).As I’ve mentioned many times before, to me mental health and wellbeing are a big, though not often spoken about, part of being a thyroid patient. When your physical health gets hit as it can do with hypothyroidism, so can your mental health. To convince the UK to go ‘flash off’ and perfect their picture snapping with every shot, Samsung is working with Fearne Cotton, to shine a light on the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G and its awesome Light Boosting capabilities.

And social scenarios are also a cause for concern. In fact, when out and about with peers, over a quarter (27%) of UK adults avoid being captured altogether, for fear of a bad photo. Sometimes you want to just scream, or shout, or be ratty with your partner or your mate. Just forgive yourself, and get over it. Don’t aim to be perfect in this chaos, because it’s impossible. We’re humans, and what we’re going through is really hard – even the level of anxiety and fearmongering that’s out there is hard work. Don’t aim to be calm every day, because you won’t be. It’s impossible. Give yourself a break.’ Keep the hope Working from home means that I need to keep myself motivated throughout the day. Some days are good and some days are pretty crap but that’s what I was expecting when I went self-employed. Every day is not going to go perfectly but as I get used to a routine, it will get better. One of the things that’s helping me throughout the day is a gift I got from my brother and his girlfriend for my last birthday. These are Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Body Mists. For those of you who don’t know who Fearne Cotton is, she’s an entertainer/presenter/radio presenter. She does a lot and she’s been around for a long time as I’ve grown up. These sprays are part of her company’s Happy Place collection and I wanted to do little overview of each one.

You can have the perfect setting for a photo, but without the right lighting the picture might not translate on screen. We’ve all been there where flash has overexposed and ruined a beautiful shot of your mates on a night out or the family stood in front of a sunset . Instead, opt for natural lighting, even in the evenings– with Samsung’s Galaxy A54 5G device, low-light settings show up brighter without the need for flash, thanks to light boost technology. There is no better addition to a photo. When we believe we have a better side or feel insecure about how we look we might worry too much about capturing our best angle and pouting or posing. I say, drop the pout and give your biggest grin as everyone looks best smiling. A happy face equals a happy photo. In conversation with ITV host Charlene White at the event, Fearne spoke about how she came to make such a big life change, and focus instead on her work as a mental health advocate and host of the Happy Place podcast.
