JOE WICKS ON SIX WAYS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Be Kind

SLEEP IS DEEP
WHY REST IS BEST

PASSION PROJECT
THE HEART RULES
Be as happy as you can be
and make changes if there
are things you can do to
be happier. One thing I
really endorse is to do
what you love. Identify
your passion and find a
way to make it work for
you. The joy that will give
you will be immense.

Sleep more. Most people
underestimate the strong
link between the amount
of sleep you get and your
performance when you
exercise. A good eight
hours' kip will certainly
help you smash your HIIT
the next day.

HYDRATE IS GREAT
MORE WATER
My No1 advice to everyone
is to keep hydrated. I drink
two to four litres of water a
day, which may seem a lot
if you don't usually drink
loads of water, but you can
build it up slowly. Your skin
will be clearer and your
mind sharper. Go on - get
yourself a refillable bottle
and get drinking!

TO
YOURSELF

by BERNADETTE RUSSELL

HALF A WORLD AWAY
BLUE PLANET II
For me, Planet Earth, Blue
Planet and its sequel (now
available on DVD/BluRay)
are my absolute favourite
TV programmes. There's
nothing like sitting down and
immersing yourself in our
beautiful world to help you
escape from the day to day
whirring of your mind.

EXPAND YOUR MIND
HOW I BUILT THIS
PODCAST

ON YOUR BIKE
RICHMOND PARK
One of my favourite things
to do on a Sunday is go for
a long bike ride in
Richmond Park. I meet up
with friends, say hello to
the deer and get to
breathe fresh air and be
outdoors. It's great for the
soul. Cycling is an
awesome way of getting
outside and active, it's
sociable and it's something
everyone can enjoy.

Listen to podcasts,
whatever the subject. Not
only is it a brilliant way of
broadening your mind and
learning new things, but
listening to audio can be
really great and relaxing for
the mind too.

M

y friend Jo, when a little
girl on a flight, once asked
her mum why the air
steward asked grown ups 'in the
event of an emergency' to attach
their own oxygen masks first, as
she thought this seemed mean. But
her mum explained why: you have
to help yourself first, so you are
more able to help others.

MAKE SPACE TO DREAM
This is a perfect January story, I
think. Now's the time to gather
strength your own way. Enjoy
thinking about what went right
last year. Then think about what
didn't go as well as you hoped, but
without blame or anger towards
yourself. Ask yourself how it could
be improved or avoided.
This time of year you should
take time to consider what YOU
need to be happier and healthier.
By all means write to-do lists and
make resolutions, but leave time for
daydreaming, because this is where
the magic creeps into our lives, in
the spaces we create for it to do so.
Take your time. You have plenty.
