GO GO GADGET
UPRIGHT GO

by BERNADETTE RUSSELL

LIGHT WORK
ETEFY

Remember when you were
little and constantly told
to sit up straight? That's
essentially what the Upright
Go is: a wearable posture
pal. This sleek gadget,
worn on the back, vibrates
every time you slouch.

COOL BUT HOT
MANUKA LIFE
Once you've committed
to improving your posture,
you need a reason to hold
your head high. Manuka Life
is a luxury yoga clothing
brand that ensures you
maintain a semblance of
cool, even if your internal
monologue is telling you
you're a sweaty mess.

T

he news is grim. There are
awful things going on all
the time and 24-hour news
means we endure constant coverage
of the very worst human behaviour.
Unless you have access to highly
classified information then it's
unlikely that re-posting any of these
stories on social media will inform
anyone of anything they don't already
know. All it does is contribute to our
collective sense of despair.

MUCH TO CHEER

If you've been putting in
the hard yards in the
pursuit of perfect posture,
you'll need something to
salve those aching joints.
This Performance Protein
powder from Form makes a
nutritious shake, which has
been engineered to help
with recovery and building
muscle. formnutrition.com

AT A STRETCH
HOMEDICS MAT
Too busy to attend your
local weekly yoga class?
Don't fret - this yogainspired back-stretching
mat means you can give
your body a treat in the
comfort of your own home.
Air chambers that inflate
in sequence and emulate
yoga-style stretches help
to release tension and
improve flexibility - just
the tonic for stiff backs.

However, even in the bleakest story
there is always hope: the campaign
getting aid to those in most need;
people risking their lives to save
others; survival against the odds;
innovations that will improve
everyone's quality of life.
Sharing these optimistic stories
with your friends and, indeed,
the wider world is an act of kindness,
as they inspire and restore hope,
courage and faith in each other.
Share your own good news,
too, whether it's a friend who has
raised money for charity or a small
act of kindness you have witnessed.
Spread the good news.
The Little Book of Kindness (£7.99,
Orion Spring) is available now
