Welcome
EDITORIAL
Editor Sophie Scott
I have a confession to make; I'm an
adrenaline junkie. I don't paraglide,
skydive or base jump (heights clearly
aren't my thing) but, truth be told,
I'm always looking to get my next fix
- cortisol. I'm the person packing for the
plane just as the cab arrives; the one
who over-fills my days. Being 'busy' has
become my 'get out of jail free' card when I
can't (or don't want to) do something.
According to recent studies, Christmas has become Stressmas. But when
your anxiety levels top out in the shopping queue, have we taken things too
far? Alongside the boozing, scoffing and socialising this festive season, I plan
to use my downtime for some quiet reflection - to consider my personal and
professional goals for next year and beyond.
The art of visualisation and creating inspiration boards for how you'd like
your life (and the wider world) to look is a powerful exercise.
However you spend the last days of 2017, take the opportunity to get off
the hamster wheel you've constructed for yourself and rethink your fix - so
collectively we can charge forward to a bolder, happier and healthier 2018.

never visited before.
Based in rural Sweden,

should live in the country.
A hypnotherapist at

on how to have a quieter
mind and live a calmer life.
Our chief sub editor also
