ABOUT ME

Hello! My name's Danielle, I'm twenty three and currently living in Kent. 
I've created this blog to share local stories surrounding current affairs and to help reduce the stigma that still seems to surround mental health and illness. I wish to encourage others who may be struggling to speak up and not be afraid of asking for help.
I will share my personal tips and scientific evidence in the hope to help others who may be struggling to hold on through difficult times.
Life has its challenges, its highs and lows, but it is rather beautiful and worth living.
It's also a platform for me to share my love for story telling, sharing stories and interviews with others to enable their experiences to be heard.
I wish to help, guide, and reassure others, through sharing advice on how to live happily in a world of chaos.

'POWER IN PILATES' WITH LAUREN RUTHERFORD

Image
EVER THOUGHT ABOUT PILATES? Over the past few decades, Pilates has grown in popularity. A form of exercise that focuses on improving posture, flexibility, strength and rehabilitation post injury. The core is the central focus of all movement. Some forms use mats and others use equipment, including reformer Pilates which provides added resistance. Since it originated, it aims to focus on 6 elements: Concentration, Centring, Control, Breathing, Precision and Flow. It's very similar to Yoga, but traditionally yoga is the practice of connecting the mind and body through breath, whereas Pilates is a system of exercises that emphasise core engagement to promote functional movement of the body.

Despite the benefits of incorporating these styles of training

'LIBERATION IN ART?' WITH SOPHIA GABRIELIDES

Image
"OUR BODIES ARE INCREDIBLE, AND THE POWER OF ART MEANS WE CAN CELEBRATE THIS THROUGH A DIFFERENT MEDIUM." With time at home, jobs on the line and a yearning to combat boredom and anxiety throughout Lockdown, many of us have turned to pastimes to keep us entertained and busy. Sophia Gabrielides has done just that and taken a leap by creating her own small business for her paintings.  But these paintings are more than just an opportunity to express and experiment with her love of art, they are empowering and liberating others. Social media continues to have a huge influence in our lives and it can often be the first thing we turn to when filling time. Despite the positives that come out of these platforms including building connections, they can also cause us to dive head first into unnecessary behaviours and thought patterns.
