How often do you take complete rest? From work, chores, workouts, social media? You may quite easily take rest from workouts a few times a week, knowing that your active body needs the rest, you can physically feel it. But your active mind is just as important although we don’t tune into it as much, we almost ignore the signs and carry on, working at much lower productivity levels. This will catch up with us and can cause long-term health issues, mentally and physically. We d

Mindful Health
Be mindful about your health! Your nutrition, your exercise regime, your mental state… Take notice of every bite, every move, every emotion, every thought.

What is DISC profiling and how can it be used in the workplace?
So what is a DISC profile? It is an assessment that centres around four different personality types: Dominant, Inspiring, Supportive and Cautious.
