Having run a business now for over 10 years, understanding how my mindset can impact my output is something that I love to investigate and tinker with. That being said, there are many times when I feel the emotional drain of running a business, parenting and just general life and no amount of positive thoughts or attempts at mindfulness help. Instead of turning to the normal (not-so-healthy) vices including stimulants such as caffeine and sugar, depressants such as wine, and addictions such as shopping and binging mindless content online, I started to look into the power of herbs to support mental health. Whether these are through supplementation, tinctures supplied by a naturopath/herbalist, or even herbal teas, using herbs to support you throughout life’s sometimes chaotic journey can help your body find balance.

Your mindset is everything. It is the definitive between being a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of person. Seeing the possibility – the opportunity in situations -symbolises that you are open to more; that you are curious and that you have a growth mindset.

You’re familiar with flow, right? The state you find yourself in when you look up at the time to see you’ve somehow lost 2 hours working on a project. Time has gone by as if in a blink of an eye. Also known as deep-work, flow is essentially the result of taking inspired action in a distraction-free environment. You work almost effortlessly and find yourself able to concentrate for longer periods of time, your mood and energy buzzing as you happily bound towards your goals.
