- [The Power of Movement](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/the-power-of-movement/): Our bodies are designed to move, but many of us (too many of us) are insufficiently active or not active at all.

An over-excited child trying to tell us something? “Just take a breath”. A frustrated colleague at work? “Just take a breath.” A hysterical loved one? “Just take a breath”. So how exactly does “just taking a breath” bring about a sense of calm? And in the busyness of 21st century living are we in danger of under-utilising the one naturally occurring relaxation resource that is literally right under our noses?

- [Back to Basics with the Breath](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/back-to-basics-with-the-breath/): It is the first thing we come into this world with, and it stays with us until our last day in this world. Yet how much thought or attention do we give to the breath and how we breathe? Breath – a bridge between body and mind There is much that we can learn about our breath to optimise our wellbeing. Much of which is so simple, but could be the difference between a fight or flight reaction to a highly stressful situation and a more thoughtful response to the same situation.

The greatest realisation and respect I have is for the mind, and the role it plays in endurance challenges like this. Physical fitness is of course fundamental, it’s what gets you to the start line, but it’s mental fitness that gets you

- [Why Inclusive Leadership Is Central to Human Leadership](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/why-inclusive-leadership-is-central-to-human-leadership/): For many HR and People professionals, inclusive leadership isn’t a new concept. And yet, across organisations, we continue to see gaps – between values and behaviour, strategy and culture, knowledge and action. That gap between knowledge and behaviour is where inclusive leadership becomes critical. In a world of growing complexity, workforce diversity and on-going uncertainty, inclusive leadership is not a “nice to have” capability. It is a core component of human leadership – and the key to unlocking the performance, engagement and innovation organisations are seeking. Inclusion is not comfortable One of the least discussed, but most important, truths about

And my word for October is Vulnerability… These words act as an additional compass to help guide me, over and above my values. And as Brené Brown’s work shows us, Courage and Vulnerability go hand-in-hand… which is just as well, as this post is about me leaning into both words to share a little about what I’ve been grappling with behind the scenes this year.

At the heart of human leadership is the ability to connect on a human level. Leaders who are open, approachable, and genuinely interested in their teams’ experiences foster deeper trust and loyalty.

It rather surprised me when she turned to me and asked: “Does this feel like work for you?”. Given what I do for work, of course the question was a valid one. However, my honest answer was “No! This is fun :)” … and yet as the evening progressed, I realised this was every bit as much “work” as it was “play”. A large part of the evening was spent

From the ups and downs of politics, ongoing wars, economic and social inequality, the changing nature of work, and transformations being driven by AI, it is essential that we recognise what it means to be human and how to harness humanity to be able to thrive at a time when our very survival feels like it is being threatened.

As I stare at the blank screen, I close my eyes, take a deep breath and reflect inwards… What word first springs to mind?  It’s ‘flow’… now let’s see how this flows from here 😉 I’ve been writing a workshop over the last couple of weeks for a session I’m delivering for a new client of ours.

There’s an honest irony then, to the fact that we almost de-prioritised this post – because it felt like “one too many things” this week… The truth is, there will always be “one too many things” on our to-do lists – so choosing what we do prioritise takes conscious assessment, choice and effort.

We start most of our training sessions and our POINT3 meetings with this question.

Mental health impacts how we think, feel and behave – so it’s central to who we are, how we view the world and everything we do day-to-day, yet, it’s still a conversation that too few people are having regularly.

I like to feel like I’m achieving, and that often comes down to giving each task that I’m working on a greater sense of purpose, and therefore motivating me further to achieve it. I like to use goals to frame my mindset for that period in my life. I really do struggle mentally and emotionally if I don’t know want I’m working towards. For me I always struggled with ‘why’ I would simply get up and go

I’m going to say it, I don’t really like the word.  Goals make me think of something big, brash, looming, intimidating… tantalising and always slightly out of reach. I don’t know when it happened, but my mind links the word “goal” with pressure, pain and struggle. If I set a “goal” and I don’t achieve it – I feel rubbish… which isn’t very sporting of me, but it’s the truth. This, of course is my very, very personal perspective. But it raises the point that even the language we use to help us head towards our dreams can be

Not because of the weather, or the post-festive fatigue; I like this time of year because it’s an opportunity to get back into my routines. Routines are important for me. As much as they might sound mundane or worthy, routines give structure to a life that can otherwise feel overwhelming or in control of me. You’re likely fed up with all the talk of goals and resolutions. Often too much focus is placed on setting long term goals at this

- [Thrive not Survive](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/thrive-not-survive/): WANT, BELIEVE, THRIVE by Sarah Mayo As I sit here with the task of writing a blog on stepping out of your comfort zone, I’m inspired by the words of Napoleon Hill who said “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Just writing and reading these words gives me that excited but slightly anxious feeling in my tummy. It makes me think about those dreams that I want to achieve in life, and the potential discomfort, disappointment and challenge that lies between me and those dreams. How do the words of Napoleon Hill make you

Today it’s been WIFI, or as it turns out, a lack of WIFI. Today I’ve been working from home – something I tend to do a couple of times a week – I’ve been immersed in proposal writing and ticking off the to do list. I live alone and pet free so often my (blooming) loyal house plant is all the company that I have for the best part of a day. Unless, as
- [Meaningful Tech Connections - Part 1](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/meaningful-tech-connections-part-1/): Are we empowered or enslaved by technology? by Sion Stansfield In this blog I could have focused on the wider conversation around digital wellbeing; the stats that tell of our addiction to our devices, the fact we are more connected but seemingly more lonely, than ever before. With so much already out there I wanted to instead tell a personal story… from someone who knows how empowering digital tech can be, but who is still trying to find a balance with it to ensure it is a positive force rather than a negative one. So this is my journey with

Take a moment now to have a think about your typical day. How much of it do you spend sitting? Be honest with yourself.
- [Wakey Wakey](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/wakey-wakey/): Productivity by Nicky Morgan So here’s an irony. I am writing this blog post on “productivity” at 3.15pm on a Friday afternoon – the week after I got back from a week’s holiday. My productivity levels this week, safe to say, have been a little all over the place. But with a commitment to share this before COB, I will endeavour to finish the week on a productivity high… According to a recent study of 7,000 people published in the Harvard Business Review, the 7 skills that are adopted by the top 10% of “super productive” people are: It strikes

- [Move More Mindfully for Mind, Body, Soul - Part 2](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/move-more-mindfully-for-mind-body-soul-part-2/): Every Breath Counts by Nicky Morgan “Mindfulness” as a practice came onto my radar in the mid-noughties. My mum cut an article out of a magazine for me to read – (so safe to say this “mindfulness” thing was going mainstream) – as she thought it could be helpful for me. Mindfulness was apparently a useful tool to help manage anxiety – something I had been a slave to for a while. I went on an 8 week course which started with me staring at a raisin…and ended in a day of silence. For those of you who have been

Motivation is derived from the word motive which is defined as a need that requires satisfaction. These needs could also be wants or desires that are acquired through influence of culture, society, lifestyle, etc. or generally innate.” Everyday we have between, it’s believed, 60,000-80,000 thoughts. Thousands of little seeds that fly through our mind, many gone in an instant. But every now and again one of those thought seeds takes root. We water it a little to see if it is going to

- [FOOD FOR MIND, BODY & SOUL - PART 1](https://point3wellbeing.com/blog/food-for-mind-body-soul-part-1/): Getting the basics right by Sarah Mayo Do you “eat to live” or “live to eat”? I’m sure that when faced with this question, you’re likely to say the first is true – you eat to live. But when life gets busy and we feel the pressures of time, and the other micro-stressors that life throws our way, we might not think so clearly about what we are eating and how important food is for our mind, body and soul. Like many aspects of human behaviour, there are many factors that affect our food choices, including genetics. But in the

The simple acts of regular movement, and regular mindfulness are scientifically proven to make us happier and healthier, more focused and productive… It’s well known that when we move, our body releases chemicals known as the happy hormones – endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, not to mention all the other physiological benefits of movement.

A new year brings with it a blank canvas, a fresh start, and an opportunity for new hopes and dreams to be realised. This inevitably leads to the tradition of setting new year’s resolutions. But new year’s resolutions sometimes get a bad rep – rightly or wrongly – and many of us choose not to set them, let alone go on to achieve them. But why is this? Why

- [Thrive not survive](https://point3wellbeing.com/thrive-not-survive/): When it comes to getting what you want, believing in yourself is everything. It was Napoleon Hill who once said, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”  But let’s face it, dreams aren’t always easy to follow. They can come with disappointments, failure and challenges which make them hard to stick to and follow. However, a positive attitude can have a massive impact on the way we view ourselves and our achievements.  Everyone has a different idea of what they want to achieve or do in life – be it at work, or at home. And
- [Money Matters](https://point3wellbeing.com/money-matters/): Although money can never buy you happiness, it is a necessary part of life. A recent study by Every Day Health showed that more than half (52%) of people get stressed out about financial issues.  Being rich won’t bring you joy, but not having enough money can impact physical and mental health as well as your relationships.  Of course, having plenty of food, shelter and money to buy hygiene products is absolutely essential. But beyond this, those luxury ‘extras’ might be less important than we think. For those of us that do have extra cash squirrelled away, research shows that
- ["Being" with Friends + Family](https://point3wellbeing.com/being-with-friends-family/): Relationships with family and friends are one of the most important ways we can stay connected. Unlike other parts of the world, many of us in the UK limit family time to holidays and special occasions, leaving less time to develop those bonds.  Lots of us apply mindfulness to our everyday lives, taking two or three minutes out to be calm, still and reflective. But true mindfulness isn’t just about meditation, it’s about being truly present in the moment – and that includes family time. In a world with so much going on, it’s easy to become distracted in just
- [Meaningful Tech Connections](https://point3wellbeing.com/meaningful-tech-connections/): Creating a positive relationship with technology Easy access to technology can be a blessing, but it can also be a curse. In this modern, digital world we’re always contactable wherever we are, with different apps and people constantly vying for our attention. While it can help us to stay connected, it can also increase anxiety and reduce productivity. A recent study on smartphone addiction found that a whopping 60% of us feel too reliant on technology, with people spending an average of three and half hours a day on phones. What are the signs of technology addiction? If you find
- [Community Matters](https://point3wellbeing.com/community-matters/): If staying healthy is top of your agenda, you’re probably keen to keep fit and eat well. But according to research by Vivek H. Murthy, former Surgeon General of the United States, isolation and loneliness pose a greater threat to our health than obesity, and their life shortening effects are comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.  Sadly, it’s a real problem for many people living in the UK, with a 2016 study by the British Red Cross and Co-Op showing that more than nine million people in the UK say they always or often feel lonely. In 2018 the
- [52 MINUTES + COUNTING](https://point3wellbeing.com/52-minutes-counting/): In our fast-paced world, we’re always looking for new ways to boost our productivity and performance. For many people, working flat out until we drop seems like the best solution. But in reality, the non-stop method is counter-productive and actually leads to less productivity. Break + Move Regularly Regular movement is essential for keeping the mind bright and active, with experts suggesting people get up every 52 minutes to maximise their performance. Whether it’s making a cup of tea or doing a plank, taking two minutes out is an essential part of your day.  During the working day our minds
- [Sleep Better, Rest More](https://point3wellbeing.com/sleep-better-rest-more/): Anxiety, stress and a busy schedule aren’t just affecting our days – they’re also impacting our nights. A good night’s sleep is vital for our health and wellbeing, but many of us aren’t able to get as much as we need. Research shows that the average adult needs between seven and nine hours sleep every night, with some benefiting from short daytime naps. The clever people at NASA have actually worked out that the optimum nap time is 26 minutes, which has been proven to increase alertness by 54% and performance by 34%. However, sleep therapist Risa Gabrielle says lots
- [Food for Thought](https://point3wellbeing.com/food-for-thought/): There’s plenty of evidence to show that food and wellbeing are closely linked. In fact, studies show that up to 90% of serotonin, or the “happy chemical” as it’s sometimes known, is produced in the gut. Nutritional therapist, Clarissa Lenherr, says a good diet is crucial for maintaining our physical and mental health. As well as improving our gut health and blood sugar levels, getting the right balance of nutrients is important for our mood. The best way to improve our diets are by minimising the amount of processed foods we eat and keeping natural food choices varied and colourful.
- [Every breath counts](https://point3wellbeing.com/every-breath-counts/): Breathing. It sounds easy doesn’t it? After all, we do it every minute of the day. But mindful breathing is about more than staying alive. By being mindful or ‘present in the moment’ MRI studies show that you can actually shrink the amygdala, which is the part of the brain responsible for triggering the “fight or flight” panic response. At the same time, the pre-frontal cortex, which is associated with things like awareness, focus and decision-making, becomes thicker. The more you work out at the gym – the stronger your muscles grow – and the same is true for the
- [Every step counts](https://point3wellbeing.com/every-step-counts/): Humans were designed to move. It’s good for our bodies, it’s good for our hearts and it’s fantastic for our mental health. But in our fast-paced world, we’re not moving nearly as much as we should be. According to the British Heart Foundation Physical Inactivity and Sedentary Behaviour Report 2017, 39% of adults in the UK don’t meet physical activity recommendations, and as many as 13 million people aren’t active at all.  Although exercise can reduce your risk of disease, depression and help to manage stress, we’ve phased it out of our lives through technology, easy transport and office jobs.
- [Remembering your why](https://point3wellbeing.com/remembering-your-why/): No matter how positive we are, there will be days and weeks where life throws us unexpected challenges. It’s how we choose to respond to life’s hiccups that will help us to build our grit and resilience. Always remind yourself that it’s OK if things don’t go to plan every time. You just need to come back, centre yourself and remember why you started the journey. Getting your motivation mojo When it comes to meeting your goals, motivation is everything. It’s estimated that people have between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts flying through their mind every day – many of which
- [Goal Setting For Success](https://point3wellbeing.com/goal-setting-for-success/): Achieving ‘wellbeing’ isn’t a stagnant process, it requires personal growth and commitment. To make this a reality, it’s important that we set clear intentions that give us a real sense of purpose, clarity and focus. Many of us set these goals at the start of each year, because it feels like a new beginning. But whether you’re on a cabbage smoothie diet or becoming an organisational ninja at work, some goals can seem more ‘aspirational’ than achievable. Research shows that 80% of people give up on their new year’s resolutions within two months. After all, there’s a big difference between
- [Our values](https://point3wellbeing.com/our-values/): Our values are the things we hold most important to us. They define who we are as people and as a business, how we work with our clients and partners, and the type of people and organisations we hope to attract to work with us. Wholehearted We put our heart and soul into everything we do. Trust + Respect The relationships we have with each other, our clients and the communities around us are anchored in trust and respect. Meaningful Connections Our hope is to be connected to and to connect as many people as possible through the power of
- [Week Twelve - Thrive Not Survive](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/thrive-not-survive/): We often limit our horizons for fear of failure (or success) but without taking ourselves outside of our comfort zone how will we really know what we're capable of achieving? Rock climb, go to a talk, take a new route into work. Broaden your horizon, open your mind and step out of your comfort zone. Surprise yourself and see how good it can make you feel…
- [Week Eleven - Money Matters](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/money-matters/): Money can't buy you happiness - but how you spend your money can. Studies show us that spending money on experiences, time with loved ones and ultimately "memories" that feed our passions and interests, will leave us with a lasting happiness legacy. Invest wisely!
- [Feed your soul](https://point3wellbeing.com/crescendo-hub/feed-your-soul/): Learning new information or points of view is not only useful for our personal development, but research shows it can also improve our mental and emotional wellbeing too. Learning can boost self-confidence and self-esteem, help build a sense of purpose, and help us connect with others.
- [Sit back + listen](https://point3wellbeing.com/crescendo-hub/sit-back-listen/): For over thousands of years, since the first cave paintings were discovered, telling stories has been one of our most fundamental communication methods.  Our brains become more active when we tell and listen to stories... again a scientific fact. So, why not while away the commute or take some time out with one of our podcasts... and benefit from activating the brain, and learning something at the same time.
- [For your eyes only](https://point3wellbeing.com/crescendo-hub/for-your-eyes-only/): Science shows that reading has so many valuable health benefits, including helping with depression, reducing stress, and the chances of developing Alzheimer's in later life. When we read, not only are we improving mental and emotional functions, such as memory and empathy, but research shows that it makes us feel better and more positive too!
- [Your hub of wellbeing content](https://point3wellbeing.com/crescendo-hub/): Welcome to a new hub of content that we’re curating especially for you folks at Crescendo this June to help educate, motivate and energise you to put your wellbeing first so you’re happy, healthy and thriving at work and beyond.

- [Week Nine - Meaningful Tech Connections](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-nine-tech-connections/): Maybe don’t throw the phone away just yet, but consider setting daily limits on app usage and allowing at least 30 minutes of no-screen activity before bed, to help create head space for other things (including a good night’s sleep!).
- [Week Eight - Community Matters](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-eight-community/): Research suggests that individuals who feel a sense of security, belonging and trust in their community have better health. Take time this week to connect with others and reach out to that person you've been meaning to for a while.
- [Week Seven - 52 Minutes + Counting](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-seven-52-minutes/): It has been proven that the most productive people work for no more than 52 minutes before moving away from their desks. Set a timer then jump to your feet, make a cuppa, do a plank, move your body, awaken your mind and improve your performance.
- [Week Six - Sleep Better, Rest More](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-six-sleep-better/): Those clever people at NASA have worked out that the optimum nap time is 26 minutes - this has been proven to increase alertness by 54% and performance by 34%. What better excuse do you need for a nap?!
- [Week Five - Food for Thought](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-five-food-for-thought/): Up to 90% of serotonin - the “happy chemical” is produced in the gut. Try to minimise the amount of processed foods in your diet and keep your natural food choices varied and colourful. Feed the tummy right and it will help to keep your head happy.
- [Week Four - Every Breath Counts](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-four-every-breath-counts/): Mindfulness is the art of being in the moment, on purpose, without judgement. When we're in the moment we cannot be worrying about what has gone before or what is yet to come. Take time to really be present; during your movement sessions, cooking dinner, drinking your tea or even cleaning your teeth! Make mindfulness a daily practice however you can.
- [WEEK THREE - Every step counts](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-three/): Remember, walking little and often has many benefits. Build up your movement by increasing the steps you take. Ditch the car, get off the bus earlier, take the stairs and go collect that take-away!
- [Week TWO - REMEMBERING YOUR WHY](https://point3wellbeing.com/12weeks/week-two/): We know not every day goes according to plan.
