* SPECIAL EPISODE * We’re closing out Mental Health Awareness week with a bonus podcast episode featuring the brilliant Ella Mills.
Ella is, of course, the founder of Deliciously Ella, the plant-based personal blog that has evolved into a global platform and business on a mission to help us eat and live better and make vegetables cool.
Today the Deliciously Ella empire comprises an app, deli, collection of recipe books, a range of plant-based food products and a huge social media community as well as a chart-topping series of podcasts which sees Ella and husband Matt interviewing experts across all areas of wellbeing.
Today Ella is sharing her strategies for good mental health as well as her thoughts on kindness and how its the small things that make a big difference right now…
In today’s conversation she invites us to:
appreciate the headspace that comes with more time and less rushing
look to children as examples of living in the moment
make peace with the fact that life is always more out of our control than we realise
make the effort to mark occasions and special moments
appreciate - and offer - small gestures of kindness
remember that its ok not to be super productive all of the time
but also that we can boost our mental health by working towards something new
ABOUT THE KEEP CALM SERIES - MAY 2020
The Keep Calm, Stay Well series is a collection of bite-sized podcasts from Shelf Help featuring our favourite authors and experts sharing their wellbeing strategies, and designed to help us all find some calm amongst the Coronoavirus chaos.
We want Shelf Help to be a resource to help you guys stay calm, positive and present in these challenging times and so are asking the experts how they are staying well mentally, physically and spiritually.
We’re turning around these interviews pretty quickly from our lo-fi barn in Norfolk BUT these conversations are pure HIGH vibes and packed with useful and inspiring information (and the tech is improving daily so we really appreciate your patience and support).
