In this first Z to A of Life podcast episode of 2026, Jules and Mark explore ways to quieten the mind in order to take control of the important things in your life.
After a busy, noisy festive period, it can be quite normal to feel a bit flat and think, what next? We've had a bombardment of expectation to eat loads, spend loads and party loads and suddenly, we're told to get fit, lose weight and spend more on the next event like January Sales, Valentines Day and then Easter. January can also be a difficult time to get motivated as the winter months seem to be dragging on.
By taking time to switch off your mind, it will help you to silence some of these pressures and focus on short and long term goals plus great habits for the year ahead. A quiet mind allows self-care and compassion.
