We’ll be back at Ayrshire College for Staff Health and Well-being Days across all three campuses, marking a decade of partnership and our thirteenth event together. 🔥🎉

Last time, staff said they’d like more sessions, longer sessions and for them to be available at other campuses. 😮

So that’s exactly what’s happening, after staff told us they felt energised and closer to their team when they went back to work.🙏

This time, they’ve chosen our Minutes to Calm sessions.

These sessions help staff release tension, develop self-compassion and regain a sense of control.

It’s a deeply restorative session designed to create a meaningful pause that supports mental wellbeing and sustainable performance, chosen by forward-thinking, people-centred companies including Citi, SSE and Virgin Money.👏

And of course, it’s a lot of fun too!😀

Let’s bring more joy, energy and simple yet profound tools to your team to help people feel calmer, more connected and better equipped to thrive at work.

Let’s create change through joy!

"When I am old, I will wear purple."

Meet my funny, kind, and mischievous neighbour, Helen, who's the epitome of the famous poem.

It's always an absolute joy to chat with her. 🤪

She's normally sitting in her front garden on a big blue sofa carried out from her flat, holding court with all of us who happen to be walking past in the West End of Glasgow.

You are lucky if you get a chance to talk to her on your own!

She has such a contagious laugh. Every opportunity she gets to crack a joke about what you've just said, she takes it.

Her husband, David, on the other hand, saves his stock jokes to tell in between the banter.

She is a born uplifter, retired but still volunteering in the hospital dementia ward or giving out food at the local food bank.

I've lived here for years and used to just say hello with the usual niceties as I walked past.

Then when the world changed - well, we all changed, didn't we?

For me, healing from illness and managing to walk around the block was my heaven, and she was an Angel.

I hope when I grow up, I'll be just like her!🤣

All the happiest research tells us it's our relationships that count the most.

So I hope today you'll take the risk! Drop the pleasantries and go deeper.

For risk is a secret word for JOY-A-COMING.

Who’s someone you admire from your work or neighbourhood and why?

I'd love to hear! Tell me below.😊

P.S David's best joke to date: "This guy is so overjoyed when he gets his first screen acting job. He excitedly tells his pal he's got the part of the Scottish Husband. His pal replies, 'Ach, never mind, next time you might get a speaking part!'"😂😂

I listened to a longevity expert today talking about a little-known 5-second technique that research from Stanford University has shown can help regulate the body's stress response.

It can:

☑ Help calm the nervous system
☑ Help reduce stress
☑ Support healthy blood pressure
☑ Promote better sleep

I was so excited.

Then I realised it's a technique I've been teaching for the last three years. 😊

The wee things are never the wee things and this one packs a a big punch of wellness.

I share with our Joy Academy clan and with staff and participants attending our corporate, charity and council wellbeing programmes because we want the benefits of our work together to last long after the session ends.

💜 I'd love to send you the free video showing you exactly how to use this simple technique.

Join the Joy Insider Bulletin via the link in the comments and you'll get it to your inbox straight away.

As one of our Joy Clan reminded us, "When things go big, go small!" and this is a grand one to learn if things tough or overwhelming just now.

Much love Sharon
