Tip of the Day: 16.06.2022

If you need an excuse to give yourself some TLC, ponder on the survey carried out by author Claudia Hammond, when writing her book The Art of Rest: How to Find Respite in the Modern Age (Canongate). The people with the highest level of wellbeing in the survey were resting for between five and six hours a day. Not sleeping, resting. And if that sounds a lot, the average woman in the UK has five hours and 29 minutes to spend on leisure activities. That doesn’t mean flopping on the sofa and doing nothing; for some people, cooking or going for a run might be restful.
