Capture the moment you’re in, and think, “Am I OK?” We don’t know what’s going to happen in five or 20 minutes, but in this moment we are OK – if we stop the constant future projection. We aren’t in control, and we’ve just got to go with life and see what happens. That’s literally all we can do.’ Life will be challenging, and that’s fine A lot of people going through a thyroid condition diagnosis will feel a sense of grief with it all, and a lot in this book could be used in conjunction with overcoming that period. I really appreciated this book and know that many other thyroid patients will too. Learning to manage our stress levels can be such a big part of living well with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.
Calm by Fearne Cotton | Hachette UK
In today’s always-on world, for many of us it seems impossible to relax, take time out or mute the encircling ‘noise’. It is easy to feel trapped in this frenzied state of mind: we are surrounded by negative stories in the press, weighed down by pressures from work, family life or school and subject to constant scrutiny under the all-seeing eye of social media. As a result, mental health illnesses are on the rise in every age group, and more of us than ever before yearn for silence, peace and calm. Sometimes you want to just scream, or shout, or be ratty with your partner or your mate. Just forgive yourself, and get over it. Don’t aim to be perfect in this chaos, because it’s impossible. We’re humans, and what we’re going through is really hard – even the level of anxiety and fearmongering that’s out there is hard work. Don’t aim to be calm every day, because you won’t be. It’s impossible. Give yourself a break.’ Keep the hopeCalm for me is less about thought and much more about feeling. It is a stillness that allows my lungs to expand like hot air balloons. It is an acceptance of the noise around me. It is a magic alchemy that might last a second or a whole day, where I feel relaxed yet aware; still yet dynamic; open yet protected . . . ‘ Read by Fearne Cotton. This audiobook includes a PDF that features Fearne’s illustrations and exercises.

To convince the UK to go ‘flash off’ and perfect their picture snapping with every shot, Samsung is working with Fearne Cotton, to shine a light on the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G and its awesome Light Boosting capabilities. However, flash users have been called out as the ultimate vibe killers, with over a third (37%) of UK adults saying they can’t stand the flash, or it makes them feel awkward.

The study commissioned by Samsung (for the newly launched Galaxy A54 5G) found over half hate having an impromptu photo, as they worry it will capture their ‘bad side’. As many as six in 10 will make people swap places with them if they are on their bad side in a picture. From bad sides to blurry eyes, Samsung reveals the camera faux pas killing the vibe in social scenarios. Recognise that there’s a negative side to life and that there will be tough times and challenges. You have to embrace it. We’ve got to find coping mechanisms to help us move with it, and sometimes it’s just acceptance.’ Let anxiety pass through you In conversation with ITV host Charlene White at the event, Fearne spoke about how she came to make such a big life change, and focus instead on her work as a mental health advocate and host of the Happy Place podcast.

Parts that particularly spoke to me included redefining what success means for you, as opposed to just bobbing along with whatever society tells us we ‘should’ be doing, as well as speaking about the drama and tension within families and how to not let these moments or people control your happiness or affect your stress levels. I also liked the ‘Calm Environment’ chapter, which was an interesting read covering how to make your home emit a more peaceful vibe and encourage good sleep and good feelings. I’m a big fan of decluttering my house and spaces often and it really does help my mood. Working from home means that I need to keep myself motivated throughout the day. Some days are good and some days are pretty crap but that’s what I was expecting when I went self-employed. Every day is not going to go perfectly but as I get used to a routine, it will get better. One of the things that’s helping me throughout the day is a gift I got from my brother and his girlfriend for my last birthday. These are Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Body Mists. For those of you who don’t know who Fearne Cotton is, she’s an entertainer/presenter/radio presenter. She does a lot and she’s been around for a long time as I’ve grown up. These sprays are part of her company’s Happy Place collection and I wanted to do little overview of each one. Try to cultivate hope in whatever way you can, and don’t think that’s fanciful or some sort of ridiculous notion that has no place in the modern world. We need it now more than ever.’ Be in the moment The Galaxy A54 5G delivers stunning images with clear quality. For adventures after dark and in low light conditions, say goodbye to harsh flash with Light Boosting technology. Night Mode enables users to capture the brightest and clearest photos at night, using intelligent AI Pixel technology to broaden the camera’s pixel size and capture more detail. With the largest camera sensor yet in a Galaxy A Series device and optical image stabilisation, users can take blur-free photos and smoother videos even in low light environments. Try to avoid letting your inner perfectionist scrutinise every part of the photo. Pictures are meant to capture moments and the best ones are those which show real joy, so don’t feel like you need to be properly posed for every shot. Social media has changed how we take photos and has almost wiped-out un-posed pictures. In my opinion, candid can be the best. Especially if you’re belly laughing.
You can have the perfect setting for a photo, but without the right lighting the picture might not translate on screen. We’ve all been there where flash has overexposed and ruined a beautiful shot of your mates on a night out or the family stood in front of a sunset . Instead, opt for natural lighting, even in the evenings– with Samsung’s Galaxy A54 5G device, low-light settings show up brighter without the need for flash, thanks to light boost technology. I particularly appreciated the way in which Fearne speaks about looking after our bodies, as something that should be well cared for and even admired for all it is able to do. She also advocates for embracing all emotions and instead of brushing the negative ones aside and she covers accepting mistakes and life lessons and moving on from regret.
