Everyday Value

We are entering the fourth month of the year and with it possibly leaving a long year of restrictions behind us. And with it, we are hoping to find our feet firmly planted on the road forward, adapting to the signs of the times, ever looking to making changes for the year ahead. Much has been written and said about self-care, a topic which will be paramount and at the forefront also going forward as we have learned, without it, there is no future. We are the ones in charge of our lives.

For better health, strength, focus and ability to stay flexible, I suggest reviewing a very basic need, again and again, the quality of sleep. During our sleeping hours the brain and body reset, gathering strength for more ease and better stability. What’s more pleasant than a good night’s rest, but so often the night is devoid of it. What can be done to better this? I always say, the bed is the most important investment in a home, more important than a snazzy car, tv or sofa.

 I therefore like to invite you to revisit your bedchamber. It starts with the colour on the wall, is it free from toxic components? We breathe these particles every night. Air pollution is not our friend. The colour chosen has of course an emotional impact, also perceived by our subconscious, so a warm, soothing tone supports relaxation and a rest. 

What about the carpet? An all-natural version such as wool, bamboo or seagrass for example is a good choice. But a natural wooden floor is always a winner as it is easily kept clean from dust and what-nots. Another important well-being factor is pleasant, calming light, offering a rescue from the strains of the day. Good light heals the soul, it invites a feel-good sensation, soothing from the strains of the day.

Let’s move to our bed. It should ideally have a good pocket sprung mattress, containing only natural fibres. And of course, not just the materials used but the construction and layering of components play a vital part. A bed needs to give perfect spinal support for deep restorative sleep, which is achieved through the way the various materials are layered, building the optimal density for a relaxing nights rest. A bed supporting the body also eases the mind and all in all, a good bed should make the body feel weightless, as if floating. This means, the entire body weight is evenly distributed with the spine getting maximum support to relax and for the discs to be able to separate so toxins can be released, a vital requirement for maintaining revitalisation during sleeping hours. All in all, beds made from 100% recyclable materials coming from nature, want to return to nature and that is how it should be, ultimately a win, win for all.

There is a reason why I passionately support the effort to make the bed the most valued investment from whatever budget one starts. A good nights’ sleep is simply our best friend. Lets’ make an easy change for the year ahead, let’s get top notch sleep for better all-round wellbeing, sleep well, let life flow, be happy!
