About this listen
Have you ever noticed that when you do something positive to your body, your mood lifts too? Our minds and bodies are more connected than you could ever imagine and the latest science is proving just that. In this series, Psychologist Kimberley Wilson explores a range of activities that can help to boost your focus, energy and overall mental wellbeing. And she’ll reveal her easy take-home tips and tricks that you can add to your daily routine to help you get started right away - whether you want to reboot with a nap, take a cold water splash, or reap the benefits of a burst of morning sun.
Before we get started I wanted to let you know that, in this series we’ll be offering practical tips and tricks relating to improving your body, mind and mental health. Please take your own personal health considerations into account before trying any of these and if you are taking medication or have any health conditions please chat to a medical practitioner before proceeding.
Episode 1: Eat A Rainbow
Eating brightly coloured plant foods is having a bigger effect on your brain and mood than you might realise - welcome to the world of nutritional psychiatry.
Episode 2: Let the Light In
Explore the health benefits to your body and your mind by getting a burst of sunlight first thing in the morning.
Episode 3: Think Before you Drink
If you’ve been over-indulging during a busy social period, discover the easy hacks to cut back on alcohol, and be kind to your body and brain.
Episode 4: Reboot with a Nap
Why, if you do it right, a short sleep can restore your cognitive alertness and re-charge your brain to take on the rest of the day.
Episode 5: Walk yourself Happy
Why even a short stroll can have the surprising benefits of reducing anxiety and building mental resilience, especially if you add in green spaces.
Episode 6: Time to Play
By bringing back more playfulness and fun into our lives, we can jumpstart fresh brain connections and help reduce stress.
Episode 7: Harness Your Breath
Find out why taking slow deep breaths is not only good for your physical health but could also boost your cognitive performance and emotional wellbeing.
Episode 8: Feel The Chill

Easy & interesting listening
Very easy to listen to and the episode timing is key to staying tuned in. The 3 hacks at the end are excellent - a clever end to the episode. Like the presenter - her voice is really pleasant and clear. She sounds like she is smiling! Extremely interesting information and easy to understand.
Thoroughly enjoyed.

Worth a listen
A short series of hacks to improve not just your body, but your overall mental health. I enjoyed this information series of short interviews, with discussions of current research and suggestions of how to implement each section. Not all of them may be of interest to everyone but they are all worth listening to.

Good, but nothing new
The book served as a good reminder of how to look after your body and mind. I've read/listened to quite a few of these books and i was aware of everything in this particular book. So a good reminder, but nothing new for me.
