Sound Bite 2: Community and Creating Happiness

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature.
In this sound bite I'm reflecting on the idea of community and how our lack of it is changing the way we experience health and wellness. Specifically, I look at the parallels between our disparate lives and our wellbeing, seen most clearly in our experience of mental health. 
I go through the 4 ways that I stay happy on a daily basis and talk about why your happiness and balance needs to come from within first and foremost. It's only when we're balanced and can actually get to a place where little things don't stress us out, that we can really begin to live a lifestyle of consistency. 
I delve into my morning routine as well and discuss the new community that I've just founded, Slow Sundays (on Insta @slowsundays_) to help people connect through movement and wild swimming here in London.
