Happy home, happy life

There's an interconnected relationship between your home, your peace of mind and what's showing up in your life, believes design curator Kimberly Garner. Once you recognise this, you can become empowered to create a living environment that encourages your overall happiness. In other words, your home can help you feel happier and move you closer towards the things you desire.

But how? Think of home as your three-dimensional vision board, suggests Garner, because in essence that's exactly what your home offers. 'Every vision board begins with an intention and the understanding that, when our ideals are visually reflected back to us on a regular basis, they eventually manifest into form,' she explains. 'Our home offers a similar canvas - it's just a matter of consciously aligning our space with our values and intentions. Something in your life shifts when your home reflects the values, intentions and aspirations you hold dear.'

The strange comfort of CRIME

Scroll through any streaming service or podcast chart and a clear pattern emerges. Murders, disappearances, wrongful convictions, cold-case investigations, genteel English villages hiding deadly secrets. Whether it's forensic documentaries, courtroom dramas, investigative podcasts or cosy mysteries set in picture-perfect communities, crime stories dominate our cultural landscape.

SPEAKING VOLUMES without saying a word

A soft smile. A shift in tone. The way someone leans in — or pulls away. These are the signals we absorb long before language forms, and they stay with us for life. While we often focus on finding the “right words,” much of what we communicate — and understand — happens silently.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO WITH THE FLOW?

I'm groggy as my alarm goes off hours earlier than usual. Still, this is to help myself, I think, as I roll out of bed. I head with my husband to the swimming pool, just in time for it opening. It's surprisingly busy, and for a moment I feel a little smug, being here at 6.30am, starting my day with movement. Yet while I enjoy slipping into the cool water and swimming some lengths, afterwards I find that I'm tired out for the rest of the day.

How a USELESS CORNER OF MY HOUSE changed my life

I do this brilliant thing every morning that's low key changed my life: I go and sit by the window. Stay with me! I used to just roll over in bed and dive straight into the chaos of my phone, and as irresistible as it was, it was starting to make me feel miserable. But every effort to simply stop grabbing it failed spectacularly, because the habit was too deeply ingrained.
