Planet Mindful magazine brings you eight issues a year of wonderful, friendly advice on how to slow things down, strengthen your relationships and treasure your mental health and wellbeing. Each issue is divided into three sections: Mind & Body, Relationships and Living. We hope you’ll enjoy what we’ve crafted as we bring you the ideas and trends that are longer-lasting and more powerful as tools in keeping you happy.
Welcome… • As we settle into a new year, I’m enjoying the sense of hope that it brings. It feels as if change is within our grasp, and the only thing holding us back is our own self-limiting beliefs.
