I really appreciated this book and know that many other thyroid patients will too. Learning to manage our stress levels can be such a big part of living well with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. From bad sides to blurry eyes, Samsung reveals the camera faux pas killing the vibe in social scenarios. And social scenarios are also a cause for concern. In fact, when out and about with peers, over a quarter (27%) of UK adults avoid being captured altogether, for fear of a bad photo. Following her own share of ‘flash ‘fails’ Fearne Cotton, Samsung Ambassador, Broadcaster, Author and Founder of Happy Place, said: “I’m no stranger to an unflattering photo and know how annoying it can be when bad lighting ruins a photo. Whether I’m trying to capture a picture of my best mates at dinner or a sweet photo of my kids, a lovely moment can be bleached out if you get too flashy. London, UK –5th June 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd: Whether it’s proud pets, a picture-perfect sunset or a strong hair day, the nation loves to get snap-happy.

However, you don’t have to miss out on capturing those beautiful moments and you can start with abandoning the flash all together” Also looking at parenting stresses and being a ‘worrying mother’, a lot of you will likely relate to these chapters too. Read by Fearne Cotton. This audiobook includes a PDF that features Fearne’s illustrations and exercises. As I’ve mentioned many times before, to me mental health and wellbeing are a big, though not often spoken about, part of being a thyroid patient. When your physical health gets hit as it can do with hypothyroidism, so can your mental health.You can have the perfect setting for a photo, but without the right lighting the picture might not translate on screen. We’ve all been there where flash has overexposed and ruined a beautiful shot of your mates on a night out or the family stood in front of a sunset . Instead, opt for natural lighting, even in the evenings– with Samsung’s Galaxy A54 5G device, low-light settings show up brighter without the need for flash, thanks to light boost technology. Try to cultivate hope in whatever way you can, and don’t think that’s fanciful or some sort of ridiculous notion that has no place in the modern world. We need it now more than ever.’ Be in the moment

At times while working, she says, she ‘just sort of put this suit of armour on and did it’, but having established her podcast, she has slowly learnt acceptance and discovered how to cope with her mental health battle – something she is still doing. ‘On Monday I drove on the motorway for the first time in four years and I was so chuffed with myself,’ she told White.I particularly appreciated the way in which Fearne speaks about looking after our bodies, as something that should be well cared for and even admired for all it is able to do. She also advocates for embracing all emotions and instead of brushing the negative ones aside and she covers accepting mistakes and life lessons and moving on from regret. Working from home means that I need to keep myself motivated throughout the day. Some days are good and some days are pretty crap but that’s what I was expecting when I went self-employed. Every day is not going to go perfectly but as I get used to a routine, it will get better. One of the things that’s helping me throughout the day is a gift I got from my brother and his girlfriend for my last birthday. These are Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Body Mists. For those of you who don’t know who Fearne Cotton is, she’s an entertainer/presenter/radio presenter. She does a lot and she’s been around for a long time as I’ve grown up. These sprays are part of her company’s Happy Place collection and I wanted to do little overview of each one. A lot of people going through a thyroid condition diagnosis will feel a sense of grief with it all, and a lot in this book could be used in conjunction with overcoming that period.
