Nightmare on Self Street • Nightmares are not an illness in themselves, but frequent nightmares can be debilitating. Importantly, nightmares are signposts to underlying problems and there are ways to alleviate these dark visions of the night.

FEED YOUR AGEING BRAIN • It was canaries that first showed us that adult brains have the capacity to grow new neurons. We now know that human adult brains can do the same, but if you want to support your brain and keep it “young” while you age, then you need to feed it the right food.

EXTRINSIC V INTRINSIC MOTIVATION • What gets you up in the morning? What sets your wheels in motion? These fundamental questions act as indicators of how we assess and calibrate motivation. Whether it is in sport, work or any endeavour that propels life change, motivation comes in two contrasting flavours — intrinsic and extrinsic. And like vanilla and chocolate, while they taste different, they both satisfy the hunger when striving for success.

YOUR 2026 COSMIC FORECAST • A lot is happening in the stars! Welcome to a new planetary era, friends. The cosmic tides of 2026 invite big shifts in perspective and possibility.
