Welcome…
There are two things it feels I can never, ever lay my hands on: fresh batteries, and a complete pair of socks. With five of us at home, it seems the need for new batteries is constant and never-ending. TV remote controls; children’s toys; kitchen gadgets: something always seems to be on the go-slow, the telltale sign that means it requires a fresh set. And, frequently, that’s how I feel, too: like someone has left my power switch in the ‘on’ position for too long and now I’m running on empty. I know it’s partly to do with my busy life and partly to do with the past couple of years we’ve all lived through. But, right now, with the days at their longest and the sun here to guide our path, I want to feel fully charged and raring to go. So, this month, we’re turning our attention to how to boost your energy right now. Our dossier (p51) takes a deep-dive into all the things that are secretly draining you, like a TV left in standby (p56), plus looks at ways to supercharge yourself (p60) and how to beat energy vampires (p58).
