Creating a sustainable self…podcast link

How can we do the work to look after the planet if we don't look after ourselves?

Listen to a podcast I recorded with ‘Building Sustainability’.

“Many in our industry burn out, because they are so focussed on doing the much needed work in advancing sustainability in the built environment that don't stop to notice whether they have sustainability within themselves. I know this from personal experience and have observed it in many of my colleagues.

Ayurveda teaches us to nurture and nourish ourselves. This then gives us the basis to then help others.

"Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs. Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance."
