Today you get to meet a very special person. Bob!

Are you getting enough sleep? TeeJay's worried many of you aren't.

Teenagers and young people need more sleep than older adults (although the older ones are not getting enough either!)

This week TeeJay explains the importance of sleep and how it affects your school, college and work life, your social life, your family life, your moods, ability to think properly and even your looks! It's called beauty sleep for a reason!

What you put in your body is important. It's the fuel to keep you going physically and mentally.

You can't have the right energy in your body if you fill it with the wrong fuel.

In this episode of The Spark To Your Success TeeJay examines why some foods are not going to give you the right energy and may actually be robbing you of your energy.

You are what you eat but eating sugar doesn't make you sweet!

Being a young person (or indeed young at heart) can be really stressful. There’s so much going on, school work, home work, projects, hormones, exams, social media...the list goes on and on.

Do you ever find it hard to just stop and appreciate the moment you are in, the here and now? Are you too busy thinking about the past? The future? 

Well this episode is exactly what you need. TeeJay is examining mindfulness - living fully, totally and consciously in the present. 

Included in today’s episode are some breathing exercises to get you on your way to mindfulness, away from autopilot and being awake to now.

Magnificent Me!

It’s all about identity this week. Who are you? Not your name, not the labels you’ve been given but who you are in your core.

What other people think about you is just their opinion. You get to decide who you are, who you are not and what you stand for.

When you decide who you are, you can begin to build your Magnificent Me.

TeeJay shares some exercises you can do to grow your Magnifcent Me and lets you in on the two most powerful words in the English Language!

Today TeeJay is on a journey. An actual journey to a country park. 

As well as taking advantage of a sunny day, getting the chance to have some exercise and enjoying a moment of being outside, she’s also on a mission to collect rocks!

She needs the rocks for a project but it soon becomes a metaphor for life.

But then back at base TeeJay’s been told that some kids are going to school carrying bags full of books weighing 20kg! 

Oh boy is TeeJay worried about this - she’s got a solution for you if you’re doing this.

Today TeeJay is looking at the fourth and final pillar of resilience - that bounce back-abilty factor which she’s been examining over the past few weeks.

And the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle is how to manage your emotions, being in control of how you feel and maybe even choosing how you feel - really!!!

How we feel on an hour to hour basis determines the quality of our lives and our levels of fulfilment.

Throughout this episode TeeJay will explain how you can take power and control over your feelings, identify the gifts some of the so-called negative emotions can bring you and build your resilience.
