How meditation helps Uni stress
I have been leading some lovely sessions with students from University of Glasgow. Meditation and mindfulness practice can help with the pressures and expectations of student life. As one student shared even in one short practice he noticed the more we feed the anxious thoughts the more the stress builds!

Small Steps Create Big Shifts
It All Begins Here
Confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that you can figure it out along the way.
The key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment; it’s starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action. Whether you’re working toward a personal milestone or a professional dream, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real.
You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more than you know. The road may not always be smooth, but growth rarely is. What matters most is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.
Turn Intention Into Action

I have now had the pleasure of working with Grace Aftercare project twice running 8 week courses for the lovely folks who access this brilliant service. Loud and clear I could hear from all who used Grace what a warm, inclusive and empowering community project it is. Grace is based in East Dunbartonshire.
