One thing I do know is that we are fortunate to be here and we're here to try and better ourselves and to be good.

Try and benefit others, animals, the whole of the earth, as much as you can. And in that space, challenge yourself to find what it is you can bring about through your life's work.

For me, gratitude only brings positivity. As simplified as it sounds, I think that is key.

I've been a vegetarian for a while now and I try to give my body plenty of what it craves.

Yoga is really big - I'm actually a certified teacher, although I've never taught classes at a studio. I really find myself drawn to more traditional styles.

It's a fact of life that how you dress affects how you are perceived and whether your contribution to a meeting is registered as worth listening to. It was most alarming the way people's attitudes changed when I started wearing my designer suits to committee meetings. Obviously, it's not just the clothes that count; you have got to have something worth saying. But it si true that some people's views are dismissed before they speak because others perceive them as just a secretary!

I guess I also see meditation as part of healthy living. It definitely is important for me to find some mental stillness.
