Yet, ironically, proactively cultivating gratitude is one of the things that can actually help us feel\u00a0less stressed.<\/p>\n NHS GP dR RADHA<\/p>\n \nThe science\n<\/p>\n Research has shown that feeling or expressing thanks can actually alter our brain.<\/p>\n The balance of neurotransmitters change; more serotonin and dopamine (feel good chemicals) are produced.<\/p>\n This can be long lasting if we make gratitude a\u00a0regular habit.<\/p>\n We also get a decrease in our cortisol (stress hormone) levels which helps\u00a0lower anxiety.<\/p>\n Being grateful can strengthen the nerve pathways which triggers positive emotion.<\/p>\n \nHow can we build gratitude?\n<\/p>\n Change your words<\/p>\n Instead of seeing something as a problem, try to see the opportunities within it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Journal<\/p>\n Our brains are very receptive and what we read or write can alter our emotional system.<\/p>\n Express it<\/p>\n This will not only make you feel good, but you will also get a positive response from others.<\/p>\n \nHow can we build gratitude?\n<\/p>\n Notice more<\/p>\n Throughout\u00a0your day, try to notice all the things that are going well; has someone opened a door for you, or smiled?<\/p>\n The basics<\/p>\n By being thankful for the small things every day, we are far more likely to be and stay healthy\u00a0so that we can enjoy them.<\/p>\n \nWhat to do\n<\/p>\n Gratitude can lead to\u00a0feelings of optimism, lower our blood pressure, and improve sleep quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n Write down what potential good aspects there are to the things you don\u2019t feel like doing, or even what could be worse about it.<\/p>\n Spend a few minutes writing down three things that you are looking forward to that day, or the good things that have happened to you that day.<\/p>\n Say thank you to yourself for the things you have achieved, or managed to get through and changed that day.<\/p>\n Sales of battery Leon Poultney, a writer who specialises in cars, gives his EV recommendations, and the ones that should be avoided.<\/p>\n Renault 5 E-Tech<\/p>\n Starts at \u00a322,995 for the smaller battery <\/p>\n Available with either\u00a0a 40kWh battery or a larger 52kWh pack, that offers almost 255 miles, the latest, retro-inspired Renault 5 is both a joy to behold and a hoot to drive.<\/p>\n The interior has been lavished with a\u00a0level of detail that\u2019s typically reserved for more expensive cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t 4 min read<\/p>\n \nMercedes-Benz CLA\n<\/p>\n A champion of EV efficiency<\/p>\n It offers a remarkable 491 mile range on a single charge from the 85kWh battery.<\/p>\n It is a technological masterclass inside with the ability to option screens that span the entire width of the dashboard, including an optional display for the front passenger. <\/p>\n Priced from \u00a337,400<\/p>\n \t 2 min read<\/p>\n Porsche Macan GTS<\/p>\n It\u2019s a lot of money to part with, but this is arguably all the car you will ever need.<\/p>\n The \u00a389,000 Macan is a premium SUV that somehow manages to blend Porsche\u2019s reputation for dynamics and sporty driving with everyday practicality.<\/p>\n The 95kWh batteries can go from 10 to 80 per cent in as little as 21 minutes from the fastest public charging outlets.<\/p>\n \nKia EV 9\n<\/p>\n With the business class-style six seat configuration costing a staggering \u00a376,995, it is by far the most expensive Kia ever made, but it backs up its financial demands with a suite of genuinely useful and impressive onboard technology.<\/p>\n MG IM6<\/p>\n It\u2019s fast, goes a long way between stops and charges relatively quickly\u00a0but the interior is bland, the onboard technology is infuriating and the experience is devoid of emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n \nBYD Dolphin Surf\n<\/p>\n All of its gadgetry can\u2019t disguise the fact that performance is weak, even for a typically zippy EV, the\u00a0ride is fussy at slower speeds and it\u2019s not in the least bit enjoyable to drive on a country road.<\/p>\n While good value (prices start at \u00a317,935) for the 200-mile max range, there are more interesting\u00a0options from Hyundai, Citroen and Renault for similar money.<\/p>\n Leapmotor T03<\/p>\n It attempts to wow with tech, much of which hinders, rather than helps.\u00a0<\/p>\n There\u2019s no tangible benefit over mounting your phone to the dash.<\/p>\n Simply an average driving experience, adequate range and slow charging speeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t 2 min read<\/p>\n The kitchen gadgets and products a food editor swears by, all under \u00a325<\/p>\n \nThe kitchen gadgets under \u00a325\n<\/p>\n Victorinox paring knife<\/p>\n It\u2019s comfortable to hold, with a point sharp enough for scoring pastry.<\/p>\n ProCook cast iron pan<\/p>\n For unbeatable\u00a0searing and heat-retention, cast iron is the top choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tesco chopping board<\/p>\n Priced at just \u00a322, I\u2019ve yet to find another board that matches it for sheer value and quality.<\/p>\n \nThe kitchen gadgets under \u00a325\n<\/p>\n Pyrex jug<\/p>\n It is the perfect vessel for blending smooth sauces, melting butter, or warming stock.

Caption: BANGKOK, THAILAND \u2013 OCTOBER 17: A \u201cKT Herbalist\u201d, a Kratom cocktail made from Kratom, coffee and siamese herbs is seen at Teens of Thailand, a bar in Bangkok\u2019s Chinatown on October 17, 2021 in Bangkok, Thailand. In April 2021, the start of Thailand\u2019s third and most deadly wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thai government banned the sale of alcohol in restaurants and bars, crippling the already suffering food and beverage industry. With a lack of government aid and support, some bars have shuttered their doors in hopes of reopening post-lockdown, while others shuttered their doors for good. But six months into Thailand\u2019s most recent lockdown, Niks Anuman-Rajadhon, owner of Teens of Thailand, a gin bar located in a renovated shophouse in Bangkok\u2019s Chinatown, decided that instead of waiting for the government to allow the sale of alcohol again, they would take advantage of Thailand\u2019s recent legalization of Kratom. Kratom is a locally grown herbal drug with mild opioid and stimulant effects and was reclassified from a type-5 narcotic to a legal-to-grow herb in August 2021. While Thailand prepares for a tentative reopening on November 1st, the alcohol ban and curfew are set to continue, leaving business owners questioning if the country can revive its suffering tourism industry.
