SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SUPPORTING BENEFITS OF MEDITATION AND YOGA - As Arjun immersed himself in the practice of meditation and yoga, he became increasingly curious about the scientific research supporting their benefits. He discovered a wealth of studies that validated the positive effects of these ancient practices on mental and physical health. 1. The Neuroscience of Meditation: Modern research in neuroscience has shown that meditation can have profound effects on the brain. Studies using brain imaging techniques have found that regular meditation practice can increase the density of grey matter in regions associated with memory, learning, and emotional regulation. Meditation has also been shown to reduce the activity of the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, leading to decreased stress and anxiety. 2. The Physiological Benefits of Yoga: Yoga has been extensively studied for its benefits on physical health. Research has demonstrated that yoga can improve flexibility, strength, and balance. It has also been found to lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, and enhance cardiovascular health. Yoga’s emphasis on mindful movement and breath control is believed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing the effects of stress. 3. Mental Health and Well-being: Both meditation and yoga have been shown to have significant benefits for mental health. Studies have found that these practices can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being. The practice of mindfulness, a key component of meditation, has been shown to increase emotional resilience and improve cognitive function. 4. Stress Reduction and Resilience: Meditation and yoga are effective tools for managing stress and building resilience. Research has shown that these practices can lower cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone, and reduce the inflammatory response associated with chronic stress. By promoting a state of relaxation and enhancing emotional regulation, meditation and yoga help individuals cope with life’s challenges more effectively.

Well, here we are. It has been quite a ride, many ups and downs, but way more good times than bad. I need to thank all of my sales managers, sales directors, general managers, regional and country directors, at the last count around 8,6,9,7 and 5 respectively, for their constant help and support. The countless members of the service and production teams for putting up with me and not moaning too much whenever I dropped the ball. All of my sales colleagues past and present, way too many to mention, for their encouragement, advice, piss taking and support, this job would have been impossible without you. Being now 60 years old, I feel this job is no longer for me, however if I were just 10 years younger, Elis would be the very best company for me to work for. The 35 year old me would be buzzing, the service we offer today is far far better than it ever was and what I believe is planned for the future will keep us at least 12 months ahead of any competition, like it has always been. To the members of the service team who may not agree 100% with that last comment, remember how many customers your plant services and how many customers actually complain in any given month. It is such a small percentage, far more customers are happy with us, they just don't have the time to call you to tell you so. When I joined Sunlight there were big walls between the departments, sales never talked to service, production never talked to sales and transport never talked to anyone. Over the years we have knocked those walls down and we are so much better for it. My advice to everyone is for you all to keep talking. Especially my newer sales colleagues, your service team colleagues are a goldmine of information, so make them your best friends. A box of biscuits at Christmas or a round of ice lollies in the summer go a long way. With that I'll say goodbye. We are off travelling. See you later.

Congrats to my dad (Tim Barlow) on 30 years at the same company- that’s very rare in this day and age. He’s taught me a lot in life but here are a few thing’s that stick out to me at the moment. 1. Do one thing everyday of your life that scares you. True growth happens when you are out of your comfort zone. 2. When you tell someone that you are going to do something, do it: when you inevitably make a mistake because we are human, take accountability for it and don’t let it happen again. 3. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Work hard where you are at and God will handle the rest. 4. The harder you work - fhe “luckier” you get. 5. Underachievers can’t stand overachievers and overachievers can’t stand underachievers. 6. The difference in the person at the top of the leaderboards every month and the person at the bottom of the leaderboards every month boils down to their mindset and discipline. 7. Whether you think you can or think you can’t - you’re right.

It is the UAE consensus.” 🌟 Today we made very important ADVACEMENT! #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #UniteActDeliver #togetherforourplanet #togetherwecanmakeadifference #HighLevelChampions #JLL #JLLMENA

A historic milestone today in Dubai. The UAE consensus is the first-ever climate deal on fossil fuels. Could have not been achieved anywhere else. I am once again amazed by the UAE’s leadership, its global convening power, long-term vision and ability to deliver. #cop28 #dubai #climatechange #difc #sustainablefinancecatalyst

Focused and driven, working towards excellence every day at BHSR.

This marks a moment of global solidarity for collective action. The UAE Consensus has been passed. The text recognises the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions if humanity is to limit temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. Together we can redefine economies to achieve a paradigm shift within planetary boundaries.
