Channel your inner maker
Makers know their way around a tool box and are the first person to be called for a DIY helping hand. As a maker, you like to work with your hands. You have an incredible eye for detail and a caring nature. You might be making big DIY projects like Dick Strawbridge in Cabins in the Wild or delicate art pieces. You feel that sense of accomplishment when a project has finished to your impeccable, high standards.

Architect George Clarke joins the ambitious people restoring historical buildings across the UK. Whether you’re a fellow romantic for large restorations or a cynic, it's amazing to watch derelict buildings such as old pumping stations and schools restored with their historical features and cared for by people who have the passion.
Channel your inner self
Channelling your inner self involves prioritising yourself, understanding mental well being and doing what’s right for you. You are a rooted, self-aware protector for yourself. You know when it's time for some “me time” and aren’t afraid of spending a night in by yourself to rejuvenate. In those times you’ll turn to activities that bring you peace and just like Gok Wan, you know that some TLC goes a long way.
