Spring 2022: Together & Strong
Spring 2022: Together & Strong

This season’s letter is dedicated to offering some practical support for those of you struggling – to provide some advice on ways to cope with anxiety and push through, together and strong. I’m sure you’ll join me in sending thoughts and prayers to the people of Ukraine and anyone currently struggling in places of conflict. However, as we know, thoughts, prayers and “good vibes” aren’t worth much – so here’s an opportunity to take some action too so you can practically make a difference (see the end of this letter).

May’s Letter

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results - so why do we keep zipping up the same straitjacket?

March’s Letter

As a society we are continuously perpetuating this narrative of “prepare to compare”; ‘likes’ are now currency for self-worth and validity as to whether your life, social status, and position in the world is “worth it”.

January's Letter

Reflect for a moment on how wildly different your life was at the start of the last decade compared to now. Think about how vastly different you look, how your opinions and values have changed, how your family structure may have shifted, how your thoughts and intelligence have evolved, and how your relationships have cycled. Could you have ever believed back in 2010 how your world is now in 2020 – and how utterly far away and distant that date once felt? Yet here we are, within a blink of an eye we are bigger, older, uglier, more experienced, wiser, smarter, and more discerning.

December's Letter
December's Letter

My advice this month is to remember the special time we get to share every December, to take heed of our behaviours and feelings during this period and to hold onto those values and attitudes for every month and make it a way of living, not just for Christmas. Life and our relationships are what’s magical, not the annual crystalline-snow illusion that capitalism re-activates in us.

November's Letter
November's Letter

Loss, no matter its form, can be devastating and leave a hard and weighted thumb print on our backs, dragging us down physically or emotionally, which – at times – may cause our knees to buckle. Experiencing loss, especially if it was traumatic can leave its mark on us for years. So how do you cope with this? How do you find your feet and take your beginning step, realigning yourself back on your desired path, before everything got thrown into the air? How do you accept your loss and finally, move on?

October's Letter
October's Letter

Just as the leaves change, wither and die, new buds always emerge the next year just as varied, bright and colourful as ever. So embrace the falling of your own leaves, enjoy the shedding of the old you from earlier this year. Let your old identity and past experiences fall from your shoulders and spiral around in the wind behind you like autumn leaves caught in a cool gust. Re-focus yourself, your goals and how you value and perceive yourself. Time is fractal, nothing is static - a new day and a new season is always around the corner. So don’t wait for next Monday or the new year – re-start now and get what you want. Trust that you are enough to get yourself there. Embrace the days ahead and don’t waste them. Give way to the past months and walk into the crisp October air ready for your next chapter, because, just like the seasons, your time to bloom is just around the corner.
