To keep up a good work ethic, you need to have a good rest ethic too 😴

Just focus on the best way forward from here

Accepting the reality in front of you doesn’t mean tolerating it - it allows you to see things clearly and choose how best to respond

Rather than despairing about a difficult situation, find β€˜Active Hope’ by looking for the best possible response and taking the next step, however small

Stay hopeful. The challenges you’re facing now have the potential to help you learn, grow and build resilience. Things can and do change

Instead of trying to suppress difficult feelings, allow yourself to feel them. Then focus on finding helpful ways to respond

When you feel things are going badly, remember to ask β€œcompared to what?”. Invariably things could have been a lot worse and there are still reasons to be cheerful

Don’t let what happened in the past sabotage the present. There’s no need to suffer twice

Summer Rain

Our band just released a new track. I’m on guitars and must confess I'm quite chuffed with the atmospheric vibe we've managed to get on this one! Hope you like it & would appreciate any feedback open.spotify.com/track/2CugaI...

This is your one precious life. Remember to appreciate the little things and make the most of today

Spread hope not fear. When you see something shocking, think carefully about whether passing it on is helpful. When you see something uplifting, share it to inspire others too

Dare to pause in a world that never stops. Notice the sensations in your body and look for something new or beautiful in the world around you

You did what you did. It is what it is. Let it go and move on

Spend more time on things that bring joy or meaning. Spend less time on things that bring neither

People want to feel heard. It’s more important to focus on what they’re really saying than on planning what you’re going to say in reply

Unplug to recharge. Give yourself the gift of less screen time and more outdoors time today

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just take the next step

Ask yourself: What’s gone well recently? Even on tough days there are things to be thankful for

If you’re mainly focused on yourself, do something for someone else today

If you’re mainly helping others, do something to care for yourself today

It’s the little things that make life big. Remember to appreciate them

We often over-estimate our future capacity. Make things calmer by committing to slightly fewer things

Learning to like yourself brings more peace of mind than trying to be liked by everyone else

Finding opportunities to laugh together is a great way to disarm tension and make relationships happier

Taking the next small step helps you move from uncertainty to agency

These two things are both true:

1️⃣ You are worthy of love and appreciation just as you are

2️⃣ It’s worth putting in the effort to be the best version of yourself

Life mainly consists of ordinary moments, like this one right now. If we can learn to appreciate and be present for more of them, we get so much more out of life

In life’s chaos, don’t forget to look around and appreciate the things that are going right

It helps to keep a sense of everyday optimism. When I tell myself β€œit’s going to be a good day” I help to make this more likely, while still leaving space to adjust and respond as needed
