How are you doing? It’s a genuine question, especially as we are now a week into official lockdown in the U.K. Generally speaking, we seem to be adapting quite quickly. (If you don’t feel that way yet, don’t worry – this beautiful image from Mellow Doodles on Instagram might reassure you). As long as people have access to the …
What does happiness mean to you? During my workshops, I sometimes joke about a vacuum cleaner advert. (Bear with me, I promise this will make sense.) You might have seen it on TV: it’s the one that says that you need it because it’s going to change your life. The advertiser says you can hoover …
Where do you share your opinions? There are places in your life where you may feel safe to say what you think. Amongst close friends, some well chosen colleagues or certain members of your family maybe. In some particular environments though, you may keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself for fear of judgement. In …

What does the world need right now that you have to offer? I don’t mean more of your time or energy, as you’re probably giving that out in tonnes anyway. I mean the genuine gifts that you bring to the party of life. As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, I talked about the Five Ways to …
What would happen if you said it like it is right now? Sometimes we hold back for all the right reasons, while other people push ahead. Last week, I travelled into London to deliver a mindfulness taster session. As I travelled in a taxi towards my first appointment, all I could hear were cars, vans and lorries …
