I'm a coach who is passionately curious about pretty much everything. Not a fan of small talk, huge fan of deep talk.

We spent a lot of time in our garden this weekend, making plans.
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy writes 'Spring is the time of plans and projects' and I understand why. There is an excitement about this time of year and a blooming of possibilities.

The Good Life is a book reflecting on the Harvard Study of Adult Development, running since 1938. In it, Robert Waldinger writes:
'Among the many predictors of health and happiness, from good diet to exercise to level of income, a life of good relationships stands out for its power & consistency.'

What one simple thing will improve your wellbeing this week?
Maybe you can go for a walk at lunchtime.
Perhaps you can unfollow some unhelpful accounts on social media.
Maybe it's a glass of water instead of a fizzy drink mid-afternoon.
Whatever it is, why not give it a go?

What a great reminder from comedian and Strictly 2024 champion, Chris McCausland! He and his wonderful partner, Dianne Buswell, brought so much joy to their dances. His words apply to life as much as to dancing. Happy Monday!
