I mentioned in last month's newsletter that I had recently started meditating again (thank you Soph!). I only do 5-10 minutes in the morning (plus a sleep one each night) and I cannot overstate how transformational it continues to be – both day-to-day and cumulatively. 
 
If you’re interested in having a go, check out Insight Timer. It’s my go-to app because it’s packed with free guided meditations and suggests popular ones based on the time of day you’re searching. It also has oodles of topics to explore, like gratitude practices, self-compassion and breathwork. 
 
 
There are a few other things I’ve done this month that helped make it a good month…
 
I’m reading a book my friend Charlotte bought me for my birthday and it is quite possibly THE best ‘self-help’ book I’ve ever read. It’s called Mind Magic by James Doty and I’ve been describing it (to anyone who will listen) as manifestation for sceptics. I’d recommend it if you want to get in your own corner and back yourself to create positive change in your life. How it has altered my interior world and mindset has been nothing short of profound. 
I also started a book club, which I’ll be hosting at my home once a quarter. 
I stopped drinking 4 years ago and wanted more connection locally, something that wasn't centred around alcohol. I also wanted to read more. During a moment of inspiration on my evening dog walk, I decided to start the Good Vibes Book Club - a high-vibe, alcohol-free gathering of women from my local South East London neighbourhood. Our first book is, of course, Mind Magic and I can’t wait to see where the discussion takes us at our first get together in April.
 
I talk about my experience of giving up alcohol for good in this podcast episode from The Rewriters pod archives
 

 
Read this recent-ish article about the boom of the book club! 
 
And finally, this month I’ve also been promoting my Rewrite Your Career Story coaching programme online and offline (leaflets anyone?!). 
 
Even as a brand marketer by trade, promo is my least favourite part of business, but I have been happily shouting about how life changing and affirming this programme is – because it really is!

I’m going to be speaking a lot more next week about Rewrite Your Career Story as we reach the final week to enrol before the programme starts. 
 
If you want to keep receiving my newsletters, but know that right now isn't the time for you to join the programme, you can opt out here.  
 
BUT if you’d like to join me to create some much-needed change in your career (and life), you can express your interest here or just hit reply to email me directly.
 
 
 
Ok, that’s all for this month First name / Rewriter, I hope you are having a gorgeous start to Spring if you’re in the northern hemisphere, and a richly contemplative start to Autumn if you're down under.
 
Much love and see you next month!
