It’s time for my weekly round-up of tips for better mental health! Each week I share a handful of things I’ve come across that I find interesting, intriguing and inspirational, plus I tell you about anything interesting that’s coming up on my weekly podcast, Let’s Talk About Mental Health, or just generally in terms of my work. So… let’s talk!

Hello Talkers! 👋🗣😃
I’m tired. And it’s only 9am.
And given that I’m writing this on Wednesday (July 19) and it’s only my 3rd day of work after taking two weeks off, you might think I should be feeling refreshed and enthusiastic.
But I’m just not.
The main reason is that I spent a few days at the start of my break feeling exhausted, as I’d been working at a hectic pace and hadn’t taken a proper break since the beginning of the year. And then I spent the rest of the holidays doing DIY (more like DI-WHY?!) in between playing with Threads, like the rest of the world (hey, I didn’t want to miss out!).
So, it appears that I ignored my own advice and didn’t give myself enough time to rest and recharge… oops! I’m rectifying that this week by letting myself ease back into my work and reducing the pressure to do all the things as quickly as possible.
So here is one simple, actionable tip for you to try this week: Give yourself permission to rest and/or go slow when you need to; some days you only have 40% to give, and that’s OK.
Remember, you need to make your wellbeing a priority… because if you don’t, who will?!
Until our next talk, have a fantastic week!
Jeremy 😃
