Instincts and Leaps of Faith (Thursday Thoughts: 27 July, 2023)

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 back and far more energetic than I was last week! And this time I have the added bonus of feeling a bit excited about a creative idea I’ve had.

I’m not going to go into any details about the idea (I’m superstitious enough to know never to count your chickens before they hatch), but suffice it to say I’m sufficiently excited that I’ve been creating little notes and doodles for myself all week long… culminating in a good 2-hour session today where I mapped things out in a lot more detail.

Not only do I feel excited, but I feel a kind of buzzy-inspiration that feels like my intuition telling me it’s something worthy of my time and energy. So we’ll see if it works out. The result is not the point; the point is that when you feel strongly about something, you owe it to yourself to give it a go and see where things take you.

Maybe nothing will come of it, and that’s OK.

But at the same time… maybe something will. And won’t that be exciting?

However you’ll never know if you never give it a go.

So here is one simple, actionable tip for you to try this week: Try something new this week or, even better, something you’ve been putting off but feel strongly about. Take a chance!

Until our next talk, have a fantastic week!
