Recently, I carried out a poll to discover what it was that prevented people from journalling. Where to start and not having enough time were amongst the top responses. So, this month, I want to introduce a very simple tool that will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it.
The MicroMOVEment Wheel is the brainchild of international bestselling writer SARK – aka Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy. Several years ago, I attended a writing retreat with SARK on the island of Hawaii, and we used the MicroMOVEment Wheel as a creative planning tool for our writing projects and goals. SARK describes creating this method so she could write what she dreamed of, while still sometimes procrastinating, avoiding, and resisting writing.
I’ve used the MicroMOVEment wheel time and time again with my own writing and creative projects, and I’ve taken this simple tool into my coaching work with leaders. It has allowed them to get writing and other tasks done in between all the other things that they have to deal with.

Try a Little Kindfulness - Make kindness a conscious practice and infuse your life with everyday abundance, writes Dr David Hamilton
The more we care about others, the more we realise that most people are just like us - trying to figure things out and hoping for a good day. It's easier to fear what you don't know, but once you get to know people, the world seems a lot smaller and cosier. So next time you're tempted to scroll past someone's problem, dismiss someone's feelings, or just be in your own little bubble, remember: the world's a better place when we all give a little f*ck. Let's sprinkle that stuff everywhere like it's magical kindness glitter!

Presenter, podcaster and author Gabby Logan talks to Psychologies about health, happiness, and overcoming hurdles in midlife...When TV presenter Gabby Logan started to experience brain fog in her late 40s, struggling to recall the correct word or name on live TV, she initially put it down to tiredness. 'I couldn't quite get that name or articulate in the way I had previously been able to, so I was concerned, but it coincided with lockdown and not doing any telly for a while. I remember feeling quite nervous going back to live TV.' But the former international gymnast soon realised that it was a symptom of perimenopause and promptly went onto HRT, which she says has balanced her hormones.

Summer break or make!
Hello, lovers! September is here, and the lazy holiday season is behind us. And for many-me included - now feels like the perfect opportunity for a personal kick up the backside, and to embark on a relationship reset. In my work, it's typically women who take the first steps accessing couples' help, but recently (and encouragingly) I've noticed an uptick in men reaching out to get relationship advice and wanting to put the work in.
