This is why you should 100% get behind the junior doctor’s strike.

It was a privilege to spend the day with a group of doctors who have decided to stand up and say enough is enough.

We are being paid 26% less than someone in our position in 2008.

I hardly know a soul who isn’t considering leaving.

The NHS is in crisis.

Our health secretary didn’t even turn up to the last round of talks.

This government does not care about me and you.

Or our wonderful NHS.

We want to be valued for the work that we do.

We want fair pay.

Support the strikes.

One of the key traits of resilient, happy and healthy people is that they are open-minded.

Being curious leads to learning more which leads to growth.

It also makes life way more fun.

Do. Fail. Learn. Repeat. Succeed.

It’s much harder for our minds to overthink and worry when we put them to work.

Do the thing. Take those steps. Lift the weights. Run the run.

You got this.

I went to the Show last night (thanks ) and met an idol (+
dream podcast guest) . I was also blown away by ‘s workshop on how to promote yourself effectively. Here are 5 things that I learnt:

1. The power of reframing. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, you are about to learn something and therefore grow. ‘Imposter syndrome’ becomes ‘growth moment’ (Steven).

2. Procrastination avoiding psychological discomfort, not pleasure seeking. When you find yourself avoiding a difficult task, bring awareness to what about the task is causing discomfort. Again, a simple reframing can go a long way.(Steven)

3. There is no perfect time to start a business and the biggest issue you will face is a lack of self-belief. So get believing and get a move on, right? (Steven+Stef)

4. When self-promoting, bare in mind the 3 G’s. Be genuine, gracious and giving. (Stef)

5. And my favourite quote of the night: ‘The words you speak become the house you live in’. This is partly a nod to self-belief but more importantly, be kind to yourself in your endeavours. (Stef)

Your mental health is more important than all else. So look after yourself.

Just a reminder. You are enough. You matter. You are worthy.

Look at yourself like you would look at a best mate.

Sorry this one isn’t a reel.

It could be my most important post to date though.

We are failing our youth. Things need to change.

If you are passionate about helping young people too, please get in contact.

(I’m looking specifically for experts, content creators and anyone with useful insights into mental youth within young people and in particular within the education system).

Drop a name in the comments if you think you know someone who can help 👊🏼

We are living in a world that is more connected than ever, so why do so many of us feel completely disconnected?

My top 3 reasons are:

1️⃣ Technology overload leading to a lack of meaningful connections with those around us
2️⃣ Breakdown of communities, particularly in Western cultures
3️⃣ Many of us struggle due to feeling a lack of purpose

3 simple steps to try and take today:

🟢 Take a break from social media and put down your phone at dinner time
🟢 Interact with the people you meet on a daily basis (people you do and don’t know) - start a conversation with someone not expecting it
🟢 Google/YouTube the ‘values compass’ exercise and give it a go. Once you have your values, you can ask yourself - ‘is what I am doing today/is this action aligning with my values?’ - if it is not then it makes it easier to try and shift priorities, set other goals and take a different course of action.

What else can we do to improve loneliness and disconten within society? 🤷🏼‍♂️
