You rewrote that email four times. You said yes when you meant no. And now it's late and you're still going over everything you didn't get done.

None of that is a flaw in your character. It's what happens when people who care a lot are never taught how to work with their own minds.

It's especially common in people who are trying to make a difference. You care so much about the work that you rarely switch off, and underneath the everyday stuff sits a bigger worry: that whatever you do, it will never quite be enough.

Joyful Impact Live is 45 free minutes, once a month, to practise something different. You'll learn one simple skill, try it with a friendly group, and leave with something you can use the same week.

What happens

  1. Arrive and say hello. A few minutes to land, wherever you've come from.
  2. Learn one thing. A short, practical look at one of the skills below and why it helps.
  3. Practise it together. A guided practice, then a moment to reflect and, if you'd like, share.
  4. Take it into your week. Pick one moment coming up where you'll try it.

The skills we practise

Each month focuses on one of four mental fitness muscles. They build on each other, but every session stands on its own, so you can start any time.

Awareness

Noticing, with curiosity

Catching the inner critic and the stories in your head, so you can hear them without having to obey them.

Attention

Steadying, with connection

Coming back to your body, your senses and the people around you when your mind is racing.

Acceptance

Allowing, with compassion

Meeting hard feelings with kindness, instead of fighting them or pushing them away.

Action

Acting, with clarity and courage

Getting clear on what matters to you, and taking a brave next step towards it.

Save this link, as it's the one you'll use on the day. I'll also email it to you, with a reminder the day before.

Nothing to prepare. Find a quiet-ish spot, bring a cuppa or your lunch, and come as you are. Cameras are optional.

See you there,
