Easing the Sunday Scaries - 25/2/24


Easing the Sunday Scaries

Hiiiii!

Sorry to miss last Sunday (you realised I didn't email you last week, didn't you?) but I was on the long drive home from a magical weekend of somatic psychology goodness and could NOT for the life of me convince my phone to load Convertkit to send an email.

Last night, I went to a gig with one of my oldest friends but because I'm so rock and roll I said the gig is just down from the university library, let me get a book out on our way there. The book is about creative activism: using creative methods to impact positive social change. And the gig was the fabulous Grace Petrie who writes songs about how socialism could save the world if the Tories weren't so bloody awful.

Anyhow, it's only from the vantage of this morning that I realise how beautifully paired the two things are. And that, piled on top of the marvellous somatics weekend, I feel my practice being pulled back in the direction of creativity and community. More thoughts to come (and for the love of all that is holy, if there isn't a link to a blog post about it in next week's newsletter, then please get on my case!)

What I'm thinking

Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 6th October Content notice: I talk about grief and bereavement this week. Skip this email if you need to. Come back on a better day or I'll speak to you next week. x And now it's October. 50% of the marketing emails in my inbox are trying to get me ready for Christmas or make plans for a great 2025. Honestly, I've barely thought about next week let alone next year! I did try, during September, some paper planning techniques. I obviously want to buy a beautiful...

Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 28th April 2024 Sheepishly resurfacing after a month hiding from the Sunday Scaries. I went for a long walk this morning and have committed to a month of showing up on social media and saying stuff (it's called the Garbage Post challenge - you have to post 100 times within 30 days) so I thought I would reappear here too. Hope your Sunday's haven't been too scary this month. Recent articles What I'm reading I bought this second hand, it arrived Saturday morning...

Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 17/3/24 For the first time in a long time, I don't have the Sunday Scaries. I've been reading a lot and I think I've finally worked out how to align the day job with my mission of working in social justice. It's super early days but I'm going to check in with some colleagues, see if they think my idea has legs and maybe create a bit of squad around my idea. You know I'm a huge Cal Newport fan and he has, since "So Good They Can't Ignore You"*, urged his...
