Your Weekly Dose of Mental Sunshine
The mind works best when it is in a state of mental sunshine.
“… no mental growth can take place without mental sunshine. Accordingly, we should resolve to be happy no matter what may transpire. We cannot afford to be otherwise. Sunshine will melt the most massive iceberg if the rays are direct and the clouds are kept away; and it is the same in daily life. No matter how cold, disagreeable and uncongenial your present environment may be, plenty of mental sunshine can change it all.” Christian D Larson

Stop
How is your week going so far? This week’s mental sunshine is something I’ve been hearing more and more about lately, but it’s not about starting something; It’s about stopping something… Every year for the last 20 years or so, I’ve stopped drinking alcohol from New Year’s day for a few months. Usually after the […]
One Thing
It’s the first day of September, and I don’t know about you, but at this time of year I always feel like I want to start something new, sign up for something – Buy a new pencil case! Inevitably, big new habits are hard to stick with; a few months down the line we’ve returned […]
Joy, Confidence & Positivity
For this week’s email, I thought I would talk a little about why I’m interested in wellness. After all, my day job is being a photographer. So why do I send you weekly Mental Sunshine emails? Well, first of all: everyone looks better in their headshot if they’re wearing a genuine smile. I realised long […]
Bold Colours
I had some great feedback from last week’s email – apparently I’m not the only person who values a cheeky afternoon nap! This week’s suggestion for bringing some mental sunshine into your life is about your sartorial choices. Do you have a colour you always wear? I don’t know about you, but I sometimes feel […]
Power Naps
I think you’re going to love experimenting with this week’s Mental Sunshine… it’s all about the power of a good power nap! The summer weather always makes us drowsy, and we can often feel like we could do with a nap – But society seems to have this idea that it’s lazy to take a […]
Focus
This week’s Mental Sunshine is all about focus. When was the last time you got completely lost in something, looking up to realise hours had passed? Children are great at this; give them a colouring book or some building blocks, and they can lose themselves in their own little world for hours. As adults, we […]
Take a Break
How are things with you? It’s summer holiday time, and I’m currently enjoying a well-earned rest. You don’t need to book a five-star resort on the continent to feel the benefit of taking a break. Just a day or two here and there can make a real difference. I’m a firm believer that we all […]
Be Curious
This week’s Mental Sunshine is all about curiosity. Yes, I know it allegedly killed the cat… but actually, curiosity is something that can really improve our mood and make our day more interesting and rewarding. When we are children, we’re naturally curious about the world around us. We inspect and experiment with every new thing […]
Phones
This week’s Mental Sunshine is about your mobile phone. Mobile phones are great. When I was young it would have been difficult to believe that I would have access to all of the world’s knowledge, be able to take photos, access my bank account and chat to people all over the world – all from […]
Eye Contact
How is your week going so far? This week’s mental sunshine is really simple, and one that most of us can try – it just might take a bit of courage. This week, I want you to challenge yourself to connect with a stranger. Make eye contact; smile; perhaps even offer a compliment or simply […]
