Stop overthinking! All is well.
Have You Changed Your Mind About Something Lately?
I had to change my mind on something the other day and it made me think about how we sometimes see changing our mind as a bad thing... like being inconsistent or the idea of 'getting it wrong' is a negative. But I think it's important that we challenge those thoughts and instead try to see changing our mind as growth. There are plenty of things I see differently now than I did ten years ago. For example, I used to think exercise had to be high intensity to be worthwhile. Now I know that gentle, consistent movement is absolutely just as valuable (consistency is key!). I used to think asking for help meant I'd somehow failed. Living with MND has completely changed that. I've learned that accepting support doesn't make you less capable. In many ways, it allows you to keep doing the things that matter most. And technology is another one. Years ago, I never imagined I'd be communicating through eye-gaze, speaking at conferences around the world, or helping shape this community in the way I do now. If you'd told me that would become part of my life, I probably wouldn't have believed you. Changing my mind didn't mean I was wrong before. But, it's meant life has given me new experiences, and I was willing to learn from them. I think that's part of resilience too. Not holding onto old beliefs just because they're familiar, but being open to seeing things differently as we grow is so important! ❔What's one thing you've changed your mind about recently? It could be something about your health, work, relationships, getting older, or just life in general. I'd love to hear what's shifted for you.

Mmmh very inspiring……. As for me I used to view failure or setbacks as the end of the world. But due to encountering a number of setbacks in my journey of life, be it in sport or my daily living. I realised that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success…. And setbacks are just an opportunity to learn and have a fresh start.
Is it time to forget the 5am club??
I think "morning routines" have become a bit overcomplicated. Social media would have us believe we need to wake up at 5am, meditate, journal, work out, drink a green smoothie and read ten pages of a book before 7 o'clock. Honestly? Most of us don't live in that world. Some mornings you're getting kids ready for school. Some mornings you're rushing to work. Some mornings you're just trying to get yourself moving. My mornings look very different to what they used to. Living with MND means I need help with every part of getting ready for the day. It's slower, and there's not much that's spontaneous about it anymore. But one thing hasn't changed. How I start my morning still influences how I experience the rest of my day. For me, it isn't about ticking off a perfect routine. It's about creating a little bit of intention before the day takes over. That might be taking a few deep breaths. Thinking about one thing I'm looking forward to. Choosing how I want to show up. Some days that's all I need. I've realised resilience isn't built by having the "perfect" morning. It's built by finding a routine that's realistic for your life and coming back to it, even after you've fallen out of the habit. So I'm curious... What's one thing you do in the morning that helps set your day up well? It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Sometimes the simplest habits are the ones that stick the longest.

I try to keep my mornings as simple as possible as I’m not a morning person 😂. I start my mornings with a prayer of being grateful for the day ahead 🙏🏾and a few push ups to wake me up and kick start my day.
What's ONE thing you've discovered lately that's made your life better?
Tell me, what's ONE thing you've discovered lately that's made your life better? It can be anything. A book you couldn't put down. A podcast worth listening to. A recipe that's now on repeat. An exercise you actually enjoy. A great app. A product you wish you'd bought years ago. A TV show we all need to watch. Or just a small habit that's surprisingly useful. I'll start... Mine is my friends 🥰... on a trip back to my hometown they remind me how much I miss them. I always come back with my cup and heart full and feel so grateful that they make my life so much better. Now your turn 👇 Drop ONE recommendation in the comments - and have a look through everyone else's while you're there. I have a feeling we might uncover a few gems!

Mine is my family 🫶🏾…… I live miles away from my family but every day I have short casual check-ins with them through video calls, and after every call it makes me realise how important my family is to me and its a reminder as to why I need to keep fighting each day to reach my goal. Because me not trying my best will be a let down to those that believe in me, which is my family.
What Do You Do When Two Good Choices Pull You in Different Directions?
Sometimes the hardest decisions aren’t between good and bad. They might actually be between two good things! The opportunity that excites you… but will stretch your energy. The commitment you care about… but know might overload you. The goal you want… but the timing feels off. The person you want to help… but your own needs are calling too. That’s where it gets tricky. When both choices have value, it’s easy to overthink, second-guess, or stay stuck in the middle. One of the things we talk about in the Resilience Reboot is the power of choice. Not just making decisions quickly, but slowing down enough to ask better questions. What can I control here? Which option aligns with my values? What will this cost me? What will this give me? What choice supports the person I’m trying to become? Sometimes the “right” choice isn’t the easiest one. And sometimes it isn’t the one that looks best from the outside. It’s the one that brings you back to what matters most. So I’m curious… when two good choices pull you in different directions, how do you decide? Do you go with logic? your gut feeling? values? or maybe you get advice from someone you trust? I’d love to hear how you work through this one.

This is such an interesting topic, as it’s something I resonate with in my day to day life. When it comes to making a decision between two good choices, I usually calculate the opportunity cost by weighing exactly what I will lose by passing up on the alternative. I also seek outside perspectives from people I trust such as my close family, so they can help uncover blind spots.
