One of the things I know is that every morning gives us a choice. Yesterday might have been amazing. Or it might have been one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. Either way, when you wake up today, you get another opportunity to decide how you want to show up. I think that's one of the most powerful things about resilience. It's not about pretending yesterday didn't happen. It's about not letting yesterday completely determine today. Some days, your win might be getting to the gym. Some days, it might be having a difficult conversation you've been avoiding. Some days, it might simply be choosing not to be so hard on yourself. They all count. Living with MND has taught me that I can't always control what today brings. **But I can control the attitude I bring to it!** That's the reset. Not waiting for Monday. Not waiting until life feels easier. Today. So here's my question for you... When you woke up this morning, what did you choose to focus on? And if today didn't start the way you hoped, remember... there's still plenty of today left to change the direction of it. 💚

If you could bring back ONE thing from your childhood that doesn't really exist anymore, what would it be? Could be a food, a TV show, a shop, something you did after school, the way weekends felt... anything. I'm sure some of these answers are going to bring back memories I'd completely forgotten about! My answer is in the comments ;)

You know the stuff. The expensive candle you don't want to burn. The nice bottle of wine you're saving. The new outfit waiting for the right occasion. The fancy dinnerware that spends 360 days of the year in a cupboard. I've definitely become more of a "just use it" person over the years - living with MND probably has something to do with that. When I was diagnosed, I was given 2–3 years to live, so the idea of saving everything for "someday" started to seem a little ridiculous. I'm now nine years down the track, which I'm very happy about... but I still don't see much point in owning lovely things and never actually enjoying them. Although I suspect there are still a few things lurking in my cupboards that would prove I'm not quite as good at this as I think. What are you saving for a special occasion that you should probably just use?

My algorithm seems to have decided I need to know everything there is to know about burnout. It's everywhere at the moment. So I'm not sure if burnout is the latest topic we're all talking about… or if Meta is trying to tell me something 😆 Either way, it's got me thinking about how often we use the word... Had a huge week? Burnt out. Work is driving you mad? Burnt out. Tired, cranky and don't want to talk to anyone? Must be burnout. But sometimes… aren't we just really tired? There's obviously a difference between having too much on for a few days and feeling like you've been running on empty for months. A decent sleep, a quiet weekend or a few days away can do wonders when you're tired. But then again, what about when they don't? When you've had the break, caught up on sleep and slowed things down a bit, but you still don't feel quite right. That's the bit I'm interested in. So I'm going to dig into burnout a little more over the next few weeks - what it actually is, what it isn't, how we end up there and, most importantly, what we can do about it. But let's start here: How do you know when you're just really tired and need a break… and when something bigger is going on?

You’ve unexpectedly got the whole day to yourself. No work, no jobs, no obligations. What are you doing?
