New week. Fresh reset. Before the noise kicks in, here’s a simple check-in. Your life doesn’t move in the direction of your effort, it moves in the direction of your attention. What we focus on grows. What we keep feeding gets stronger. This week isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about noticing where your attention is going…and gently reclaiming it when it drifts. One breath. One choice. One moment at a time. If you want to engage, finish this sentence in one line: This week, I want to give more of my attention to ______. Or just read this and take the reset. That’s enough for Monday.

As the week winds down, here’s a simple reflection. Not goals. Not pressure. Just this: What’s one thing you want to give more attention to next week, and one thing you’re willing to give less? Even naming it privately counts. Attention shapes our lives more than effort ever will.

Quick one. How do Mondays land for you these days? 👉 👍 – I don’t mind Mondays 👉 👎 – Not a fan at all 👉 😐 – Just another day, same as the rest No explaining needed. Just whatever fits. Monday done. That’s enough for today.

This is us this afternoon. No agenda. No pushing. Just good company, fresh air, a happy dog at our feet and letting the nervous system breathe for a bit. Living with a spinal injury can mean life feels like effort stacked on effort. That’s why moments like this matter more than most people realise. Down time isn’t lazy. It’s restorative. It’s how we reset so we can keep showing up. So I’m curious… What does down time look like for you?It might be: - sitting outside - music or podcasts - time with animals - the ocean or a river - a good coffee and watching the world go by No big stories needed — just name it. Sunday check-in. What’s your favourite way to slow things down? 👇

I’ve been thinking about something since yesterday. When men live with spinal injury long enough, they develop a kind of strength most people never learn. Not the loud, push-through kind. Not the “rah rah, stay positive” kind. It’s the part of you that keeps showing up when your body won’t cooperate. The part that makes decisions quickly and quietly. The part that knows when to rest, when to push, and when to just endure. I’ve come to call that the Inner Warrior, not as a label, but as a way of naming something that already exists. It’s not something you earn. It’s not something you switch on. It’s the spirit in you that knows more than your head does. The part of you that’s been adapting, learning, and leading from the inside, often without recognition. Most of the time, you’re already living it… you just don’t have words for it yet. That’s all I wanted to share today.
