Coaching creativity and life beyond work

[Emma Mitchell 💙 @silverpebble]

A couple of mornings ago I woke up about 4.30am, severely anxious, very loud self-hating thoughts racing so fast I longed to turn them off-to step out of my brain entirely. Then I realised that Steve the blackbird was singing. The beautiful repeating patterns of his tweets quietened & slowed my thoughts & I was grateful for every fluting note. Researched shows that birdsong can be more effective than meditation apps at alleviating stress. Sound up 🐦‍⬛🎵🧠:

There is a brief moment each year when spring has not quite left and summer has not quite arrived.

The hawthorn still clings to the hedgerows.

Foxgloves begin to rise beside country lanes.

Swifts scream overhead after their long journey from Africa.

Across meadows, wildflowers are reaching their peak, while young birds and animals venture into the world for the first time.

The days are longer, the fields are greener, and the countryside feels full of life.

It is a season that lasts only a few weeks.

Soon the hay will be cut, the wildflowers will begin to fade, and high summer will take over.

For now, England sits in that brief space between spring and summer.

The countryside is at its finest.

What is your favourite sign that summer has arrived?

This is about a thousand more people than died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001, yet hardly a mention in news bulletins. Extreme heat is becoming so frequent to the point where it’s no longer noteworthy, while some say we should slow down on emissions reductions…

The ancient ritual in the Surrey Hills that winemakers don’t usually talk about.
