It’s Time to Talk Day … I remember when I was too proud to start a conversation about my mental health. But now @PAUL4Brain exists because I began to talk about how I was feeling ❤️ We all have mental health and can support ourselves and others when we talk about it.

Small actions = big results. This month I smashed my 200-mile cycle target – totaling 214 miles, mainly on my turbo trainer 🚴🏻‍♂️ I did this by breaking it down into bite-sized, manageable chunks. Whatever your goals, a small step is one step closer to crushing them ❤️

I really enjoyed talking to the physiotherapy students at @UniOfHull last week. I gave an insight into life after brain injury and shared my story of the founding and growth of @PAUL4Brain ❤️

I really enjoyed this episode of the @hubermanlab podcast 🎧 on the impact of dietary changes on mental health and recovery.

This is something I've experienced myself during my #braininjury recovery. 💪 Definitely worth a listen 👂❤️

Exciting morning dropping off @HullWykeRT Santa sleigh at @brandfixx ready for its makeover. Thank you, Brandfixx, for supporting our community work. We cannot wait to see it rewrapped, ready for Santa to bring some Christmas spirit to the West Hull villages next week ❤️

Great Teams call this morning….
