The Space

Could you do with a few more tools up your sleeve for when things get tricky? We've got a cute trick from Briony Benjamin's new book Life is Tough But so Are You. During Briony’s cancer diagnosis and treatment, she learnt this coping mechanism from her friend Jenna Rumney. We’re going to talk you through how you can do it yourself, no matter what challenges are being thrown your way.

We all know there’s no such thing as a perfect partner, but we can often overlook those irritating things for the sake of the relationship. The problem is we don’t always have this attitude with our friendships. Let’s be a bit kinder to our friends who are like our family!

Do you luuurve your job? Before you answer, get honest. There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question. Not everyone who goes to work loves their job. And that’s okay. The WHY we work can be more important. What motivates you to go to work?

Brooke MacAlary is the author of the book ‘Care, the radical art of taking time.’ She wrote the book at the height of the pandemic out of necessity. When it comes to self-care there’s no golden face masks here. She focuses on how smaller, personal acts of care, can help us to feel nurtured, loving and grounded. We’ve got an example we can all try this weekend.

It’s Left Handers Day today! This isn’t just for the lefties amongst us. Using your non-dominant hand is argued to have many benefits. It keeps our brains agile. It can boost your sense of control and ease aggression. So today we want you to try doing something you doe very day – with your non dominant hand; and see how it makes you feel?
