Comment on Unlocking Sleep by Karen Butler

Headspace is an app I use for my teenager just for the Sleep music, it has limited free content so there is probably better ones out there. The repetiveness of the same music every night helps I think.
Also cold feet prevents me from going to sleep so warm fluffy socks just for bedtime helps too.

In reply to Lara. Hello Lara! It means the world to me that you are reading my articles, thank-you. And yes I agree SO much to learn from the younger generation, and so tempting to get stuck in our old ways and think our view of the world is right. I heard a lovely explanation of #BLM the other day. If someone was campaigning to save the Rainforest, they are not saying that other forests and woodlands don't need protecting too, they are just saying that the destruction of the rainforest is affecting us ALL even though we can't see it yet and the consequences for us all will be disastrous unless we do something about it so we need to focus our efforts on the most urgent things on the agenda. Sending you so much love xxxx Michelle

I always enjoy your blogs…. I feel like I am looking through your eyes out into the world. I have recently learned that `black lives matter’ before `all lives matter’. That took me a while I can tell you. I get a bit of a buzz from learning things from the younger generation 🙂 xx

You have described exactly what I feel when learning something – the picture of the axe in the keyboard is similar to one that I’ve had in my head while learning the piano – an axe through the keys! But I’m stubborn and, having trained as a lawyer with a working class background, and a female to boot,has taught me that if I apply myself and just keep practising, it will come: I’m aiming for my first piano concert at age 100.
BUT, like you, technology is a red rag to a bull, so your six-week of getting to grips with the stuff has earned my everlasting admiration!
Keep on and upwards – and keep safe.

Comforting & thought provoking as always, today you especially (& timely) struck a chord………as my usually relatively techie husband bellows down from his loft workspace that his speakers are now not working as he struggles to give remote online guitar lessons to his students! Sometimes it just helps to know your not alone………

In reply to Jemma Campbell-Scott. Hi Jemma, as you know my belief is that if I share my struggles I might create connection and if I pretend to have my shit together when I don't then I will just make people feel worse about themselves and I never want to do that. When you tell me that it chimed with you that helped me too so thank you for taking the time and trouble to share with me how you have been feeling. Please feel free to share the article with anyone you think it might help. Sending you so much love and hoping you are getting the odd ten minutes to yourself!! xx Michelle

I love this article Michelle. So many times over the years you have said things which chime with various events and feelings in my life and none more so than now i can hopefully if you don’t mind spread your wise words to friends struggling with extreme anxiety at this time too. Thank you xxx
