On International Panic Day, can we simply relax and embrace the hot mess that we are?

I share a few of my favourite cards from my Disappointing Affirmations pack. Which one is your favourite?

Happy Birthday to Gregor!

Gregor has been training in Martial Arts with Phil since he was 7 - which is a few years ago now! He's worked his way up to being a Second Dan.

Gregor has been a volunteer instructor for several years, both working alongside Phil and also covering for him when Phil is away.

You can find Gregor in our Bo'ness dojo every Friday night, helping with both the Little Samurais and the Senior classes. He also covers for Phil at Bonnybridge occasionally on a Tuesday night.

We've got the next generation involved too, as Gregor's daughter Hope trains on a Friday night. There's still time for his other 3 daughters to get involved...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREGOR - we hope you have an amazing day, you thoroughly deserve to.

Did you know that we have a monthly membership for our Bonnybridge centre for only £40?

Joining gives you access to all of our weekly classes. Our members tell us that this has encouraged them to attend more classes - helping improve their overall wellbeing and health, and forming connections with other regular attendees.

Paying monthly also helps with budgeting - you know what's coming out every month, and you don't have to miss classes when money runs low at the end of the month.

After missing a newsletter last week as we were recovering after celebrating Soke Yamaue's 80th birthday in Copenhagen with a large Martial Arts training camp, this week's is a corker!

Read for a link to my blog where I explore loneliness and the need to form meaningful connections.

I also share information about events coming up - both in our two centres, and further afield. I really believe that there's something for everyone!

Join us on Thursday for two great, social events.

Or come to our Coffee Afternoon at 1.30pm.

Or perhaps come along to both?

Both events are free, although donations for the coffee afternoon are welcomed.

Want to make your life a little bit happier?

Dr. Mark Williamson has done the research on how we can achieve this. He's come up with 23 practical ways to feel better, find meaning and make a difference.

His book "Make Life Happier" tells us how.

Join me for an online Study Group where we take a deep dive into the book - reading it over 8 weeks and discussing in depth.

We first meet on Monday 6th July 6.30-7.30pm, meeting for 8 consecutive weeks. I'd love it if you joined me: https://bookinghawk.com/event/pause-breathe-cic/531/study-group-make-life-happier-online/57246

Loneliness Awareness Week got me thinking about how we can feel lonely as friendships change throughout our lives.

I'm now 49, and I'm not really hanging round with the same friends. There's been so many life changes over the last decade or so that I don't have as much in common with the people I used to spend a lot of time with.

Perhaps this resonates with you? Loneliness can creep up on us and sometimes we suddenly realise that we are missing something in our lives.

Perhaps you can find your tribe at Pause & Breathe? We're welcoming, friendly and here for you - so maybe check us out?
