1. Beware of Social Media 2. Go out 3. Sleep 4. Have a routine 5. Read

People should generally take up reading more. Read anything you have even a faint interest in. It reduces the feeling of being alone and broadens your view on life.

I have his comfort book. I read one of it's short "lessons" after my yoga and meditation. A sweet way to start my day.

Matt Haig’s work is my newest obsession. Midnight Library is as fabulous as the reviews say. Luckily I have book amnesia so it will feel like I’m reading it for the first time the next time I go to read it 😂 His overarching message in that book resonated with me so deeply, I felt like my body mind and soul devoured it alongside my eyeballs. It was lovely. I am now planning on reading every book of his! And I thought his name deserved proper pronunciation when I tell friends who my fave author is, so now I’m here. Which of course, is another great piece put out by Matt. I’m a fan!

I am surprised to admit I have just discovered Matt Haig. After devouring his books and and watching his interviews it's wonderful to see him put so much collected wisdom in this four minute yup tube video. I have taken early retirement from teaching and have lots of time on my hands for the first time in my life. Like "Tom Hazard" I am finding and repurposing myself, my relationships and where I chose to live. Matt Haig has been like a map on my recent journey. He is flawed, of course, but experienced, honest and wise.
