    • Reflecting in times of change

    Activity 1 - Creating a Personal Brand

    Activity 2 - A guided reflection on change

    by psychotherapist Julia Samuel, as seen in The Guardian

    Get a notebook and write down your answers, or talk to someone you trust and take it in turns to explore these questions.

    What has changed?
    In your relationship with yourself? Your relationships with friends and family? Your relationships with work and with health – and any other important aspect of your life?

    From those changes…
    Which ones would you like to keep? How might you support yourself to embed them? This will include what you say to yourself, as well as your habits and decisions.

    Consider
    What are the things likely to get in the way?

    Remember, small steps can have big outcomes
    Picture yourself in a year’s time, after you have adapted and transitioned into the version of yourself and your life that you wish for. How would that feel? What would your belief about yourself be? Keep a list; make a mood board or Pinterest board of images that will inspire you in the weeks and months ahead. Add to it and change it, as you adapt and change.
