The Grumpy Optimists #NA

🧠 This week I'm taking a break for a pretty important reason, mental health.

Hello all, good morning and welcome to not an episode of The Grumpy Optimists.

This week instead of covering all the latest positive climate news I’ve decided to take a break for my mental health.

It’s also Movember, and while I can’t grow a moustache due to a horrendous lack of facial hair, I can highlight the issue through this blog and to the thousands of you who read each week. Shockingly, on average, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day around the world.

Alongside giving myself a chance to breathe, and have a full weekend to relax, exercise and eat good food, the pause this week is also an opportunity to highlight that sometimes it can all get a bit too much, and that’s okay.

So this week I ask you not to like, share or comment on this post, but to call a mate, your siblings, your parents, your kids, whoever it may be, find out how they’re doing, tell them you love them and make plans to see them.

We’ll be back to our regular weekly emails next week, but for now, thank you for listening and be well.

Love,

George, The Grumpy Optimist.

P.S. For those of you who are only here for the music recommendations, whack on some Noah Kahan and feel happy.
