Hi there,
Happy Monday!
Here’s your weekly dose of The Monday 3: a quote, an insight and an action I’m taking.
With love,
Toby
A quote I’m pondering
The courage of a master is measured by his willingness to surrender.

An insight
Depth of conversation collapses when you branch so keep to a single thread where possible.
Sometimes depth isn’t about better questions. It’s about not changing lanes too soon.
An action I’m taking
I’ve struggled with sugar cravings for decades. Recently I was introduced to urge surfing and it’s made a huge difference.
Try this.
Put a lolly on your tongue. Hold it there without swallowing at all - not the lolly, not the saliva that builds up. Notice that your body will tell you that you must swallow. Notice though, that you can still breathe through your nose and that, even with the urge to swallow, you can still choose not to.
Time yourself. See how long you last. Then repeat and work up to longer time periods.
On the back of practising this, I’ve been able to have a single lolly in a day and put the packet away in the drawer for the first time in years.
Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions, whether that’s a favourite quote or something else.
I hope you have a great week ahead.
With love,
Toby
