Andrea McLean Instagram – 4 things I did last week to fill my cup that had nothing to do with work:
I am a day late doing this – it’s been a busy one!
Last week was quite something, so many lovely things to get me out of the house and doing something different – something I appreciate so much more these days.
1. Mr F and I went to the @how.to.academy to hear a talk by hostage negotiator @scottwalkerbooks Wow. I thought I had pretty good diplomacy skills, but he was incredible! (So interesting to hear that his kids can still run rings round him though 😅)
2. We went to The Sun’s ‘Who Cares Wins Awards’. What night. We met so many wonderful people, and I was thrilled that I was by chance seated next to a woman who is literally listed in the notes section of my phone as an incredible human that I would love to meet. Her name is Sarah July de Lagarde, and she sadly came to public prominence after a horrific accident falling from a tube platform last year left her a double amputee. I was so inspired baby her mindset, and her attitude to this life-altering event, that I vowed to meet her. And I did! She is an amazing woman, with a beautiful spirit, I liked her enormously. I also realised that I stupidly didn’t ask for a photo – next time! @sjdelagarde
3. I have been slowly, slowly, focusing on getting well and building up my strength over the past five months. I went back to the gym six weeks ago, and have been working on my own, at my own pace, and incrementally I have started to feel and see a change. I feel good! Nick took this video of me, and I was shocked by how strong I look. It’s a nice feeling, like I am coming back again. 💪
4. We reunited with our amazing @thebodycampofficial friends in Hyde Park at the weekend, to support @bryonygordon @mentalhealthmates It was soooooooo good to see everyone, and walk in the Autumn sunshine. It’s obvious why walking and talking is good for the head and great for the soul. Loved it.
What 4 things have you done?
