<strong>December</strong><br />

As we approach the end of a testing year, it’s time to breathe a sigh of relief and<br />

recognise how resilient we really are. There may be more challenges to come, but<br />

together we can weather the storm<br />

voice of an angel, or would<br />

describe yourself as ‘musically<br />

challenged’, singing is a great<br />

way to lift your mood and<br />

calm a nervous mind. Pick your<br />

favourite Christmas anthem and<br />

sing your worries away. Why not<br />

put on a virtual concert for your<br />

nearest and dearest if you’re<br />

brave enough?<br />

‘Calm it Down’<br />

When times get<br />

tough, it can often feel like we’re<br />

fighting just to get through<br />

the day. American pianist<br />

and composer Chad Lawson<br />

talks us through how to find<br />

calm as we navigate the ups<br />

and downs of life, to help<br />

make what we think are big<br />

problems, much smaller.<br />
