Welcome! We share a short extract from our monthly newsletter on Medium. Check it out below.

Mary here and welcome to Now You’re Talking Network’s May newsletter edition: Spending time with your thoughts

‘All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.’ ― Blaise Pascal

I know that lockdown is not easy by any means but I heard this quote a while back and recently I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. How often do you spend time alone with your thoughts — I mean truly alone, no podcasts, no books, no TV on in the background.

I have been spending more time intentionally bored recently and it has helped my creativity so much. So I challenge you, what’s so wrong with being alone and how can we utilise this current environment to tap into the beauty of spending time with our thoughts?

Stay safe and well and I hope you enjoy this newsletter!

NYT Show and Tell Review

‘Such amazing, talented, inspiring and uplifting women. I’ve taken so much from this and will be sure to use it within my own personal development and hopefully development of my own business sometime in the future! Thank you!’

On Thursday 7th May we held our first Show & Tell Evening, a relaxing, supportive and open showcase of skills and passions by female millennials. We had over 70 attendees and 11 speakers and we know many of you enjoyed it!
