As referenced in last week’s post, The 2020 - 2021 school year, has been one in which a high degree of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) has existed.

Whilst the summer vacation is typically a time to reflect, relax and rejuvenate, this year the emphasis on self care is especially paramount. Thus, I offer these quotes upon which to meditate while spending time at home, away from home or in a self-isolation/quarantine period.

Rasheed Ogunlaru’s Simple Tips for Life are self-explanatory and Lessons from 2020 continue (despite it already being halfway through 2021) to be relevant. Mason Cooney’s quote has - over the last eighteen months - been apt and is particularly so now as having returned from Malaysia to the UK, I find myself in a mandatory ten day self-isolation/quarantine period.

Stay safe, stay well and have a reflective, relaxing and rejuvenating summer break!
