“Much of my recent life has been extremely challenging over the last two years. The whole thing has brought me back to life. From meeting wonderful people in the community to meeting myself through the exercises, to your wonderful, kind and fun support and encouragement, I have adored the whole thing. It has rejuvenated me and made me appreciate all life has to offer me.
And most importantly, I have shifted my mindset. "What if there was another way?" is now a daily mantra in our house with my kids. Life feels full of possibility for me now.
I live in rural Scotland and loved MYP for meeting new people and being part of an international community was so important to me. Learning from others, hearing their perspectives and just knowing that other people are exploring their lives was invigorating for me. I love having the opportunity to read the MYP collective thoughts — it always brings a new/different perspective and helps things click.
MYP far exceeded my expectations. I expected to explore the direction and focus of my life through a fun creative process. What I hadn't expected was such an impactful process of unlocking how I think about my life and how to approach reframing my thinking.
The three months flew by, but looking back over the exercises and journaling notes, I realise how much I have integrated a new way of thinking. As the weeks have gone on, I have solidified that and trust in my intuition and inner knowing.
The value of MYP was clearly explained from the outset, but it was only by exploring it for myself that I realised how much more it helped me evolve ways of thinking and behaving. I've absolutely loved doing the exercises for my curiosity and creativity to have a way to express myself.
Your role in all of this is to gently push me out of my comfort zone, connect dots, and to encourage sharing in the community —ultimately leading me to new perspectives. None of what I have done through MYP would be possible to deeply explore, embed and integrate, if I were to use a tech tool. The messiness of the exploration process is where the magic lies for me. That, and the fun, creative process.”
