Supporting this very worthy cause around Mental Health awareness 🙌🏼

So Charlie is a very good friend of mine and in the coming months here at THE TRIG POINT we are going to be following him very closely to document his journey on this epic challenge. What he is aiming to achieve is incredible and I hope every can get behind him.

Being so close to Charlie I have witnessed first hand the struggles he has had adjusting to civilian life,
Not only is he making the decision to help himself but he wants to help others as well. I think you will
Agree that Charlie is a true inspiration.

We will be working together very closely to document Charlie and his journey to create awareness for veterans and mental health so watch this space.

Read Charlie’s own words below ⬇️

In light of recent events and shortly off of the back of Mental Health awareness week, I have decided to no longer stand still. Mental health, it’s stigma and the consequences it has and continues to cause have affected me and my life in more ways than one, one too many times.

Although mental health is affecting all walks of life this day and age and no one case is more important than another. The Soldier and Veteran community is a group that sits very closely to my heart and unfortunately, illnesses such as depression, anxiety and PTSD are particularly prevalent amongst our Armed Forces.

To this end, I have teamed up with the charity Combat Stress. Combat Stress provide a helpline as well as therapy sessions, counselling and around the clock support for many of our unfortunate sufferers. On the 13th of November 2021, the day before Remembrance Sunday, I will be on the start line with many others, ready to cover 76km (around 47 miles) on foot from Aldershot to Portsmouth for the Race to Remember Ultramarathon! 🏃🏻‍♂️⛰

I’m putting myself to this challenge to help raise awareness and vital funds for the charity to continue to go about its business and help our troops! If you can help with a donation, no matter how big or small, it would be greatly appreciated. You can find out more about the race, the charity and donate! Via my fundraising page https://events.combatstress.org.uk/fundraisers/charliemorris-cook and please follow my journey in training and the race itself on the day via Facebook,Instagram and The Trig Point fb page.

In the meantime, look out for your friends and loved ones, Soldiers or not. We all face issues of our own and it needs to be known that it’s okay not to be okay! Reach out and speak out. There are always shoulders to lean on, ears that’ll listen and mouths that have answers.

Thank you for reading all and have a great weekend - I’m off for a run!! 🤪🏃🏻‍♂️

Use the 21/90 rule: It takes 21 days to create a habit. It takes 90 days to create a lifestyle.

What new habits are you developing to improve your lifestyle? 🤔 🧠 💪🏻🙏🏻

Today’s the first day of homeschooling and remote learning for the girls! 🏫 👩🏼‍💻 The learning and growing never stops! 🤓

My tip so far is to print out their timetable or schedule and have them do the lessons at the same time and tick off each lesson or activity as they go through the day. Helps to give them that same routine and structure as if they’re at school.

What will 2021 hold for you?

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year 🥳 Grateful for all I have in my life and always looking forward to what’s in store in 2021! May it be a heathland and prosperous year for us all! 💙🙏🏻🥂🎇

We talk about our “why”, and what drives us on to better our lives and those around us. Well my “why” began exactly 10 years ago today, when my eldest daughter Lydia came into my life 🥰 Every day I’m very proud to be her father and of the beautiful young lady she’s becoming 👱‍♀️ xx.

Happy 10th birthday big girl # # # 😯 ❤️

Well said Jim

Remember, self-love and self-care are not selfish. 💚

Setting boundaries around your time, emotions, mental health, and space is incredibly vital at any time, but especially when you don’t sleep. ✨

Leave a “YES” below if you agree👇

If you feel depressed, it's okay to talk about it.

If you feel anxious, it's okay to talk about it.

If you feel lonely, it's okay to talk about it.

If you are struggling with any mental health problems, it's okay to talk about it.

So let’s talk about it 🗣🙏🏻

This was my third marathon, the inaugural Birmingham Marathon and the last one I’ve run to date. But boy it was my hardest one by far! Felt such relief to make it over the finish line and proud that I did 🏅 🏃🏻‍♂️

It’s a reminder to me that your mind is always stronger than your body, and that you can always push yourself that extra 5 or 10% more if you really have to! 💪🏻 🧠



💪

A little progress each day adds up to big results.

It’s amazing what big results can be achieved from small consistent daily actions, all leading you to your goals and dreams.

It’s all part of being consistent and persistent, and being fuelled by a burning desire to make a positive change in your life.

♥️ with my eldest daughter Lydia. She wasn’t quite sure why at the time I was dressed as everyone’s favourite arachnid 🕷 superhero 🦸‍♂️ Spider-Man lol 😁 (FYI it was my latest fancy dress outfit for an obstacle course race I was participating at the time).

But the one thing she is ALWAYS sure of is that regardless of whether or not I’m dressed as a superhero, being her Daddy means I am ALWAYS her superhero...no matter what!

That’s a responsibility I take with immense pride and responsibility as their father, and I always want to be there for her and her sister to inspire and protect them, so that they can live their best lives! 🥰

So, have a think about who YOUR superhero 🦸🏻‍♀️ 🦸‍♂️ is in your life 😊🙏🏻

Rule #1 of Life: Do what makes you happy! 😊

Are you doing today what makes you happy...or do you need to make changes in your life? 🤔



🚫

This was my being able to do the school run and drop my daughter at school! 🥰

It’s something I’m extremely grateful 🙏🏻 to be in a position to do, as I know so many parents (especially Dads) who aren’t able to because of their jobs and other situations.

What is your Monday morning motivation? 😊

Make excuses or make changes. The choice is yours.

Take yourself on and start marking positive changes in your life today - as there is no better time. But ensure to take responsibility for your own successes and failures, as you’ll encounter both along the way 💯%! You can’t have the good without the bad 🙏🏻



🚫

Do you keep looking back on where you’ve come from or forwards to what’s to come?

The only thing I'm committed to right now is bettering myself.

Can you say the same about yourself?

So, after four very long months without a haircut 💇‍♂️ the day has finally arrived for me to have a trim at last!! 🤩🙏🏻

Learn from your past, but don't be controlled by it.

Lockdown has meant a lot of time indoors at home isolating from others and the outside. This has meant a restriction on freedom of movement and freedom to spend time as a family doing things together we enjoy! So, it was so good to be free again to spend the day outside in the sunshine ☀️ and feeling that energy again! But the best thing of the lifting of the restrictions has been seeing my kids enjoy themselves! Life is here to enjoy with the ones you love the most making memories 🙏🏻😊 Sooo grateful

Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.

Wishing my beautiful little girl 👧🏼 Gracie a very happy 6th birthday 🎂 today 🥰

Learn not to give a f**k, you will be happier.

Freedom of expression it a wonderful gift to have. And I have the gift of knowing I encourage my daughters to express themselves in any art or form they chose. So, I wanted to share this drawing ✍️ by my 9yp daughter Lydia. She loves to draw and feels at ease expressing herself in art. It feels me with a lot of pride and gratitude when she proudly shows off her handy work to me 🙏🏻☺️ ✏ ❤️

Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep the faith. It will all be worth it in the end.

🙏

3 years ago I was in Berlin and visiting Checkpoint Charlie.

Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming.

💯

Working hard for something we don't care about is called stressed; working hard for something we love is called passion.

Be patient. Good things will come 🙏🏻

Mentorship | Digital Freedom For All Think of a time over your life...have you ever learnt anything that you've learnt without a teacher, trainer or mentor getting involved in some way? I suspect the answer is "No". Do you

We humans all know that owls 🦉 are wise and sage birds. That’s why we look up to wiser more experienced people to learn what they know, so to model their success and better ourselves. Learning from the best, people who have achieved the what you want to achieve, will mean you will become a better version of yourself. This is what I’m doing by learning from the best online business mentors by investing in their world-class education and training.

If you want to create freedom and break free from your current situation if that is not serving you anymore...then the key to all of this is education! Education brings you grow and fulfillment as you expand your mind and skills that ultimately allows you to accomplish more of what you want from life. Knowledge is power, and there is no better time to garner the power of education than now during this current global crisis. That’s what I’m doing to better my situation now and in the future for my kids.
