We often hear about the importance of ‘controlling the controllables’.
But real progress comes when we shift our relationship with the emotions that the uncontrollables can provoke. There’s nothing marginal about the gains that will bring.
#TheTreeThatBends will help you make the shift.

How’s your relationship with yourself?
Sometimes, it’s about recognising that the acceptance we may need most isn’t found in others, but within ourselves.
