Editor’s letter
As spring bursts into our lives, we invite you to clear the decks, quit the chaos and start prioritising your dreams and goals. Are you feeling brave enough to take a giant leap? Be inspired by Amber Key’s piece on page 26 about how she left her possessions behind and radically simplified her life – by living in a field! If this is a stride too far, turn to page 60 and take a small step with Anita Chaudhuri, who got herself a pencil case to spark change for our 18-page ‘Organise your life’ Dossier. Anita interviews Sarah Knight, author of Get Your Sh*t Together (Quercus, £12.99), a woman who truly walks the talk: while working a corporate job, she made a to-do list of 365 mini goals, which allowed her to save enough money to eventually leave the rat race and build a house on a tropical island in the Dominican Republic.
Little but powerful ‘life-tweaks’ run throughout this issue. On page 17, Oliver Burkeman shares how making tiny adjustments to the way that we speak to ourselves helps us forge a better relationship with ourselves. Learn how to tune into your sexual needs with Karla Newbey on page 46, as she experiments with unlocking her sensuality on her first tantra retreat.
