As you are probably aware, we have had to completely change our business model to be able to allow SMASH London to continue our mission to strengthen physical and mental health. These exceptional times have pushed us to bring forward a part of our blueprint we had set for later this year - one-to-one online personal training.

Before anything else... you are strong, you are loved, you are beautiful

And... breathe.

Whether it's a government issued home-stay or it's just a rainy day where we are house-bound, I've put together a list of some of the more mindful ways to avoid watching every single series that Netflix has to offer!

Some of you will already know about the sad news I received last week, but if you don't and may be triggered by talk of death or drug use, it may be best to come back to this email when you are ready.

The SMASH team are working on some exciting projects right now, so our March will be full of a lot of excitement…

Can we challenge ourselves to take a day out of our year to do something different? Maybe something that we need to check off our bucket list?

If you haven't already, join the revolution.

'I love myself'

Sam and Ash

Last weekend I went to my 'home town' of Manchester for the first time in over 4 years. Although it's the place where I grew up, I realised that, as of this year, it hasn't been my home for 18 years! That's half of my life where I've been a 'southerner'!

An old man is teaching his grandson about life:

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is bad – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

“Because you'll find out that we come, In different shapes and sizes”

We are each unique, amazing and inspirational in our own way. Even if we cant see it in ourselves, believe me when I say that there will be something about you that somebody will aspire to have in themselves and more often than not, we never know just how many people we are inspiring without even trying!
