How to make every day a good day: Henry Fraser

Could the keys to making every day a good day basically come down to three things: acceptance, presence and gratitude? This week's guest says so. His name is Henry Fraser, a best-selling painter, best-selling author and highly in-demand public speaker. When he was seventeen years old – Henry’s life changed in a moment when he was paralysed from the shoulders down after breaking his neck diving into the sea in Portugal. In the weeks that followed, he nearly died several times - but Henry’s hardest moment actually came a few months after his accident when he first caught sight of his reflection. He experienced a profound breakdown, swiftly followed by a breakthrough that started the process of him becoming the man he is today.

Before his accident, despite being an academy rugby player for Saracens, Henry described himself as being quite fearful and anxiety prone – a glass half empty kind of guy – but he’s definitely not any more. The lessons Henry shares about the power of acceptance, presence and gratitude are so profound and simple to understand. These are the key skills any of us can develop to live a good and happy life, whatever the circumstances we find ourselves in

**A quick heads up - I am soon going to be having a short break from putting out full length episodes, probably after next week’s conversation

Basically I need to focus on finishing my book, so am going to be putting all my energy and focus on that for a short while. I will continue to be putting out bitseized episodes each week, and will be back soon. So – please do stay subscribed, and please do share this week’s episode!**

My debut book - Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is available to buy from January 18. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews from this podcast over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found. Flow is a fundamental theme.
