Every day in London is a school day, as Bernadette Russell proves

A

utumn is a great time for new
beginnings. It's perfect for keeping up
that "new term" feeling by learning
something you have always wanted
to do, but never found time for. Whether it's a
career-enhancing class or a drop-in workshop,
somebody, somewhere, teaches it in London.
Take advantage by finding out what is going
on near you, because doing classes is a great
way to meet new friends you'll already have
things in common with. Every year, my friend
Vanessa aims to learn one new thing. It could
be a whole year's course, or just a day workshop

Average hours per

gaining a new skill. I found this inspiring, so this
year I have completed an online course about
podcast creation, plus extra swimming lessons
to improve my technique. It had a positive effect
on my self-esteem and is a great stress reliever.
Being fully engaged in an activity took
my mind off my troubles and relaxed me.
Committing to learning something sets goals
and gives you the satisfying feeling of things
moving forward, so be kind to yourself and learn
something new!
Bernadette's latest book, The Little Book
of Wonder (£7.99, Orion Spring) is out now
