Andrew, your 5MSM is my Friday morning treat, thankyou. I think gratitude is significantly undervalued in terms of what it can do for mental health and social connection. The fact that I am reading your article with a cup of tea in a warm house must mean that I am privileged beyond measure – a fact that I am grateful for everyday and every Friday when I read your skillfully crafted words of wisdom.
* the third space - a fabulous time optimisation concept for leaders who have little time and need to use the space between things as a way to reflect, reset and recharge https://dradamfraser.com/speaking-content/the-third-space
* Healthy skepticism framed as productive distrust - some interesting research specifically into the state of trust in 2025 had this as a frame. I don't know if I really love it, but it is a different way of thinking about it. https://in-dialogue.co/the-state-of-trust-2025
Thanks for the links Katie. I love the word liminal, it's a little akin to negative capability although the latter is probably closer to the Third Space link you sent which of course reminds me of the Third Space "board game" that you and I have experienced - we must have another play soon!
I also wanted to ask you Andrew, can you tell us what practices you use to stay connected to your purpose?
Real-life experiences, as updates are useful in understanding what the current trends are. Nothing is static, and there will always be ` progress' and `innovative ways' to counter protective measures. Keep alert and vigilant, and learn fast!

Oh nice! A couple if interesting connections between your 5MSM this week and other things I've come across in the last few weeks:
* Liminal - funnily enough, another person I follow in linkedin put a post up about this exact word just this week. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matthewmansell_a-meditation-on-liminality-in-leadership-activity-7340604147789897729-myRv?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAAvPCUBvHoxsx7Q-8qUMXGStdt2m90yEO8
