Great advice! It really is as simple--and as difficult--as putting down the phone and giving yourself space and time and permission to write.

Been following your YouTube since 2020 and this newsletter just makes everything hit so much more. Excited to follow your journey on here. Keep inspiring young adults like myself to just get out there and show up. I love it! One thing I heard this week that I thought about while reading this: What sacrifices can you make today in order to make tomorrow better? A lot of times i agree with you the best thing we can do is just start. Peace Jon!

A lot gets said that Blue Monday is a corporate tool to try an sell more gym memberships etc - but I guess if it helps sharpen anyone's focus on mental health (like it has a little for myself) and makes me want to listen to New Order - or the quite good cover by noisy HEALTH... then it can't all be bad.

Enjoyed the read - Going through a little of a home life (what I hope is just a) blip so encouraged by your words. Hope everyone goes out an crushes their week whatever you set out to do!

Orgy's "Blue Monday" is that slap tho!!!

Jon, I've been along for the journey since Rock Reacts. Your last newsletter touched my soul in a big way fam. You said lots of things that really connected with me, as you often do, but I just wanted to say thanks for starting this Hit/Record project.

Cheers mate

I saw an interesting quote online earlier this month and it has been ingrained in my head. "You want it because your future self already has it". This definitely helped me put things into perspective when it comes to actively achieving my goals this year.

Also the new Kali Uchis album "ORQUIDEAS" is excellent, you should definitely give it a spin!
