A few years ago, my life was full of deadlines and stress. The hustle and bustle of modern life seemed never-ending. I felt like I was always running – both literally and figuratively – trying to keep up with the pace. Even in quiet moments, my mind was far from still. It was always on to the next task, the next meeting, the next ‘to do’. Then one day, after years of feeling mentally drained, I made a life-changing decision. My partner and I quit our jobs, sold most of our possessions and moved full-time to a boat. We had no idea how profoundly this decision would affect our lives and, in particular, my mental wellbeing.
