Andy Mort Songwriter | Slow Coach | Somewhat Nomadic Do you want more time and energy for the important things in life? We all have those deep dreams that travel with us.

I help gentle rebel individuals and small businesses use their natural wholehearted care, creativity, and compassion, as foundations for an energising and sustainable future. Would you love to bring more of your natural self into the limited time you spend on this planet? What's yours? Maybe you want to write a book, take more photos, start a business, build a charity, play an instrument, learn to paint or dance. We carry these dreams around with us, but they always seem to get derailed or deferred. We stop believing in them. Other things take over, and we end up focussed on other peoples' demands and expectations. And our meaningful dreams get relegated to the "some day" pile, which if we're honest we know will never happen unless something changes.

“If you don’t prioritise your life, someone else will.” — Greg McKeown

Are you ready to change the story? What could be possible for you if you had the time, focus, and permission, to go after YOUR important stuff? Would might happen when you have the confidence to pursue your goals with clarity? How might things feel different if you had a simple strategy to help you deal with criticism, cope with stress, and enjoy life on your terms? Since 2012 I have worked to help thousands of of introverted and highly sensitive people connect with who they truly are, and uncover their vision for the future. Many of those gentle rebels talk of sacrificing their needs those of society and the people around them. And in so doing, they bend themselves out of shape, feel lonely, and disconnected from who they truly are. But something amazing happens when they finally connect THEIR deep values, dreams, and hopes with how they live their life. It changes EVERYTHING. They experience more inner calm, resilience, and joy. With clarity around what matters most, they can move in sync with the steady soul rhythms that beat beneath within. And this helps them build processes that show them the small and simple steps they need to take to close the gap between the here and the there. This is what I love helping people develop. I work with people to create maps that show them the areas of importance. So we can design routes around the terrain of the maps know exactly what they need to do to keep living in harmony with what matters most. We explore areas like your career and work, your important relationships, your physical health, creative hobbies, emotional wellbeing, fun and play, intellectual stimulation, and spirituality. These don't exist in isolation. They are all part of how you express the whole of who you are. And by mapping the entire vision of what your life COULD be, you will find more meaning, joy, and courage as you start to make it happen. What is your "thing"? Maybe you have a number of them. But if you could pick one to get started, what would you love to have? A book? A successful business? A performance? I would absolutely love to know! What's the dream? Mine was always to write, record, and release an album. As a songwriter and musician it felt so magical and compelling to me. But it also felt impossible...until it suddenly became possible. I've been fortunate enough to do it a few times now, and it never gets less exciting. Bringing an idea to life in creative ways is one of the most remarkable things we get to do as human beings. So there were no limits, what would you love to have as a result of your time on this planet?

I'll be making some sounds, singing songs from my back catalogue, and having some fun and frolic, as usual.

In the window
there’s a sliver of truth to this reflected in my eyes.
The presence of some absence up ahead.
Smoke rising.
Mirror hiding.
Mirage inviting.
Siren guiding.
A memory colliding
with a promise.

From last year’s Suomi Sessions. The Box is on Year 0, an album I released in 2014. The lyrics feel eerily more appropriate given the state of the world today than when I wrote them fourteen years ago.

It was cold that day. The plectrum kept falling from my numb fingers. The strings cut through my tips like cheese wire. But it was worth it. I think.

This is a snipped down version…a radio/reel edit, if you will.

Here’s a short exercise I picked up a while ago from a YouTube video. I think I remembered it accurately. It works wonders for a quick nervous system reset when you’re on the go with limited time. And you can practice it almost nowhere.

After the acoustic Suomi Session recording of June I shared yesterday, I thought I’d dig out two other versions: the original Aphron song from 2003, recorded at with the legendary John Rivers. And the instrumental track I put together twenty years on.

I recently heard from Caleb who painstakingly created the stop motion LEGO animation for the Gunfight at the OK Corral video in 2009. It’s had 237k views over the years. The comments are both lovely and terrifying. Lots of people mentioning nostalgia and how they watched it as children and are about to retire (maybe a slight exaggeration).

“I watched this back when I was in prep in 2010
I’m now finished with school crazy how well this video held up over time and shows how good it was” (this was 2 years ago)

I just revisited the video from the day we spent recording my parts in front of a green screen. Boy that was a challenge! Repackaged into a bitesize chunk. Drop me a message if you want to watch the whole of either/and/or/both.
