Lighten up… this month’s big question

Lighten up… this month’s big question

This month we asked our columnists and celebrities: ‘Where do you need to lighten up?’ You can read what they said below, but we want to hear your answers, too. Where do you need to lighten up? Comment below or tell us via Twitter or our Facebook page.

Kim Cattrall
‘I always do the maximum but I’m starting to realise that sometimes it’s best to do nothing and let things be. So I have to get over my fear of letting go, and see what happens.’

Jason Isaacs
‘About God. I don’t know how, in the light of all the evidence to the contrary, rational and compassionate people can buy into it. I become obsessed and insistent about it in social situations.’

Sarah Churchwell
‘I tend to think the best way to be stress free is to excel at everything. Now I am going to stress about what areas I ought to be lightening up in…’

Isy Suttie
‘I have to stop getting so annoyed at traffic and travel delays – I have to put on classical music and do deep breathing. I just think. ‘What would Richard Branson do?’ He seems like he’d remain calm in any circumstance.’

Sally Brampton
‘I’ve got to try and learn that having fun is not a waste of time. I’m so over-responsible that sometimes I bore even myself.’
