DPSN is back online and we’re kicking off February with a few of our favourite blogs from 2017. This blog is Philip’s favourite – a blog piece Anna wrote on Feeling the Pressure late last year In an age where ‘harder, faster, more’ is the expected status in the workplace, it can be hard to say…

It’s strange how when we’re young, some of us can’t wait to be grown up. But when we become adults, people often talk about birthdays as if they are something to be afraid of. I heard someone the other day say, “I’ll be ‘the big 3-0’ soon!”, with a frightened look on her face. It made me take notice of her words, because when this birthday has passed, I’ll be ‘the big a-lot-more-than-that’.
Birthdays measure time passing; and with time, people get older. It’s just the way it is. But are those changes we go through as we age something to be frightened of?
