BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Challenging Our Perceptions

Trying new things, changing our perceptions and challenging stereotypes...

Trying new things, challenging the norm and changing perceptions - of pain, of others and of ourselves.

Throughout January there are no New Year's Resolutions here on Personal Best! Instead Gillian Russell and the team are focusing on trying new things, changing our perceptions of what's possible and filling our lives with more of what's good for us so we can squeeze out some of the bad habits!

Kiko Matthews explains what new things she's trying this year and how she hopes her challenge of rowing across the Atlantic will empower other women to give something new a try...

Alex Rotas talks about discovering a passion for photography, her joy at photographing older athletes and why she wants her pictures to change perceptions and challenge the stereotypes many of us have about old age.

Rabbi Steve Leder, author of More Beautiful Than Before, explains how pain can have a purpose and that by changing our perceptions of and approach to pain - both physical and mental - we can actually learn from it and grow.
