James Middleton took to social media
to share that this month was one that he’d always considered quite difficult
and opened up about why that was.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s brother revealed that it was hard for him to
match the jovial spirits of people around him when he’d suffered from clinical
depression.
However, he then stated that he’d adopted a new mantra with the help of
his dogs, to stop reflecting on the past or future and focus on the present. He
paired his message with a series of photos of himself on a walk with his
adorable brood and his wife, Alizee Thevenet.
She lovingly looked up at him and posed alongside the pups as they were
out walking them in the stunning English countryside.
His caption read: “My thoughts on January…I’ve always found January
a very difficult month, especially when I was suffering from clinical
depression. When everyone is setting new goals, laying down new ground rules
and striving to become a better version of themselves, while some of us are
just about surviving…

“I have, however, set myself a new mantra which was inspired by my
dogs… Don’t spend every moment thinking of the one to come, or ones in the
past. The past is imperfect, the future will be too, but now – we can do
something about that. So right now… I’m going to take the dogs for a long walk
hand in hand with my Wife.”
No doubt James is doing better this January not only with the support of
his dogs but also given that this is his first month as a newlywed.
Many took to the comments to praise James for his message, as one wrote:
“Well said. I needed this reminder today, so thank you for sharing,”
and another added: “Dogs make everything better…”

January! Unconditional love from the pups,” with a heart emoji.
