November was a month with so many conflicted thoughts and a mixed bag of emotions, a real rollercoaster of a month. Not sure the reason for such a mixed month as in general everything is going swimmingly really, well apart from exercise (have just lost motivation for this, more about that next month!) but workContinue reading “November 2021 – Alien in New York”

July 2021 – Running on Empty
July is a bit of a strange month for me, it’s my birthday month which I often find challenging. I feel like I’m running on empty, completely devoid of energy, exhausted and lost all my mojo for life, not in a depressed way so to speak but just no motivation to do things I usuallyContinue reading “July 2021 – Running on Empty”
January 2021 – Escapism at home
As we entered a new year the inevitable announcement came that once again we were being asked to Stay Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives. One thing I decided to do with the lockdown announcement was to turn my phone off at the weekend as I don’t need to be anywhere and in mostContinue reading “January 2021 – Escapism at home”
Default Setting
As humans I believe we are all creatures of habit, have our funny quirks for doing things. One thing I know I do is mindless turn on the TV at the end of the working day and spend the evening staring at the screen on the wall without really watching it, I find that IContinue reading “Default Setting”
June 2020 – Raving Fan
Following on from May’s post this month I’ve put a lot of focus on myself and self-love. This is something I’ve struggled with over the years and often feel like it’s selfish, however, I’m learning that if I’m not in the best place then I can’t be there for my friends and family so workingContinue reading “June 2020 – Raving Fan”
January 2020 – So many possibilities
I’m always a little apprehensive about the start of a new year and this year it’s a new decade too. I guess it’s a mixture of the excitement of what the year might bring but also the overwhelming feeling of fear for the next twelve months and not repeating behaviours that haven’t serve me wellContinue reading “January 2020 – So many possibilities”
120 Day challenge
As we are 2/3rd through 2019 and just 120 days until the end of the year I’ve decided that I’m going to do a few things daily for the next 120 days. Nothing huge just a few small actions that will move me towards being a better me!! Meditate or do some mindfulness practice forContinue reading “120 Day challenge”
August – Lifting Fog
So the start of the month continued in the same vein as July with feeling pretty down/sad and in a way defeated. My situation hasn’t really changed much and not really sure where the month has gone, I’ve had some dark days where just doing life has been a challenge when I’ve been out inContinue reading “August – Lifting Fog”
Distractions
Following on from my post about balance a the end of March, things haven’t quite gone to plan!! For the last two weeks, I’ve not stepped foot in the gym, not done any form of fitness and allow circumstances & distractions to get the better of me! Life has so many ways of challenging usContinue reading “Distractions”
In this connected world…
… how comes the number of people who feel lonely is growing? And at times me being one of those people!! Now I’m not looking for sympathy as I’ve chosen my life and in the most parts, I’m really happy as I’m beholden to no-one but every so often I do get pangs of loneliness!!Continue reading “In this connected world…”
