I am just going to write and see where this goes. Writing is my way of unscrambling my thoughts and reprioritising what is important. TLDR: You cannot do everything you want at the same time, listen to your body, rest. For regular readers It has been an intense couple of weeks. I have been pushingContinue reading “Muddled (unplanned)“

Stress and Anxiety
Fragments The importance of rest and purpose Summary/TLDR at the end. Let me pre-empt this by pointing out that, as the subtitle suggests, I have not been getting enough rest. It follows that I am not writing at my best, but I hope this will serve as a reminder to you to get enough rest!Continue reading “Stress and Anxiety“
Prioritising
Like me recently, you may have found yourself with a seemingly ever-growing list of tasks and no idea how to prioritise. This is what I learned (inspiration from Earl Knightingale and Tom Bilyeu): The good news: learning to prioritise is not as complicated as it seems. The answer lies in knowing your “why”. i.e. WhatContinue reading “Prioritising“
Spontaneous Self-Reflection
Go to the end for lessons learnt. Let’s see where this goes… This is an unplanned exercise in regaining some clarity. Writing is, for me, a healing and growing exercise. It allows me to externalise what is important to me at any given time. It helps me to clear my mind and regain focus. TimeContinue reading “Spontaneous Self-Reflection”
Level up in 2022
How to increase your wealth by setting meaningful goals and investing in yourself It is a New Year and a fresh start. This is the first New Year for as long as I can remember that I have been excited for the coming year. What’s the difference this time? I spent most of December workingContinue reading “Level up in 2022“
Goal-setting
It has taken me most of my life to take up my dad’s advice. Goal-setting seemed so boring and restrictive before. Now it is essential. What changed? After a family member’s suicide and getting scarily close myself, I spent a lot of time trying to understand and learn about why people end their lives. ThisContinue reading “Goal-setting”
Feeling Good
My outlook is changing, I am believing more and more is possible and this is opening me up to more and more motivation and inspiration. Escaping the limits in my mind of what is possible has built the motivation I need to push further into achieving more. It is like the fog is lifting, theContinue reading “Feeling Good”
Root Cause
My experience of depression. (Hint-it is not a chemical imbalance…) It is now understood that there are many causes of depression, not just the standard (“it’s a biological”/”It’s a chemical imbalance in your brain”). Although I knew it deep down, I have only recently established the root cause of the depression I experience. While biologicalContinue reading “Root Cause “
Passion Part 2
Where to start? Excuses If anyone wondered what happened to me, I have been on somewhat of a journey over the last few months. I disappeared for a while, my excuse to myself was an inability to produce anything of quality due to a lack of available time and energy but I now see thatContinue reading “Passion Part 2”
Apathy
For the past few weeks I have mostly been feeling nothing. Not happy, not sad. Just…nothing…
For a person with depression, this could be seen as a positive, as it looks stable, even manageable, but for me it is a dangerous path.
Change
If you want to thrive, you must first survive. To achieve these outcomes, you must first be willing to adapt. There is no growth without change. If you do not adapt you will get stuck or left behind.
General update
t has been a tough few weeks. My mental health has taken a dive and I do not feel able to write anything of quality at the moment.
When I am feeling better I will start writing constructive posts again, but for now, here is an update.
