IntroductionAfter almost a decade of studying and living personal development, I’ve come to realise that a lot of the advice (including some of my own!) on making goals is convoluted. This puts many people off and makes it hard for them to achieve their goals. Goal-making doesn’t need to be complicated. I’ll walk you throughContinue reading “Goals (III)”

0. An Introduction
This is the introduction to the start of a monthly, year-long series discussing elements of living a fulfilled life, covering fundamentals of mental health, mindset, behaviour, education, core values, passion, purpose, mission, vision, goals, legacy and learning to enjoy the journey. If you have not read ‘The Vision’, yet, I suggest you start there first.
Supporting the Mission and Vision
If you have not read The Vision, please read that first and then come back here. To implement the mission and vision, I need to spend more and more time writing. Over time, I plan to gradually reduce the hours spent at my main job to focus more and more on the mission and vision.Continue reading “Supporting the Mission and Vision”
The Vision
After considerable reflection, I realise my understanding of vision was incomplete so I am updating and expanding this post. Although I write a lot about mental health, I am not a medical or mental health professional – always seek professional help first. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, seek emergency medical help immediately.Continue reading “The Vision”
Root Cause
My experience of depression.

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

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.
Dreams
See “Time management” for productivity and efficiency tips. Background When I was younger, I had big dreams and I was uncompromising on achieving these. I did not like the idea of being tied down to a single job or debt-forced to work, unable to take risks, fearful of losing the ability to pay a mortgageContinue reading “Dreams”
Triggers and Tools
Actionable steps that have helped me improve my mood:
1. Recognise triggers
2. Develop tools
3. Choose how to spend time wisely
4. Be present
Passion
Think about the last time you spoke to someone who was passionate about something. Their whole face lights up, you can see the fire in their eyes, they have a sparkle…Doors open to people who are passionate about what they do.
