Making Fear an Opportunity

Closing a door, opens a window. Being afraid, creates an opportunity. I've written before about the Laziness of Fear; in which, I discuss how sometimes when I'm being 'lazy', it's actually that I'm scared. Now, I'd like to address how fear presents an opportunity for us. A few weeks ago, I'd describe my working world …

Friday Feeling – 13th to 19th April

In an attempt to write and blog more, and to make my blog more personal, I once started up a series called Friday Feeling; designed at being a journal-like entry into how my week had gone and feeling thankful for the events and happenings within it. Whilst my Monday Blogs are always about something personal, …

Appreciating Uncertainty

The unknown is often synonymous with fear; especially for those of us that are anxious or fearful of change. However, I want to pose a different perspective; that by accepting we don't know something for certain we can actually be better off. I've recently learnt about Mind Reading. I don't mean this in a literal …

Hidden Demons

No man is an island; but it can often feel like we're stranded out here alone. I've been dealing recently with some personal demons, you can read about these here: Asking for Help and Getting Worse to Get Better. As a continuation of the theme of my blog, I wanted to again address this idea of mental …

Getting Worse to Get Better

In last weeks post I addressed my recent diagnosis, and I touched upon how it made things feel more "real". In truth, it feels a lot like getting worse to get better and, as such, I felt it wise to probably document this and write about it; either as a therapy to myself or perhaps …

Asking for Help

It's been a while, but I'm back for #MondayBlogs, with a very personal post...

Why dreams are important (but not for the reasons you might think!)

We all have dreams, ambitions, and goals. We're told they're important, but what if the actual dream isn't as important as what it says about us? When we're younger we're instilled with a belief that we can be anything we want to, as long as we set our minds to it. We can be anything …

The Laziness of Fear

Does fear contribute to your laziness? Is laziness just another excuse? If you've been following along this Month, I've been talking about how to reach our goals and dreams this year. I thought it was a fitting topic for January, when the year is new, fresh, exciting and when many of us are making resolutions …

Small Steps into January

As we enter the second week of 2018 conversations tend to be rife with resolutions, changes, and even failures right at the start. Lets challenge that in my January Two-Parter. After the clocks struck midnight, I began chatting with one of my friends who was celebrating the New Year with us. We discussed a few …

“This is the Year I…”

Another Monday Blog lands on another special day. With last weeks landing on Christmas Day, my next post was always going to land on New Years Day. A lot of people I know don't give the New Year much credit; many people don't set resolutions and don't see it as all that big a deal. …
