Should we stop saying should? Last weeks post was about language and the effect it has on our perspective. You can read that post here if you wish: Changing Language, Changing Perspective. I'd like to take another step into it. Should, it seems, is not a useful word when it comes to perspective. There's no …

Changing Language, Changing Perspective
The way we talk about something, be it a task ahead, a chore we have to do, or just anything or anyone in life we have to deal with, actually has an astounding effect on our perspective of the thing in question. Let me tell you a story of how this blog post came …
How to Define Progress…
In a world of instant gratification, a world of spotlights and showreels, a world of social media, it can be surprisingly hard, sometimes, for us to define something as simple as progress. Making progress is, simply put, moving forward. It can be a step of any size, as long as it is forward. It …
Cracks in the Porcelain
I think it's healthy to keep in mind that not everything is perfect and that everything has flaws. Last week I discussed that, in an ideal world, Social Media should be a place of acceptance and empathy; it honestly has that power, it's just more often than not it is abused. The thing is, whilst …
27th April to 3rd May: A Friday Feeling
Wow these posts roll around quickly! Probably testament to how busy I've been, or at least felt; so lets get started. Last weekend was one I had been looking forward to for a long time, which is why last week felt slow as I found myself counting individual seconds until it arrived. Friday, when the …
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 …
