One of the things I've noticed recently is how productivity can have a huge impact on your feelings of self worth. By now, I've well documented the ups and downs of my mental health, trying to address where it goes wrong and where it gets better; honestly it's making me a little sea sick. It's …

Making My World Small
One phrase my therapist mentioned within our first ever interaction was that I was "making my world small". That stuck with me. It's a simple sentence that encompasses so much about how I deal with my problems and how I cope with anxiety/depression. It'll be different for everyone, we're all on our own journeys, but …
Catching That Snowball
Last week, you may have noticed, I didn't post anything at all. I didn't write any posts, I didn't reply to any comments, I didn't read any other blogs. The reason for this is I was having a bad week. Work ramped up, and still is ramping up, and I was feeling more and more …
Under Pressure
Pressure tends to be synonymous with negativity. When we're under pressure to produce something, we often feel stunted or limited. However, pressure in some forms can be a use for good. Anyone who knows me, or has read even just a couple of my posts, will know I procrastinate.... A lot.... I've recently learned that …
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 …
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 …
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 …
