I've been wrestling between two different elements of myself this week. After a walk around the shops and the realisation that sometime its important that you do something totally meaningless that's fun, to take all the seriousness out of everything. My enquiring mind brought me back to the two elements. Each one gives me something … Continue reading It’s A Hard Knock Life For Us!

Why Motivation To Change Is Imperative
I stood on the train station platform, watching ice be scraped off the windscreen of a parked car. It’s cold. Yet each day reminds me that we’re moving towards spring as the sun rises a little earlier each morning and provides us with gorgeous skies over crisp, silver grass. Overlooking the airport, an easyjet flight … Continue reading Why Motivation To Change Is Imperative
How to Deal With a Killer Commute
I’m learning how to cope with a killer commute as a newbie. Travelling in and out of London for the first time, at the age of 52 wasn’t planned. How I felt when I began was totally unexpected.

"I think I'd like to live & work in Bangkok." I told my husband. This was a little surprising because I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it ever since my first trip there.

I'm on the look out for why they came, what the … Continue reading Are You An Over Thinker Or Do You Have Too Much Thinking Time

Why Focus On What Makes You Well, Whilst dealing With What’s Made You Ill.
As I travelled, I began to develop a sense of wellbeing through a process of peak/flow moments. I consistently felt like an iridescent bubble, gently floating about an inch above the ground, as we travelled across the burnt umber, tundra of the australian outback. It hadn't taken me long to fully and consciously realise I … Continue reading Why Focus On What Makes You Well, Whilst dealing With What’s Made You Ill.
