I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I really struggle with doing things that I'm not good at. I don't like to fail But I know that often the quickest way to achieve is to put yourself into a situation before you think you are ready, with the knowledge you could fail. I know that … Continue reading Be Prepared To Fail
Gyms have been open for a little while now and my gym has been very careful about not pushing us too fast as a lot of people have had very limited access to equipment for most of a year. It's now gotten to a point where I feel like I can start putting some proper … Continue reading Listening to my Body
It has been a long time now since I've been in formal education. I learn a lot, but it's more about following an interest rather than anything with a structure.

Sharing is caring, and that's what you're here for 🙂 If … Continue reading 2 Month Progress Check

If you are interested in learning more about this, I recommend James Clear's book 'Atomic Habits', or he has a website … Continue reading Making a Habit Scorecard
I have a confession to make ... This week's post was supposed to be about me putting together a 'Habits Scorecard' as part of my actions prescribed from reading 'Atomic Habits'. It's one of his first recommendations, to track pretty much every action you make and then rate against your goals as either positive, negative … Continue reading Knowing and Doing are Different
As discussed in a previous post, one of my goals for 2021 is to lose 5kg of fat by June. This is specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and time-bound - otherwise known as a S.M.A.R.T goal.
