I have a tendency to be a bit of a dabbler, and to not push myself and put 100% into things. I'm one of those people that can get by without having to do that, so I haven't bothered. But that's not who I want to be. Because if everything that I have achieved so … Continue reading Approaching things with purpose
Prepare to Fail! or so the saying goes. Since I've returned from my holiday, I've not been great at continuing all of the habits and techniques that I had started building. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Part of the reason for this is that, for one reason or another, I've not had the chance … Continue reading Fail to Prepare …

We also spend more time inside and looking at screens than is considered good for us. Needless to … Continue reading Healthier Living – A Starting Point
I am very bad at making decisions. I have been for as long as I remember, it doesn't matter if the choice has big or small impacts, having to choose is anxiety inducing.
