A little while back I decided to take the plunge and seek professional help for my anxiety. I've been working on it myself for years, and I'm a million miles better than I used to be, but I found that I was just struggling and getting more and more frustrated with myself. My first therapist … Continue reading Has Therapy Worked?
A lot of people go a little bit crazy about sales. It's easy to see how, the advertising encourages it and everything is presented as something that you can't possibly miss or you'll be missing out. They want you to feel like you are 'loosing' if you don't buy into their offer. This goes for … Continue reading Is It Really A Saving?
We are already half way through November! Even with keeping on top of planning and time - that seems to have come around quickly. I decided that as there is now less than 2 months left of the year, it's a good point to put some extra motivation behind myself for the different things I … Continue reading The End (of 2019) is Nigh!
