I am a practising Catholic and as such I celebrate Christmas (not that you need to be Catholic for that these days). It seems like 2 minutes since last Christmas and it certainly doesn't feel like we should be nearly half-way through December already! This has got to be, by far, the busiest time of … Continue reading Holidays Are Coming

Keeping the Promises You Make to Yourself
So I don't know what you guys are like - but I'm very serious about the promises that I make to other people. I try not to make promises that I can't keep, and when I do make promises I do the best I can to keep them. I think it's an important part of … Continue reading Keeping the Promises You Make to Yourself
Why Starting your day at 5am is recommended for achieving more!
I've seen the recommendation to start your day at 5am from multiple 'guru's' on social media, and seen a lot of other bloggers/youtubers on their own self development journeys give this a try and say how amazing it was. I even watched a buzzfeed video about success habits where waking up at 5 was one … Continue reading Why Starting your day at 5am is recommended for achieving more!
Preparing To Move (hopefully) Forward
I'm nearly 2 months into my journey for being a better me. That's not very long, but I think it's going well so far. At the very least I feel like I am starting to establish some new habits that will be a positive influence on my life, and I'm starting to get some things … Continue reading Preparing To Move (hopefully) Forward
Continuing to Build my Starter Habits
This week has been about continuing with the habits I've already started building, trying to get them more routine, and doing a few introspection exercises. So I thought that this week I would go through some of the things that I have been doing since I started this self-development project and how they are going … Continue reading Continuing to Build my Starter Habits
Reclaiming my Progress
There's an important distinction in life - some progress is better than none! - Particularly when the progress is purposeful. Last week's post discussed how I had stalled a little in my progress. In my first post I had said the the hard part was to start and then it continued to be hard while … Continue reading Reclaiming my Progress
Progress has stalled this week
With this blog I thought about all of the steps I had been implementing, listed them down and was set for the topics for my first few blogs. It made it easier to keep up the momentum, but it isn't technically what I started this blog for. Although one day I hope to be able … Continue reading Progress has stalled this week
Becoming A More Productive You
It's a fact of life that you get very little without having to work for it. To become a better me means having to both do and learn more than I am already doing. This feels like a massive task and I also feel like I already work a lot and have very little free … Continue reading Becoming A More Productive You
This part shouldn’t have been as hard as it was …
Of the research that I have done so far into how to build a better me, the main thing that everyone seems to say is needed is 'Goals'. It makes sense - you can't aim or work for something if you don't know what it is right? If there is something that you want then … Continue reading This part shouldn’t have been as hard as it was …
Where am I starting from?
Over my life, and particularly over the last month where I've been actively looking for advice and information on things that impact my life, I've been particularly looking for advice from people I can relate to. Not all experiences are universal and not all advice is capable of crossing barriers of location, or age, or … Continue reading Where am I starting from?
