This is something that has crept up on me. I’ve always had strong opinions on the way mobiles have changed the world and lead to us becoming disconnected from reality. Over the last few years I’ve found myself wasting so much time scrolling endlessly on stuff that adds no value to me. It was neverContinue reading “Screen time”

I know I have a lot to say about a lot of things really, lots of thoughts to share and reflect on. I’ve been doing the classic ‘do anything other than what I know is good for me’. I’m very good at keeping my physical discipline, exercising every day and setting targets/goals to keep meContinue reading “Avoidance”

Or lack thereof. That’s been the pattern since my last post 18 months ago. It’s a funny (not funny) thing that creeps up and gets chipped away at. I’ve realised that I’m an introvert who learned to become an extrovert. I learnt to trust myself and my judgement and to just be myself. Since theContinue reading “Engaged”

Again, I wrote this the same evening as I wrote the previous blog. In my mind I remembered it as talking about connection but it was in fact communication. It’s funny, looking back and reflecting on this because I was actually doing real life communication with people on the walk, with the wildlife I encountered,Continue reading “Communication”

I wrote the following whilst on my first hike on the Great Ocean Walk (April 15-17th). I had lots of time on my own and in nature, and being dark just after 6pm, it was too early to try and sleep…. Getting back on the bike. Wow, not a blog all year. I still haveContinue reading “Getting back on the bike”

I just did a Clifton Strengths test at work and the results confirmed the belief I have in myself. I guess they would as the results are based on the answers I gave. I don’t mind sharing these with the world, as it’s who I am. I’m yet to do the next step but IContinue reading “Strength”

Fallout. How else do you put it? So, it’s done. I held it together whilst I was being ‘monitored’ for side effects, but when I left I was overwhelmed with emotion. Mixed – relief, regret, hatred, anger, sadness. I sat there with my head in my hands and a nurse asked me if I wasContinue reading “Fallout”

Resistance. Resistance is futile. What you resist persists. The quotes are endless! So. The shortest sentence ever. And that’s what surrender is. So. OK. Now I’ve previously talked about surrender being a positive. It still may be, but from a different angle. There’s been this thing going on that I don’t agree with. I’ve beenContinue reading “Resistance”

Another appropriately timed podcast listen this morning. Today was Simon Sinek – Thinking Differently with Matthew Barzun . A couple of things jumped out for me. The first one was pyramid vs. constellation thinking. There were so many great examples and analogies to compare these two ways of thinking. Pyramid is hierachical, top-down/bottom-up whereas constellationContinue reading “Multi-coloured”

Presence. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the “present”. It’s a well known quote and one I struggle to practice. I’ve read books about it, listened to podcasts about it, watched videos about it, talked about it, written about it, and yet at timesContinue reading “Presence”
