Wow, another couple of months has come and gone. I’ve thought a fair bit about writing but, as is the norm, the longer it goes on, the harder it is. So, here I am…. Breathing. Something that is unconcious and super easy. In theory. It’s been a topic that’s been on my mind for quiteContinue reading “Breathe!”

I wrote this on day 3 of my trip (20th December 2020) Flexibility and Adaptablity. It’s the key lesson from 2020. Have a plan, of course, but accept that it may not happen. It’s been about accepting the external influences and looking at what is still possible, rather than what’s not. I was supposed toContinue reading “Flexibility and Adaptablity”

Wow, it’s been that long since my last post! I’ve been travelling since 18th December and have written some offline posts that I’ll upload soon but today is about reflection. Reflection is probably the single most important thing that we (I) can do. We generally learn from looking back, what could I have done differently?Continue reading “Reflection”

Big Fish/little fish. No, not the dance moves….. You’ll all be familiar with the sayings ‘small fish in a big pond’ or ‘big fish in a small pond’. Well, what about ‘small fish in a small pond’ and ‘big fish in a big pond’? I’m currently in a sunflower growing competition at work. I don’tContinue reading “Big Fish/little fish.”

Humbleness. Life is all about achievement isn’t it? Well, maybe, but it depends on how it’s publicised. Achievement is great but I think about the people that have impacted me the most. It’s those that have achieved but not felt the need to publicise or boast. Society rewards the boasters but it turns into anContinue reading “Humbleness”

Entitlement. What do I think I deserve? What’s my expectation? These all lead to disappointment as what I think I deserve isn’t always what I get. I had a similar time when I moved to Australia, I had no plan and learnt to be ok with that, there was massive disappointment and I worked outContinue reading “Entitlement”

Be the Tree. Nature’s very good at this and us humans could learn alot from observing. It seems like it’s been windy forever so here’s another ‘wind’ post. There are similarities to my last post and it’s around not resisting, adapting and being flexible. On a recent drive I was blown away (pun intended) byContinue reading “Be the Tree”

No one likes a headwind, here’s my story…. I’ve recently gotten into kayaking and I’m loving the freedom and different views of my environment. I also cycle and tend to avoid days where there is a wind, cycling against a headwind isn’t pleasant. But there’s worse, paddling against a headwind! So, I decided to takeContinue reading “Headwind”

Possibilities. I’m talking about our mental capacity, stats talk about us using only 10-15% of our brain. Now, I’d say that we are actually using a lot more than this unconsciously, it can’t just be spare capacity, every part of us was built for a purpose. I watched an interesting film called ‘Lucy’ that wasContinue reading “Possibilities”

Resettlement. It was a term I was used to when I worked with the military. They were so used to being told what to do and when to do it that they had to go on resettlement courses to prepare them for civvy life. It feels as though we, as a society, need something similar.Continue reading “Resettlement”
