Reality vs Theory. I experienced something yesterday that raised a point within myself. It’s easy to think that I am accepting of the way society is, until I’m faced with a situation that makes me practice that theory. I was attending an event at RMIT Uni and needed the toilet, a fairly normal process inContinue reading “Reality vs Theory”

Routine. It’s something I need to work on. The word routine to me means repetitive and boring. I guess a certain amount of life needs routine, stuff around commitments, responsibilities and positive actions of self care. The other side of routine which is based around comfort zones and fear is the unhealthy side. I’m realisingContinue reading “Routine”

Faith and Trust. It’s easy in thoery, until I actually have to practice it. It’s hard to think that I’m not in control of my own life. Well, I am, the inner self stuff, how I think and behave. I can’t control circumstances outside of myself. Do I trust the Universe/God? I try but it’sContinue reading “Faith and Trust”

Self doubt. It’s a big thing! I always go back to the simple question, why? Again, it’s not a simple answer. It’s fear based, will I fail, or will it not go to plan? If there’s faith and trust there is no room for self doubt. Like most things in life, this is a workContinue reading “Self doubt”

Bit of a quick reflection on the film ‘The Australian dream’. Such a confronting and powerful film. I was interested in the behaviour side of it. What I call the ‘sheep mentality’. Just because everyone else does something doesn’t make it OK. Why is it so hard to say ‘it’s not OK’? Brave and courageousContinue reading “The ‘system’”

Choice. It’s hard to believe how many choices we make each day. I resorted to googling some stats and apparently we make around 35000 remotely concious decisions each day. That’s staggering!! Choices means responsibility, it’s all about how I will deal with a situation. Will I act or react? Will I fight fire with fire?Continue reading “Choice”

Fight, flight or accept? It’s appropriate that today is world mental health day. The ‘system’ is testing me alot lately and pushing me to make decisions. It’s tricky to be completely honest here and go into too much detail about the challenges I’m facing. I can talk about how I’m feeling and reacting I guess.Continue reading “Fight, flight or accept?”

The need for approval. So where does it come from? Why is it so powerful? It comes from childhood and the need to conform and fit in. That’s my view. It’s really gotten out of hand since social media took off and the whole psychology behind the likes, kudos, ‘friends’ and followers. Every single socialContinue reading “The need for approval”

Surrender. The first thing I used to think was that this was negative, giving up. When someone surrenders it normally means they’ve lost, admitted defeat. I’ve since learnt from experience that it’s the complete opposite. For me it’s acceptance and not resisting. It comes back to genuinely accepting that ‘it is what it is’. VeryContinue reading “Surrender”

The stone in the shoe. It’s an analogy that I love so I’m sharing it, it may well be on the internet already but I haven’t checked and this is my take on it.  I run. Running is a journey, it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sometimes when I’m running I getContinue reading “The stone in the shoe”
