Healthy Changes 🪟

I've made a few really healthy changes this week and I'm well chuffed about it. We re-arranged my desk on Monday so that I can see out of the window more easily. When I'm sat at my desk working, no-matter how confident and motivated I feel, I'm filled with adrenaline. I imagine this feeling is heightened for me, because I'm a nervous Nellie, but this is probably the case for most of us...

It's been some time since my last post, it's nearly party season and I'm still nowhere near full of beans. I am up early today and packed for a few days away in the BEAUTIFUL Scottish Highlands with family. We're staying in Kinlochleven - a village that's full of special memories for us a family.… Continue reading Saying Goodbye: Family time in the Scottish Highlands

Travelling With Butterflies: Navigating Anxiety Whilst Abroad

Back on home turf and reflecting on an incredible weekend away in Italy spent sticking a middle finger up at all of the anxious thoughts that told me I couldn't enjoy it. Travelling feels daunting to most of us regardless of our mental wellness. I think it's natural. As someone who struggles with anxiety a… Continue reading Travelling With Butterflies: Navigating Anxiety Whilst Abroad

This one's for my Mum and her sisters, my aunties. I love you all so much. The theme of 2019 has definitely been ups and downs. I've had months full of happy memories and others that have been a huge struggle. Whether it's been my mental health getting me down or things going on at… Continue reading Week Forty-One: Finding gratitude in the face of sadness

Week Thirty-Six: Settling Into Our New Home

The house move has gone surprisingly smoothly for me. Especially considering my inability to accept change, close attachment to places and things and general emotional-ness. I was super emotional when we eventually said goodbye to the flat, but in my defence, it had been one of those weeks anyway and I was due a good… Continue reading Week Thirty-Six: Settling Into Our New Home

Week Four: Celebrating Small Wins

Week four of 2019 began, for all of us, with Blue Monday. On Blue Monday, I felt surprisingly yellow. I spent the tube journey smiling to myself like a fool. I was determined not to let the whole 'Blue Monday' label convince me that it was going to be a difficult day. After all, I did… Continue reading Week Four: Celebrating Small Wins

Week One: Fireworks at Embankment and a New Year Declutter

This week began with New Year's Eve. I was lucky enough to be working from home; allowing me enough time to get ready and get on a train, with Dave, into London before the rush hour. I've only ever been into London once on New Year's Eve before and even then, steered clear of central… Continue reading Week One: Fireworks at Embankment and a New Year Declutter
