Years ago when I started life coaching I also started seeing a therapist at roughly the same time. One day I remember very excitedly coming to tell him that I had started doing “positive” affirmations every day to change all my “negative thinking” he very gently said ” it’s not always as easy as that …

Day 38: Be Brave Challenge – Living with our ‘Pain Bodies’
So I have developed three cardinal rules that I try my best to stick with when I feel triggered and angry about something: 1. Don’t respond right away 2. Don’t respond via text or email (No matter how hard you try, you’re not going to be able to interpret a person’s tone nor will you be …
Day 37: Be Brave Challenge – The ‘Just Sick’ rant!
I had brief thought on Monday as I am rushing around cleaning house and doing (much dreaded) laundry that I was pretty sick the day before and I really should have been resting. 😒 But as is often the case I go through spells of feeling superhuman (yes like Superwoman💥) And I ignore my body completely. Thought …
Day 34: Be Brave Challenge – Waterworks!
So yesterday I woke up early on Saturday to tidy the house before Zukie arrived to clean. My flatmate has been away this week which means I have kind of let things slip a bit. I have realized that I function better when I feel accountable for another person. (That’s my excuse!) So I’m feeling …
Day 22: Be Brave Challenge – Weezer Rant!
Ok, truth be told: I feel like the inspiration has dried up a bit. Not that I don’t have things I still want to write about but frankly writing every day is beginning to feel a little like a full-time second job (that I’m not getting paid for😣).Constance made the mistake of suggesting that I …

(http://enneagramdiscovery.com/passions/) To be honest I am not too sure how to explain the passions as I have not studied the Enneagram that closely. But I think the just, of it, is that each number essentially has their own passion that they …

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. – Maya Angelou Eish … so l turned 39 this year. Whoohoooo!! Nine whole months away from the big four-0. I have to admit, never in my wildest of dreams did I ever imagine I would still be a Singleton …
Make a Choice
“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them” ― Denis Waitley Two years ago I attended a weekend spiritual retreat with an absolutely incredible woman called Natalia Baker. (Most definitely an experience.) Right at the end of the weekend after I had been …
Vietnam- North vs South
Hey allI’m so sorry its taken me so long to get back in touch but life in Vietnam has been pretty hectic. I don’t think I have ever been to a country that has stirred up so many conflicting emotions in me. I started this blog post over 3 weeks ago when I arrived in Hanoi …
Do this one in sections……
Khajuharo Ok, so I now find myself in the awkward position of having all the time in the world to write and a mood like thunder with no inclination whatsoever to say anything remotely positive. (My glass is not half empty, its completely drained and I smashed it too.) If someone would be kind enough …
