“Mental Health for All”
It’s #worldmentalhealthday, and the above is the theme set for this year by the World Federation for Mental Health. So I’m sitting with my morning coffee contemplating what action I can take to help achieve this. I am now reliably in the habit of taking action for my own mental health – a quiet, slow… Continue reading “Mental Health for All”
Quiet
Quiet…is a thing I’m trying to get better at lately. I’m really trying to find some time each day to be completely “still” (mentally, at least) – maybe relaxing by reading or cross-stitching, maybe going for a slow walk outside with no music or podcast in my ears, or maybe just lying on my yoga… Continue reading Quiet
Monday Motivation: “To-Do Lists”
It’s Monday! And I’ve recently re-discovered a bit of motivation after it temporarily escaped me for most of May and June, so I thought today was a good time to start a little Monday Motivation series. Partly because it’s absolutely pouring with rain today and the bad sort of “Monday feeling” is threatening to take… Continue reading Monday Motivation: “To-Do Lists”
Why I Run
Happy Saturday all! It really is a happy one in my house, because the sun is (finally) shining and I’m writing this while eating porridge in preparation for a little solo run in an hour or two. I’m feeling particularly good today, because I’m actually excited about running. When daily exercise was the only time… Continue reading Why I Run
Where have I been?
Hello! I nearly didn’t write a blog post this morning, and I’m writing this sentence still unsure of whether I’m actually going to hit the “Publish” button when I get to the end. I wanted the next thing I wrote to be really happy and positive and, honestly, I haven’t felt very happy or positive… Continue reading Where have I been?
Cake Cake Cake
Happy Sunday all! My last few blog posts have been a bit on the heavier side, so I thought today I’d switch things up a bit and talk about cake. Anyone who knows me well will know how much I love to bake. Aside from the obvious benefit of maintaining a good supply of snacks… Continue reading Cake Cake Cake
Hello, Outside World!
It’s been a while – well, 3 weeks. Which I guess is a while for a blog that was supposed to be updated weekly. I don’t know about you, but I’ve become a bit too comfortable in my little #stayhome bubble these past few weeks. To be honest, I really quite like my own company.… Continue reading Hello, Outside World!
Reflecting on Mental Health Awareness Week
“Finding time to be kind” This week was Mental Health Awareness Week, with this year’s chosen theme being “kindness”, and it’s taken me all the way until Sunday to write anything on here about it. Which is odd, considering I usually have a fair bit to say about mental health. I suppose with the news… Continue reading Reflecting on Mental Health Awareness Week
Happy Saturday, everyone!
I say happy, because today I’m sharing with you some of the “good things” that I have observed over the past few weeks. I recently wrote about daily positives on Instagram and had a whole bunch of lovely messages from people about it, so I thought it would be good to write some more on… Continue reading Happy Saturday, everyone!
Let’s talk about…Anxiety & Uncertainty
I had planned to keep my first “proper” post fairly lighthearted so as not to scare you all away from the outset. But I guess the whole point of a personal blog is to write about the stuff that’s going on for me right now, so instead of some running chat or my top 10… Continue reading Let’s talk about…Anxiety & Uncertainty
