I am pretty open about some aspects of my wellbeing, although I don’t openly share everything (most people do not either). Its no secret things have been difficult for me as of late, those who are closer to me know a little more about the why. We are all imperfect and unique beings. Life does…

For the guys
Wellbeing, mental health and talking about feelings – for men there is a significant stigma around these topics. By some a man is not viewed as “manly” or masculine enough if they talk or display anything on these topics. I do not believe in manly man stereotype. And believe it or not, not all men…
Blog: Reality Bites
It’s a very tough time of year for me. 13 January represents three years since my Dad died. There’s nothing I can say or do to change that. It’s not a day to celebrate or mark, but it does represent a day where my life changed forever. Friday 8 January was supposed to be my…
Blog: 8760
8760. I want you to think about that number, 8760. The clock keeps ticking, we get older. Time flies? Not always when we are having fun, but it sure does keep ticking. What is a year… it sounds like a lot, but in reality, a year can pass really quickly. One year 12 months 365…

Blog: A time to reflect

It triggered a conversation as to how different “our world” was just 12 months ago when we had watched it previously. My initial…
Resolutions
Resolutions, love them or hate, many of us artifically try to change our life on the 1 January each year. They are rarely more than a statement of intent, there is no real planning or depth behind the idea. As we move through January, resolutions often fade from our memory or become a tool to…
End of the year
Hello Everyone I just wanted to take a moment out to thank you all for your support in 2020. We launched on 30 October and the pace of this site has been very fast since this date. I appreciate 2020 has been such a difficult year for so many of us. The ways in which…
Are You Mindful or Mindless?
I read an excellent article over at http://www.medium.com exploring powerful scientific evidence from an addict turned brain scientist. It is a really engaging read with some science in there too. Check out the full article here “Understanding the science underlying mindfulness and meditation can be a powerful motivation for anyone building these habits. But it’s…
