Today (Monday 18 January) is blue Monday. It is the third Monday of the year, and is known by some (or many) to be the most depressing day of the year.

How to Forgive Yourself
An interesting article I wanted to share on self forgiveness. Worth a read 🙂 “It’s hard to forgive yourself for past mistakes. But it’s necessary. This is how to move on.”
How to help your child embrace boredom
If we are always busy, our mind is always occupied, do we really have any time to expand and evolve. Modern day society often portrays boredom as a negative. But times of boredom could be embraced, it can teach us to look for new things to do and try. Being bored may actually mean you…
Blog: Life does not make narrative sense
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…

Blog: A time to reflect
Happy New Year! I hope 2021 brings good health and happiness to you all. Over the Christmas break, I was watching the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special from 2019 with my wife. 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…
