In this week's IMM I talk about how your worst experience is your worst experience, what consequences we face when we do nothing, and how we differ from deers.
In this week's IMM I talk about why you should have the end goal in mind, why starting is better than waiting until you find perfection, and how the people you surround yourself with affects your life.
In this week's IMM I talk about how slowing down can help us to feel, why you should be embarrassed of who you were a year ago, and what mountaineering can teach us about life.
In this week's IMM I talk about things that make us human, how it is easier to achieve material desires than ignore them, and how you don't need to try and be anyone else.
In this week's In My Mind (IMM) I explore how you can turn envy from a sin to a learning opportunity, why you should celebrate the process because let's face it no one else will for you, and how we feel about the way we feel.
Unteachable lessons are things you have to experience to believe, you can't be told based on someone else's experience.
I have never been a massive fan of running. But this year something changed. With less than 90 minutes before the start time I registered with Park Run, grabbed my trainers and headed out. It's fair to say that experience was humbling.
Whether you create content or not, you have an impact on people's lives. Your actions affect other people on a daily basis without you even realising. Stop losing sight of the impact you have just because you don't have hundreds of thousands of people watching everything you do
I've recently become more aware of how urgently and easily everyone wants things.
Being nice is avoiding hurting someone's feelings in the moment, keeping things as pleasant as possible. Being kind is being honest in the moment, even if someone's feelings are at stake, so long as the long term benefit is greater than the pain felt in the moment.
It is now possible to know more about, and spend more time with, people on the other side of the world, who don't even know we exist than someone we live next door to. This is the essence of Parasocial relationships. This is a relatively new term used
Since starting at the gym I've become much stronger than I was before I started. Sure, I can lift more weight than I did but I can also see more strength in my life outside of the gym.
Mindset
For long periods of my life I believed that making big efforts was the answer to creating the best future. But, this isn't how life works (for most people).
Life
Over the course of my life, I had an arbitrary timeline for things I wanted to complete. So, here's my list of 15 things I have achieved in my 26 years on this planet we call home.
Neurodivergence
This week, I went to my first Neurodivergent community event. It was hosted by Unmasked, Ellie Middleton's company, and I felt so heard and understood!
Jamboree
So, it has been over 6 months since I went on this trip. There's many reasons this post has taken that long to put together.
This year a new gym opened near my home and with it came an opportunity to better myself. I've always been an active person. When I was a child I loved PE and I played for the local football team. I use to play most sports offered for
This is the first time I've sat and wrote on my blog for quite some time; life's been busy. But during a long car journey I listened to Episode 93 of Not Overthinking where Ali and Taimur Abdaal discuss the ideal of building an online audience
Health
Over a year ago, I started counselling. In this post I describe the process and how it changed who I am as a person.
Blog
When England lost in the final of Euro 2020 I felt gutted for the players. But soon that feeling was swallowed by disappointment. Not in the players, in the country.
Blogging
It has been a long time since I've posted a blog. Even writing this feels a bit strange, but I want to change that.
Online Presence
I've been thinking about starting a blog for some time now but never actually committed to it. I had a few people influencing me into committing to the project and these influences are detailed within this post.
Growth
With a quick google search, you can find thousands of articles and websites with explanations on how to "achieve your full potential" but none of them every explain where your potential comes from and the fact that it changes every day.
Public Journal
Today I have been thinking about... running. During the first lockdown of 2020 I started running but soon fell out of the habit. This time I'm doing it slightly differently, I'm running with friends.
