New adventures ahead

Well, I will start by saying, that I am now officially unemployed. That’s the bad news, but the good news is that new adventures are now literally just around the corner. Recap on the last few days first.  Has been a really quiet week, nothing happening and this continued. Few people away sick, or travelling [...]

It will get better

It doesn’t feel all that nice at the moment, but I know it will get better. Letting go, moving on, self doubt, self esteem. Hanging in there ready to move forward. Remembering that thoughts are just a story..they are not facts. Readings today on mindfullness – I think today is a go back to basics [...]

Self doubt

Don’t you just hate self doubt, especially when it comes on the back of some positive steps forward.  The more exploring the higher the information overload and the more likely self doubt will creep back in there, I understand that.
I’m trying the techniques in the Happiness Trap but I also have chocolate. Today was quite [...]

I also achieved my [...]

A busy day with bits and pieces and hand-over and then a catch-up in the evening at Oxford St with my previous housemates/room neighbours.  Went to a Tapas bar and [...]

The Happiness trap

This is my current reading. The Happiness trap, recommended by Dr Furber for self improvement and utilising ACT techniques and it is so far, a great book. Very informative, practical and fun at the same time.  I read the first 4 chapters on the exercise bike at the gym this morning, so felt very enthused [...]

Old posts

Just been skimming through some old posts from this blog, preparatio to leave, when I first got to London, chilling in Crowthorne for a few months on arrival, and the first photography trips that I booked.  What a journey starts to unfold when you look back over 12 months. I wonder what I will do differently [...]

Change

This title will come up a bit over the coming months and I will use it to indicate some turning points as best I can. 
Slightly freaking out about change today. It does not fit comfortably into my life at all, but as someone wisely advised me, the uncomfortable feeling is a sign that you are [...]
