Thriving your way
You may be sick of hearing that we’re living in unprecedented times, but also starting to think about keeping a record as you realise how different your life is becoming. There are lots of reasons to keep a journal, particularly now, whether it is to help with your mental health or to keep a record for your children. And no it is not too late to start. It is only too late if you don’t Continue Reading …
We’re four weeks into lockdown in the UK, with at least another three weeks to come of the current restrictions. And we don’t know what reduced restrictions will mean. Will the schools reopen, will businesses like shops reopen? I don’t know the answers, and I don’t think anyone does. It all depends on the numbers or until there is a vaccination. So I’m not thinking about when this will end. I’m concentrating on the good Continue Reading …
Coronoa virus, Covid-19, social distancing, shielding, lockdown. You probably hadn’t heard of these words a few months ago, and now they’re impacting our lives in so many ways. And are likely to change our future in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few weeks ago. I started working at home on Tuesday 17th March and my husband two days later. The last day of school was on 20th, and so the next day our stay Continue Reading …
I love our house and I find it hard to believe we’ve been here just 7 years. I still revel in the extra space we have inside and out compared to our previous house. And we continue making progress, even if most people don’t see it. I get the impression that people will only think we’ve made progress when we remove the lift. And I agree that will be a big day, but we’re making Continue Reading …
Just over a year ago I decided I wanted to get healthier, so last year was my year of health. Instead of new year resolutions I set a theme to get healthier and each week I added one small habit. Unfortunately, last year was not a healthy year. It started with a sickness illness and ended with a persistent cold that I had for over two months. So it should be easy for you to Continue Reading …
Have you been writing your journal for several years? Are you feeling bored with your journal writing? Do you think you could get more from journaling? I feel this way. I’ve written in my journal for close to 30 years. For many years it was off-and-on, but has become a daily habit over the last few years. But, I’m wondering if I’ve fallen into a rut. I always journal just before I go to sleep Continue Reading …
The Oxford Half Marathon Schools Challenge enables primary school children to run a mile from the official start line, and get a medal and goody bag when they finish. It is a great way to inspire children to run.
I’m introducing 50 small healthy habits during the year which will add up to a big improvement in my health. This is how the first six months have gone.
I’m stuck in a rut of not doing anything towards achieving what I want. This is not how I want to feel or live my life, so how do I change? How do I take back control?
I recommend the book Do It Scared; unless of course you never feel scared. However I suspect everyone who reads this will feels fear sometime. It has given me the words to talk about my fear. So I now recognise when I feel scared which makes it easier to deal with it. I would love you to discover your fear doesn’t need to stop you because you can “do it scared”.
