A relatively succinct and quick-read today, following last week’s epic essay on music! There is a quote which never fails to make me smile: ‘A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else’s?’ Clearly a witty extension of the old favourite ‘A problem shared is …

Coping mechanisms – the power of music
The first specific coping mechanism I’d like to discuss is music. Regular readers will know that family and friends are more important to me than anything else in life but they are closely followed by music.

Fighting anxiety and low self-esteem – the importance of trying to maintain a positive outlook

An introduction to Yes, You Can Do It
Hi. Thanks for taking a look at my first Yes, You Can Do It blog post. What to include within this initial post has bothered me for a while and, after many revisions, this will summarise my overarching objectives for the blog. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, I want this to be a positive blog. …
