I can’t be the only person around feeling unfulfilled with life? I’ve written about this previously, yet the feeling remains. Hopefully this won’t be seen as another whiny ‘woe is me’ post – as always, I aim to write these posts with honesty and openness, and this is something which has been bothering me for …
Tag: Re-energise
Do you frequently say ‘Isn’t time flying by?’ If you do, you need to stop now! Here’s why and how.
For my own peace of mind, I need to stop focusing on how quickly time is passing (or how it often appears that way). I’ve been doing this more and more over recent years, yet it was only recently that I noticed the negative impact this has on me. It isn’t beneficial for one simple …
Good riddance summer, hello autumn my old friend
I’m conscious this post will divide people but I’m going to plough on regardless… I’ll be glad to see the back of summer, and I’ll welcome autumn and winter with open arms. There. I said it. I naively thought we were in this position 2-3 weeks ago, then the damned Indian summer hit and sent …
If you want to be truly productive, disconnect…
A relatively short post this week as I made a last-minute change of the topic.

Find the time to do the things you love each day
Last week, I wrote about the importance of doing a little every day to build momentum over time. The post referenced several examples of tasks where there will be benefits from spending just 10 minutes per day on them. Linked to this, I stumbled upon this quote a couple of days ago – a favourite …
Why I’ve suddenly realised I need to go for the smaller option when it comes to food
At the age of 49, I’ve experienced a eureka moment when it comes to food. After half a lifetime of bad habits, I’ve finally realised that it makes much more sense to go for the smaller option where food is concerned. I’ve always had an *ahem* ‘healthy’ appetite and almost always go large when presented …
Why I perform better when I’m up against the clock – time on my hands isn’t good for me
This is a classic example of a problem I have that I believe should be easy to resolve though the reality is quite different. It’s an issue which dates to my secondary school days (a period when I completed something like 6 or 7 English essays in the week before my GCSE deadline, rather than …
A health / weight update – I’m not as fit as I thought I was…
Despite needing to lose weight, I’ve always thought I was relatively fit. I walk quite often. I eat a relatively health diet. I get plenty of fresh air. I just need to work on shedding the excess fat that I’m carrying. However, a couple of things lately have demonstrated to me that I’m not as …
I need to stop living life like I’m stuck in a revolving door
Right now, it feels as though I’m living life like I’m stuck in a revolving door. Not at all from a family and personal relationships perspective – everything is absolutely fine in that regard. This relates more to the general routine and humdrum of life. Here’s an example of a typical week for me: Monday …
50 expert tips to feel more positive
I don’t usually like using other people’s content as a full blog though I’ve had this bookmarked for a few months now and feel the need to share it. It’s a really good list, containing 50 tips from GPs, psychologists, musicologists, and many others, on how to feel more positive. You may feel some (or …
