I hate feeling lethargic. For me, it’s the feeling that I should be doing something, but don’t really feel like doing anything. Except sitting in front of the computer rambling inanely. W...
I don’t particularly like the term ‘jobseeker’, but for simplicity’s sake I’ll use it. Anyway, so I have been out of work for a year or so. Currently I am awaiting the o...
You know, even though I would likely not have chosen to be out of work for a while, in some ways it has probably been a blessing in disguise. I think you have to honour whatever stage of life you are...
I have friends that do blogs about their own life, and they are damn good at it. My friend Stewart has an excellent blog where he manages to make his life sound interesting. That’s no mean feat...
Generally, as a nation the UK pays far more attention to physical health than mental health. Mental health is something that is too often overlooked or thought of in terms of people who are a bit f*c...
So there’s been a story about an England cricketer returning home from depression – it was discussed a bit on TalkSPORT, on the show where former cricketer Darren Gough is one of the pres...
I have been thinking a bit along these lines recently. To an extent, I really don’t know how a lot of ‘life’ works. I have read so many books and so many theories that it’s ha...
Well no, of course it’s not ALL down to luck .. but are some people ‘luckier’ than others? It’s an interesting question and one that can probably not be fully answered. What b...
There are some people who spend years in therapy, seemingly unable to recover from traumas and hurts. I have to wonder about whether certain forms of therapy are useful. Of course, different things w...
This was, to me, a bizarre occurrence. It was Friday afternoon and I’d just finished at the Jobshop and thought that I could do with getting away from the city to a quieter part of town. So I g...
An important decision of mine was to relocate after I recovered from the breakdown in 2006. I’d had a desire deep down to move somewhere else for a while before that, but circumstances meant th...
The ‘vs’ bit may make it seem like I’m putting these two subjects up against the other. In some ways, I am. I did think about putting the title as ‘Spirituality and religion&#...
I have some fairly strong views on this subject. Some of them can be debated. One thing I can say though, with conviction: Having been out of work for a year now, I realise how insane the whole job m...
Okay, so I COULD change my mind. That has happened to some people. And obviously I’m not in a long term relationship and maybe some people do change their mind about not wanting kids once they ...
I think everyone should be allowed to be themselves and respected for it. Before you ask an obvious question, no I don’t think that terrorists or paedophiles or thieves should be respected. Suc...
It’s been a good while since I’ve posted on this page, and I apologise for my neglect. So anyway, it’s March 2011 and things have been a bit better this year. I am doing a bit of v...
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year which has been more powerful than ANYTHING else, it is ‘living in the present’. The human mind and the majority of people are so foc...
Okay .. a mere three months after I did my last blog post .. please forgive me, dear blog. I have deserted you. Back to serious mode Well I’ve tried to fight against the circumstances and diffi...
It is very common for people to think that, if they achieve this or that, if things get better, if they get more money or a relationship, then they will be happier. Heaven knows, I’ve fallen in...
Oh .. my .. God .. what a year this has been!! I don’t necessarily mean that in a positive way. There have been some good things to come out of this year, and I have probably grown more as a pe...
One of the things the western world is most in need of is to be thankful for what they have. Because, let’s face it. Despite the fact that there IS a recession, most of us still have a roof over our ...
Wow .. well it’s been a good year so far! I am taking part in the ‘100 Day Reality Challenge’ – visit www.cocreatingourreality.com – and things are changing. My job has ...
Oh my goodness, I am so not sure exactly where I am going with this blog! But that’s okay. As long as I do posts that are relevant to me and sensible, then all will be okay Anyways, so I’...
As someone who has quite often felt a bit different from the general population, or whatever term you like to use – common people maybe? Erm maybe not. Anyway I digress. It’s easy to feel...
After a promising start to this blog, things went a bit quiet. That’s partly because of the state of my brain (think words such as ’shit’ and ‘knackered’ and you’l...
Okay, I’ve told you a bit about my life story. Now I’m 34 and fast approaching 35, time goes quicker but in some ways it almost stands still in that I don’t look at an increase in a...
This is one of the most important issues facing society today. It seems that what we think of others and what we think of ourselves are two entirely different matters. We have friends which we like a...
Change is something we all encounter at some point in our lives, whether we like it or not, and can take many forms. However, circumstances can change but if we don’t change as people, then our...
A lot of people sometime ponder the question ‘What is the meaning of life?’ – and I think that each of us is here for a reason, although whether we make use of this amazing gift cal...
Well howdy. After saying recently that I had got bored with blogging .. I have stumbled upon some rather inspiring blogs recently which made me feel somewhat .. inspired. So I thought I would re-ente...
