Recently I received some excellent coaching that resulted in a shift in my thinking, and helped me make progress on an area I had been struggling with but wasn’t sure why. It’s caused me to rethink things in a number of different areas and I thought I’d share it in case it might be valuable […]
We’ve come to the end of February, a month commonly associated with love. I’ve been working through Fearne Cotton’s Happy Journal which took love as its focus for the month and has encouraged me to reflect on love in all sorts of different ways. I also completed a challenge for Mind (the mental health charity) […]
I’ve really been enjoying reading more recently and The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha* is one I’ve particularly enjoyed. It’s an unusual one as it wasn’t on my wishlist, I was simply browsing the psychology section in my local public library (even though I definitely don’t need to add more books to my ‘to read’ […]

There are so many books that I’d like to read and I haven’t been prioritising reading as much as I’d like to recently. In order to address that, I’ve switched some of my social media and TV time for reading and am really enjoying it so far. I also like to share what I’ve learnt […]
As we come to the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting back on my favourite things from 2017. I record my favourite moments in my bullet journal every month, but I thought it might be interesting to share some of my favourites from the year. Watching This year I’ve absolutely loved two TV shows […]
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know that instead of setting specific goals for 2017, I instead chose a word to set my intention for the year. The word I chose was balance. I wasn’t sure how this concept would work for me and I’m pleased to say it’s been an […]
