Seriously? That’s half of the year gone already?! I bet a few of us have said that. Time does seem to be flying past. It’s gotten me thinking about the year I’ve had so far and how it’s shaping up compared to some goals I set myself in January. As I start to write this, it feels like the year has passed me by. Lets see: Goals! I’ve been using a bullet journal for over a year now and I…
I’ve had a pretty intense few weeks work wise and as a result I’m expecting my mental health to take a bit of a battering. Once I’ve got this week out of the way things should calm down but history has taught me it’s the period after the storm that seems to be when I’m at my most vulnerable and susceptible to an attack. I wrote about my experiences with anxiety in a post last year which explains my own…
It feels like it’s been a very slow and frustrating start to the year. I’ve always been someone whose mood can be easily affected by the weather. So the January blues are always a given for me. It’s why I’m pretty famous in my friends and family circle as the guy who invented the “January present for themselves”.

It had always been my intention to take up the challenge of presenting to you, dear reader, some “interesting” facts about myself but life has been getting in the way of my writing recently. I mostly blame the National Lottery for this and their inability to pick out my numbers. Fast forward to today…
I had a panic attack last night. Just a small one. But enough to send me down the same spiral I have now become quite accustomed too. As usual, it came on without warning, but without any real surprise as I’d had a stressful couple of days. I was in a shop with my Wife and Daughter to help her spend her recently received birthday money. Then at the till, a sudden dizziness and faint feeling came over me. The…
My lifestyle and general attitude to all things fit and healthy has changed dramatically over the last few years. One of the major factors in this has been becoming a Dad at the relatively old age of 37. This made me take a long hard look at myself and how I lived my life.
