Prior to mid-march 2020 my writing time consisted of my journey to and from work, my lunch break and in the evenings after dinner. I'd do my best to plan ahead and have my posts scheduled for 7.30am each morning. But once lockdown started my day to day life changed significantly. I was no longer … Continue reading How lockdown changed my writing routine?

Looking back
When you experience a mood change from sad to happy it's easy to find yourself looking back. Perhaps you do so because you remember what it was like to feel sad and you remember that you didn't think it would pass.

Post-lockdown in the office
I've recently had a few conversations about going back to work and what that will look like. For some that worked in offices they were able to continue at home whilst for others things grounded to a halt and have remained so for the past couple of months.

So often we cling to the familiarity of what we know. We cling so hard that we're unable to see any other option as viable.

A taste of normality
Right now a lot of people are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the slow return to normalcy. Granted it'll be a long time until things are back to how they were but as they say 'slow progress is better than no progress'. This normality will be positive for some … Continue reading A taste of normality
Choice and change
When you're comfortable with the way things are it can be difficult to make the choice to change. Most people have dreams of the kind of life that they want yet they allow their feelings of comfort to stand in the way. The inner monologue will say something like 'Why move to a new city, … Continue reading Choice and change
Why it’s so hard to change
You spend a large amount of your formative years trying to figure yourself out. You're favourite colour, what you like to eat and the kinds of movies you like to watch. But it goes much deeper than that. Perhaps it's what political party you want to support, your career path, whether you want to get … Continue reading Why it’s so hard to change
