Why exercise was the key that unlocked my inner awesomeness
This morning I headed out at 5.30am in -4 degree temperature (yes, that is MINUS 4), to go for a jog. I did feel a little bit crazy, actually, a lot crazy. My logical brain kept saying “why are you doing this?”, “go back to bed”, “you can surely find time to do this later”… …

Top tips for a smooth morning…or not…
You’ll all be pleased to know that my morning routine is now back in action. If you recall, daylight savings reeked havoc with my usual peaceful morning routine and it was driving me mad…literally (you can read about it here) But thankfully, things have fallen back into place. So I thought you might be wondering…

3 simple steps to beat the afternoon slump
It is about 4pm in the afternoon and I feel like I need toothpicks to hold my eyelids open. Exhausted doesn’t quite seem to cover it. This is the time of day my body seems to go into under drive. My brain starts losing concentration, I don’t have much patience and my eyes literally hurt…

Nothing to prove, nothing to hide

Life can be confusing…shake it off
This week (wait, this month) has been hard work. I feel like I say that a lot though. Sigh. Work is intense, exciting but intense…requiring so much of my energy and focus. I am aware that the balance right now is shifting in works favour, but it is only for a short time…isn’t it? Someone…

I don’t know how she does it?
I actually hate that saying “I don’t know how she does it?”. It has become so cliche, it makes me want to roll my eyes and punch the smug person, who is apparently doing it all with ease, in the head. But here I am…constantly thinking it…how do other people do this? when I feel…
