What Do You Want from Life?
Photo by Sasha Freemind on Unsplash On a number of occasions my husband has asked me what I want out of life. We sometimes have these kinds of conversations when the kids have gone to bed or we’re out on a date night. My answer is always the same: I want peace. But what does that actually mean? Peace can mean so many things to different people. No arguments, a calm relationship, a calm environment, world peace, inner peace, good health. For me, peace means freedom from torment and trauma, good mental health, a calm environment, and a loving circle of friends and family. Years ago, if you’d asked me the same question…

The Key to Staying Motivated and Finding Success
“Get a move on!” my husband raged at the car in front. “You’re already halfway out so you may as well go the whole way!” He was complaining about a car to his left which had half pulled out into the road we were on, but then decided not to go any further.

To join that exclusive party of awesomeness where people are living their dreams while living it up. But as soon as things get…

It’s been in my backlog for years, mainly because I couldn’t stand that you can go wherever you want in any order, and there’s no real structure on how you do things. Just as there are so many ways…

I Changed My Mindset and Started Living – So Can You!
This week, I finally completed a videogame I’ve had for years called Alien Isolation. For years I would make a certain amount of progress, only to get stuck, scared out of my wits, and quit. It’s only in the past few months I plucked up the courage to restart it after a friend said, “don’t let your fears rule you”. I realise how cheesy that sounds, but that’s exactly what I was doing. I was acting the same way I used to in real life. In the end, I pushed through that fear, and my failures when the alien killed me again and again. And in doing so, I finally…
