overcoming self-sabotage 45:37

3M ago45:37

45:37

This week, whilst down with a cold/flu, I re-listened to a familiar self help book: The Big Leap. My second time around with it hasn’t panned out the same as when I first listened to it in 2017. So, I thought I’d share my thoughts and commentary on why I think this is the case, and my own unsolicited advice on what I would do now to overcome self-s…

an alternative to the fig tree analogy 9:26

4M ago9:26

9:26

Sylvia Plath’s damn fig tree. I wrote these words in a comic-sans-esque font using a pruned finger on the foggy glass door of the shower. They were barely readable now, the hot mist clearing out the letters nearly as fast as I’d dazedly written them. I’d been ruminating, as one does within the three cubic metres of a shower, being pelted on with a …

all i wanna be is offline in an online world 5:52

5M ago5:52

5:52

Offline. The word just seems so fresh, audibly and conceptually. It’s the land of the untouched, the undocumented, the salient and the vestigial. It’s where we can say controversial things that you never would online because our close friends know it’s with nuance and in one specific context and actually fine. 9 reasons to be offline. This is a rea…

it's 2025 and morning routines are still hot 6:37

6M ago6:37

6:37

2024 was my year of no morning routines. It was a year of loving semi-hectic, haphazard, do-what-you-will, come-what-may type of mornings. I thrived in the chaos of an unmeditated morning. I’d slap on my slippers, splash water on my face, slather on some face oils, let my dog out, grab my journal and water bottle and head on upstairs. Details of my…
