Welcome to my blog to share my experiences and things I am learning during my journey to better wellbeing
All in Fun
We are all capable of pretty amazing things when we work together as a team. I just took part in a fitness competition with a team of badass women. The training was difficult and we all questioned whether we could do it (and why this is our idea of fun!) BUT on the day, we cheered each other on and pushed ourselves and achieved something that we couldn’t have done on our own.
With my bungee jump experience fresh in my mind, in this blog I consider why some people are thrill-seekers who are always looking for the next adrenaline rush. There is a scientific reason why we get a kick out of putting ourselves at risk - to release our feel-good chemicals.
Having a bucket list can be a great way to prioritise life goals, give us a sense of achievement when we can tick off an item on the list and can also provide a welcome distraction from negative experiences or feelings. In this blog, I share some of my bucket list items - some I have already completed and some still to be achieved.
Drag is one of the things that always makes me feel happy - whether it is on TV or in a live show, the combination of costumes, make-up, performance, smut, camaraderie and ridiculousness is the perfect tonic. In this blog I share the main reasons why drag is fab and makes me feel good.
Pre-Teddy we had considered getting a dog but the timing never seemed right but it’s hard to think of life without her now. She has such a big personality although still quite small - the main photo is her at 8 weeks and 1 year. Don’t they say dogs are like their owners? Well she is fun, loving, has bundles of energy and is sometimes naughty so obviously that is true ;0). I have written a poem to make me think about the last 12 months with Teddy.
Being childish every now and again (or a lot if you are like me) is good for us. Escape from the realities of being a grown-up to unleash our inner child and just have fun. In this blog I share a few ways I have enjoyed being a child lately. Instead of work/life balance, find some adult/child balance!
