Spontaneity

In this over scheduled modern world, the whole concept of spontaneity feels almost an untouchable dream. Imagine being able to suddenly and somewhat randomly just change plans. It often feels like every day, every hour, every minute is accounted for, or so I thought…… I am a planner. I like to feel organised and prepared […]

Adult time

Last night my husband I went out!!! That’s right, we left the house in the evening on a week night. Not only that, we met other adults who were equally excited at the prospect of being out, enjoyed intelligent conversation (well most of it anyway!) and ate great food. It was a friend’s birthday and […]

Backing yourself

I just realised it has been 10 days since I last posted! That is possibly the longest hiatus since I started this blog. I even missed my blog’s birthday!! (which was the 3rd of May for anyone who is interested!). Happy birthday Stressaholics!! So, why? What have I been doing to miss writing for so […]

I’m on the right track

As you all know, I have been spending a great deal of time over the last year trying to reduce my stress levels. It has made me question just about everything I do. I have analysed (perhaps over analysed) it all; from the time I spend cooking to work, hobbies and exercise. Along the way […]

Learning to relax….

Aspiring to be my cat

Yesterday I was talking about how I set super human targets for myself. Expecting all sorts of crazy things that most would not or could not achieve. The solution to my problems has been right in front of me all along………….. Instead of trying to be super woman, I should have been aspiring to be […]

Only human

Sometimes I treat myself as if I am super woman. I lay down these expectations that are unrealistic and often unattainable. It is not until someone points this out, that I realise I am killing myself trying to be super human. The interesting thing is the way in which I do this to myself. I […]

Why so serious?

Something that got stuck in my head today was the question; why am I always so dam serious? I feel like I have almost forgotten how to have fun. Trapped in this endless cycle of over scheduled life, I barely have time to get all the jobs and chores done much less have fun. How […]

I thought my week was bad……

My week was nothing. Just a series of minor events and happenings that I place too much importance on. I did not bear witness to 49 people being murdered in their place of worship. I did not lose family members to such an abominable act. I did not stay awake through the night trying to […]

Happenstance

I have been researching words. I want to find a word that describes that thing that sometimes occurs……….. where everything happens at once. Good and bad all jumbled on top of one another, some mere coincidences, some knocks-ons and some just completely unrelated happenings. I came up with a few; happenstance, synchronicity, perpendicularly, conversion. Then […]
