Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher

As is your negative system Negativity is a bad word isn’t it? It means that you’re being negative! You’re failing yourself, your life, irritating the people around you, refusing to pull yourself together. Not realising how lucky you are. Refusing to look on the bright side. And on and on and boringly on. Reality checkContinueContinue reading “Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher”

Never

Are you holding a grudge? About? Holding a grudge means giving other people power over you, and that’s something I will not do. I won’t let unkind people live inside my head, turning me bitter, ruining my digestion with the extra bile, and generally allowing me to hold myself back. I deal with things toContinueContinue reading “Never”

Within/Without

We all know that our minds control our lives, our thoughts create our reality, and yet it took me a very long time to understand how key that information is. I used to say the words, believe the words, but I never actioned the words. I never grabbed those words by the throat, shook themContinueContinue reading “Within/Without”

Not Always Anxiety

Photo by Pham Khoai on Pexels.com As a long-time sufferer of acute anxiety, over 40 years until I learned how to clear it, I have learned a lot about it, especially since it went. I personally found that anxiety made me feel like a fool, stupid for feeling the way I did, even though IContinueContinue reading “Not Always Anxiety”

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I used to suffer from terrible acute anxiety. I was born into a very messed up family, no abuse, but I’m still seeing the effects in my younger brother and until recently my cousin, to this day. I way toContinueContinue reading “Just to help”

The Rest is silence

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com As with a lot of my older work I can see that this piece is relevant to people of all genders, and no matter the relationship. It could equally be parent child. I find it so interesting the different way we look at life such a few short yearsContinueContinue reading “The Rest is silence”

Not Just Other Worldly

It might sound when I write as if I’m almost entirely other-worldly, which is miles from the truth. I’ve always been a person who loves people, and I meet as many amazing human beings as I connect with incredible off-world beings. For me both words and images are things I hold onto during the difficultContinueContinue reading “Not Just Other Worldly”

Respect should be automatic

Photo by Dio Hasbi Saniskoro on Pexels.com We need to move to a place where we automatically offer respect, understanding, tolerance, and kindness, until someone else convinces us we’re wasting a lot of good energy on them. Then we don’t change, we simply move on. It is not a big ask in this world toContinueContinue reading “Respect should be automatic”

Balance
