Wow. Did you ever listen to a podcast and instead of being motivated to crush the f*ck out of your day, end up feeling like a worthless, soggy tea bag of a human? This morning I stumbled upon a guy called Ben Greenfield, author of the book 'Boundless' who pays his bills by being one of the top fitness, health and bio-hacking coaches in the world. The type of guy who does triathlons for fun, MORE +
Three Things You Should (Probably) Remember
This week I have been suffering from a serious dose of Covid fatigue. I am well and truly corona-ed out, my friend. Everyone is annoying me and as a result, my daily bath quota has been rising exponentially. Oil prices might be dropping to an all-time low but watch out, water prices are going through the roof! Thankfully, I am a pretty positive person. So, with the 9% left in this week's tank MORE +
The ‘Bored in The House’ Guide to the Week Ahead
This week is going to be a little different. (Who am I kidding? This week is going to be exactly the same as last week and the week before that. Geez- I miss 2019). What I meant is this post is going to be a little different - not the usual be-happier-less-poor-and-soaked-in-self-loathing advice with a side of sarcasm that (hopefully) you have come to know and love. This week I am going to MORE +
How to Live with Other People (all-of-the-time).
Wow - there is nothing like being trapped in a confined space with the people you love, to make you dream of a small corner where other people are NOT. Whilst some of you still appear to be in the honeymoon stage of this self-isolating business (Puzzles are fun! Boardgames are brilliant! Homemade banana bread? I can do that!), I imagine others are beginning to grit their teeth a little more MORE +
How to Stay Home (without losing your sh*t) – Part 1
Stay. At. Home. I mean, c'mon - how hard can it be? Work from home in my Pyjamas? I can do that. Watch an obscene amount of TV for days on end? Not a problem. Never have to worry about cancelling plans ever again? Sign-me-up! Seventy-two hours in and it's a whole different story. I have ordered 3 cases of wine, I'm beginning to reassess my choice of husband and kids and seriously if someone MORE +
How to Communicate (Better) with Men.
There is a reason everyone always harps on about the 'importance of communication' in a relationship. Thinking before you speak (and sometimes choosing not to speak at all) can potentially save it from serious emotional fallout. Problem is, if you are in a male/female partnership you may be unaware that communicating well is akin to learning a whole new language. So, in the interest of being MORE +
The Problem With Pleasure
There tends to be two types of people in this world. The 'Right' people & the 'Right NOW' people. The 'Right' people most of the time do .....the right thing. They skip dessert but never a workout, they get up early and know when to call it a night, they say 'No' to a second helping of roast potatoes and 'Yes' to sensible savings strategies. The 'Right NOW' people have the same hopes MORE +
3 Things That (Might) Save Your Relationship
Most relationships fall over due to the same things - sex, money, boredom and busyness. I mean, sure, at the start its all legs akimbo and candle-lit promises, but throw in some familiarity, a little day-to-day domesticity and next minute you're popping on your big pants, moaning about the sh*t you can't afford and whinging about the wet towels being left on the floor (again!) That said, there MORE +
Positive Thinking – Myth or Magic?
Okay - here's the thing. Positive thinking and the whole power of the mind/body connection has been around for a really LONG time. The modern day version took root back in the 1800s when some dude called Phineas Quimby started finding success alleviating people's psychosomatic disorders (via hypnosis). Skip a whole heap of important stuff and fast forward to 1952 when The Power of Positive MORE +
How to Feel Rich (even when you aren’t).
Sometimes, when I am feeling sad or bored, I play the 'I just won the lottery' game. The actual number varies depending on my mood - it might just be a cheeky $500,000 or, if I am feeling extra bullish and deluded, I make sure it's a proper game-changer of a win. That said, it's never more than $10M because I see no need to be unnecessarily greedy with this imaginary money of mine. And, I know MORE +
