Searching for my good mood

Some weeks I feel like my brain has been swapped out. They loan it to (or from) sane people for a couple of weeks. I’m not entirely sure at this point if I’m the borrower or lender. Some weeks, someone (mostly my husband) can do or say something and I’ll laugh. Other weeks (this week) I want to cry/scream/kill the nearest passer-by. The problem is, I’m on the mini pill. I haven’t had a period in 10 years, that’s been great but now I’m starting to wonder if it really is? I keep reading horror stories about what the pill does to you (ok these are random stories on the internet but still!) but this doesn’t give me a cycle so I don’t know where my hormones are at. I am, by nature, extremely impatient, when I say extremely, I mean to the extreme of extreme. I cannot tolerate slow walkers or drivers, being late, disorganisation and just waiting for anything in general. I am an absolute delight! My husband, on the other hand, is the extreme of the extreme, OPPOSITE! He dithers, he is never on time, and is quite possibly the most disorganised person I’ve ever encountered. Some days I literally feel like the head explosion emoji especially lately and I’m not even sure why! I’ve been back on anti depressants for a few months and they seemed to work for a bit, then real life hit and I’m behaving like a headless chicken. I’m lashing out and behaving like I want the world and everyone in it to hate me, or at least have a row with me. The last thing I needed was another bloody Monday! I skulked my way into the office, thankful to be the first one in and alone, praying that someone didn’t come in and breathe too loudly and force me to stab them. I begrudgingly ate my bowl of shreddies, whilst dreaming of a sausage & egg McMuffin and drank my water, whilst craving Coke Zero. After a while I actually started to feel a bit better. I had gone to work, the trains were ok, no one pissed me off at work and most importantly I’d not eaten or drank crap! What if the one thing that makes me feel so overwhelmed and out of control is just that? My lack of self control? Once I’d done my meal plan on my fitness pal, I felt like I’d got the reigns of my life back a bit, I felt a bit more positive about the week, like I could actually do this, like all was not lost. So now I have those bloody reigns back, I’m holding on tight!

Is Success The Thing That Scares Us? Or Is It Failure We Really Fear?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill If you fear failure, the above quote from Winston Churchill can be seen as comforting, failing at something can be a huge blow to our egos. But what if you aren't scared to fail? What if succeeding is the thing that scares you most? Failure is something that some of us are quite prepared for. Before we've even set out to do something, that voice in your head is already saying "it probably won't work out". We often prepare ourselves for the worst outcome to protect our fragile egos. If we fail, things will stay as they are and whether we are happy with our current situation or not, it is a lot easier to stay in a familiar situation. Of course, we don't want to fail, we'll feel rubbish about it, sometimes it means we can't do the things we had hoped for at the time, but ultimately, nothing has changed, and we can usually fall back into our old routin...

Nine Of The Best True Crime Podcasts

I started writing this week's True Crime Post and got myself lost down a rabbit hole. There is so much information about the case, that I want to make sure I capture all the information and do it justice. So this week, I will share some of my favourite true crime podcasts with you all. If you love True Crime like me then these are the podcasts you absolutely must subscribe to. Going West Started in 2018 and presented by husband and wife, Heath & Daphne, who discuss different US-based disappearances, murders and unsolved cases each week. I love the way Heath & Daphne bounce off each other and The episodes flow really well. Episodes are usually between 40 & 50 minutes long and are released every Tuesday & Friday and are available on all platforms. Case File True Crime This was the first true crime podcast I ever listened to and it's still one of my favourites. It started in 2016. The host is anonymous, which I quite enjoy. The show has solved and unsolved cas...

3 Small Intentions I’m Setting This Week To Energise Me After My Holiday

Revisit my routine After 2 weeks away and being 5 hours behind, everything is a little up in the air. There are things I want to remove from my routine and things I would like to add. Exercise I started using the FIIT app before I went away so I want to get back to that. All that walking around made me realise I need to improve my fitness. Writing articles I write every day but just for my personal blog, I want to write some articles so that when I make pitches they’re ready to go. I plan to work very hard this week! What are your intentions? ❤️
