Photo by Chris Yang on Unsplash I've succumbed to another blogging backlog but have no fear, I'm catching up once again in order (albeit with a few of the more boring weeks left off because I want to finish the challenge before the year's out and I'm running out of time)! Week 34 was the… Continue reading A Year of Mindfulness – 33 – Self Compassion
The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: October #4
Photo by Heather Ford on Unsplash I posted a few days ago about the importance of routine and how I was just starting to feel a little settled with my new routine of writing and working in the wine bar. Well Bozza swooped right in and put a stop to that one, didn't he? Up… Continue reading The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: October #4
30 by 30: How Did I Do?
I turned 30 in August, and so am a little - OK, very - late in publishing this post. But as you'll know if you're a regular reader of my blog, these last few months have been nothing short of crazy! I've been meaning to reflect on the last year, and just how much of… Continue reading 30 by 30: How Did I Do?
The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: October #3
Photo by Clay Banks on Unsplash I missed another week of posting last week - I know, but I've been cutting myself a bit of slack lately after an especially crazy few weeks. And I feel better for it!

The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: October #1
Photo by Mike Kenneally on Unsplash Before I start this post, I wanted to say that I've been humbled recently by the fact that people have actually messaged me to check in because they've noticed that I haven't posted a 5 Minute Coffee Corner or any other form of blog post in recent weeks. I… Continue reading The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: October #1
The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: September #3
Photo by Liana Mikah on Unsplash If you read with me weekly, you'll know that a) I'm super late posting this week - oops!

A Year of Mindfulness – 32 – Watching
Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash Is it just me, or does this week's title make you think of a stalker? Don't worry, there's nothing weird about this week's task, it's actually one that I already implemented in my life a while back, so it was fairly easy! This week's task card referred to… Continue reading A Year of Mindfulness – 32 – Watching
The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: September #2
Photo by Devin Avery on Unsplash Oh my god this week is chaos. It's my last week at work which has coincided with the start of term next week and a plethora of technical and logistical issues that I'm frantically trying to sort.

A Year of Mindfulness – 31 – Decluttering
Photo by Jeff Sheldon on Unsplash Woohoo! Sing it from the rooftops, finally a task that I did and enjoyed. This week is much better than last week's task! Week 31 (w/c 24th August) - the week of mindful decluttering! Now this is a task I can get on board with! This week's task was… Continue reading A Year of Mindfulness – 31 – Decluttering
A Year of Mindfulness – 30 – Squishing
Photo by Azamat Kinzhitayev on Unsplash Incoming rant alert. This week's task (which was the w/c 17th August) was the week of 'squishing', where each day before I got up I was to take a few minutes to complete the exercise. The exercise involved squeezing every muscle in my body tight, holding everything tense for… Continue reading A Year of Mindfulness – 30 – Squishing
