Picking up the Pen

I’m writing a lot at the moment, obviously. I’m finding that it really helps me untangle things in my head and make more sense of them. I know myself fairly well today, but there is always more to learn and sometimes, just writing something down, gives me a completely different perspective on it.

Perfectionism

The Gift and the Curse of Overthinking I’m a bit of a perfectionist. In recent years I’ve developed somewhat of a more balanced attitude towards most things I do, however if we are using a hypothetical scale where 1 is care-free and 10 is full on nut job, I’m still a solid 8.5.

The Warrior Diet

I’m fascinated with training. I’m not a ‘fitness guy’ on the gram or on YouTube. I don’t care about any of that. Good for you if you are though as some people find them very motivating and inspiring. My “thing” is music and living what I consider a pretty cool life: being fit, getting outdoors,Continue reading “The Warrior Diet”
