Blog

Last year I really enjoyed thinking about (and even doing some of) the items on my "21 for 2021" list. 

This list was a compilation of goals, bucket list items, tasks, habits, and random wish list products I have wanted to try or buy for ages. Basically anything I wanted to do, achieve, become or buy in 2022 :-) 

As a perfectionist I've always been a big fan of New Year resolutions. But, like the average person I haven't been very successful at keeping or achieving them! 

As I got older (and matured?!) I realised that resolutions didn't always need to be punishing and painful, but could also be used to inject some more fun into my life.

One year I had a resolution to "watch more TV", as I realised I was spending way too much of my life lying on my bed ruminating (not a helpful or healthy way to spend my time!). 

Wow, it's halfway through December already! The good news is I survived November! As I've mentioned a few times on this blog now, I did not cope very well when the clocks changed in 2020.

So, for the first time in my life I was super pro-active and came up with a plan, and as I've alluded to, I actually got through November unscathed, and felt quite good doing it :-)

Read on to find out what worked for me, and what things I didn't quite manage to achieve.

Last week I wrote about some tips and tricks I am using to manage the end of daylight savings. 

I really wanted to have a plan in place because last year was so bad. So this year I have four strategies to keep the seasonal affective disorder at bay.

Read on to find out about my final two strategies.

Last week the clocks went back (boo!). Last year when this happened I really struggled, so this year I have developed some strategies to ensure I don't go through that misery again.

Read on to learn my strategies (as well as specific tactics) or head to the comments section to share your tips and tricks. I'd love to hear from you!
