Don’t Know Where To Start?

February 2, 2015 by SimplyBeingMum

A recurrent theme throughout my life has been inability to act due to simply not knowing where to start. Or not starting something because I feel overwhelmed with the amount to do. Translation -  again not knowing where to start. This is a subject I've posted about before - although not quite the same theme - it was something very similar. Remember 'Just ...

Open House / Time To Slow Down

November 6, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

Come on in - the blog is open y'all! My thoughts this week are very much about slowing down. Although it may seem productive to try and get lots of stuff done, quickly, I find that the faster I go the more errors I make.

We've all seen the advert. Just Do It. The slogan with a rather large tick underneath, or above it.. What if we didn't think about it, and we just did it? (Disclaimer - I'm talking about stuff that's legal, moral and ethical. Just in case you're wondering. And for those of you who have seen 'Knocked Up' I also do not recommend saying 'Just do it, ...

Not Perfect But Not Giving In

May 21, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

Let me set the scene. At this very moment I am... In the kitchen. Talking to myself. Out loud. "What you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while" Gretchen Rubin Last week I made a pact with myself. To focus on specific things, daily. Certain things that are important to me, improvements that I want to make and skills I wish to ...
