Today is This Is Still Me’s 6th birthday. I remember starting this blog at work in January 2017. I was bored as we had a lull in work and I didn’t have much to do, so I set up a WordPress page and typed away, hesitantly pressing publish, even though…

Even though I set intentions every week, the first ones of the year always feel the most important, like I am setting the tone for how I will “perform” throughout the rest of the year. I decided I didn’t want to put myself under that kind of pressure this year…

I do love setting goals. After doing my 2022 self-reflection, I was getting all ready to put pen to paper and suss it all out, when I saw an Instagram post from @dr.stefan.gospodinov about Mental Masturbation. Yes, you read that right. I was very cautious when I googled it, but…

As you know by now, I like to reflect on the previous month and now I have an entire year to look back on. I feel that doing this gives me perspective, what I’ve done well, what I need to work on, what I want and even more importantly, what…

I just wanted to write a short post to end the year with. 2022 has been a year of huge change for me and I am really excited for the year ahead. My normal posts will return next week with a very slight change, they will now be posted first…

Sunday 19th July 2020 I wake up, it’s still dark. The brain ticks over and over and over, there’s no way I’m going back to sleep anytime soon, so I decide to read my book. 2 hours later I go back to sleep. When I do wake up again, it’s…

Saturday 18th July 2020 Toby strikes again. 6am yowling. I decide to take him downstairs so that he doesn’t wake the whole house. 3lb back on today. I knew it was dehydration! I feed Toby and snuggle up on the sofa for more sleep. Bloody cat! I’m going to get…

Friday 17th July I literally wake up still drunk I’ve managed to lose a staggering 4lb overnight, although I’m pretty sure most of it is where I am dehydrated. Still, I’m not going to complain. I decide to take my office to the garden this morning, it’s too nice to…
