“I didn’t sign up for this”.

A couple I know, were having a ‘heated discussion’. The woman told me about it. Her: “I do everything around here, you do as you please – the house is a mess, my job is draining, I’m bored and I’m tired.I didn’t sign up for this”. Him: “How is that MY fault?” Her: “Because you… Read More >

Stoic Journalling

Stoics practised journalling as a philosophical act, but not in a wafty woo-woo way. It was to prepare for the day ahead, to reflect on the day that it happened, to remind themselves of new wisdom that they had learned; from people, from books, from their own experiences. The stoics knew that it’s often not… Read More >

Trigger Warning – Funerals

Sorry to get a bit dark here, but I want you to imagine something that is definitely going to happen. You’re at the church or maybe somewhere else, and your funeral is underway. Thought I’d just get that out of the way early. You’re looking around and you recognise all those people from the different… Read More >

I did a Strong Woman Competition – (no really)

OK so here’s what happened in Feb last year – just before lockdown… I had already made 2020 resolution to “say yes to everything and work it out later”. Generally, that worked out well. However (now bear in mind, I’m quite little, do things like HITT and dancey stuff so I’m relatively fit… but the… Read More >

Let’s Monday Better

Mondays get a really bad rap. I was just thinking about why. This time of year, (and especially this year), we’ve probably had a nice weekend, getting outside, seeing friends maybe – kicking back and hopefully not working. And then BOOM, like a ton of bricks – it’s back to the grind; school runs, work… Read More >

No names, no identifiable details – but maybe you’ll read something and say HELLO – that was me, that was! You may know Human Upgrade as a membership programme (you might be already part of it), but actually it’s a system. A blueprint, if you like – of how to win at life. How to… Read More >

Rubber Band Philosophy

You’ll need: 1 rubber band. If you’ve got one – grab it, but if not, you can imagine it. So I want you to stretch the rubber band between your fingers. The left hand: where you areThe right hand: where you want to be. There’s tension, right?(Good – there needs to be) Now, if that… Read More >

Groundbreaking get in shape plan

You’d think, wouldn’t you – that everyone would know the perfect plan for eating well and exercising properly. Surely there’s been enough science by now? But the studies go on, companies release their new groundbreaking ‘thing’, lots of people try it out and do well for a while – and then they don’t. Like the… Read More >

10 ways to failure-proof yourself

Bigass post – Meaty Ideas – Simple to Implement. 1. Give yourself a break from the all-or-nothing approach. Instead (much more fun) – build some sexy-looking success chains. Each time you have a day of productivity, perfect sleep, plenty of water, great eating, enough exercise, speaking up for yourself,or whichever good choices you want to… Read More >

I’m not being sexist, but…

there are some things that men are just better at. *takes cover for incoming fire* (No genuinely – not sexist, just wildly sweepingly generalising, don’t shoot me, yadda yadda). So, men (in my experience and anecdotally) tend not to say: Can I ask a question?Do you mind if I make a suggestion? They just (sensibly, in… Read More >
