Reflections of a pensive mind

At some point we all reflect in our life. We reflect on the good and bad, positive and negative, and happy and sad elements of our past that can help shape our future. I believe all of the above make us who we are and understanding this can help us all deal with our mental health challenges. Embrace this space.

I might draw, I might no

When not at work or engaged in your usual daily routine, try to be creative. Try to find a mindful pursuit which engages you and provides balance. Write, draw, run, walk, watch, paint, sing, bake, swim, puzzle or try some gardening. Being creative provides another focus, can nurture us in so many ways and takes up the space that rumination invades.

These Drapes

We all reflect on who we are at various pivotal points in our life, be it when you get married, your 30th, have a child, get divorced, lose a loved one. At some point in your life, you will understand who you are and that hopefully you are comfortable in your own clothes. These Drapes by Bob Robb 30 Dec 2020 or check out the Poetcast video

the teacher that doesn’t teach

Advice doesn’t fall from trees. We shake it and make it at the University of Life. In life we learn so many things but not necessarily through qualifications. Through experience, knowledge and understanding we pass on advice and values to our children which hopefully gives them a better outlook and standing in life than we had. That’s our job.
