“Where do I even start?!” “There’s so much to do … argggghhh” “Man, I’m stressed out….is this even worth it?!” I’ve realised over the course of the later years of my life that I tend to get overwhelmed when the idea of personal task becomes ‘too much’. What’s my go to? Avoid, avoid at
In the middle of the night last night, with an immediate force, I sat up in my bed. I was breathing heavily and covered in sweat. I just experienced one of the scariest dreams I’ve ever experienced. I can’t remember much about it, but I can remember that it felt like it went on for

I’m about to embark on another trip down to West Cork in Ireland for the next 2 weeks. Tonight I’ll meet with a good friend in Cork, have dinner, catch up, go to a special yoga class (Tsa Lung – mostly sitting down using the holding of breath technique), and have a mediation sit with
