We’ve all been there, right? Just about to fall asleep then WHAM, that negative thought hits hard and you know it’s going to be a long night. We have things on our minds all the time, life gets difficult for vast stretches of it and when it is for me…

There’s an age old question that goes something like this. What’s more important, self improvement or self acceptance? — The idea is that one must supersede the other somehow. Should you go all out on improving yourself becoming a somebody or are you content as you are, plodding along just…

No, I didn’t make this up. It’s a new study and its conclusion was that religious people as a whole are more satisfied with their sex lives than atheists and agnostics. 15,000 adults in the UK were analysed and the correlation between religion and good sex was undeniable. It stated that married women had much better sex than non-practising women, men also had much less enjoyment from causal sex. Religious men and women were said to have less sex on average but their sex life satisfaction was much higher.

Anywhere you want. Old habits, old patterns and old behaviours can be disregarded at will. You can forget a new direction at any time. “I can always choose, but I ought to know that if I do not choose, I am still choosing.” “It isn’t freedom from. It’s freedom to.” — Jean-Paul Sartre You are not free from choice. But you are free to make choices and each choice represents an avenue. Life is not a predetermined outcome. It’s a theatre of possibility. Maybe some things aren’t your fault, but you are responsible for your choices.

Have you just hit your 40s and you’re wondering what the hell you’ve done with your life? Have nothing to show for 18 years or so in the workplace? Believe me, you’re not alone. I’m there too and so are millions of others. …

The answer is of course, yes, but it is much harder than you would think. — I have made $10,000 in a month from drop shipping but that was a long time ago, it was Black Friday/Cyber Monday and the hassle in terms of customer service and dealing with returns took all of the fun out of it. There are simpler ways to do it than…

Worried about your new white trainers getting dirty? I do. I fuss over them and give them too much head space. I’ll walk like I’m stepping on eggshells when I wear them. The plain truth is they are only shoes and they’ll get dirty. Beyond the shoes lie a symbology. It carries my deepest fear of not having enough. A hoarder fears that they’ll lose everything so they keep it all. A white shoe worrier doesn’t trust that the universe will supply. Even when it does over and over again as it always has.

Sounds incredible right? But walking fast can add over 15 years to your life and slow the aging process. Hear me out on this, it’s not as crazy as it sounds. 400,000 of the UK adult population’s genetic data was studied by the University of Leicester and they discovered a link between walking pace and genetic age markers. They confirmed a causal link between walking and leucocyte telomere length (An indicator of biological age) and concluded that walking fast and briskly every day could lead to the equivalent of 16 years younger by midlife.

Walking changes lives. It calms and soothes, and drops all worries into their appropriate places. I say this will all certainty because it works for me, and my research indicates it works for others too. How it works I know not, but I know the results. When you are depressed or lonely, or anxious, walking a long walk will help. There’s something in the movement that begets more movement and more doing.
