Knuckling down
February has been all about building that routine I talked about last month. This month I’m trying to find a balance that doesn’t leave me burned out, but still keeps me doing the things I want to do. Towards the end of Feb I started feeling really fatigued, so I don’t think I’ve quite got it right yet.

Starting Strong
January has felt like I’m starting to get into some kind of routine and settle into life here in NZ. I went back to Australia for about a week over Christmas. It was really good to spend some time with my little sister and visit Mum’s grave. I have a lot of emotions to unpack from that trip and I’m not sure I’m ready to do that just yet.

The month that hit like a brick
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. This month hit me like a brick to the side of the head. You know that meme of the dog in a room on fire saying “This is fine”? That’s me right now.

Down with the sickness
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. The whole middle of April was kind of a write off, but I feel like I’m starting to find my feet again.

Mindful feet. Top Story - April 2024.
I’m a life-long depressive, but I’ve mostly learned how to live with it. I can recognise when it’s getting worse, I know what helps and what doesn’t. I’ve read all the books and tried all the things and found what works for me. One of the things I tried along the way was mindfulness.

Made it to the Quarter Mark
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. I don’t feel like much happened in March. It went by very quickly. I still spent too much time gaming and not enough time making progress elsewhere. There was a low level of background anxiety building all month.

Red and brown. Runner-Up in The Dragon Beside Me Challenge.
There were dragons all around our house. Red dragons. There was the red dragon that sat on a shelf. Soft and furry, with a long tail that hung over the side.

I ran far, I ran long
These are the areas of my life that are important to me, or that I’m working on. Each month I review where I’m at and check in. I’m mostly happy with how February went. My main regret is too much time gaming, but I had some good achievements to balance it out.

The longest month of the year...so far
Reading This month I finished 6 books, which is a lot for me. Some were very short, others were started a long time ago and just happened to be finished this month.
