It's good to be putting in miles on the bikes again. It's how my journey started and, now my calf problems have forced me to accept that I won't be running again, it's good to be back to doing something I love. Cycling is a great way to discover things in your area and today was no exception. I found a great cafe and farm shop at Great Haywood. Just right for a Latte and slice of cake 🍰☕

Happy Friday!

The weekend is almost here!

Have you spent the whole week looking forward to the weekend just to see it disappear in two days of self soothing?

On the booze, on the sniff or both?

Are you already dreading Monday because you know you will feel like death?

What if I told you Mondays aren't bad. It's just your self destructive habits?

Change your habits, change your life!

At the start of any journey, the task ahead can seem overwhelming.

It's hard to fight the things that keep you where you are. Take it from me, what you consider comfort is really an anchor weighing you down and stopping you achieving your dreams.

It takes structure and discipline to overcome inertia but it also takes a strong why. For me, the why was that my father passed away at 56 and there was no way I was going to do the same.

If you are unhappy with your life, do something about it. You have the power. You just don't realise it.

Wisdom Wednesday: Nurturing Your Mind After 50

Happy Wisdom Wednesday, everyone!

Today, let's talk about something incredibly vital, especially as we gain more life experience: preserving your mental health after 50.

It's easy to focus on physical health as we get older, and rightly so! But often, our mental well-being takes a backseat. Yet, the decades after 50 can bring unique challenges and opportunities that profoundly impact our minds. Retirement, changes in family dynamics, evolving social circles, and even health concerns can all play a role.

Here's why prioritizing your mental health now is more important than ever:

* You've earned it: You've likely spent decades caring for others, building careers, and navigating life's ups and downs. Now is the time to invest in your inner peace and happiness.

* It impacts everything: Your mental health influences your physical health, your relationships, your ability to enjoy hobbies, and your overall quality of life. A healthy mind supports a healthy body and a fulfilling existence.

* New chapters, new perspectives: This phase of life can be incredibly liberating! With fewer external pressures, you have the chance to explore new passions, deepen existing relationships, and rediscover yourself. A strong mental foundation allows you to embrace these new adventures with clarity and joy.
So, how can you nurture your mental well-being?

* Stay connected: Social interaction is a powerful antidote to loneliness and isolation. Make an effort to connect with friends, family, or community groups.

* Keep learning: Challenge your brain with new skills, hobbies, or even just reading different genres.

* Prioritize self-care: This could be anything from regular exercise and healthy eating to mindfulness practices, creative outlets, or simply quiet time for reflection.

* Seek support when needed: There's no shame in reaching out to a therapist, counselor, or support group if you're struggling. It's a sign of strength, not weakness.

Remember, be kind to yourself, listen to what your mind needs, and make its preservation a top priority.

Kinda hard to believe that I used to be a runner. This was the Northbrook 10k. An event just outside Coventry and one I completed in absolute agony because I tore my calf at mile 5. Ever since I have had issues culminating in doing it again after running 1 mile on a treadmill yesterday. I now give up. Time to put my running days behind me 😢

Motivation Monday!
Happy Monday, everyone! As we kick off a new week, remember that every day is a fresh start and an opportunity to move closer to your goals.
Don't let the thought of a long week ahead overwhelm you. Instead, break down your biggest aspirations into smaller, manageable steps. Focus on progress, not perfection. Even tiny wins add up and build incredible momentum.

This week, challenge yourself to:

* Set a clear intention: What's one thing you want to accomplish or improve?

* Take the first step: Don't wait for the perfect moment; create it!

* Be kind to yourself: Celebrate your efforts and learn from setbacks.

You've got this! Let's make it a productive and positive week. What's one thing you're excited to tackle today?
