I am starting 2012 afresh - got some plans and goals, and is a great time to sort out all my online bits and pieces. I am really going to try and push my art/illustration/design this year and want to try and remove as many distractions as possible. With this in mind I have had a clear out on facebook, twitter and SG - but... Read More
One of my many new years resolutions this year was to stop being quite so grumpy. It is true I can be a bit difficult. I put it down to being a 'creative' person, and when I am working on something or tired I know I can be quite difficult to be around. I get snappy and angry. I don;t want to be an angry... Read More
Rub your bald head like its a Buddha belly!
Anger is a funny thing.
One of the most important lessons I've learned is that anger is really a second emotion.
So maybe try and figure out what's making you angry, like stress, than simply put it I'm really stressed.
I started doing that.
It feels good to get out what you're feeling but in a productive way rather than a defensive way.
If that makes any sense at all.
Im sorry about your Mum.
I know exactly where you're coming from. I hate being that'shouty' Mum to my kids. When I get stressed or down I raise my voice and let simple things that kidds do get to me more and I hate myself for it. I am able to shw my affection and love for them thankfully. My mother never could.
I'd seriously love to discover how to manage my stress more. I have never really given anything other than drugs and alcohol a real try. I dont do drugs anymore and have never been someone who drank to relieve stress. I bought Yoga for the wii and a yoga mat months ago but have yet to even open them. lol.
I should walk more. I got out of the house today when the sun was out and it was really good for me. I watch alot of comedy too. I know that's a kind of avoidance way about dealing with things but laughing can't hurt can it?
Just want to wish you all a very merry, happy healthy and successful new year. I was going to write a much longer blog, and still might later, but got stuff to prepare for tonight.
But before I go - any resolutions?
You are all amazing, take care and speak to you next year.
I just wanted to say have a fantastic festive break, it may be the couple of beers I just had with lunch, but I have met so many amazing and talented people on this site, I wish you all an amazing and successful 2012! Look forward to catching all up with you next year and seeing all of your amazing, creative... Read More
