October is bound to be a month of reflection for me, especially for someone who has been a chronic overthinker in the past. Removing all the horrendous going on in the UK and the wider world at the moment, the last 12 months has been a time of great change for me. Certainly as far as mental health goes and I am much the better for it. Work in progress, but hopefully taking steps in the right direction. I am sure I will be speaking more about this during the next few weeks.

On thing that I have been working harder at is the way I deal with the past. I have always given myself a hard and analyse events over and over to see what I did wrong and what I could do better. Yet I am now finally coming to terms with the fact that there is absolutely nothing I can do about anything that’s in the past, so there is little time causing myself anxiety over things that can’t be altered. I spend more time these trying to live in the here and now. I, of course, do have plenty of hopes of dreams for a happy future, but that is unwritten and it’s the present day where I am trying to focus my energies. I’m just cutting myself some extra slack and worked hard on my self-esteem which was pretty low 12 months ago.

In other news today I booked up to see The Vapors in March next year. Best known for Turning Japanese this will be the first time I will have seen them play live since lockdown, so I am very much look forward to that x
