tales of my world!

Ok here's the first blog for a while since i've been suffering from blogstipation(writers block). So thats gonna be the subject of this one.
Since i started blogging i've been struggling with what to put. At the start i planned on doing two aweek then it ended up being one, now it's about zero turnout. So far the blogs i've written about have been stuff that i thought people might be intersted in reading, rather than just letting it flow. Also at the last steering group meeting it was also brought up about how the small things tend to spark more enthusiasm in the blogging world, so i'm revising how to go on from here and hopefully get rid of the blogstipation to carry on blogging till my little hearts content.
I'd like to ask for advice and what anyone else does to get through it?

PS- thank nat for blogstipation tis good

I've gotta say that the food for thought conference was really eye opening and a great success.
I think that for me atleast the conference did it's job, making me stand back and look at my poor diet and ways to change it to benefit me in the future (infact i'm eating an apple instead of chocolate right now).
All the speakers were really good (especially Patrick Holford) and did such a great job to get over the impact of diet on mental health. I walked away from there realizing just how important a good diet is, which shows that it made me think carefully.
Well here's an insight into the worst problems with my current diet.

• Often skip breakfast
• breakfast consists of cupa & toast
• i eat big meals & snack on chocolate inbetween
• hardly ever eat fruit
• also eat big supper before bed

So that's just some of the really bad habits i'm hoping to shake off in the next few months as i implement i healthier diet.

I've also got myself something else to occupy my time. That is playing a bass guitar and putting songs together with my brother. There's just so much fun to be had turning up the bass full & blasting out some music, plus i've almost finished my first song timing an all.

So yep everythings good.

Well yesterday was all about letting go!Making way for progress. This all happening on a birthday that's got a big number involved.

The letting go came on the part of both me and my brother, so that we could make big steps in our lives to move forward.
My brothers' big moment came when early yesterday he decided to go for the full skin head look. Yep he shaved it all off. Doesn't sound like much, until you are to realize how much the prospect of loosing his hair has tormented him for years. Deciding to let things be & to brave whatever comments come his way in the future, the long hair came right off, n none spared. From my point of view, of someone who's seen him in times of crisis it is an incredibly BRAVE! surge forward. To be so conscious of something for so long and worry about it until life is in the grip of anxiety is a terrible thing. What an amazing step forward though. I hope that in the near future he'll come to realize this.

For me, well i let go of an old dream. A fun hobby that turned into an obsession. As of yesterday (it's past 12 now) my motocross bike is on eBay and up for sale to the highest bidder. It marks the end of dreaming and the end of the bitterness that i left the racing world with. I can't say that i'll never think about racing & the what ifs, but in time i'll let go and stop hanging on to dream that i won't ever reach.

The final part of this post is that this all happened on my grannies 89th Birthday. To me the 89 is a big number, but she seems happy as usual
turning every passing minute into fun and happiness. She is the most inspirational person in my life & seeing her today made everything seem great!

This post is far from a negative one. It signifies change and in turn sparks optimism at the highest levels!
