Mental health

The return of the last runner

October 6, 2019 by Louise Leave a Comment

Today my blog renewed and I also ran my first 5k for a very long time. I know it has been quiet for a while and I’ll be honest I haven’t been happily frolicking in a Pinterest perfect life. I mean who does? Regardless here I am starting over again. As I ran today I … [Read more…]

Running for my mental health

April 30, 2018 by Louise 3 Comments

I don’t think I ever realised how my mental health was being sustained by my running until last year. Getting injured in January 2017 turned my life upside down. What I hadn’t expected however was my life to crumble as a result. It turned out that the short twenty minute miles I was squeezing in … [Read more…]

Feel like you’re working hard but going nowhere? Maybe it is time to stop, take stock and learn to pace yourself.

Come on brain what are you playing at?

April 10, 2018 by Louise 7 Comments

I’m sat here at my kitchen table trying to find words to write for you today. I would love to be posting some pictures on social media of me smashing my goals and being a #winner but today my brain just isn’t playing. Seriously what is this all about? I know what I need to … [Read more…]

Stay out of the box

March 27, 2018 by Louise 15 Comments

Today I don’t want to do it, today I don’t want to go. But today, of all days, is the day I must. I feel huge and exhausted. I just want to eat things that are bad for me and wallow in self pity. It won’t make me feel better though. In fact it will … [Read more…]

Running away from life

March 18, 2018 by Louise Leave a Comment

When life gets on top of you sometimes you just have to run away from home.

It’s time to keep getting stronger

February 25, 2018 by Louise Leave a Comment

Almost exactly one year ago myself and Mr LMR went away for a night away from the monkeys. Tonight we are doing it again. A lot has happened in that year and the contrast is amazing. However reflecting on what was at times a pretty miserable 2017 has shown me how much stronger I am … [Read more…]

Let’s get Smart in 2018

January 23, 2018 by Louise 1 Comment

It’s nearly the end of January and, despite my best intentions, I have not yet set out my 2018 goals and aspirations. Unless you count just pulling myself out of the fog of 2017 of course. Well I have had some goals and aspirations mapped out for a while now. The blog has been quiet … [Read more…]

Spaghetti head

October 30, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

I’m a mess. My brain is like a bowl of spaghetti. A big jumbled tangle of thoughts and feelings all leading nowhere. I would love to separate them all out and straighten them one by one. Observe them and understand them. Then chose to keep or discard them. This is what I thought Mindfulness would … [Read more…]

Sometimes it is ok to shout STOP The Monkey Train!!!

July 15, 2017 by Louise Leave a Comment

Since I returned to work after my third and final maternity leave I have felt like life has just sped up. Like I’m living the same day over and over at the same time as being bombarded with never ending, mundane and taxing demands, intermittently interrupted by moments of heart meltingly wonderful monkey moments and … [Read more…]
