Does exercising make you run a mile?

The main exercise I have to complete each day is writing.

I am an amateur.

If I was a professional. I will not lose focus. I will not jump from one task to the other. Wait for inspiration to strike. I will just be disciplined and I will work my crafts until the muse goes to sleep. The concept of exercise does make me run a mile away for sure.

I have all the warning signs of an amateur artist (you too?).

Whilst before starting I convince myself that there is nothing fun about exercising. During the exercise when the flow is on, I feel good. After the exercise when things have been completed. I feel awesome. So why dreading to start? Why being scared to be disconnected and to fly? Taking off is difficult but the flight is more than often awesome, the place of landing too. There is certainly uncertainty about the outcomes. This can be difficult to deal with but who cares. Carpe Diem this is.

People & Money – The real problem is to not act

A quick extract of an article I wrote after an event I've organised in Leicester with the support of Positive Money and Transition Leicester.  You can access the full article on  Positive Money Blog . ''In the last few months, I contemplated the idea of organising an event in Leicester about Money and the financial system.

I was letting go of my passive consumer shield to be more of an active citizen. With the full support of Transition Leicester and Positive Money, 5 knowledgeable key speakers were invited. 40 people managed to attend the event. Food, hot and cold drinks were available for everyone to share. The evening turned out not only to be fun and interesting but also educating. This was a moment we travelled in a l...

Sorrow Cycle - Love is here to stay

If you find yourself going through another cycle of sorrow and grieving, there is a song that may help you.  ''Love is here to stay'', the music was written by  George Gershwin  with lyrics by  Ira Gershwin .  Ira Gershwin wrote the words after George's death as a tribute to his brother’s passing. The song resonates with me as I find myself missing a person I love dearly. It puts forward that whatever changes, love is here to stay. The memory of love received, the love that still remains that you receive each day, the love that you give, the love that you feel, the love that is still there to welcome within your life. It will always be there regardless of the earthquake, tsunamis, illnesses and sadness. No point closing yourself from it by fear of losing it again, embrace it and live fully.
