Back on track

The last few weeks have been mad, loads to do, travelling half way round the world and then coming home to a pile of emails and enquiries to sort out!

But now I’m getting back on track, I’m going to get back to Blogging once a day, back to heading out running, Back to eating properly and healthily, Back to my best. 

Over the next year I hope this blog will give some of you an insight into my life, my ups and downs, thoughts and feelings as I struggle to develop as a young journalist, photographer and naturalist. Its going to be hard. lots of long nights, early mornings, deadlines and down days, but I will make it in the end. Hopefully along the way I might give some of you some lighthearted entertainment as well!

I look forward to making this work!

What a start to the weekend!

After my post about stress the other day I decided to take a short break from work. Two days to get out and enjoy myself!

The first was spent with a good friend, a lazy day in the sun, wild swimming in the local lake, no cares in the world!

The second was given over to my passion for nature. A full day birdwatching, from 05:00 in the morning till 23:10 at night. I met a good friend of mine and we took a trip out to Norfolk. We saw a huge amount and even managed to help locate a rarity for the whole country! Finished off with a great meal and a pint, another brilliantly relaxing day!

Why do my two days off matter to you? Well in those two days, even though I didn’t do any “work” I still managed to accomplish a great deal. My stress levels dropped, my creativity was reignited and my happiness improved. I also had time to evaluate what was being successful in my business at the moment, so I could target my work in the following days.

Having a break was just what I needed and it’s evidently working as I have already written two articles this morning before 10am!
