Journal: Week 23

Journal

Lifestyle
My main thing I’ve been looking at is my diet. I’ve been struggling with not taking enough food into work, and then I get absolutely starving, and then eat too much of the wrong foods. So, I’ve made a commitment to myself to make sure I take enough food in to work.
Learning
Tomorrow is my Open day at Northern Guild – so I’m going to be talking to some of the lecturers and students about pursuing some sort of education and qualification in therapy / counselling. I’m really looking forward to that.
Future Guests
As of today, we have 2 confirmed guests, and about 3 that are not far off being confirmed. The confirmed one will be on the 10th of June and that will be our good friend Hermes Auslander, and Theron too, both from the Scuttlebutt Podcast. Do check that podcast out. You’ll see details of the other upcoming ones as and when I am able to confirm dates.
The second guest we have will be the wonderful Tim Heale on the 16th of June. Tim is ex-forces and has extensive experience with relation to the welfare of officers and helping people deal with traumatic events. He also has a podcast himself called Ordinary people’s extraordinary stories – as part of the Tim Heale podcast. So do check that out!
Guesting
I am also going to be a guest on a couple of episodes. Two confirmed dates now are the 20th of June I’ll be guesting on the Saving Brothers podcast, so shoutout to those. Saving Brothers is a mental health podcast so be sure to check that out. 
On 1st July I am going to be on a comedy podcast called the True Crime Podcast – which I think is going to be a lot of fun. I’m going to be talking to Eric about my naughtier times as a younger more stupid person, so I’m really looking forward to that.
On 8th July I’ll be guesting on GEMS with Genesis Amaris Kemp which is a lovely little 30minute podcast which pretty much chats about anything and everything so be sure to check that out.
My Mental Health
I’ve had a good week this week. The long weekend was of great benefit to me, I did a nice walk at Gibside with the wife which did me a load of good – and we also painted the back yard wall – which made the Wife happy. And as they say: happy wife, happy life! Which is true! I can see a bit of wobbliness with my worrying about taking too much on, but I’m just keeping a close eye on that for now.
Physical Health
Last week I said I was aiming to do some morning exercised coupled with some meditation sessions before work. Full disclosure I only managed one day, but I’m going to take that as a victory, and maybe aim for more than one day this week. I also managed to go over some of my senior forms which was great as they are still fully absorbed in the muscle memory so I’m happy about that
ESO on Xbox.
ESO I’m doing good. Currently level 41! And still loving it. Still think it’ll be a while before I’ve gone through enough of the story to catch up with everybody who is currently going to be exploring the High Isle, but I’m getting there. I’m currently in Grahtwood for the Aldmeri Dominion faction. I’ve completed all the Anchors in that area but haven’t got any dungeons done yet.
What am I watching?
Currently me and the wife are going through Gilmore Girls, which is quite pleasant to watch and nice and easy viewing after Becky and myself have finished watching the Friends, on Netflix. 
Also, on Disney+ we are obviously going through Obi-Wan, and I noticed that another episode has dropped so really looking forward to watching that probably with my tea after this stream.
Stranger things – we haven’t started watching this one yet, but we’ll be getting into that at some point. 
We also watched the Adam Project on Netflix. This was fantastic highly recommended.
