I’ve tried lots of meditation apps and playlists. I love ambient music, and there’s a couple Marvel themed ones I like listening to when I’m working. This week, I was looking for something a little stronger, to power me through an interview. I knew there were Norse ambient playlists about. There’s this artist called Danheim… Continue reading Meditating with Odin

Visual Snow
Sometimes, I read something, and it all clicks. This happened to me on Friday. I found this article on Friday, about a woman living with a rare sight condition, called visual snow syndrome. She talked of seeing static dots, flashes, floaters in her vision all the time, things I deal with every day but wasn’t… Continue reading Visual Snow
Roman
The other day, I was looking for some new clothes, for a night out. I was beginning to get depressed, as none of my usual haunts had anything I liked, and the websites for party wear are always for smaller sized people. And then I found this new… Continue reading Roman
Quiet Days
Sometimes, I just need a quiet day. A day to rest, and recharge, usually a Sunday. Time to myself, to rest, and recover from all the anxiety and insomnia of the past week. Its supposed to be a day of rest. Today, I needed one of those days. I felt bad, for saying no to… Continue reading Quiet Days
All Things Norse
I love mythology. There’s just something about it, which captivates me, mesmerises me, enthralls and enchants me. My favourite though, is definitely Norse. And with the next instalment of the Thor movies coming out soon, I’m excited, and its time to talk about my love for these spellbinding myths. Norse mythology was there for me,… Continue reading All Things Norse
Hyacinths
I love hyacinths. They’re one of the flowers my mum introduced me to, when she decided to go big with her garden last year and try planting some new flowers. And I love them. They come in vibrant colours, with these intricate petals, colourful and beautiful. I thought they only came in the deep blue,… Continue reading Hyacinths
Tulip Festival
Last year, me and my mum went to Arundel Castle, to see the tulip festival. And I loved it. I’ve been back since, every year, and its always amazing. I’m not sure what I was expecting. A few tulips perhaps. But they were everywhere. It started outside the castle, with some red and pink ones… Continue reading Tulip Festival
Headspace Really Helps
I’ve been using Headspace for years, and it really helps. I couldn’t do without it. Because for me, meditation is a lifesaver, that makes things easier, and really helps. It improves my mental health, in so many ways. It has lots of helpful sessions that I use all the time to soothe my restless mind,… Continue reading Headspace Really Helps
A Plan to Attend More Concerts
I do love a good concert. I love music. But most of the time, I’m performing the music, instead of listening to it. And it’s different. As a performer, you are working to create this world of wonder and joy and beauty, to tell the story behind the notes. But as a listener, you can… Continue reading A Plan to Attend More Concerts
Calmer Earbuds
There’s lots of products in the world that claim to reduce anxiety. And usually, you have to try them for yourself to find out if they work for you or not. I’ve tried things before, that haven’t worked. So I’m always a bit wary, when I see something new. Recently, I saw these earbuds that… Continue reading Calmer Earbuds
