Thinking About Life Goals
In my last post, I talked about my desire to get to doing things. One of the reasons for that is to get past the “planning and preparation” stages that I so often eagerly jump into but just as often don’t progress beyond. Now, the reason for that is partly because I’m just that way…

Matthew’s Restart Plan
My last post was two years ago (almost exactly). I’ve written a few draft posts in the intervening time, but haven’t completed any of them or felt comfortable what I ended up writing. So let’s ignore the time gap and jump back into things! Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is seemingly “over-ish”, you’re probably seeing…

Four things to encourage a healthy mind.
I struggle with fatigue, pain, motivation, and bunch of other things on most days—a lot of which is related to my Crohn’s disease. Over the past couple of years I’ve discovered and developed different tools and methods to keep my mind in a good place. It’s not easy, but it is doable! One of those…

Learning languages.
I’m quite intrigued by language. It’s something that’s always mystified me in a way. I know several languages, mostly computer based ones, but still. Language helps to define our perception of the world and learning other languages can help you to see new perspectives… view the world differently. Plus you can communicate with more people…

Let’s do a check-in.
I set some goals at the beginning of the month for myself. Besides those four goals, I had some other big “to do” items, some of which I have completed! Others still need doing. But we’re here to check in on the four main goals for October. Let’s jump in! 1. Exercise and eat more…

Top three goals for October!
October is here and the first day has already come to a close. Let’s set some goals! 1. Exercise and eat more regularly. I’ve been struggling to eat enough food over the past few weeks. That’s not great. I also haven’t been doing enough meaningful movement for my body, which is important because I’m still…

Mission: Find a piano.
I haven’t put very much effort into this yet, but I have a mission to find a piano that I can use in Vancouver. Now that I’m feeling better and am able to actually do stuff, this mission has become active and real. It’s happening; I’m going to find a piano, if not multiple pianos!…

A new week!
So last week went fairly well. Especially goal-wise! Huzzah and Wooton!! And now for my report card on how I did this past week. I’ll try to not be too hard on myself (after all, these are goals to push myself forward), but still make an honest assessment. Last week’s ‘getting back on track’ goals. 1. No technology…

Getting back on track
I used to set goals for myself on a weekly basis, especially during and immediately after my big illness. I keep trying to get back to those habits and systems that helped me to feel healthy and be productive, but it’s tough. For the past several weeks, I’ve been following Kelli Taylor’s blog (Kelli from Blimey…
