Hey guys!

Hope you're all well, it's been a while since I've ventured into Chatter! I've put this in here because it is, as the forum description says, less "serious" discussion.

So I've been practicing mindfulness and yoga for coming up 18 months now, and I've started a blog about it - I was wondering if anyone would like to read it and maybe offer some views or we could start a discussion about some of the points I've made? And it may be useful to anyone who is interested in these things too!

Very few of my friends are into this sort of thing, so when I try start a discussion about it, it's very difficult!

I don't want to be all "self promote-y" about my blog, it's only on tumblr (because I have no idea where to start with any other platforms) and I have absolutely no idea who reads it, or how many people, I just wanted a platform!

Would anyone like to read it, I'll post the link if so?

I like purple

I'll be honest, I didn't read it all, but mindfulness is most certainly a key to mental calm

That's so lovely of you Twass, thank you! I really hope she finds it useful I've just put a new post up about how anxiety feels, if it's of any interest to you?

If you're on Facebook, I post on the page there everytime there's a new blog post to read!

Thanks Beth....my daughter found your article very interesting. She is studying to become a counsellor and like most pursuing such things, has had her own issues in the past.

I will "like" the page!

I think in past years you chatted on DS with my partner Splinter-Z, sadly he passed away in 2014. Just in case you ever wondered what happened to him.

Thank you so much!

Couple of new posts gone up recently,
- Emotions and masculinity
- Entitlement to negativity
- Anxiety and the surfboard analogy

Just if anyone's interested I'm finding people's comments, thoughts, and feedback really interesting x

The bit about anxiety was very informative and well explained
