Mate - one of the better reads in recent memory. That whole blurb about thoughts, worrying about worrying, assigning value to worrying, what it all means, it resonates with me completely.
Like you, I'm not sure I have the answers, but as each day goes by, with continually trying to improve my relationship with that 'thought radio', I get better at dealing with it all.
The thing that gives me comfort is the progress that I've made is proof more progress could be made and in some weird way, the struggles I've been through are a badge of honour that says to me I can overcome what might lay ahead.
With regards to your move to the coast, we're not that far away in reality and I'll be keen to swing by for non-beer!
I found it a little funny that as I was writing this one yesterday, I felt as though I was starting to figure stuff out that I didn’t know at the start.
Proves to me that there’s something significant within the process.
That progress is motivating, then we snowball.
I think I need to remind myself to be selfish, keep doing it for no one but myself. If people enjoy it, great. If I continue to make progress the people important to me will benefit from it as a side effect.
Writing my blog has helped me understand properly myself and work so much out. Especially realising that I was still carrying baggage from losing to the British and Irish Lions. But I feel lighter for dealing with it by writing about it.
Awesome read Sammy, and if was moving down the coast, I'd be worrying I'd become lonely and cut off from my mates. But things like these blogs and Strava have helped me stay in touch and to exercise with mates, even if I'm not physically with them. See you tomorrow mate.
Yeah, you’re right. I’ll do something. It’s odd. I’m really excited for it, even though it’ll probably be no different to any other day and it’ll be over as quick as it came.

Thanks Benny. Once I get this move sorted I just need to get back to consciously practicing gratitude. I’m very fuckin’ lucky! See ya there!
Awesome mate! And what are you going to do to celebrate 100 days?
Schooners at The Dock? Haha, nah. Probably just more of the same, mate. Seems to be working!
Hahaha! If it ain't broke... dont fix it! But a 100 days celebration blog about what the biggest lesson you've learned along the way would be awesome

Whether it’s over quick or not, it’s still worth celebrating
Yeah mate, agree. Gotta recognise the milestones.
