Life has thrown me a few curve balls lately (yes it’s a sports reference….i know SOME sports ball ok)

I ran head first into 2024 thinking “f**k yes this is my year!” 2024 had another idea for me!

My day job was going well, things were positive and I thought I was good! But the recently that turned out to be a falsehood I imagined for myself. Oh well, time to move forward onto bigger and better things!

Was starting to think things were on the up, then my other half, my rock, my stoic tower of reason was admitted to hospital and even though it wasn’t life threatening, it gave me cause to pause for a minute and realise that I may need to step up and take charge more in my life…I know how, I know why and I know what I need to step up to, so I’ve taken steps!

Life threw sh*t at me, and I got down and I cleaned it up! I made changes to my mindset, my thought processes and my attitude towards my situation and moved forward ready to take my part in my life back!

When life throws sh*t, it’s how you choose to face it, how you chose to clean it that counts.

When I’m sitting quietly is when it hits most.

It’s getting less frequent, it’s still always there in the back of my mind, how much I miss you.

Right now the happy times and the love we shared means more to me than ever, I’ll hold that close.

I have lost 4 beings in my life that turned my world upside down. I know they are always with me, that doesn’t make the pain of their physical body not being here less.

Grief is a powerful thing, grief flows with you, grief changes with you, it’s always their, but it’s never the same.

I grieve for my fur babies that have left this world Yoshi and Koopa today while I sit quietly in reflection, I miss being mobbed by my boys whenever I sat down, I miss the chaos and noise they brought into my life.

I am also eternally grateful for what they taught me in their time on earth.

I am not sad today, I miss them terribly, but I am happy they chose me to be their dad, I will forever hold that dear to me

Around 5:20pm today, Yoshi left us to cross the rainbow bridge to join his brother Koopa.

He passed surrounded by both his Dad’s and Oliver.

We’re obviously very upset but it was time his suffering had ended.

He saw me through the second half of my 20s and almost the whole way though my 30s and I can never repay him for the wonderful company and the pleasant soul he always was and will be. I’m going to fu**in miss you boy.

When I’m not we’ll, water soothes my soul.

If I’m stressed, anxious or im fighting off a sickness I crave submersion.

The act of floating and the sensory deprivation of being underwater gives me respite for my body and mind.

I have always wanted to live near water and be able to walk out my door and plunge into a cool river, lake or ocean.

But for now a long, deep soak in a bathtub will do!

This doesn’t fix me, it heals me enough to keep moving forward to do what has to be done in every day life.

Sometimes when you aren’t at your best you crave something….so chase it I say! Seek it out and find it! Build your strength to move forward with life’s necessities!

Does your partner support you?

Like really support you?

I am so blessed to find someone to share my life with who supports me no matter what. I have done some fu**in wafu s**t in my life and he has always been my biggest supporter.

He has always voiced his concerns and we have an open conversation about whatever it is, we will occasionally fight about it, but he is always there when s**t goes south for support.

The reason he is this way is we will always talk about things and what we want out of life, so when I come up with a new harebrained idea, he listens, voices his objections and what he’s keen on and we move forward in a way that suits us both.

It ain’t perfect but communicating with each other makes things far easier to understand together.

I am making some changes for myself, my health and the planet

I am in the process of moving away from normal cleaning products and cosmetic products in favour of more natural ones.

Biggest down side is the adjustment my body is having, my hair felt greasy for a while, my skin was oily and initially my BO was pretty gross…but I’ve kept at it and things are leveling out.

I really do feel better since making the change months ago, but I have a long way to go yet!

I’ll post about my journey (I hate that term but what else can I say?! 😂🤣) every so often and let anyone who is interest know how it’s going, so far it’s great and it’s saving me money in the long term, my hair is still greasier once a week after a conditioning but it evens out quickly and my skin feels great!

After my post yesterday someone said to me “you’re a mindset coach, it’s not good for your business if you post you’re not doing well”…..here’s a question…WHY THE F**K NOT?!

Any, and I mean ANY coach of any kind who shows nothing but happy times and perfect everything is fu**ing lying to you, and lying to themselves!

The coaches I have in my life are real, honest and raw and that’s what I aim to be here with you!

So here’s my truth right now as I sit here….physically I’m still tired, physically my body is sore and stiff, emotionally I’m tired. It’s been a long week. My house looks like a tip but partner, fur kids and myself are fed and we have clean clothes on our backs!

So to clear with you all, im not going to create a perfect happy life all of the time with you, because life isn’t perfect or happy all of the time, and anyone who has made you believe that is lying to you.

Currently I’m feeling depleted physically.

Sleep hasn’t been great, im getting back into a calorie deficit and I’ve upped my workouts.

I know this will pass and I will feel normal again soon, but for now im taking it easy and being kind to myself.

Choosing convenience over whole food, prioritising my rest over my housework, refueling myself so tomorrow I can keep going :-)

I keep hearing people say “be grateful for what you have”…and I am! I am so grateful for my life the way it is! I have a loving partner, amazing friends who I consider family and an amazing family! I live a pretty great life!

I am also very grateful for what is to come! It sounds weird and silly to be grateful for what hasn’t happened yet…but I am. I can hear you all saying “but Ben, what if something bad happens in your future”…. Then I’m grateful for that, because it will be there to teach me something.

Bad stuff happens, it’s going to happen regardless….so why are you stressing about it now?! Personally I feel like in my past I have been to hell and back…yet I’m still here and I’m a stronger/better person because of the bad times….

So I am grateful….for everything, good, bad, past, present and future….I am grateful!

I had someone recently open my journal and notice that I sign off my journal with “I love you Ben, you’re doing great!” They thought it was weird and even said creepy….why though?

I really don’t understand why it’s so gross to actually love yourself and show love for yourself? Rupaul says “if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else” and Ru yes you can get an amen from me!

Genuinely how are supposed to show someone else the true love they deserve if you can’t even allow yourself to love who you are?

I’m not going to lie, I don’t love my whole self…yet. I am making changes and taking steps to learn to love all of me.

If your reading this just remember, I love you for who you are, warts and all!! So maybe look a bit deeper and start to love yourself.
