Self Talk I used to enjoy reading. I used to enjoy writing. Always loved to socialise and meeting new people. Even though I was a bit of a geek and loved playing around with MS Access and the primary scripts of web designing (yes, I found fun and sometimes mindblowing 😂). Our active life getsContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #5”

Big little gestures
Giving way, holding a door, using “please”, “thank you” and “sorry”, supporting someone for a greater good without advertising. The proactive kindness has seen better days. The psychology around it is interesting though… I’d like to believe most of mankind resonates with that. These small gestures nowadays are, in fact, an acknowledgement of our ownContinue reading “Big little gestures”
Menopausal Monday #4
Self Talk No motivation. No energy. No joy. This is what it comes to most middle aged women every 22/30 days. All we want is for everything arounds us to slow down… Joints start to hurt, nerves cramping up, our temperature swings, brain fogs, we become more irritable, patience shortens… We look for all theContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #4”
Skilled Trades are Back!
I’m loving the news I’m coming across lately. Finally we’re starting to see a career rewind 🥳 Our society was begging for a more ruthless shift in global future professional framework. It was about time we headed back to the drawing board! To slower and happier days for the younger generations 🥂
Menopausal Monday #3
Self Talk The reasons why I can’t sleep are typically related to five things: (Often related to item 1 and 3 for me 😬, and more often than not in a double wammy). I keep trying to convince myself to be kind to myself and to take it easy, to accept that not everything isContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #3”
Just… Why?
I don’t get why there are still so many people that reverse-park when they go shopping… 😲
Menopausal Monday #2
Self Talk ” I’m exhausted.” I try and stick to all the right things on autopilot, so I don’t have to make choices (or wrong ones). It helps me stay on track. Some days it works, others require a bit more effort. I reckon that if I’ve got the healthy food and exercise plan right,Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #2”
Menopausal Monday #1
Self Talk I say to myself often. When I get halfway through the day and feel like I’ve been scraping but got nothing done, when none of my efforts are being seen (or it looks as if people are purposefully ignoring me). The whole world is against me. All the traffic lights are red, theContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #1”
Overtourism
Last week 16 people lost their lives in one (if not the most iconic) Lisbon trams. We should see this as a warning to the tourism over-crowded countries. Something must be done. And I’m not referring only to these beast old vehicles’ regular maintenance. I’m talking about the excessive tourism that’s gone out of hand,Continue reading “Overtourism”
On the “bubble-wrap” gens
I am not looking for clicks or followers writing about this topic (unless what I write entertains your thinking). As many of us do, I find writing therapeutic; it helps me make sense of the world around me. And I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to keep up with new ways of reasoning, IContinue reading “On the “bubble-wrap” gens”
