The Mission – Iain Douglas Stewart

Direction decided. A fresh start.

By Iain July 16, 2024Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

With reference to this post: https://iaindstewart.net/blog/2023/11/03/starting-again/ This is another one of those natural break points in my life where everything seems to be changing or shifting - this time it's not me waking up after a long period of apathy or feeling aimless, but I feel like things are going in the right direction this time. Lots of things are…

Starting again

By Iain November 3, 2023Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I know I've not properly posted on here for a long time... I go through phases where it seems like a good idea to document stuff, make a big fuss about "here's what I'm going to do next", and then never get around to it. It's got to a point where I want to start the next "big thing" (which…

Progress

By Iain December 19, 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I'm coming to the end of my knee's recovery period, and I've made quite a bit of progress since first being off work. I put up a bookcase upstairs, sorted out a bunch of old clothes and bits and bobs I don't need anymore, and sorted out my bookcase downstairs somewhat - it's still a work in progress but I'm…

I don’t know where my motivation has gone

By Iain August 11, 2022Physicality, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I try and keep it positive on here, which is why it's been quiet recently. A lot of negativity in my life right now. Stuck in a slump and I just don't know which way to go. Work is awful right now, people have been leaving for years and have not been replaced, and it's got to the point now…

Monday service: A fear of success

By Iain March 14, 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

This may be a day late again, but it's really no big deal. As long as it's once a week and honest, it's all good. This last week I made a lot of progress on the coaching course I'm currently doing - I was really cranking out the words, I think I wrote about 2000 all told, with research and…

Monday Service: A day late but that’s ok

By Iain March 7, 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

Last week was productive. I wrote a little piece about it being the third anniversary of Keith Flint's death. I had been sitting on it for a while, juggling it around in my head until it made sense, then when I realised the anniversary was a couple of days away, I wrote it up. The timing was perfect as it…

Keith Flint 17/9/1969 – 4/3/2019 R.I.P.

By Iain March 4, 2022Essays, The MissionNo Comments

Cross-post from ObeliskTherapy.net Three years ago, on Monday, the 4th of March 2019 Keith Flint was found unresponsive in his home after hanging himself. You'd think, watching one of The Prodigy's music videos that he was an aggressive and angry man. But he wasn't. Adorned with black ink, chunks of metal and an aggressive fashion sense, he did look intimidating.…

Sunday Service: Half-term

By Iain February 27, 2022Creativity, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

So this last week was half term for my lovely little boy, which meant that there was not as much progress on the goals as usual. It was more of a "thinking" week rather than a "doing" week. I brought along my planners and notebooks when I took Jake to soft play, reviewed some ideas and solidified some others. Once…

Sunday Service: Good week

By Iain February 20, 2022Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

Wow. What a week I've had. I had two morning workouts, taken my supplements every morning, and I've felt motivated to DO STUFF, which I really have not felt for a long time. It's a nice feeling. I've bought some domains, and both have functioning websites on them. One even has Woo Commerce turned on and is integrated with Gelato,…

Four bags!

By Iain February 13, 2022Reflections, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

I filled four bags with my old clothes. Crazy. It was mostly old stuff that doesn't fit anymore, but some of it I don't think suited me nowadays, or wouldn't suit the person I'm projecting my self to be. Also sorted out my supplements for the next two weeks and had a tidy. Threw out a lot of stuff. Plan…
