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

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

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

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!

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…

5 years

In February 2017 I had a breakdown. When you hit rock bottom, that's when you can look up and see how far it is back to the top. I made a plan. A five year plan. It was going well. I was on course. Driving lessons going well, learning how to be a counsellor. Completed most of my action plan.…

We had Covid

Jake brought covid home from school with him a couple of weeks ago. It quickly infected me, then Jane, and to a milder extent, Jane's mum and dad. We had a round of PCR tests, and they came back positive. Ten days of quarantine, or isolation, or whatever you want to call it. I was glad for the time off…

My procrastination

Procrastination is a tricky beast. To anyone watching it may look like I don't care about anything, and I'm being lazy. But in reality, I'm crippled by indecision. I don't know what to do next. There are so many things I want to do, things I want to start, things I want to finish, things I want to carry on…

Theory test passed again

So I had to retake my theory test simply because the pandemic had caused too much time to lapse. I casually remembered that I had booked it the night before the test, mild panic set in, and I quickly took three or four mock tests on the theory test app. I passed the first one, but then massively flunked the…

I own a car

So this is one of the final steps in my last action plan - buying a car. All that's left to do on the old plan is pass tests and become legally able to drive the car I've just bought. The new plan is more about consolidating things, and streamlining processes. One post on here a week as a general…

The Mission – updated

So I had a look at my old plans and it was glaringly obvious why I was drifting, rudderless. Apart from learning to drive and buying a car, and taking the next step in my counselling journey, I'd ticked off everything that was possible to tick off. And even then, there are plans in place to complete those objectives. A…
