The Hits, The Shits & The Sanity Kits
A monthly roundup of what we’re loving, what we’re over and what’s keeping us vaguely functional.
October Edition:
01 - Things I’m loving
The one thing I will NOT shut up about at the moment: ‘Nobody wants this on Netflix’.
Oh my god, the new series came out at the end of this month and I am obsessed. My coping mechanism for like, all of life is sitting and completely switching my brain off to some light hearted romcoms. Extra points if it’s funny and people.. it IS. If you haven’t already, watch this IMMEDIATELY. I’m talking take the day off work and binge watch this shit, like your life depends on it.
You’re welcome.
02 - Things I’m over
I am so over people who constantly feel the need to tell you how to improve your life. Drop weight, stop procrastinating, cultivate the perfect morning routine and squeeze the most out of your day.
My days fine so would you kindly, fuck off.
They have convinced us that something in our life is missing because let’s be honest.. it makes them money and they are going straight in my personal Room 101. Poke your 5am cold plunge up your arse and leave us alone to drink our coffee in bed while we stare at the ceiling.
Sincerely,
My procrastinating, bed rotting, cut me open and I bleed caffeine, self.
03 - Things keeping me together
This month feels very much like a birth month. If it were a season it would be Spring. There are lots of things going on under the surface but nothing much seems to have changed from the outside.
I’ve got back in touch with the spiritual me, have completely re-done my website I spent a year doing because I decided the thing I wanted most.. I just don’t anymore (ADHD hello), have realised at 42 that I want to push on in my career and am also back in the gym after a LONG hiatus. I feel both calm and overstimulated at the same time.
SO, the things that are keeping me together, are absolutely zero responsibilities, outside of that.
I am making minimal plans, watching lots of TV and spending as much time as possible, horizontal.
Some months are like that. I believe in giving your body what it needs in the moment and at the moment, I need as much down time as possible.
